1 ENGIE 2019 HALF-YEAR RESULTS
The previously published financial data presented hereafter have been restated to take into account impacts resulting from the application of IFRS 16 – Leases. A reconciliation of the reported data with the restated comparative data is presented in section 6 of the management report for key financial indicators and Note 1 "Accounting standards and methods".

(1) i.e. excl. E&P and LNG.
(1) Including share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method.
(2) Organic variation = gross variation without scope and foreign exchange impacts.
(3) These targets and this indication assume average weather conditions in France, full pass through of supply costs in French regulated gas tariffs, no significant accounting changes except for IFRS 16, no major regulatory and macro-economic changes, commodity price assumptions based on market conditions as of December 31, 2018 for the non-hedged part of the production, average foreign exchange rates as follows for 2019: EUR/USD: 1.16; EUR/BRL: 4.42, and without significant impacts from disposals not announced as of February 28, 2019.
• Networks were impacted by several headwinds, particularly in gas transmission in France with the end of subscriptions on the North-South pipe and tariff linearization.
Cash flow from operations (1) decreased due to timing effects from commodity related margin calls, notwithstanding increasing operating cash flow and improving operating working capital requirements. Management team expects a substantial improvement for the full year 2019.
Net financial debt increased in comparison with end of 2018 (2) , due to high CAPEX which were only partly offset by disposal proceeds. ENGIE also paid a higher than usual dividend during the first half of 2019 (€0.75 per share paid in May, no more interim dividend next October).
The Group's robust financial structure has been reaffirmed by S&P, which confirmed its A- rating in April, and by Fitch, which confirmed its A rating in June, both maintaining their stable outlook. In June, as announced, Moody's downgraded its rating from A2 to A3 following the adoption of the Loi PACTE in France which has prompted a reappraisal of its one notch uplift for government support.
ENGIE continued to pursue its strategy, focused on zero-carbon transition leadership in the first half of 2019, with strategic progress made particularly in Renewables, complemented by the TAG acquisition in Networks. Management team expects growth to further accelerate over the second half, driven by improving underlying business performance across the main activities of the Group.
In Client Solutions, ENGIE and its partners were awarded a 35-year energy efficiency contract in Ottawa (Canada) to deliver and modernize heating and cooling systems for Government buildings. In addition, ENGIE acquired Conti in North America, a company delivering services in the building, design, engineering and construction sectors. Over the second half, Client Solutions results are expected to benefit from contract phasing effects expected to subside, from increasing order backlog and contributions from tuck-in acquisitions as well as from the performance plan to continue to address markets with increasing competitive intensity affecting margins.
In Networks, ENGIE announced on June 13, 2019 that the consortium in which it holds a majority stake has completed the acquisition of a 90% shareholding in TAG, the largest gas transmission network owner in Brazil. TAG has a portfolio of long-term contracts providing an attractive earnings stream and rebalancing ENGIE's geographic exposure in Networks activities. Over the second half, Networks results will continue to be impacted by the constraints which were evident in the first half, partly offset by the organic French distribution and transmission tariff increases. The TAG acquisition will also positively contribute to earnings.
In Renewables, 1.4 GW of wind and solar capacity was commissioned in the first half, confirming a marked acceleration after the commissioning of 1.1 GW for the full year 2018, and 8.7 GW are now installed, under construction or secured to reach the 9 GW target of commissionings over 2019-21. The new joint-venture in Mexico with Tokyo Gas demonstrates our ability to deploy our DBSO (3) model and attract strong partners to accelerate the development of our portfolio, and the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with EDP aims at creating a leading global offshore wind player. Over the second half, Renewables results are expected to be enhanced by the ramp-up of wind contributions (especially in Brazil), improving hydrology in France and new DBSO margins to be recorded mainly in the second half.
In Thermal, ENGIE continued to execute its strategy of carbon footprint reduction. ENGIE closed the disposal of its 69.1% stake in Glow in Thailand and Laos (3.2 GW of generation capacity, of which 1.0 GW is coal), ending its participation in coal in Asia-Pacific. ENGIE also announced the disposal of its German and Dutch coal assets (capacity of 2.3 GW), reducing coal to below 4% of its global power generation capacity after closing of this transaction. Over the second half, Thermal results will be impacted by these disposals.
(1) Cash flow from operations = Free Cash Flow before maintenance CAPEX.
(2) 2018 figures adjusted for IFRS 16.
(3) DBSO = Develop, Build, Share & Operate.
Revenues were €33.0 billion, up 9.3% on a gross basis and 7.6% on an organic basis.
Reported revenue growth includes a positive foreign exchange effect, mainly due to the appreciation of the US dollar, partly offset by the depreciation of the Argentinian peso and the Brazilian real against the euro, and to an aggregate positive scope effect. Changes in the scope of consolidation included various acquisitions in Client Solutions (primarily in the United States with Unity, Donelly and Systecon, in Latin America with CAM and in Germany with OTTO) and in Supply (Plymouth Rock in the United States), partly offset by the disposals of the business Supply activities in Germany at the end of 2018 and of the stake of Glow in Thailand and Laos in March 2019.
Organic revenue growth was primarily driven by Supply activities (benefitting from a favorable market context for business customers in France, higher power sales in France both to business and retail customers and positive price effects in the United States, Belgium, Romania and the Netherlands), by effective energy management services and favorable market conditions for Global Energy Management (GEM) activities, by Thermal in Europe with higher volumes sold, by a wide ranging momentum in Latin America (tariff increases in Mexican and Argentinian gas distribution activities, PPA portfolio growth in Chile and dynamic energy allocation as well as commissioning of new wind farms in Brazil) and growth in Client Solutions in France and Belgium. This growth was partly offset by lower revenues from gas storage activities (less purchase/sale operations in France and in the United Kingdom) and by lower hydroelectric power generation in France (-26% versus an exceptional first half in 2018).
Clients Solutions revenues were up 10% on a gross basis and 3% on an organic basis.
EBITDA was €5.3 billion, up 0.6% on a gross basis and 2.2% on an organic basis.
Reported EBITDA increase includes a positive foreign exchange effect, mainly due to the appreciation of the US dollar, partly offset by the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the euro, and to an aggregate negative scope effect. This negative scope effect stems mainly from the sale of Glow, partly offset by various acquisitions predominantly in Client Solutions and Networks.
Organic EBITDA increase was mainly driven by GEM's good performance in market activities (notably with strong positive impact from contract renegotiations and significant positive timing effects), by strong results in Latin America (related to the wide ranging momentum for revenues and including positive one-offs in Chile in 2019) and Nuclear activities (benefitting from +3€/MWh better achieved prices and +590bps higher availability rates in Belgium). This increase was partly offset by headwinds in French gas Networks activities (lower volumes in transmission caused by the end of subscriptions on North-South transit after the merger of the market zones and lower contribution of storage activities due technical issues in France during the withdrawal period), lower hydroelectric power generation in France, lower margins in French Supply activities and by the suspension of capacity remuneration mechanism in the United Kingdom since October 1, 2018.
Current operating income including share of net income of entities accounted for using the equity method (COI) amounted to €3.2 billion, up 3.1% on a reported basis and 5.6% on an organic basis.
These gross and organic variations are in line with EBITDA growth, benefitting in addition from the positive one-offs in SUEZ (mainly linked to the settlement of the Argentina court case in 2019).

