Limoges, February 13, 2020
On the closing of full-year accounts for 2019, Benoît Coquart, Legrand's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"In 2019, in a mixed economic environment, Legrand delivered a solid integrated performance that was fully in line with its targets for the year3 and its value-creating medium-term business model.
Sales rose a total +10.4%, driven in particular by dynamic +2.6% organic growth and a sustained +5.3% increase in scope of consolidation, rounded out by a +2.2% exchange-rate effect.
Adjusted operating margin before acquisitions1 came to 20.4%. Taking acquisitions into account, adjusted operating margin was 20.0%, reflecting a +9.4% rise in adjusted operating profit. Net profit attributable to the Group and normalized free cash flow increased by +8.2% and by +13.0% respectively.
In addition, non-financial performance was ahead of schedule, with 113%2 achievement rate of Group's CSR roadmap – reflecting its commitment to all stakeholders.

3 For a complete presentation of Legrand's 2019 targets and medium-term business model, readers are invited to consult the press release dated February 14, 2019.
In keeping with its ambitions1 , in 2019, Legrand pursued initiatives aimed at strengthening its profitable growth profile and leading positions.
Against this backdrop, in June 2019, the Group reiterated its focused ambition as a strategic player in connected buildings through steady deployment of the Eliot program. Legrand sales of connected products have thus risen by +29% in total, including organic growth up a solid +10%. This performance reflects the very positive response to IoT products, plus the successful docking of Netatmo.
The Group also continued its bold innovation drive, launching a host of new products that included user interface ranges, digital solutions, cable management systems and energy distribution products.
As part of its ongoing strategy of value-creating acquisitions, Legrand also purchased three companies in 2019: Universal Electric Corporation, the undisputed US leader in busways for data centers; Jobo Smartech, the Chinese leader in connected hotel-room management systems; and Connectrac, an innovative US company specializing in over-floor power and data distribution. These bring to 10 the number of acquisitions that Legrand has made over the past two years, reinforcing the Group's leading positions in growing areas.
Lastly, Legrand is actively pursuing initiatives aimed at improving its performance, including in particular roll-out of the Legrand Way2 program, digitalization of its organization, and optimization of its industrial footprint.
The Group's 2019 achievements fully reflect the momentum that stems from its medium-term business model for value-creation3 ."
-----------------
Proposed dividend
Legrand's Board of Directors will ask the General Meeting of shareholders to approve the payment of a dividend of €1.42 per share in respect of 2019 (compared with €1.34 in respect of 2018).
2020 targets
In 2020, Legrand will pursue its strategy of profitable and sustainable growth.
Based on current macroeconomic projections, which are uncertain on the whole for 2020, and excluding any major changes in the economic environment4 , Legrand has set as targets, on the one hand organic evolution in sales in 2020 of between -1% and +3%, and on the other hand adjusted operating margin before acquisitions (at 2019 scope of operations) of between 19.6% and 20.4% of sales.
Legrand will also pursue its strategy of value-creating acquisitions and, subject to finalization of opportunities currently under discussion, intends to aim for a total increase of at least +4% in scope of consolidation on sales in 2020.
Legrand will moreover actively continue to deploy its demanding CSR roadmap for 2019-2021.

2019 integrated performance
Consolidated sales
Sales for 2019 stood at €6,622.3m, increasing +10.4% in total from 2018.
In 2019, sales growth at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates was +2.6%, driven by rises in both mature countries (+2.6%) and new economies (+2.5%).
The impact of the broader scope of consolidation came to +5.3%. Based on acquisitions completed in 2019 and their likely dates of consolidation, this should reach around +1% in 2020.
The exchange-rate effect on sales was positive at +2.2%. Based on average exchange rates in January 2020, the full-year exchange-rate effect on sales for 2020 should be about +0.5%.
Changes in sales by destination at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates broke down as follows by region:
| 2019 / 2018 | th quarter 2019 / 4th quarter 2018 4 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Europe | +3.3% | +5.1% |
| North and Central America | +2.5% | +2.3% |
| Rest of the world | +1.4% | +2.3% |
| Total | +2.6% | +3.4% |
These changes at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates are analyzed below by geographical region:
- Europe (39.9% of Group sales): in 2019, sales in Europe rose +3.3% at constant scope and exchange rates compared with 2018.
