• At €17.9 million, the Group remained at a very high level of available cash (€20.4 billion at end-2021), comprising cash and equivalents (€5 billion) supplemented by undrawn medium- and long-term credit facilities (€12.9 billion, of which €4.7 billion related to the syndicated loan signed in December 2021 for the acquisition of Equans).
1 Including non-current charges of €13m at Bouygues Construction, of €7m at TF1 and of €34m at Bouygues SA; and non-current income of €10m related to capital gains on the sale of data centers at Bouygues Telecom.
Between November 2021 and January 2022, to protect itself against a rise in interest rates, the Group entered into pre-hedging contracts with a view to refinancing the bond issue maturing in 2023 and the syndicated loan signed for the acquisition of Equans.
At 30 June 2022, the fair value of these pre-hedging swaps totalled €765 million versus €38 million at 31 December 2021 and €439 million at 31 March 2022.
The €765 million includes the value of contingent swaps (€245 million) locked in at the time of the belowmentioned bond issues.
On 17 May, the Group passed a first milestone in refinancing the syndicated loan, issuing €2 billion in bonds, in two tranches:
Concerning non-contingent swaps, a €42 million cash adjustment was collected in connection with the bond issues.
In the first half of 2022, Bouygues renewed its medium- and long-term credit facilities as they expired, without financial covenants or rating clauses. As a reminder, the amount outstanding on the syndicated loan signed in December 2021, which similarly has no financial covenants nor rating clauses, was reduced from €6 billion to €4.7 billion as a result of the above-mentioned bond issues.
At end-June, the average maturity of the Group's bonds was 7.8 years and the average coupon on the bonds was 2.32%. The debt maturity schedule is evenly spread.
The long-term credit ratings assigned to the Group by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, unchanged since 10 November 2021, are A3, stable outlook, and A-, CreditWatch Negative, respectively.
The Group confirms its outlook for 2022:
This outlook is based on information known to date. It excludes any further deterioration in the situation due to Covid-19 and does not factor in the planned acquisition of Equans or the proposed merger between TF1 and M6.
1 Net debt/shareholders' equity.
2 Science Based Targets initiative.
Bouygues remains very vigilant, looking for any changes in the macroeconomic situation and their direct or indirect consequences on the Group's activities and results.
Bouygues Telecom revises its outlook for 2022:
Bouygues Telecom replaces its sales from services growth target with a sales billed to customers growth target, which is more representative of its performance. Unlike sales billed to customers, sales from services (up 3% in first-half 2022) are subject to the structural and cyclical performance of sales from "incoming" traffic, whereas this has no impact on EBITDA after Leases (since sales from "incoming" traffic are offset by symmetric costs related to "outgoing" traffic).
Previously, Bouygues Telecom was expecting an EBITDA after Leases growth target of around 7%.
Gross capital expenditure was confirmed at €1.5 billion (excluding 5G frequencies) in order to keep pace with growth in the mobile and fixed customer base, and in usage.
The current macroeconomic situation marked by inflation and the Ukraine conflict has not had a significant effect on the TF1 group's first-half 2022 results. In the second half of the year, the TF1 group will continue to adapt its costs in line with market developments
The media arm will benefit from an ambitious programme schedule, marked particularly by the Soccer World Cup at the end of 2022, which will boost its audience figures and allow it to offer premium ad inventories to its advertiser customers. The TF1 group will extend its coverage and help meet rapidly changing customer usage thanks to its efforts to allocate content between linear and non-linear services. The divestment of the Publishers business is expected in the second half of 2022.
Newen Studios will benefit from major programme deliveries in the second half and new orders, notably from the platforms, giving it confidence in its ability to achieve the set targets.
On 12 May 2022, Bouygues signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Equans from Engie, after the employee representative bodies of Equans and Engie had given their opinions.
On 19 July 2022, the European Commission cleared the acquisition of Equans by Bouygues on condition that Bouygues complies with its commitment to divest Colas Rail Belgium.
On 19 July 2022, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), in the UK, observed that the transaction would only worsen competitive conditions solely as regards the current tender relating to catenary systems for the High Speed 2 (HS2) railway line. On 26 July, Bouygues submitted its proposed remedies on which the CMA should soon give its decision.
As a reminder, closing of this deal is expected in the second half of 2022.
The French Competition Authority's investigation teams have issued their report on the proposed merger between TF1 and M6. In their report, which in no way predicts the final decision of the authority's board, the investigation teams consider that the deal raises a number of significant competition concerns (especially in relation to the advertising market). The nature and extent of the remedies required in the report would mean that the merger plans would no longer be meaningful for the parties involved and they would therefore abandon them.
The parties, who do not intend to make any changes to their original plans, will inform the authority of their response within the next three weeks; hearings will take place before the French competition authority's board on 5 and 6 September.
In the first half of 2022, each business segment continued actions to fight climate change and protect biodiversity.

The backlog at 30 June 2022 stood at €20.5 billion and provides good visibility on future business. The 5% decline in the backlog at Building and Civil works (lower level of major contracts gained in the past year) was only partly offset by a rise in order intake at the Energies & Services arm (up 3% year-on-year).
International business, accounting for 62% of the backlog, was stable year on year. The contributions from the Americas and Asia Pacific grew to represent 15% and 24% of the international backlog, respectively. By contrast, the contributions from Europe (excl. France) and Africa & Indian Ocean decreased to represent 57% and 3%, respectively. The Middle East represented less than 1% of the international backlog.