(1) Year-on-year evolution excluding the 2019 positive one-off from SUEZ linked to the Argentina court case (c. €50 million). 2019 outlook excludes this positive impact.
Net recurring income, Group share relating to continued operations amounted to €1.5 billion in first half of 2019, stable year-on-year, driven by the continued improvement in current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method partly offset by higher financial costs and recurring effective tax rate.
Net income Group share amounted to €2.1 billion compared with €0.9 billion in the first half of 2018. This sharp increase was mainly driven by income from disposals (€1.6 billion, mainly resulting from the Glow transaction) despite a negative mark-to-market variation before tax (€1.5 billion). Lower impairment losses (€0.5 billion positive impact) over the period also contributed to this sharp increase.
Net financial debt stood at €26.1 billion, up €2.8 billion compared with December 31, 2018. This variation was mainly due (i) capital expenditures over the period (€5.5 billion (1) including notably the €1.5 billion expenditures for the TAG transaction in Brazil), (ii) dividends paid to ENGIE SA shareholders (€1.8 billion) and to non-controlling interests (€0.3 billion) and (iii) other elements (€0.4 billion) mainly related to foreign exchange rates, new right-of-use assets accounted for over the period and mark-to-market variation. These items were partly offset by (i) cash flow from operations (€2.7 billion) and (ii) the impacts of the portfolio rotation program (€2.7 billion, mainly related to the completion of the disposal of the stake in Glow).
Cash flow from operations amounted to €2.7 billion, down €0.8 billion. The decrease stemmed chiefly from temporary working capital requirement variations (€1.1 billion negative impact) caused by margin calls on derivatives and mark-tomarket variation of financial derivatives, partly offset by the increase of operating cash flow (€0.2 billion) and lower tax paid (€0.1 billion).
At the end of June 2019, net financial debt to EBITDA ratio amounted to 2.7x. Excluding the TAG acquisition which does not yet materially contribute to the EBITDA, this ratio amounted to 2.5x, slightly increasing compared with the end of 2018 and on the target of less than or equal to 2.5x. The average cost of gross debt was 2.89%, up 21bps compared with the end of 2018, due to new borrowings in Brazil.
At the end of June 2019, net economic debt (2) to EBITDA ratio stood at 4.0x. Excluding the TAG acquisition, this ratio stood at 3.8x, slightly increasing compared with the end of 2018.
(1) Net of DBSO sell-downs.
(2) Net economic debt amounted to EUR 38.9 billion at the end of June 2019 (compared with €35.7 billion at the end of December 2018); it includes, in particular, nuclear provisions and post-employment benefits.
ENGIE confirms its financial anticipations for 2019 (1) :
(1) These targets and this indication assume average weather conditions in France, full pass through of supply costs in French regulated gas tariffs, no significant accounting changes except for IFRS 16, no major regulatory and macro-economic changes, commodity price assumptions based on market conditions as of December 31, 2018 for the non-hedged part of the production, average foreign exchange rates as follows for 2019: EUR/USD: 1.16; EUR/BRL: 4.42, and without significant impacts from disposals not announced as of February 28, 2019.
(2) As a reminder the ENGIE Group gave during its February 28, 2019 Capital Market day a financial guidance on Net Recurring Income (Group share) of a 7-9% CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) over the 2018-2021 period.

Revenues for the France excluding Infrastructures segment amounted to €8,199 million, up 4.9% on a reported basis and 4.3% on an organic basis. Organic revenue growth can be explained by higher sales in the BtoC power segment and B2B services businesses (Cofely and Axima), partly offset by lower sales in France Renewables mainly due to hydroelectric power generation. The acquisitions in B2B services also contributed significantly to growth on a reported basis.
Gas sales volumes in the BtoC segment declined by 3.4 TWh year-on-year, of which 0.7 TWh related to a negative temperature effect, as a result of the end of gas regulated tariffs and market competition. The BtoC power portfolio recorded a significant increase of 1 TWh, whereas volumes produced by hydroelectric power generation dropped by 2.8 TWh.
Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method was €488 million, down 11.8% on a reported basis and 13.0% on an organic basis. This drop is mainly due to the BtoC segment with a loss of customers in the regulated gas segment, the adverse effect of the regulated tariff freeze decided by the government for the first half of 2019 and an unfavorable temperature impact versus 2018, these effects being partly offset by growth in the power portfolio First-half 2019 results also suffered from the impact of lower hydroelectric power generation (exceptional positive hydrology conditions in the first half of 2018 versus low hydraulicity in 2019).