In Europe's mature countries, sales rose organically by +2.9% in 2019. The trend was driven by good showings in Italy – that reported strong performances in energy distribution, user interfaces, and connected products such as video door entry systems, Smarther thermostats, and the Living Now with Netatmo range – as well as in the United Kingdom, in the Benelux1 , in Switzerland and in Southern Europe2 . Sales rose in France from 2018, driven by the positive response to new connected products including emergency lighting and user interfaces with the Mosaic line launched in 2019 and the dooxie range introduced earlier.
In Europe's new economies, 2019 sales rose +6.0% at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates, with Eastern Europe turning in a particularly solid showing.
The very sustained growth in sales recorded in Europe in the fourth quarter alone compared with 2018 (+5.1%), benefitted in part from one-off factors, particularly in Turkey and in Eastern Europe, and sets a demanding basis for comparison for 2020.
- North and Central America (38.6% of Group sales): organic growth in sales was +2.5% in 2019.
This good showing was driven by the United States, where sales rose +2.9% with solid growth in user interfaces, cable management, and busways for data centers, rounded out by rising sales in lighting commands and solutions.
Sales also rose in Canada, and retreated in Mexico.
Note that in 2020, the Group will not be pursuing a US retail contract that no longer meets Legrand's profitability criteria; this is expected to have a negative impact on 2020 sales in North and Central America of around -2% of 2019 sales.
- Rest of the world (21.5% of Group sales): sales rose +1.4% at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates in 2019.
In Asia-Pacific, sales were up +2.4% from 2018, reflecting in particular a sustained increase in India and China. Australia saw a decline in business, as did certain countries in Southeast Asia.
In South America, organic growth in sales came to +0.4% in 2019, with sales nearly unchanged in Brazil and mixed trends for the rest of the area.
In Africa and the Middle East, sales retreated by -0.5%. Strong growth recorded in many African countries including Egypt and Algeria was offset by a marked decline in the Middle East reflecting the region's difficult geopolitical and economic environment.
2020 should remain marked by the uncertain political and economic environment in several regions.
1 Benelux: Belgium + Netherlands + Luxembourg.
2 Southern Europe: Spain + Greece + Portugal.
Adjusted operating profit and margin
Before acquisitions (at 2018 scope of consolidation), adjusted operating margin came to 20.4% of sales in 2019. Against a backdrop of rising US tariffs, fully offset, this +0.2-point improvement from 2018 reflects efficient management of pricing, a good operating performance over the year, and solid control of administrative and selling expenses.
As announced, the impact of changes in the scope of consolidation on adjusted operating margin was -0.4 points for the full year, setting adjusted operating margin at 20.0% of sales in 2019.
Adjusted operating profit rose +9.4% to €1,326.1m.
Net profit attributable to the Group
Net profit attributable to the Group rose by +8.2% in 2019, to total €834.8m.
This represents a €63.1m increase from 2018 that stems mainly from:
- a rise in operating profit (+€98m);
- an unfavorable change (-€16m) in net financial expenses (due primarily to implementation of the IFRS 16 standard for an impact of -€10m) and the foreign-exchange result; and
- a rise in corporate tax in absolute value (-€17m), coming from the increase in Group profit before tax, partially offset by the favorable impact of a one-off reduction in the corporate tax rate from 28.1% in 2018 to 27.5%.
Cash generation
In 2019, cash flow from operations stood at 18.4% of sales, i.e., up +11.0%.
Normalized free cash flow was up +13.0% from 2018 at 15.2% of sales.
Working capital requirement came to 8.1% of sales at December 31, 2019, down 1.1 points from December 31, 2018. This was due primarily to a particularly favorable trend in operating working capital requirement that was partially offset by the consolidation of recent acquisitions.
Exceeding one billion euros, free cash flow represented 15.8% of Group sales, marking a sharp rise in 2019 – nearly +40% – from 2018.
Non-financial performance
In 2019, the Group recorded 113%1 achievement rate of its CSR roadmap, placing it ahead of schedule. Launched in May 2019, this fourth roadmap, covering three years, is structured around three focal areas (Business Ecosystem, People, and the Environment) and ten key challenges that contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
In 2019, the Group also:
- confirmed its commitment to fighting climate change as part of the 2019 edition of the French Business Climate Pledge, by (i) setting a target validated by Science Based Targets that calls for a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and (ii) committing to help customers avoid CO2 emissions by offering highly energy-efficient solutions and transparent communication on the environmental impact of its products in PEPs (Product Environmental Profiles);
- published its "diversity and inclusion" policy to favor diversity within the Group, built around five areas (gender diversity, inclusion of disabled workers, intergenerational collaboration, social and cultural diversity, and inclusion of LGBT+ people);
1 Achievement rate of CSR 2019-2021 roadmap in 2019.
- continued initiatives with local communities. In France, for example, the Legrand Foundation recognized social and charitable structures promoting support in the home for people with reduced autonomy for the fourth consecutive year; in India it helped open "telemedicine centers", awarded scholarships, and offered training leading to certification for 2,500 electricians over the year; and
- contributed to improving access to water and electricity under its longstanding partnership with the NGO "Electriciens Sans Frontières", providing logistical and material assistance, particularly following natural disasters.