Sales increased to €6,413 million in first-half 2022, up 1% year-on-year.
Sales are segmented between Building and Civil works (€4,540 million, 71% of total sales) and Energies & Services (€1,873 million, 29% of the total).
Bouygues Construction's sales dipped by 1% relative to the first half of 2021, like-for-like and at constant exchange rates.
Current operating profit was €185 million in H1 2022, up €19 million versus the first half of 2021. Correspondingly, current operating margin improved by 0.3 points to 2.9%, spurred on by the Energies & Services arm, which recorded a margin of 3.2% in the first half of 2022 (versus 2.3% in H1 2021). In contrast, current operating margin for Building and Civil works was 2.8%.
Non-current charges amounting to €13 million were recognised in the first half of 2022, mainly to pay for constituting Bouygues Energies & Services as a standalone entity in preparation for the planned Equans acquisition.
Net profit attributable to the Group was €135 million, up €16 million versus the first half of 2021.
Net surplus cash remained high at €2,558 million at end-June 2022, which was €138 million lower year-on-year.
Sales at Building and Civil works in the first half of 2022 totalled €4,540 million, up 2% relative to the same period in 2021.
In the Building segment, several major projects were commenced, such as the Massues Nord residential development in Lyon, the Lille Civil Administration Complex and the Jacques Chirac International School Complex. Work continued on the Crédit Agricole Centre-Est head office in Champagne-au-Mont-d'Or and on the Couvent des Minimes hotel in Mane, south-east France. The Morland property complex in Paris was handed over in June 2022.
The Civil Works segment benefited from the following:
In Europe (excl. France), sales rose 5% relative to the first half of 2021. Highlights are as follows:
In Asia Pacific, Bouygues Construction's business activities continued in Hong Kong, Australia and South-East Asia:
In the United States, Bouygues Bâtiment International continued work in Miami on Pier 66, an upscale district spanning 90,000 m2 , construction of which began in May 2022, as well as on a logistics hub for Prologis. In Civil Works, construction continued on the Pawtucket water management tunnel, south of Boston.
In Morocco, Bouygues Bâtiment International's business was also supported by work on the new Science and Technology Faculty at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University.
The Energies & Services arm contributed sales of €1,873 million to Bouygues Construction's sales. This was very close to the level of the first half of 2021.
Business highlights in the first six months were as follows:
Facility management is provided by Bouygues Energies & Services in the United Kingdom (Home Office), Switzerland (Siemens), Italy (Alstom) and Canada (RCMP).
Bouygues Energies & Services also continued developing data centers, especially in and around London and Frankfurt.
Bouygues Construction has solid fundamentals in today's tough operating business environment, specifically:
Performances in the initial part of 2022 were mixed across markets after the property sector predictably recovered in 2021
In residential property, following a sharp slowdown in business in the 2018-2020 period due to the pre-electoral period and Covid lockdowns, building permits in France continued to catch up, with permits advancing by 25% at end-March 20221 relative to end-March 2021. However, the growing shortage of supply over the same period continued to restrict commercial activity, with the level of stocks at their lowest levels since 2012 and fewer new housing units marketed (-9% in Q1 2022 relative to Q1 20212 ), resulting in lower reservations (-9% in Q1 2022 relative to Q1 20212 ).

2 Source: New housing survey (ECLN). As at 2 August 2022, the latest available data correspond to end-March.
Take-up in the commercial property sector continued recovering in the first half of 2022, with improved activity seen in the Paris region (1,008,400 m², +24% relative to H1 20211 ), reverting to its ten-year average.
At this stage, neither geopolitical nor financial conditions have significantly impacted the property investment market in the Paris region, with investment still recovering sharply in the first six months of 2022 (+28% relative to the same period in 20213 ) to place the market slightly above its ten-year average.
Several major residential property developments were handed over in the first half of 2022, such as:
Commercial launches took place and work started on several developments during the period:
In commercial property, Bouygues Immobilier was in April granted the building permit for the Vivaldi development, located on Seguin island in Boulogne Billancourt, near Paris. However, at the time of publication, it was still possible to make objections to this permit. Additionally, the foundation stone was laid in June for the HAMØ office complex in Saint-Denis (Paris region).

Residential property reservations fell by 11%, due mainly to the 39% drop in block reservations over the period. This resulted from the differences in phasing relative to 2021.
Commercial property reservations fell by 59%.

Bouygues Immobilier reported sales of €869 million in the first half of 2022, representing an 11% decrease relative to the same period in 2021, which reflected weak business trends in commercial property.
Current operating profit stood at €16 million, almost unchanged relative to the first half of 2021. Through a tight control on costs amid lower business activity, Bouygues Immobilier was able to generate a current operating profit in the second quarter of 2022, which was up sharply versus the first quarter. Correspondingly, current operating margin was 1.8% in the first half of 2022 (up 0.1 points versus H1 2021).
Net profit attributable to the Group amounted to €9 million in the first half of 2022, up €15 million versus the same period in 2021.
The French property market – already enduring disruption from the effects of the worldwide pandemic – is today impacted by the conflict in Ukraine. Fundamentals in the residential market have been upset, as demand has been weakened by higher mortgage rates and lower purchasing power. In commercial property, the spread of new working methods, plans by companies to move back into more central locations, and energy upgrade requirements are still driving the market.
Bouygues Immobilier will continue drawing on its expertise and strengths, adapting its services to the market's new configuration – namely low-carbon buildings, industrial or commercial brownfield site rehabilitations, housing units specially designed for teleworking and commercial property solutions offering flexibility and safe environments through a combination of office and coworking spaces.
In January, Colas signed a partnership agreement with Saipol to use Oleo100, a fuel made from pure French rapeseed oil, in order to reduce the carbon intensity of its truck fleet in France. This bio-based fuel lowers greenhouse-gas emissions by 60% relative to diesel and cuts particulate emissions by up to 80%. Once fully rolled out, this initiative will prevent the emission of nearly 46,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
On 24 and 25 May, almost 700 Colas managers met in Montreux (Switzerland) for a corporate social responsibility (CSR) event, under the umbrella of the Act and Commit Together (ACT) group-wide project, launched in early 2021:
On 9 June, Colas dedicated its second annual Environment Day to the topic of biodiversity. Other broader actions promoting biodiversity are conducted throughout the year. Back in 2013, Colas set the goal that each of its gravel pits and quarries must be running a biodiversity initiative by 2030.