Revenues for the France Infrastructures segment amounted to €3,045 million, down 0.3% compared to first-half 2018. This decrease mainly stems from the storage business with a sharp reduction in buy/sale operations in France following the implementation of the new regulations in 2018, as in the United Kingdom. It was partially offset by the terminalling activity, the change in which reflects the outsourcing of LNG activities as well as by the distribution activity, which benefited from the tariff increase of July 1, 2018 (+2.01%).
Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method for the period was €1,128 million, down 9.1% on a reported basis. This decrease is mainly due to the transmission activity, which was impacted in France by the effects of the merger of the zones (end of subscriptions on North/South transit) and by increased amortization due to CODs which have so far only been partially offset by the tariff increase of April 1, 2019 and in Germany by a negative price adjustment as part of the restoration of past performance. These negative impacts were partly offset by the tariff increase in France. To a lesser extent, the storage activity was penalized by customer penalties in France due to a temporarily deteriorated operating performance and negative price effects in Germany. COI was also penalized by the increase in depreciation and amortization resulting from the commissioning of new assets.

Revenues for the Rest of Europe segment amounted to €9,611 million, up 9.2% on an organic basis. This increase was mainly driven by Thermal activities, Supply in Benelux and Client Solutions.
Thermal activities benefited from higher volumes sold, partly offset by the suspension of the capacity remuneration mechanism in the United Kingdom since October 1, 2018, which had a negative effect on 2019 revenues.
Supply activities were favorably impacted by positive price effects in Belgium, the Netherlands and Romania partly offset by divestments in the German Retail BtoB portfolio in 2018.
The increase in Client Solutions mainly arose from Belgium's installation and energy efficiency segment and from Germany as a result of the OTTO acquisition (January 2019) in installation activities.
Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method came in at €279 million, up 9.4% on an organic basis. This increase was mainly driven by Nuclear activities and slight growth in Client Solutions, partially offset by lower contributions in the other activities (Thermal, Renewables, Supply, Networks) compared to 2018.
Nuclear activities benefited from better achieved prices, higher availability rates in Belgium as well as from a lower depreciation charge following partial asset impairment in 2018.
The growth in Client Solutions mainly arose from the good performances of the asset-based activities in BU Generation Europe (Italy and Germany); these results were driven by the development of public lighting and the District Heating & Cooling (DHC) sites as well as by a favorable market environment for Belgium.
However, in addition to the suspension of capacity market revenues in the United Kingdom, the change in COI in Thermal activities was negatively impacted by positive 2018 one-offs in the Netherlands. Supply activities decreased in Benelux and Romania and Renewable activities decreased in Benelux.

Revenues for the Latin America segment totaled €2,601 million, up 19.7% on a reported basis and 16.1% organically. Reported growth reflects the positive impact of a Client Solutions entity acquired at the end of 2018 in Chile (CAM) partially offset by a negative net foreign exchange effect, the strong depreciation of the Brazilian real (-5%) and Argentinian peso (-46%) in turn partially offset by the appreciation of the US dollar (+7%). In Mexico and Argentina, revenues benefited from tariff increases in gas distribution activities. In Chile, business was positively impacted by the ramp-up of new PPAs with distribution companies. In Brazil, organic growth was mainly driven by higher hydro sales in the spot market and the commissioning of new wind and solar farms.
Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method totaled €818 million, up 11.9% on an organic basis, mainly due to the favorable impact of delay liquidated damages received in Chile in 2019, and the positive organic impacts mentioned above for revenues. These impacts were partially offset by a positive one-off recorded in 2018 in Mexico.

Revenues for the USA & Canada segment amounted to €2,147 million, up 39.5% on a reported basis. In addition to positive foreign exchange effects, revenues benefited from scope-in effects relating to recent acquisitions in Client Solutions and Retail BtoB (Plymouth Rock +€140 million) in the United States. The 9.4% organic increase mainly derived from the positive price effects on BtoB power sales in the United States with no effect at the level of COI.
Power sales increased by 0,8 TWh reaching 19 TWh year to date.
Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method came in at €30 million, a 52.6% organic decrease compared to first-half 2018. The main drivers were the lower contribution from (i) Thermal activities due to higher costs for LNG sourcing in Puerto Rico and lower spreads in North East USA in first-half
2019, (ii) temporary lower profitability on Retail BtoB activities due to higher costs for energy sourcing and, finally (iii) Client Solutions due to one-offs and contract losses booked in 2019, which negatively impacted performance. These effects were partly offset by the ramp up of Renewables thanks to the onshore wind platform and higher margins on LNG activities following the disposal of the Everett terminal and contract renegotiations that occurred in the second half of 2018.

