The Group's 2021 results demonstrated strong improvement year-on-year and returned to their pre-crisis level.
The Group, which views its corporate social and environmental responsibility to be of strategic importance, deployed its 2021 roadmap.
These two unique strategic transactions will enable the Group to enhance its resilience and to expand its reach to a higher level and therefore, in line with its strategy, to create and share value with all its stakeholders, especially its shareholders.

Relying on a very robust financial structure, the Group is confident in its future.
The Board of Directors will ask at the Annual General Meeting on 28 April 2022 for approval of a dividend of €1.80 per share, an increase of €0.10 from the previous financial year. The ex-date, record date and payment date have been set at 3, 4 and 5 May 2022 respectively.
The following outlook is based on information known to date and excludes any further deterioration in the situation due to Covid-19, the acquisition of Equans and the TF1-M6 merger.
For 2022, Bouygues Telecom targets:
In 2022, the Group is expecting a further increase in sales and current operating profit versus 2021.
After endorsement of Colas' greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in 2021, the other business segments are now aiming to receive SBTi1 endorsement of their decarbonization plans.
Commenting on the Group's results, Olivier Roussat said:
"Bouygues is well-positioned for 2022. In addition to its ambitious CSR strategy and positioning in fast-growing markets, the Group enjoys diversified business activities, margin improvement plans and recurring cash generation. The plans to acquire Equans and to merge TF1 with M6 are major milestones in the Group's history that will make it even more resilient and expand its reach. Bouygues' excellent momentum makes us confident about our future and ability to create value for our stakeholders."
The backlog in the construction businesses at end-2021 remained high at €33.2 billion, providing good visibility on future activity. This includes the backlog at Destia (consolidated in Colas' financial statements as of 31 December 2021) for €755 million. This amount is similar to the end-2020 backlog of €33.1 billion (at constant exchange rates and excluding principal disposals and acquisitions, the backlog was down 3%). International markets accounted for 65% of the backlog for Bouygues Construction and Colas at end-2021, up 3 points versus end-2020.
The backlog at Colas was a record €10.7 billion, up 9%2 year-on-year. This was driven by solid commercial performance in international markets. In particular, in the fourth quarter 2021, Colas won a turnkey design-build contract for the Manila metro rail system (€680 million) and a multi-year motorway maintenance contract for

Area 9 in the United Kingdom (around €400 million, of which around €160 million booked as order intake in the fourth quarter of 2021). As a result, the international backlog at Colas was up 14%1 year-on-year.
The backlog at Bouygues Construction (€20.8 billion) at end-December 2021 was higher versus end-September 2021 (€20.4 billion). In the fourth quarter of 2021, Bouygues Construction booked sizeable orders, including phase 2 of the FTTH roll-out in Brittany (around €190 million), the construction of two data centers in Frankfurt (around €170 million) and the construction of a new property complex in Gentilly (around €100 million). The backlog was nonetheless 6% lower than the end-2020 level (high basis of comparison and lower backlog drawdown on major contracts in 2021).
Commercial activity at Bouygues Immobilier remained strong, with a 16% year-on-year increase in residential property reservations, reflecting the robustness of the French residential property market and strong customer demand. In this context, Bouygues Immobilier continued reinforcing its land management, with building permit applications in France up 43% year on year. However, trends observed in recent quarters persisted, with extensive lead times for the issuance of building permits and commercial property customers remaining cautious. Overall, the backlog at Bouygues Immobilier was 12% lower than at end-2020.
The construction businesses reported sales of €27.9 billion in 2021, representing a 7% increase year-on-year (up 6% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates).
The increase was driven by France (up 9% year-on-year), which was affected, in 2020, by a strict lockdown followed by a gradual resumption of activities. International sales were up 4% year-on-year.
Compared to 2019, sales were 6% lower due to a high basis of comparison.
The construction businesses reported a very strong improvement in current operating profit year-on-year (up €388 million) to €825 million. This was €85 million lower than in 2019. At 3.0%, the current operating margin was far higher than in 2020 (1.7%) and almost returned to its 2019 level (3.1%).
Operating profit reported by the construction businesses was €807 million, up €420 million year-on-year. This included net non-current charges of €18 million (versus net non-current charges of €50 million in 2020) related to adaptation measures at Bouygues Immobilier, the continued dismantling of the Dunkirk site and the acquisition of Destia at Colas.
At Colas, the good performance of current operating profit and current operating margin versus 2020 and 2019 came from the first positive effects of plans to optimize the industrial activities and the new organization at Colas France. Colas reaffirms therefore its ambitions to achieve a current operating margin of 4% in 2023.
Within Bouygues Construction, the Energy & Services arm similarly experienced the first positive effects of its transformation plan, which, against the backdrop of an expanding market, aims at improving the current operating margin (over 5% in the medium term) and at boosting the cash generation. Sales at the Energies & Services arm were €3.9 billion, 3% more than in 2019. Current operating margin stood at 2.8% in 2021 versus 2.1% in 2019 (and -0.4% in 2018). At the same time, measures on cash flow produced significant results, with net cash increasing by €489 million in the space of two years to reach €594 million at end-2021.
At end-2021, TF1 group's audience share of target audiences was high at 33.5% among FRDA2 (up 1.1 points) and 30.2% among the 25-49 age group (up 0.3 points).