The backlog at end-June came to a record €12.9 billion, up 25% year-on-year and 14% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions.
The backlog for Mainland France was stable year-on-year, as good momentum at the roads activities offset a drop in the backlog for rail.
The backlog in international and French overseas departments markets rose by a massive 37% year-on-year (up 20% at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions). This increase was mainly driven by:
International and French overseas departments markets accounted for 74% of the total backlog at Colas, compared with 67% at end-June 2021.
Most of Colas' business is subject to strong seasonal fluctuations, resulting in an operating loss being reported for the first half of each year.

(a) Up 9% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates.
Consolidated sales amounted to €6.5 billion, up 17% relative to the first half of 2021 (up +9% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates).
The figure was €3.0 billion in France (+5% year-on-year) and €3.5 billion for international business (+28% or +14% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates).
The current operating loss in the first half of 2022 was €160 million, down €60 million relative to the same period in 2021. The seasonal variation to which Colas is subject was less marked in the first six months of 2021 as a result of milder weather conditions in Canada. The sharp increase in production costs, especially related to energy and bitumen in the first half of 2022, broadly reduced the profitability of new business booked before the sudden hikes. Regarding these contracts, it was not systematically possible to pass the higher costs on to customers, as some contained clauses barring price indexing either fully or in part, while others were signed with indexing clauses that only partly reflect the actual increase in costs.
The share of net profits of joint ventures and associates was €22 million, up €18 million relative to the first half of 2021.
The net loss profit attributable to the Group was €132 million, compared with a loss of €112 million in the first half of 2021.

(In 2022, Latin America was integrated into the EMEA region. 2021 figures have therefore been restated to factor in this reorganisation).
First-half 2022 sales totalled €5.9 billion, rising by 10% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. In most countries, Colas subsidiaries passed on as much of the sharp rise in production costs (bitumen, energy, labour, etc.) as possible, in the form of higher unit prices for goods and services. These price hikes contributed significantly to sales growth. For example:
Sales for rail and other activities were up 2% year-on-year, driven mainly by strong business momentum at Colas Rail outside France.
Colas, which does not do business in Russia or Ukraine, is not directly impacted by the ongoing war. It remains very vigilant, looking for any changes in the macroeconomic situation and their direct or indirect consequences on its activities and results.
Sales for 2022 are set to rise relative to 2021, helped by the high level of orders to be executed in the second half of 2022, the contribution from Destia, higher unit prices charged by the Colas group for goods and services amid high inflation, and by exchange rate variations – specifically the weak euro relative to the dollar.
Colas expects that current operating profit in 2022 will exceed the previous year's figure. Part of the increase in sales has an immediate dilutive impact on current operating margin, especially in the bitumen trading activities. Colas has implemented action plans to offset the higher costs and protect its financial performance.

Contributing to a more inclusive society, TF1 in March presented its second intake of "Expertes à la Une", which brings together women experts from sectors such as health, medical research, justice, police, artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship. Its aim is to increase the proportion of women experts appearing on the TF1 and LCI news broadcasts. In 2021, the proportion of women experts featured on TF1 news broadcasts (1pm, 8pm and week-end) was 44%.
The TF1 Pub media sales unit in early 2022 launched Ecofunding, an advertising programme supported by the TF1 group. Advertising campaigns broadcast on TF1 group channels or MyTF1 that meet the criteria recommended by the French environment and energy management agency (Ademe) – such as environmental certifications, energy labels, repairability and environmental labelling – trigger payment of contribution by TF1 to the Ecofunding fund in proportion to the assigned media budget. This money can then be used to broadcast commercials raising public awareness about the benefits of buying environmentally certified goods and services. Over 190 ads of this kind were broadcast on TF1 group's linear and non-linear channels between late May and early June.
On 20 June, TF1 received eight separate awards at the 11th Deauville Green Awards, an international greenthemed festival aimed at using film to raise awareness of sustainable development.
With the competitive landscape marked by a steady flow of political and sporting events, TF1 has retained its leadership position and continues to bring together a majority of the French population by virtue of its premium diversified offering – as testified to by the solid audience scores at end-June 2022: 33.5% audience share among FRDA<502 and 30.1% of the 25-49 age group.
TF1 group's on-line content platform recorded healthy scores, most notably due to the solid non-linear audiences on the MyTF1 catch-up TV service. A total of 1.2 billion videos were watched at end-June, down marginally year-on-year, amid tougher competition from social media video sites (e.g. TikTok).
The TF1 group posted consolidated sales of €1,187 million in first-half 2022, up €58 million (+5%) versus firsthalf 2021.
Advertising revenues amounted to €816 million, up 2% year-on-year. The small decline in advertising revenues during the second quarter, due to a high comparison base that included the Euro soccer tournament and a scope effect, was fully offset by the good momentum in the first quarter of 2022.
Sales for other TF1 group activities totalled €371 million, up €45 million (14%) year-on-year, driven by sales growth at Newen in the first half of the year and the solid performance by distribution and entertainment activities.
Current operating profit was €189 million, up €20 million year-on-year.
The operating profit of €182 million included non-current charges of €7 million mainly related to the proposed TF1-M6 merger.
Net profit attributable to the Group was €126 million, up €18 million year-on-year.

Sales for the Media segment were €1,029 million, up 5% year-on-year.
Advertising revenues came to €816 million in H1 2022, up €13 million year-on-year. The decrease in advertising revenues in the second quarter (down 1.4%) resulted from the tough base for comparison connected with the Euro 2020 soccer tournament, broadcast in June 2021, and scope effects following the sale of non-French websites divested in 2021. Booming sectors such as cosmetics, travel, tourism, banking and insurance offset others such as food and motor vehicles that were not doing so well. The cost of programmes was €441 million, down €26 million year-on-year. In addition to the soft comparatives (as no major sporting events were held in the first six months of 2022), this cost figure reflects the TF1 group's ability to keep spending in check and unlock savings whenever required without sacrificing its top-flight schedule or endangering its leadership position in target-audience share.