Revenues for the Middle East, Asia & Africa segment totaled €1,532 million, down 19.1% on a reported basis and 2.4% organically. The reported decrease was mainly due to the disposal of Glow (Thailand) in March 2019, this impact being partly offset by the positive contribution of several acquisitions in Client Solutions activities in Africa, Middle East and Asia and positive foreign exchange effects. Organic growth was slightly impacted by lower sales volumes in Supply activities in Australia as well as by lower revenues in the Client Solutions activities in Africa and Australia.
Electricity sales decreased by 2.5 TWh to 35.2 TWh, with reduced volumes mostly due to the sale of Glow and Loy Yang B.
Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method totaled €376 million, down 18.5% on a reported basis but up 3.3% organically. The reported decrease is due to the negative impact of the disposal of Glow and Loy Yang B, partly offset by positive foreign exchange effects. The organic increase notably reflects the higher margin achieved in thermal generation in Australia and the benefits of the delay liquidated damages in Renewables activities in Australia.

The Others reportable segment includes the (i) GEM BU, (ii) Tractebel BU, (iii) GTT BU, (iv) Entreprises & Collectivités (E&C), as well as the holdings and corporate activities which include the entities dedicated to the centralized financing of the Group or the contribution of SUEZ (associate).
Revenues for the Others reportable segment amounted to €5,842 million. The 19.0% reported increase compared to first-half 2018 was €933 million, mainly driven by GEM and E&C due to a favorable market context.
Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method amounted to €47 million, representing a €282 million reported increase compared to first-half 2018. This increase was mainly due to GEM's outperformance on market activities notably with strong positive impacts on the renegotiation of gas contracts and significant positive timing effects at the end of June, as well as to positive one-offs at SUEZ. COI also benefited from the Certinergy acquisition in February 2019. These favorable impacts were partly offset by a decline in margins for Tractebel Engineering and a reduction in GTT contributions in connection with the historical backlog trends.

Income from operating activities amounted to €3,397 million in first-half 2019, representing an increase compared with first-half 2018, mainly due to (i) gains on asset disposals (principally relating to the disposal of ENGIE's interest in Glow), (ii) lower impairment losses in first-half 2019, partly offset by (iii) the negative impact of fair value adjustments to commodity hedges.
Income from operating activities was also affected by:
The net financial loss amounted to €719 million in first-half 2019, compared to a net loss of €680 million in first-half 2018 (see Note 7).
The income tax expense for first-half 2019, amounted to €221 million (€655 million expense for first-half 2018). It includes a non-recurring income tax benefit of €408 million arising from non-recurring operating and financial income/(loss) (versus an €82 million income tax expense in first-half 2018), mainly arising from the negative impact of changes in the fair value of commodity contracts other than trading instruments. Furthermore capital gains relating to the disposal of ENGIE's interest in Glow and impairment losses recognized in 2019 and 2018 were globally tax-exempt. Adjusted for these nonrecurring items, the recurring effective tax rate was 27.6% for first-half 2019 compared with 25.3% for first-half 2018.
Net income relating to continued operations attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to €373 million, compared with €262 million in first-half 2018. This change results principally from a decrease in impairment losses recognized in first-half 2019 compared to first-half 2018.
4 CHANGES IN NET FINANCIAL DEBT
Net financial debt stood at €26.1 billion, up €2.8 billion compared with December 31, 2018. This increase was mainly due to (i) capital expenditure over the period (€5.5 billion (1) , including notably €1.5 billion for the TAG transaction in Brazil), (ii) dividends paid to ENGIE SA shareholders (€1.8 billion) and to non-controlling interests (€0.3 billion) and (iii) other items (€0.4 billion), mainly related to foreign exchange rates, new right-of-use assets accounted for over the period and markto-market changes. These items were partly offset by (i) cash flow from operations (€2.7 billion) and (ii) the impacts of the portfolio rotation program (€2.7 billion, mainly related to the completion of the disposal of the stake in Glow).
Changes in net financial debt break down as follows:

Cash flow from operations (CFFO) amounted to €2.7 billion, down €0.8 billion. The decrease stemmed chiefly from temporary changes in working capital requirement (€1.1 billion negative impact) caused by margin calls on derivatives and mark-to-market of financial derivatives, partly offset by the increase in operating cash flow (€0.2 billion) and lower tax paid (€0.1 billion).
Capital expenditure (CAPEX) amounted to €5,536 million, breaking down as follows by segment:

Net investments amounted to €3,072 million and include:
• growth capital expenditure for €4,251 million. This mainly stemmed from (i) the acquisition in Infrastructures, in consortium with the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ), of a 90% stake in Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (TAG) in Brazil (€1,544 million) and in Client Solutions of the OTTO Luft-und Klimatechnik GmbH & Co facilities and services company in Germany (€149 million), (ii) the development in Infrastructures of blending and development projects in the natural gas distribution and transportation network in France (€323 million), (iii) investments in Renewables relating to the development of wind and photovoltaic farms in the United States (€396 million), Brazil (€246 million), Mexico (€212 million) and India (€116 million);
Dividends and movements in treasury stock during the period amounted to €2,196 million and included:
Excluding amortized cost but including the impact of foreign currency derivatives, at June 30, 2019 a total of 74% of net financial debt was denominated in euros and 13% in US dollars.
Including the impact of financial instruments, 73% of net financial debt was at fixed rates.
The average maturity of the Group's net financial debt was 10.3 years.
At June 30, 2019, the Group had total undrawn confirmed credit lines of €13.2 billion.