Legrand moreover recorded continuous progress in promoting health and safety at the workplace by:
- raising the number of hours of related training per employee by nearly +27% from 2018; and
- reducing significantly the frequency of workplace accidents in 2019.
Dividend
The Legrand Board of Directors will ask the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 27, 2020 to approve the payment of a €1.421 per-share dividend in respect of 2019 (versus €1.34 in respect of 2018). The ex-dividend date will be June 1, 2020 and the dividend will be paid on June 3, 2020.
Strengthening profitable growth profile
Continued deployment of Eliot program
Legrand intends to continue its role as a strategic player in the field of connected buildings, and announced on June 12, 20192 that it was stepping up development in this area.
The Group has thus set new 2022 targets for the Eliot program, aiming for (i) double-digit average annual organic growth in sales for connected products from 2018 to 2022, and (ii) over one billion euros in sales of connected products in 2022, excluding perimeter and exchange-rate effects.
In 2019, sales of connected products were up +29% from 2018, including organic growth of +10%, thus already accounting for over 12% of total Group revenues for the year (€819m). This strong showing is in line with targets2 and reflects the program's good momentum over the year. Drivers included:
- geographical deployment of IoT offerings, with ranges of connected user interfaces marketed in 28 new countries in 2019;
- ongoing launches of many new products, including new ranges of user interfaces such as Valena Next with Netatmo and Plexo with Netatmo, the Classe 100x video door entry system, and emergency lightings;
- successful docking of Netatmo, reflecting its continued strong growth and good fit with Legrand, as well as many innovations that included the ones revealed at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020, from the "Drivia with Netatmo" connected panel to the Group's first smart lock offering;
- a richer user experience thanks to new functionalities linked for example to artificial intelligence and predictive analysis of human behavior, along with deployment of the Home+Control app for the connected home.

Moreover, the Group launched a host of new products in 2019, including:
- user interfaces such as Mosaic in France, Radiant Graphite in the United States, Lyncus in India, Belanko S in Southeast Asia and Rivia in Vietnam;
- digital infrastructures, including fiber cassettes and power delivered over ethernet distribution systems;

Lastly, the Group has continued to deploy and enhance its LCS3 high-performance structured cabling offer.
Three acquisitions made in 2019
In 2019, Legrand pursued its growth strategy by acquiring companies that are leading players in their markets, with:
- Universal Electric Corporation, the undisputed American leader in busways for data centers;
- Jobo Smartech, the Chinese leader in connected hotel-room management systems (lighting, ambient temperature, etc.); and
- Connectrac, an innovative US company specializing in over-floor power and data distribution.
This brings to ten the total number of acquisitions Legrand has made in the past two years, enabling the Group to strengthen its positions in promising markets in the United States, France, China, Germany, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.
Based on acquisitions made in 2019, and their likely dates of consolidation, the full-year 2020 impact of changes in scope of consolidation is estimated at around +1% of net sales. Moreover – subject to finalization of opportunities currently under discussion – the Group intends to aim for a total increase of at least +4% in scope of consolidation on sales in 2020.
Ongoing momentum for improving performance
In 2019, Legrand continued its policy for performance improvement.
One example is the active deployment of Legrand Way1 . The program's practices are now being extended to all functions, particularly those related to product development, after successful implementation at Group industrial sites.
1 Program dedicated to the implementation of best practices throughout the Group, covering in particular the management of operational performance, new-product development, rules for health and safety, and quality.
Legrand is also digitalizing its organization:
- at front-office level, for example through many digital marketing and marketing automation initiatives;
- as well as at back-office level, in particular thanks to Factory 4.0 tools: at year-end 2019, already 70 initiatives (POCs1 ) had been implemented, up from 51 at year-end 2018, and 40 were being tested.
The Group also kept on actively optimizing its industrial footprint, particularly by:
- rationalizing the configuration and number of its production sites in Russia, Spain, China, India, Saudi Arabia and Brazil; and by
- reducing Group carbon emissions by -6% from 2018 to 2019, through a net decrease in consumption.
Together these initiatives have strengthened Legrand's profitable and sustainable growth profile.