Current operating profit for the Media segment was €171 million, up €24 million year-on-year, yielding a current operating margin of 16.7% (+1.7 points year-on-year). This margin increased sharply in the second quarter to 21.1%.
In June 2022, TF1 divested Gamned!, a digital marketing agency specialised in programmatic media buying. It also announced that an agreement had been signed to divest the Publishers business. Furthermore, TF1 entered into exclusive negotiations on 21 July 2022 to sell its interest in Ykone, a global influencer marketing agency. The closing of this transaction was announced on 27 July 2022.
Sales by Newen Studios amounted to €158 million in first-half 2022, up 9% year-on-year.
In this period, Newen Studios continued growing internationally, benefiting from the contributions of two new studios, Izen (Spain) and Flare Film (Germany), acquired in 2021.
Newen Studios brought new talent on board and acquired labels in late 2021 and in the first six months of 2022, specifically in the UK (Joy Gharoro-Akpojoto and Joi Production), Denmark (Sigrid Dyekjaer for Real Lava) and Spain (Tomas Ocana and Capa Spain). These talents, who enjoy strong reputations in various formats including documentaries, are helping to strengthen the position of Newen Studios in the booming market for new content.
Major productions to be delivered in the second half of the year include Liaison for Apple TV+ and Marie-Antoinette for Canal+.
Orders from streaming platforms, rewarding customer knowledge built up over several years, accounted for 35%1 of the backlog at end-June 2022, thanks to orders confirmed in the Netherlands during May and April for Tuvalu (Nemesis and The Hunt for Jasper S.).
Current operating profit for Newen Studios was €17 million, a dip of €4 million versus the first half of 2021. Current operating margin was 11.0%. This margin increased sharply in the second quarter to 17.8% (up 3.1 points year-on-year), enabling a return to a normal level of profitability for the first half of the year after a first quarter marked by the usual seasonal fluctuation.
The current macroeconomic situation marked by inflation and the Ukraine conflict has not had a significant impact on the TF1 group's H1 2022 results In the second half of the year, the TF1 group will continue to adapt its costs in line with market developments
The Media segment will benefit from ambitious programming, marked particularly by the Soccer World Cup at the end of 2022, which will boost its audience figures and allow it to offer premium ad inventories to its advertiser customers The TF1 group will extend its coverage and help meet rapidly changing uses thanks to its efforts to allocate content between linear and non-linear services. The divestment of the Publishers business is expected to be carried out in the second half of 2022.
Newen Studios will benefit from major programme deliveries in the second half and new orders, notably from the platforms, giving it confidence in its ability to achieve the targets set.

In the first half of 2022, Bouygues Telecom continued working hard for all its B2C and B2B customers. Its development strategy continued to be implemented, marked by a desire to win new market share, numerous innovations and efforts to enhance the customer experience:
Under the effects of the pandemic, existing shifts in the French telecoms market gathered pace as more and more activities were carried out on-line, requiring an even better quality of service. Against this backdrop, Bouygues Telecom continued innovating and investing in fixed and mobile networks to provide seamless, highquality services to all its customers. In recognition of this, it was awarded first place in the nPerf2 survey for its Wi-Fi performance for the second time running in July 2022.
Bouygues Telecom also became the first telecoms operator to offer video sales assistance as part of its clientcentric strategy responding to new purchasing habits. Thanks to "Visio Conseiller", new and existing customers can benefit from all the expertise of an in-store advisor directly in their homes and thus receive support and answers to their questions.
Mobile customers excluding MtoM totalled 15 million at 30 June 2022, with 193,000 new adds during the first half of the year.
In fixed, the company had 2.6 million FTTH subscribers at end-June 2022, thanks to 315,000 new adds in the first six months. The proportion of fixed customers subscribing to a FTTH plan continued increasing, rising to 58% versus 45% one year earlier. The fixed customer base totalled 4.5 million, with 81,000 new adds in the first six months. Bouygues Telecom had a 16.1%3 share of the national FTTH market at end-March.

In line with its 2020-2030 Climate Strategy, Bouygues Telecom rolled out several environmentally-responsible initiatives in the first half of 2022.
Since February, a "Rapid Repair" service has been on offer in-store, available to everyone – customers and noncustomers alike – to help extend the lifetime of smartphones. Also in February, Bouygues Telecom showcased the latest generation of its TV decoders, the Bbox 4K HDR1 , made 95% from recycled plastic and eco-designed to extend its lifespan and encourage reuse.
In March, Bouygues Telecom launched source, the first socially-responsible phone plan on the market, with no minimum term. This unique offer, operated in partnership with Lilo, encourages digital sustainability amongst customers, enabling them to convert unused gigabytes of data into financial support for non-profits.
Bouygues Telecom is also the first operator to trial a power supply system fuelled by green hydrogen on some of its mobile sites. This innovative solution results in a 70% cut in CO2 emissions and reduces sound levels by a factor of 1002 .

Reflecting the good commercial momentum in mobile and fixed, sales billed to customers were €2.7 billion, up 6% versus the first half of 2021, benefiting from continued growth in the mobile and fixed customer bases and in ABPU3 (mobile ABPU, restated for the impact of roaming, rose €0.2 year-on-year to €19.8 per customer per month, while fixed ABPU increased by €1.0 year-on-year to €28.7 per customer per month).