The net carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was €58.2 billion, up €0.5 billion compared with December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of acquisitions and development capital expenditure during the period (€3.2 billion positive impact), translation adjustments (€0.1 billion positive impact), partly offset by depreciation and amortization charges (€2.2 billion negative impact), the classification of coal-fired power plants in Germany and the Netherlands under "Assets classified as held for sale" (€0.3 billion negative impact), disposals (€0.1 billion negative impact) and impairment losses (€0.1 billion negative impact).
Goodwill increased by €0.4 billion to €18.2 billion, mainly due to acquisitions made by the North America, France Renewables, GEM and Others business units, partially offset by impairment losses charged against the total goodwill allocated to "Assets held for sale" relating to the ongoing sale of several coal-fired power plants in Germany and the Netherlands (see Note 2.2).
Total equity amounted to €39.4 billion, a decrease of €1.5 billion compared with December 31, 2018. The decrease stemmed mainly from the payment of the cash dividend (€2.1 billion negative impact, including €1.8 billion of dividends paid by ENGIE SA to its shareholders and €0.3 billion paid to non-controlling interests), other items of comprehensive income (€1.4 billion negative impact) and the effect of the deconsolidation of Glow following its disposal (€0.5 billion negative impact), partly offset by net income for the period (€2.5 billion positive impact).
Provisions increased by €1.2 billion to €22.7 billion compared with December 31, 2018. This increase stemmed mainly from the actuarial losses on provisions for post-employment benefits (adding €1.1 billion to the provision amount) owing to the fall in discount rates over the period (see Note 12).
At June 30, 2019, assets and liabilities classified under "Assets classified as held for sale" and "Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale" corresponded to some of Langa's solar farms in France, renewable energy assets in Mexico and coal-fired power plants in Germany and the Netherlands and at December 31, 2018 to Glow activities in Thailand, some of Langa's solar farms in France and renewable energy assets in Mexico (see Note 2.2).
The items previously published in respect of 2018 and aforementioned have been adjusted to make them comparable to the 2019 figures, to which IFRS 16 - Leases (see Note 1 "Accounting standards and methods") has been applied.

(2) For clarity's sake, it has been decided to present deeply-subordinated perpetual notes for their nominal value instead of their net value (premiums and coupons deducted). This reclassification has no impact on equity. Transactions for the period are presented in Note 8.5 "Deeply-subordinated perpetual notes" to the 2018 interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(3) On May 18, 2018, the Shareholders' Meeting resolved that a €0.70 dividend per share would be paid for 2017. In accordance with Article 26.2 of the bylaws, a 10% bonus loyalty dividend of €0.07 per share, was awarded to shares registered (whether in a direct or an administered account) for at least two years at December 31, 2017 and that remained registered in the name of the same shareholder until the payment date of the dividend. The loyalty dividend will be capped at 0.5% of the share capital for each eligible shareholder.
An interim dividend of €0.35 per share was paid in cash on October 13, 2017 (total of €836 million) and on May 24, 2018, the Group settled in cash (total of €847 million) the balance of €0.35 per share for shares with rights to ordinary dividends, as well as the balance of €0.42 per share for shares eligible for the loyalty bonus.

ENGIE SA, the parent company of the Group, is a French société anonyme with a Board of Directors and is subject to the provisions of Book II of the French Commercial Code (Code de Commerce), as well as to all other provisions of French law applicable to French commercial companies. It was incorporated on November 20, 2004 for a period of 99 years. It is governed by current and future laws and regulations applicable to sociétés anonymes and by its bylaws.
The Group is headquartered at 1, place Samuel de Champlain, 92400 Courbevoie (France).
ENGIE shares are listed on the Paris, Brussels and Luxembourg Stock Exchanges.
On July 29, 2019, the Group's Board of Directors approved and authorized for issue the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
In accordance with the European Regulation on international accounting standards dated July 19, 2002, the Group's annual consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (1) . The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, which allows entities to present selected explanatory notes. These do not therefore incorporate all of the notes and disclosures required by IFRS for the annual consolidated financial statements, and accordingly must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, subject to specific provisions relating to the preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements as described hereafter (see 1.3).
The accounting principles used to prepare the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, apart from the following developments in IFRS presented in 1.1.1.
In January 2016, the IASB issued a new standard on leases. IFRS 16 - Leases replaces IAS 17 - Leases along with its interpretations (IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC 15 - Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC 27 - Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease).
Under the new standard, on the lessee side, all lease commitments, for which no exemption applies due to the contract's short term and/or the low value of the assets leased, will be recognized on the balance sheet, without distinguishing operating leases from finance leases. Previously, only the latter were recognized in the balance sheet of the lessee. As a result, an amount representing the right-of-use assets during the lease period is recognized as an asset and a debt corresponding to the present value of fixed lease payments as a liability, in the balance sheet. In the income statement, rental expenses previously recognized for operating leases are partially replaced by depreciation of the right-of-use asset and by financial expenses related to the interest on the lease liability. The presentation of the cash flow statement is also
(1) Available on the European Commission's website:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32002R1606&from=EN
impacted with an improvement in cash flows from operating activities against an increase in cash flows from financing activities.
On the lessor's side, the accounting principles are substantially unchanged compared to IAS 17. Lessors will continue to classify leases either as operating or finance leases using similar principles as in IAS 17. IFRS 16 does not as such have an impact for leases where the Group is the lessor.
The Group adopted IFRS 16 - Leases from January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. Under this method, comparative information is not restated and the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in equity as an adjustment to opening balance of retained earnings for the current period.
On applying IFRS 16 for the first time, on January 1, 2019, the Group chose to use the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
On the other hand, the Group decided not to exclude leases for which the residual lease term ends within 12 months of the transition date.
Assessment of the lease term, including whether a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised, was made on a case-by-case basis. After transition, the assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that is within the control of the lessee occurs and may affect the assessment made. In determining the enforceable period of a lease, the Group applies a broad interpretation of the term penalty and takes into consideration, not only the contractual penalties arising from termination, but also the ancillary costs that could arise in case of an early termination of the lease.
The Group uses the recognition exemptions allowed by the standard, and therefore does not recognize any right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases"), and for leases for which the underlying asset is of a low value ("low-value asset"). Payments associated with these leases are recognized on a straightline basis as expenses in profit and loss.
The Group does not apply the practical expedient allowed by the standard, which permits the application of a portfolio approach for leases with similar characteristics, nor the one which makes it possible not to separate lease and services components.
Lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. This rate was calculated based on the Group's incremental borrowing rate adjusted in accordance with IFRS 16, taking into account (i) the economic environment of the subsidiaries, and in particular their credit risk, (ii) the currency in which the contract is concluded and (iii) the remaining duration of the contract at January 1, 2019. The methodology applied to determine the incremental borrowing rate reflects the profile of the lease payments (duration method). The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 1.43%.
The impacts on transition of newly recognized assets and liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position, for leases where the Group acts as lessee, are summarized below:
| In millions of euros | Jan. 1, 2019 |
|---|---|
| Right-of-use assets presented in Property, plant and equipment | 3,045 |
| Finance leases reclassified under Right-of-use assets | (905) |
| Other current and non-current assets | (31) |
| TOTAL ASSETS | 2,110 |
| TOTAL EQUITY | (11) |
| Lease liabilities presented in Short and long term borrowings | 2,167 |
| Other current and non-current liabilities | (46) |
| TOTAL EQUITY AND LIABILITIES | 2,110 |
Newly recognized right-of-use assets mainly concern the following types of assets:
| In millions of euros | Jan. 1, 2019 |
|---|---|
| Real estate | 1,782 |
| Vehicles | 206 |
| Others | 153 |
| TOTAL | 2,141 |
In addition, for leases previously classified as finance leases, and as required by the standard, the Group did not change the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities at the date of initial application (i.e., the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities equal the lease assets and liabilities recognized under IAS 17). These commitments were reclassified as rightof-use assets for a net amount of €905 million, mainly relating to power plants in Latin America. In the consolidated income statement, the reversal of the rental expenses of leases previously considered as operating leases resulted in an increase in EBITDA, in depreciation and in financial expenses.
The difference between (i) the commitments relating to operating leases under IAS 17 for which ENGIE acts as lessee, disclosed in the Group's consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2018 (information related to operating leases – ENGIE as lessee) which amounted to €2,087 million and (ii) the liability accounted for as a lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16 at January 1, 2019 which amounts to €2,546 million corresponds to (i) leases previously classified as finance leases for €380 million and (ii) the discounting effect for €79 million.
IFRIC 23 clarifies the requirements of IAS 12 – Income Taxes. What is clarified is how income taxes are recognized and measured where there is an uncertainty regarding the treatment of an item, regarding the determination of taxable profit or loss, the tax bases of assets and liabilities, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates.
The Group has applied IFRIC 23 since January 1, 2019, without restating comparative information. This interpretation has no material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Impacts relating to the first-time application of IFRS 16 and IFRIC 23 on the statement of financial position at January 1, 2019 are presented hereunder:

The other amendments and interpretations applicable as from 2019 have no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures.
Amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement.
In its agenda decision of March 2019, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) concluded that, due to the characteristics of particular contracts entered into to buy or sell non-financial items, accounted for as derivatives under IFRS 9, and settled by either delivering or taking delivery of the non-financial items, said contracts have to be accounted for on a single line of the consolidated income statement, including their changes in fair value as well as the effects of their physical settlement.
This agenda decision applies to the Group's derivative financial instruments relating to commodities, including gas and electricity, used in economic hedging relationships but which are not qualified as such under IFRS.
The Group's current practice is to present the changes in the fair value (mark-to-market or MtM) of commodity derivatives, not qualified as either trading or hedging instruments under IFRS, below Current operating income after share in net income of entities accounted for using the equity method (COI). At physical settlement, gains and losses are reclassified in operating income together with the economically hedged item, so that the operating performance of the transactions concerned is recognized at the hedged rate.
The Group will change its accounting policy for the year ended December 31, 2019. This will have no impact on net income or on equity and will lead to presenting the changes in MtM in COI, triggering a change in the performance indicators used by management for the follow up of the operating performance.
• IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts (1) .
The impact of these standards and amendments is currently being assessed.
Developments in the economic and financial environment have prompted the Group to step up its risk oversight procedures and to include an assessment of these risks in measuring financial instruments and performing impairment tests. The Group's estimates used in business plans and the determination of discount rates used in impairment tests and for calculating provisions take into account the environment and the important market volatility.
Accounting estimates are made in a context which remains sensitive to energy market developments, therefore making it difficult to grasp medium-term economic prospects
(1) These standards and amendments have not yet been adopted by the European Union.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the value of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date, as well as revenues and expenses reported during the period.
Due to uncertainties inherent to the estimation process, the Group regularly revises its estimates in light of currently available information. Final outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The key estimates used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements relate mainly to:
Detailed information related to the use of estimates is provided in the relevant Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
As well as relying on estimates, Group management also makes judgments to define the appropriate accounting treatment for certain activities and transactions, especially when the effective IFRS standards and interpretations do not specifically deal with the related accounting issues.
In particular, the Group exercised its judgment in assessing the type of control, as well as in determining whether arrangements contain leases, the recognition of the revenue related to the distribution or transmission services invoiced to clients, the identification of performance obligations of sales contracts, the regrouping of operating segments for the presentation of reportable segments as well as the determination of "own use contracts" as defined by IFRS 9 within non-financial purchase and sales contracts (electricity, gas, etc.).
In accordance with IAS 1, the Group's current and non-current assets and liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position. In view of most of the Group's activities, it has been considered that the criterion to be retained for the breakdown into current and non-current items is the term in which assets are expected to be realized, or liabilities extinguished: current if the term is shorter than 12 months and non-current if the term exceeds 12 months.
The Group's operations are intrinsically subject to seasonal fluctuations, but key performance indicators and operating income are influenced even more by changes in climatic conditions than by seasonality. Consequently, the interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for full-year 2019.
Current and deferred income tax expense for interim periods is calculated at the level of each tax entity by applying the average estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year to the taxable income for the interim period, with the exception of significant exceptional items. Significant exceptional items, if any, are recognized using their specific applicable taxation.
Pension costs for interim periods are calculated on the basis of the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the prior year. If necessary, these valuations are adjusted to take account of curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events that have occurred during the period. Furthermore, amounts recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit plans are adjusted, if necessary, in order to reflect material changes impacting the yield on investment-grade corporate bonds in the geographic area concerned (benchmark used to determine the discount rate) and the actual return on plan assets.
NOTE 2 MAIN CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE
The Group unveiled its 2019-2021 strategy on February 28, 2019 and on the same occasion announced a €6 billion asset disposal program as part of its continued transformation.
The table below shows the impact of the main disposals and sale agreements in first-half 2019 on the Group's net debt, excluding partial disposals with respect to DBSO (1) activities:
| In millions of euros | Disposal price | Reduction in net debt |
|---|---|---|
| Disposal of ENGIE's interest in Glow - Thailand | 2,591 | 2,470 |
| Other disposals that are not material taken individually | 338 | 264 |
| TOTAL | 2,929 | 2,734 |
Additional disposals in the process of completion at June 30, 2019 are described in Note 2.2 "Assets held for sale".
On March 14, 2019, the Group completed the sale of its 69.1% interest in Glow to Global Power Synergy Public Company Ltd. (GPSC), having received official approval from Thailand's Energy Regulatory Commission on March 8, 2019. This transaction followed an initial agreement entered into by ENGIE and GSPC in June 2018.
The combined effects of the transaction and of the cash generated by these activities since January 1, 2019 have reduced the Group's net debt by €2,470 million. The disposal gain before tax amounted to €1,580 million at June 30, 2019.
Total "Assets classified as held for sale" and total "Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale" amounted to €1,168 million and €737 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019.
| In millions of euros | June 30, 2019 | Dec. 31, 2018 (1) |
|---|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment, net | 879 | 2,661 |
| Other assets | 289 | 1,137 |
| TOTAL ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE | 1,168 | 3,798 |
| Borrowings and debt | 330 | 1,019 |
| Other liabilities | 406 | 1,111 |
| TOTAL LIABILITIES DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE | 737 | 2,130 |
(1) Reported data at December 31, 2018, not restated for the first-time application of IFRS 16 and IFRIC 23 (see Note 1 "Accounting standards and methods").
The assets related to Glow (Thailand), recorded in "Assets classified as held for sale" at December 31, 2018, were sold in first-half 2019 (see Note 2.1 "Disposals carried out in first-half 2019").
Other assets classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018 included the solar parks operated by Langa in France (see Note 2.2.1) and renewable energy assets in Mexico, which are still in the process of disposal. At June 30, 2019, assets classified as held for sale also included the coal-fired power plants in the Netherlands and Germany (see Note 2.2.2).
(1) Develop, Build, Share and Operate, a model used in renewable energies based on continuous rotation of capital employed, for which the impacts of disposals are recorded in current operating income.
NOTE 2 MAIN CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE
On December 21, 2018, the Group signed a sale agreement with Predica for solar parks operated or under construction by Langa (France excluding Infrastructures operating segment) to FEIH2, a joint venture 80%-owned by Predica and 20% owned by the ENGIE Group.
The transaction is expected to be completed in fourth-quarter 2019.
Given the expected capital gain from the sale, no value adjustment has been recorded.
On April 26, 2019, the Group signed an agreement with Riverstone Holdings LLC, an international investment fund specializing in energy, for the sale of the coal-fired power plants of Farge, Zolling and Wilhelmshaven in Germany and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, with a total installed capacity of 2,345 MW.
The sale is subject to the customary approvals, and is expected to be completed in second-half 2019.
The proposed transaction will reduce ENGIE's net debt by around €0.2 billion. Given the sale price, a negative value adjustment of €140 million, mainly corresponding to the goodwill allocated to assets held for sale, was recorded in the financial statements at June 30, 2019 under the line item "Impairment losses" within "Income from operating activities".
In early April 2019, a consortium comprising ENGIE (32.5%), ENGIE Brasil Energia (32.5%) and Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) (35%), won the bid from Petrobras for the acquisition of a 90% interest in Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (TAG), with a final and binding offer of USD 8.6 billion.
ENGIE thus directly and indirectly holds a 58.5% interest in TAG, representing a net interest of 49.3% for the Group. The other TAG shareholders are CDPQ with 31.5% and Petrobras, which has retained a 10% stake.
The acquisition price was USD 8.6 billion, of which USD 5.3 billion was financed by debt external to the consortium and USD 2.4 billion by the shareholders.
The transaction was completed on June 13, 2019.
TAG owns the largest natural gas transportation network in Brazil, a key country in ENGIE's recently unveiled strategy, and will provide the Group with a steady contractual income stream. TAG's assets include 4,500 kilometers of gas pipelines, representing 47% of the country's gas infrastructure.
The Group has joint control over TAG since the decisions about its relevant activities, including for example preparation of the budget and medium-term plan, investments, operations and maintenance, are taken by majority vote requiring the consent of both ENGIE and CDPQ. Consequently, this interest is accounted for using the equity method. The impact on the Group's net debt was €1,544 million. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition will be finalized in the second half of the year.
Various other acquisitions were made in first-half 2019, including OTTO Luft-und Klimatechnik GmbH & Co, a German ventilation installation and services company; SUEZ's nuclear maintenance business (formerly SRA SAVAC); Vol V NOTE 2 MAIN CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE
Biomasse, which operates across the entire biomethane value chain; TIKO, a developer of smart energy management systems for the residential market; and a controlling interest in Cofely Besix Facility Management (CBFM).