In this context, TF1 reported sales of €2.4 billion at end-December 2021, an increase of 17% year-on-year and 4% versus end-2019, driven by:
Current operating profit stood at €343 million at end-December 2021, up €153 million year-on-year and up €88 million versus end-2019. As a result, current operating margin improved sharply to 14.1% (up 5.0 points year-on-year and up 3.2 points versus end-2019). TF1 therefore reached its guidance of current operating margin of more than 12% in 2021.
Operating profit included non-current charges of €10 million related to the proposed merger between TF1 and M6.
In 2022, recent measures will strengthen TF1's media business model and continue to drive the growth of the production activities. TF1 plans to ramp-up the non-linear content offering (MyTF1, MyTF1 Max, Salto) and a wider range of services for advertiser customers (addressable TV, digital inventories, etc.), and capitalize on the sustained demand for local content, particularly from the platforms in which Newen benefits from wellestablished expertise and customer knowledge.
Business momentum at Bouygues Telecom remained solid throughout 2021, in both mobile and fixed.
At end-December 2021, mobile plan customers excluding MtoM stood at 14.8 million, of which BTBD's 2.1 million customers integrated on 1 January 2021.
In 2021, the operator also added 569,000 new customers. Mobile has grown strongly since 2015, with more than 500,000 new plan customers won annually, excluding MtoM.
In fixed, it had 2.3 million FTTH customers at end-December 2021, thanks to 718,000 new adds over the full year. More than half of fixed customers now subscribe an FTTH plan compared to 38% a year earlier. The fixed customer base was 4.4 million customers, with 278,000 new adds over the full year.
The rate of fiber roll-out continued to accelerate. The number of FTTH premises marketed was 24.3 million at end-2021, in line with the "Ambition 2026" strategy (27 million targeted for end-2022 and 35 million for end-2026). The operator is now active in all areas of mainland France.
Concurrently, Bouygues Telecom has signed a long-term Memorandum of Understanding with Vauban Infra Fibre to cover the entire Medium Dense Area and increase coverage of the Public Initiative Network (PIN) area. For this purpose, a joint venture called SDFAST was created in which Bouygues Telecom is the minority shareholder and Vauban Infra Fibre the majority shareholder. Bouygues Telecom will have access to infrastructure through a long-term service contract with the joint venture. This shows that Bouygues Telecom has continued optimizing the management of its infrastructure.
Reflecting this strong commercial momentum, sales at Bouygues Telecom were €7.3 billion, up 13% versus end-2020 (up 5% like-for-like).
Sales from services were up 14% (up 5% excluding the integration of BTBD), thanks to the growth in the mobile and fixed customer base and higher ABPU1 (annual mobile ABPU, restated for roaming impact, rose €0.5 year-on-year to €20.5 per customer per month, while annual fixed ABPU rose €0.4 year-on-year to €28.2 per customer per month against a backdrop of strong customer acquisition in FTTH). Other sales rose 8% year-on-year, driven by growth in handset sales.

EBITDA after Leases was €1,612 million, up €110 million versus end-2020, a 7% increase. As expected, EBITDA after Leases margin was 1.8 points lower than at end-2020 due to the dilutive effect of integrating BTBD and a mix effect with the ramp-up of FTTH.
Operating profit in 2021 was €663 million, up €12 million year-on-year. This improvement includes net noncurrent income of €91 million (versus €28 million in 2020), essentially related to the capital gain on the sale of data centers.
Net capex at end-2021 was €1,331 million, up €306 million year-on-year, related to the strategy of enhancing network quality as well as the investments needed for the BTBD integration and for the 5G and fiber roll-out.
Bouygues Telecom achieved its full range of guidance set for 2021: organic growth of around 5% in sales from services, growth in EBITDA after Leases (including BTBD) of around 7% and net capex of around €1.3 billion.
During 2021, Bouygues renewed its medium- and long-term credit facilities as they expired, without financial covenants or rating clauses. Similarly, the syndicated loan signed in December 2021 with 16 banks for €6 billion has no financial covenants or rating clauses. This loan has a maturity of two years starting from the completion of the Equans acquisition and will be refinanced by bond issuances.
At end-December, the average maturity of the Group's bonds was 5.1 years and the average coupon was 2.51%. The debt maturity schedule is evenly spread and includes the €800-million bond issue (maturing 11 February 2030, coupon 0.5%, rated A3 by Moody's and A- by Standard and Poor's) of 27 October 2021 to repay a loan of the same amount on 9 February 2022.
Net debt at end-December 2021 was €941 billion, a year-on-year improvement of over €1 billion. The high level of cash generated by operations (€1.2 billion) plus the sales of Alstom shares (around €1 billion) comfortably exceeded the payment of dividends (-€0.7 billion) and the acquisition of Destia (-€0.2 billion) over the period.
The most recent long-term credit ratings assigned to the Group by Moody's and Standard & Poor's were A3, stable outlook and A-, CreditWatch Negative, respectively. These ratings, both dated 10 November 2021, were published after the announced signing of the Equans purchase agreement with Engie.