The decrease in sales from incoming traffic reflected lower voice and text usage and lower regulated per unit tariffs. However, sales from incoming traffic have no impact on EBITDA after Leases as this is compensated by symmetric costs related to outgoing traffic.
As a result, sales from services rose by 3% year-on-year. Other sales rose 12% year-on-year, driven by growth in sales on handsets and network roll-outs. In total, the operator's sales increased by 5% versus the first half of 2021.
Thanks to tight control of costs, EBITDA after Leases rose €72 million (up 9%) versus H1 2021 to €830 million. Therefore the EBITDA after Leases margin continued recovering (up 1.8 points versus end-June 2021), on track with the steady margin improvement target outlined in the Ambition 2026 plan.
Current operating profit was €295 million, up €51 million year-on-year.
Gross capex at end-June 2022 was €869 million, up €115 million year-on-year, in conjunction with Bouygues Telecom's development plans in mobile and fixed. Disposals, mainly related to the sale of data centers, totalled €32 million at end-June 2022 (versus €172 million at end-June 2021).
Net profit attributable to the Group of €193 million was down €27 million versus the first half of 2021.
Bouygues Telecom has adjusted its outlook for 2022:
Bouygues Telecom has replaced its sales from services growth target with a sales billed to customers growth target, which is more representative of its business performance. Unlike sales billed to customers, sales from services (up 3% in H1 2022) are subject to the structural and cyclical performance of sales from "incoming" traffic, whereas this has no impact on EBITDA after Leases (since sales from "incoming" traffic are offset by the symmetric costs related to "outgoing" traffic).
Previously, this growth target was around 7%.
Gross capital expenditure was confirmed at €1.5 billion (excluding 5G frequencies) in order to keep pace with growth in the mobile and fixed customer base, and in usage.
Bouygues SA reported a net profit, according to French accounting standards, of €711 million in the first half of 2022, an increase of €101 million versus first-half 2021. This increase was mainly due to a €247-million rise in dividends received, bearing in mind that dividends received in 2021 were based on 2020 earnings, which had been negatively impacted by the pandemic. This increase was limited by the non-recurrence, in 2022, of the €122-million capital gain related to Alstom and by a €19-million increase in costs for the Equans, Newborn and Alstom transactions.
The 'Risks and Risk management' section (Chapter 4) of the 2021 Universal Registration Document contains a description of the risk factors to which the Group is exposed.
There has been no significant change to the risk factors during the first six months of 2022.
The main changes involving claims and litigation concern the following cases:
At the end of 2016, St Stephen's Green Funds ICAV entrusted Bouygues E&S Ireland Limited with a contract to design and build a data centre.
The energy supply to the building site depended on the construction of an electricity sub station. The construction of the substation, which ICAV entrusted to a third party, suffered delays. This impacted the performance of the contract and resulted in ICAV applying penalties, terminating the contract and claiming damages from Bouygues E&S Ireland for an alleged loss.
Three adjudication decisions recognised ICAV's right to, in the final analysis, apply penalties for delay against Bouygues E&S Ireland. Bouygues E&S Ireland brought arbitration proceedings on 4 November 2019 to challenge the enforcement of penalties and to claim damages.
Following a partial award which was handed down on 12 November 2021 which rejected ICAV's claims and ordered it to pay Bouygues E&S Ireland €40.9 million, the Arbitral Tribunal handed down a final award on 30 June 2021 under the terms of which ICAV was also ordered to pay Bouygues E&S Ireland €11 million for the cost of the proceedings, interest and lost profits.
Bouygues Travaux Publics (within the scope of a joint venture) entrusted Jan De Nul on 9 January 2017 with a subcontracting contract for dredging and technical and hydraulic fill services for the Monaco offshore extension project.
Because Jan De Nul failed to deliver materials which conformed with the contractual specifications, Bouygues Travaux Publics replaced Jan De Nul for this task. Jan De Nul disputed this decision and terminated the contract against Bouygues Travaux Publics on 20 December 2019.
This dispute was the subject of an arbitration at the end of which the Arbitral Tribunal, on 22 December 2021 dismissed all of Jan De Nul's claims for damages and ordered it to pay Bouygues Travaux Public the sum of €1.7 million.
Jan De Nul has lodged an appeal to cancel the award.
A joint venture comprising VSL Hong Kong and Gammon Management Services Ltd ('VSL SWC') was the holder of two sub-contracting contracts entrusted by the Gammon – Skanska – MBEC joint venture (the 'Joint Venture') relating to the Shenzhen Western Corridor project, initiated by the Hong Kong Expressways Department (the 'Client').
On 15 February 2019, the Client established that an external prestressed cable had failed. A dispute ensued between the parties concerning the reason for the broken cable and the possible defects which could affect all the other cables.
Three arbitration proceedings were therefore started in this context on 15 May 2020:
A last arbitration procedure was brought on 20 September 2021 between the Client and VSL. The claim for damages stands at around €12.8 million.
The exchange of statement of cases is now complete, and the hearings are expected during 2023.
On 3 November 2015, Bouygues E&S Contracting UK Limited (BYES) and Full Circle Generation Limited (FCG) entered into a (i) Design-and-Build contract (DBC) and (ii) an Operation-Maintenance contract (OMC) for a biomass plant in Belfast.
The plant was put into service on 26 March 2020. The performance tests performed after this date were not conclusive. The FCG terminated the DBC for fault on 5 July 2021, and the OMC for fault on 6 July 2021.
FCG began arbitration proceedings on 28 March 2022 for damages for the plant failing to achieve the required performances. At this stage, the claim for damages stands at €14.5 million.
Searches and seizures were performed in the premises of Bouygues Construction Services Nucléaires' offices in Bagnole-sur-Cèze (France) on 12 February 2019. These searches and seizures were authorised by an Order of the Nanterre District Court on 6 February 2019 following an application by the Rapporteur General of the French Competition Authority on 4 February 2019.
The investigation involves practices which are prohibited under article L420-1 of the French Commercial Code in the engineering, maintenance, dismantling, and processing of waste from nuclear plant sector.
The scope of the investigations covers all ten contracts awarded by CEA (the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission) for its Marcoule site.
On 23 June 2022, the Competition Authority sent a statement of objections to Bouygues Construction Services Nucléaires, as the originator, as well as to Bouygues Travaux Publics and Bouygues as the parent companies.
In January 2022, Bouygues Telecom lodged an appeal with the French Supreme Court against the judgement of the Paris Court of Appeal dated 24 September 2021 which had dismissed its claims for damages against Free Mobile based on the misleading practices of the targeted throttling of certain Internet uses by Free Mobile on the Orange roaming network.
The case brought in October 2019 by Free Mobile against Bouygues Telecom concerning certain mobile phone offers which combine a phone subscription plan with the purchase of a mobile telephone is continuing before the Paris Commercial Court.
Bouygues Telecom repeated its arguments contesting the admissibility and the merits of the grounds of Free Mobile's action in submissions filed on 15 April 2022 and proposed, in the alternative, that the Court submits a preliminary question to the European Court of Justice on the specific application of the sectoral right of electronic communications to the bundled offers in dispute. Bouygues Telecom also increased its counterclaim for damages for its prejudice resulting from the disparagement of its offers by Free Telecom to €3 million. Free Mobile reassessed its loss and increased it to €812 million, in submissions filed on 15 June 2022.
On 29 March 2022, Arcep (the French telecoms regulator) reached a decision on the request to settle the dispute between Bouygues Telecom and Orange on the financial terms for access to the vertical FTTH lines deployed by Orange in buildings. In its decision n°2022-0682-RDPI, Arcep granted Bouygues Telecom's application and ordered Orange to send a draft contract modifying the mechanism for returning contributions to the costs of putting into service associated with the end customer's connection within six months.
Orange has appealed to the Paris Court of Appeal to have this decision overturned.
A US company that manages a patent portfolio filed claims against Bouygues Telecom in October 2017, and then in January 2018 in the Paris District Court alleging infringement of three patents it claims to own and which are allegedly used in the equipment in DSL and 4G networks.
Two of the patents have been the subject of cancellation decisions at first instance, by the Paris Judicial Court on 23 September 2021, and the European Patent Office on 25 November 2021 respectively, and the Plaintiff company has filed appeals against the decisions with the Paris Court of Appeal and the EPO's Board of Appeal.
The TF1 group's channels brought proceedings for infringement against Molotov TV in the Paris Judicial Court on 1 July 2019 arguing that it was continuing to broadcast and use its channels without authorisation, by indirect means and with the complicity of third parties. The TF1 group's channels also applied to the Pre-trial Judge at the Paris Judicial Court on 18 November 2020 within the scope of these proceedings, for an injunction to order Molotov TV to cease using the brands of its unencrypted channels. On 7 January 2022 the Paris Judicial Court ordered Molotov to pay €8.6 million damages to the TF1 group's TV channels for the infringement of its neighbouring rights and its brands.
Molotov TV has appealed this judgement.

The principal corporate actions and acquisitions of the first half of 2022 are described below:
• During the second half of 2021, to protect itself against a rise in interest rates, Bouygues SA entered into pre-hedging arrangements with a view to refinancing the bond issue maturing in 2023.
Upon the signature in November 2021 of the agreement to acquire Equans from Engie, Bouygues also entered into prehedging arrangements for the future bond issues that would provide long-term refinancing for the syndicated acquisition loan that was contracted on 3 December 2021 and is due to mature two years after the closing of the acquisition. Those arrangements were contracted between November 2021 and January 2022, partly in the form of swaps contingent on completion of the Equans acquisition.
On 17 May 2022, Bouygues carried out two bond issues totalling €2 billion with an effective date of 24 May 2022. The issues comprise a 7-year €1 billion tranche bearing interest at 2.25%, and a 15-year €1 billion tranche bearing interest at 3.25%. The issues mark the first step in the refinancing of the syndicated loan contracted to finance the acquisition of Equans. Consequently, the authorised amount of the syndicated loan had been reduced to €4.7 billion as of 30 June 2022. If the acquisition is not completed, Bouygues has an option to redeem the bond issues at 101% of nominal.
As of 30 June 2022, the fair value of the pre-hedging swaps recognised as an asset in the balance sheet within "Financial instruments – Hedging of debt" was €765 million, before deferred tax liabilities of €198 million. That compares with amounts (before deferred taxes) of €38 million as of 31 December 2021 and €439 million as of 31 March 2022. The change in fair value during the first half of 2022 (see Note 7) was recognised within "Income and expense recognised directly in equity".
The €765 million fair value of the pre-hedging swaps recognised as an asset in the balance sheet includes €245 million for contingent swaps, the value of which became fixed when the May 2022 bond issues were carried out. In addition, an upfront cash payment of €42 million was received by Bouygues when the issues were made; that amount is presented within "Cash and cash equivalents" in the balance sheet as of 30 June 2022.
Of the tax payable when the swaps are closed out, half will be offset against tax group losses, and half will be paid out during 2022. The tax will be netted off against the tax benefit arising on the interest expense on the bond issue, which will be deductible for tax purposes at the nominal rate of the issue.
When SDFAST was created, Vauban Infrastructure Partners and Bouygues Telecom undertook to subscribe to the capital of the company. Bouygues Telecom also contributed (i) a service contract that includes a commitment to source FTTH connections solely from SDFAST for a period of 35 years at a pre-set tariff and (ii) supply contracts enabling SDFAST to acquire FTTH connections from building operators. SDFAST will also be able to offer the same access services to thirdparty operators. The transactions valued Bouygues Telecom's 49% equity interest in SDFAST at €585 million as of 6 April 2022, including €535 million for the contracts contributed (which will be recognised in current operating profit over the life of the contract) and €50 million for the capital increase to be carried out by Bouygues Telecom. As of 30 June 2022, Bouygues Telecom's equity interest in SDFAST was valued at €611 million.
Bouygues Telecom has an option to take control of SDFAST exercisable between 31 July and 31 December each year from 2031 to 2033, and then every five years from 2036 to 2056.
• On 12 May 2022, Bouygues signed the Equans Share Purchase Agreement with Engie, following the issuance of all the opinions of the relevant employee representative bodies of Equans and Engie. Completion of the acquisition of Equans remains subject to obtaining all the regulatory clearances required from the antitrust and foreign investment control authorities. Completion of the deal is expected in the second half of 2022, as per the initial schedule.
Under the terms of the initial purchase agreement signed on 5 November 2021, Bouygues was required to make a payment of €130 million on signature of the Share Purchase Agreement; that amount will be deducted from the purchase price if there is a successful conclusion to the purchase process. Consequently, Bouygues paid Engie €130 million in May 2022 under the terms of the agreement. In the statements of cash flows, that amount has been classified within "Net cash generated by/used in investing activities", within the line item "Other cash flows related to investing activities".
• On 28 June 2022, TF1 signed an agreement with a view to selling its Digital Media arms's Publishers business – including the aufeminin, Marmiton, Doctissimo, and Les Numériques brands – to the Reworld Media group.
The proposed sale reflects firstly TF1's aim to focus on its content publisher, multi-channel streaming and production interests, and secondly a wave of consolidations driven by profound changes in display and special campaigns within the online ad sector. The Reworld group has agreed to take over all of Publishers employees. The proposed sale has been presented to the employee representative bodies of TF1. Closing of the transaction remains subject to the customary conditions precedent, in particular regulatory clearance from the French competition authority.
On 21 July 2022, TF1 signed an agreement to enter into exclusive negotiations with Future Technology Retail with a view to the sale of the influence marketing operations carried on by the Ykone entities.
Completion of the two deals is expected in the second half of 2022.
Because the Publishers business of the Digital Media arm and the Ykone entities were both held for sale as of 30 June 2022, all the assets and liabilities of those entities have been classified in "Held-for-sale assets and operations" and "Liabilities related to held-for-sale operations", which are separate line items presented at the foot of the balance sheet, in accordance with IFRS 5, at carrying amounts of €198 million and €74 million respectively. Because the estimated fair value of the held-for-sale assets is greater than their carrying amount, no provision for impairment against those assets was recognised in the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022.
The principal corporate actions and acquisitions of the first half of 2021 are described below:
• On 29 January 2021, Alstom announced that it had acquired Bombardier Transportation, via two rights issues reserved for affiliates of Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Bombardier Inc. Bouygues recognised a gain on dilution of €56 million within "Share of net profits/losses of joint ventures and associates" in the consolidated income statement for the first quarter of 2021, based on Alstom's €3.4 billion valuation of the 76,184,296 shares issued on the date of completion of the acquisition. On completion of all those various rights issues, Bouygues held an equity interest of 6.35% in Alstom.
On 10 March and 2 June 2021, Bouygues announced that it had sold respectively 12 million and 11 million Alstom shares, representing 3.23% and 2.96% of Alstom's share capital, for €984 million (net of transaction costs), through an accelerated book building reserved for institutional investors. Bouygues recognised a gain of €152 million (net of transaction costs and taxes) within "Share of net profits/losses of joint ventures and associates" in the consolidated income statement for the first half of 2021. Following those sales, Bouygues holds an equity interest of 0.16% in Alstom. Loss of significant influence over Alstom led to the reclassification of the residual equity interest to "Other non-current financial assets", and to the recognition of a fair value remeasurement of €6 million as of 2 June 2021 in respect of the residual equity interest within "Share of net profits/losses of joint ventures and associates".
The residual equity interest in Alstom, classified within "Other non-current financial assets", amounted to €18 million as of 31 December 2021.
three financial years. The vendors and the Newen group entered into a shareholder agreement which specifies the terms for (i) the payment of contingent consideration and (ii) the exercise of reciprocal undertakings whereby the vendors have an option to sell, and the TF1 group has an option to acquire, additional equity interests of 15% in 2025 and 10% in 2028. As of the date control was obtained, provisional goodwill of €15 million was recognised pending finalisation of the purchase price allocation; the impact on net debt was €29 million, including €9 million for the put option granted to the non-controlling shareholders. Following completion of the valuation of the reciprocal undertakings and the contingent consideration of €2 million in the second half of 2021, provisional goodwill amounted to €15 million as of 31 December 2021; the impact on net debt was €34 million, including €12 million for the put option granted to the noncontrolling shareholders. On completion of the 12-month purchase price allocation period, the provisional goodwill became final, and amounted to €16 million as of 30 June 2022.
• On 19 July 2022, the European Commission authorised the acquisition of Equans by Bouygues, subject to compliance with the undertakings made by Bouygues to divest Colas Rail Belgium.
Also on 19 July 2022, the UK Competition and Markets Authority issued an opinion indicating that its concerns around competition were limited to the ongoing tendering process for catenary systems for the High Speed 2 (HS 2) railway line. On 26 July, Bouygues submitted its proposed remedies on which the CMA should soon give its decision.
therefore abandon them. The parties, who do not intend to make any changes to their original plans, will inform the authority of their response within the next three weeks; hearings will take place before the French competition authority's board on 5 and 6 September.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Bouygues and its subsidiaries ("the Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2022 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", a standard issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. Because they are condensed, these financial statements do not include all the information required under the standards issued by the IASB, and should be read in conjunction with the full-year consolidated financial statements of the Bouygues group for the year ended 31 December 2021 as presented in the Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on 23 March 2022.
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the standards issued by the IASB as endorsed by the European Union and applicable as of 30 June 2022. Those standards (collectively referred to as "IFRS") comprise International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee – previously the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), itself the successor body to the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). The Group has not early adopted as of 30 June 2022 any standard or interpretation not endorsed by the European Union.
Unless otherwise indicated, the financial statements are presented in millions of euros, the currency in which the majority of the Group's transactions are denominated; they comprise the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of recognised income and expense, the statement of changes in shareholders' equity, the cash flow statement, and the notes to the financial statements.
The Bouygues group condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Bouygues SA and its five business segments.
They were closed off by the Board of Directors on 1 August 2022.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022 were prepared in accordance with IFRS using the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value where this is required under IFRS. They include comparatives with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and the six months ended 30 June 2021; the balance sheets and statements of changes in shareholders' equity as of 30 June 2021 have been restated to reflect the final agenda decision of the IFRS Interpretations Committee on IAS 19. That decision led the Group to reassess the methodology for calculating the vesting period used in determining the amount of the provision for lump-sum retirement benefits. Applying the decision led to a €69 million increase in published shareholders' equity as of 30 June 2021. The provision for lump-sum retirement benefits was reduced by €90 million, and deferred tax liabilities increased by €10 million. On the assets side of the balance sheet, deferred tax assets decreased by €12 million, and investments in joint ventures and associates increased by €1 million. No impact was identified on the income statement or on the statement of recognised income and expense for the first half of 2021.
In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management used estimates and assumptions as described in Note 2.2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Accounting policies specific to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:
As of 30 June 2022, certain actuarial assumptions (discount rates, salary inflation rates including the effects of general inflation, and return on plan assets) have been revised, reflecting significant changes during the period. The overall impact was a gain of €142 million (€111 million net of deferred taxes), recognised in the statement of recognised income and expense for the first half of 2022, and comprising:
The impact on provisions of an additional increase or decrease in discount rates within and outside France would be as follows:
| Assumption | Increase | Decrease | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lump-sum retirement benefits (France) | 50 basis points | (32) | 35 |
| Pensions (outside France) | 20 basis points | (11) | 12 |
In addition, a rise of 50 basis points in the salary inflation rate used in France would result in an increase of €19 million in the provision.
Those impacts would also be recognised in the statement of recognised income and expense.
The Bouygues group applied the same standards, interpretations and accounting policies in the six months ended 30 June 2022 as were applied in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for changes required to meet new IFRS requirements applicable as of 1 January 2022 (see below).
On 14 May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37, relating to onerous contracts. The amendments clarify what costs an entity considers in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract, in order to assess whether that contract is onerous. The impact on the Group is immaterial.
▪ Amendments to IAS 16
On 2 July 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16, relating to how entities account for the net proceeds generated by an item of property, plant and equipment while that item is being brought to the location and condition necessary for it to be operated. The amendments prohibit entities from deducting such proceeds from the cost of the item; rather, the proceeds generated by the sale and the corresponding costs must be recognised in profit or loss. The impact on the Group is immaterial.
▪ IFRS IC conclusions related to IAS 38
In April 2021, the IASB approved the December 2020 agenda decision of the IFRS IC on accounting for the costs of configuring or customising application software in a Software as a Service (SaaS) arrangement. Depending on their nature, such costs are generally required to be recognised as an expense, either immediately or over the term of the contract. An analysis of those costs within the Group is ongoing and will be finalised in the second half of 2022, given that some of those costs impact entities affected by the changes in the scope of consolidation of the TF1 group described in Note 1.1. At this stage, the impact would appear to be immaterial at Group level. All costs of configuring or customising application software brought into service since 1 January 2022 have been accounted for in accordance with the IFRS IC agenda decision.
Sales and operating profit are subject to strong seasonal fluctuations due to low activity levels during the first half, primarily at Colas due to weather conditions. The extent of those fluctuations varies from year to year. In accordance with IFRS, sales for interim accounting periods are recognised on the same basis as full-year sales.

The decrease during the first half of 2022 relates mainly to the following corporate actions at TF1:
Those effects were partly offset by €17 million of translation adjustments.

An increase in euro interest rates, which impacts various components of the discount rates used, was observed during the first half of the year. However, this does not call into question the results of the impairment testing conducted as of 31 December 2021, given that the discount rates as of 30 June 2022 remain below the levels at which the recoverable amount of the assets tested would equal their carrying amount (as reported in Note 3.2.4 to the financial statements as of 31 December 2021).
An analysis by business segment of the share of net profits/losses of joint ventures and associates is provided in Note 11.

The carrying amount of investments in joint ventures and associates increased by €643 million in the period, reflecting the firsttime consolidation of SDFAST for €585 million (see Note 1.1).
The investment in SDFAST had a carrying amount of €611 million in the Bouygues balance sheet as of 30 June 2022, after taking account of the €10 million share of SDFAST's net loss for the period and €35 million of remeasurements of financial instruments.
The table below shows aggregate amounts for the principal assets, liabilities, and profit and loss items in respect of the Bouygues group's investment in SDFAST:

The investment in SDAIF had a carrying amount of €280 million in the Bouygues balance sheet as of 30 June 2022, including the €6 million share of SDAIF's net loss for the period.
Bouygues has an option to buy out some or all of the shares of SDAIF exercisable between 15 March and 15 June each year from 2024 to 2027, and then every five years from 2030 to 2050.
As of 30 June 2022, the share capital of Bouygues SA consisted of 382,522,675 shares with a par value of €1.
That includes 5,705,000 treasury shares, of which 3,135,000 were acquired during the first half of 2022 for €100 million. All of the treasury shares are being held with a view to their cancellation.

The €1,450 million increase in non-current debt mainly reflects (i) the two bond issues totalling €2 billion carried out by Bouygues SA in May 2022 and (ii) an increase of €266 million in non-current debt at Colas, partly offset by the reclassification from non-current to current of the €700 million Bouygues SA bond issue maturing in January 2023.
Current debt rose by €87 million. This mainly reflects the redemption of an €800 million Bouygues SA bond issue on maturity in February 2022, which was more than offset by (i) the reclassification of the €700 million Bouygues SA bond issue maturing in January 2023 from non-current to current and (ii) an increase of €218 million in current debt at Colas.
All bond issues contain a change of control clause relating to Bouygues SA.
The bank credit facilities contracted by Bouygues SA contain no financial covenants or trigger event clauses. The same applies to facilities used by Bouygues SA subsidiaries.

To the shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meetings 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 half-yearly consolidated financial statements were prepared under 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 half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, the standard issued by the IASB and endorsed by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed halfyearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