In the first half of 2019, ENGIE unveiled its ambition to become the world leader in the zero carbon transition for its customers and announced measures to strengthen its organizational structure in order to accelerate the implementation of its strategy.
The Group has kept its current decentralized organizational structure based on 24 geographic Business Units (BUs) in order to remain close to its customers and foster initiative, and has strengthened this structure by creating four new Global Business Lines (GBLs): Client Solutions, Networks, Renewables and Thermal.
The role of these GBLs is to support the local teams and encourage cross-cutting performance by proposing an inter-BU strategy for their business, contributing to decisions on the allocation of resources between BUs, identifying and managing the key cross-cutting digital and excellence programs, identifying and implementing worldwide partnerships, and supporting, measuring and presenting the global performance of their business activities. These GBLs plus the Supply and Nuclear business activities form the Group's six core Business Lines (BLs).
The Group now operates on a matrix structure with the BUs forming the primary axis and the BLs the secondary axis.
In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group has redefined its reportable and operating segments following these organizational developments and the deep changes to the BU business portfolios upon completion of the 2016-2018 transformation plan.
Each BU corresponds to an "operating segment" whose operational and financial performance is regularly reviewed by the Group's Executive Committee, which remains the Group's "chief operating decision maker" within the meaning of IFRS 8. The 24 BUs have now been regrouped into seven reportable segments reflecting the geographic areas where the Group operates:

• furthermore "Others" comprises operating segments that cannot be grouped together (Global Energy Management, Tractebel, GTT, Hydrogen, and E&C) due to the specificity of their businesses and markets or due to their particular risk profile, as well as the Group's holding and corporate activities.
In order to determine how to group together the operating segments, as set out above, the Group exercised its judgment to decide whether two or more operating segments could be grouped together in the same reportable segment. The following key factors were examined to assess the similarity of the operating segments' economic characteristics:
The Group decided to organize the operating segments within the reportable segments for the following reasons:
and energy services activities), (ii) Generation Europe, which comprises the Group's thermal electricity generation activities in Europe, (iii) United Kingdom (management of renewable energy generation assets and the portfolio of distribution assets, supply of energy services and solutions, etc.) and (iv) North, South and Eastern Europe (sales of natural gas and electricity and related energy services and solutions, operation of renewable energy generation assets, management of distribution networks).
The main commercial relationships between the reportable segments are as follows:
Due to the variety of its businesses and their geographical location, the Group serves a very diverse range of situations and customer types (industry, local authorities and individual customers). Accordingly, no external customer represents individually 10% or more of the Group's consolidated revenues.
In accordance with IFRS 8, comparative segment information at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018 has been restated in order to present this information in accordance with the new segment structure introduced by the Group on January 1, 2019.
However, it has not been restated for the first-time application of IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019 (see Note 1 "Accounting standards and methods"), in accordance with the available transition options.

(1) Published data at June 30, 2018, not restated due to the application of IFRS 16 (see Note 1 "Accounting standards and methods").
In the first half of 2019, this item represented a net expense of €989 million, compared with net income of €520 million in the first half of 2018. It mainly reflects changes in the fair value of (i) electricity and natural gas sale and purchase contracts falling within the scope of IFRS 9, and (ii) financial instruments used as economic hedges but not eligible for hedge accounting.
This expense is due to (i) a negative price effect related to changes in the forward prices of the underlying commodities, notably in gas, partially offset by (ii) the positive impact of the settlement of positions over the period with a negative fair value at December 31, 2018.

In addition to the annual impairment tests on goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets carried out in the second half of the year, the Group also tests goodwill, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in entities accounted for using the equity method and financial assets for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
At June 30, 2019, impairment tests were performed on a limited number of assets for which indications of impairment were identified during the first half of 2019.
NOTE 6 FROM CURRENT OPERATING INCOME AFTER SHARE IN NET INCOME OF ENTITIES ACCOUNTED FOR USING THE EQUITY METHOD TO INCOME/(LOSS) FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
At June 30, 2019, the Group considered that, in view of the changes in market inputs and key assumptions since December 31, 2018, it was not necessary to carry out a full update of the impairment tests performed on the goodwill CGUs in 2018 and that the carrying amounts of these CGUs were not greater than their recoverable amount.
The annual impairment tests on the goodwill CGUs for 2019 will be carried out in the second half of the year.
Net impairment losses recognized in first-half 2019 amounted to €242 million, primarily relating to:
Net impairment losses recognized in first-half 2018 amounted to €752 million, primarily relating to:
Restructuring costs totaled €77 million in first-half 2019 (€50 million in first-half 2018) and mainly included employee-related costs, costs related to site closures, and other restructuring costs.
In first-half 2019, the impact of changes in the scope of consolidation amounted to a positive €1,584 million and mainly comprised the positive impact of the sale of Glow for €1,580 million, including a €208 million loss in respect of items of other comprehensive income recycled to the income statement.
In first-half 2018, this item amounted to a negative €102 million and mainly comprised an €87 million loss on the sale of the Loy Yang B thermal power plant in Australia, primarily in respect of items of other comprehensive income recycled to the income statement.

(2) At June 30, 2018, the cost of lease liabilities corresponds to interest on finance leases previously classified in "Cost of net debt".
The increase in the cost of net debt was mainly due to the increasing weight of the debt in Brazil since June 30, 2018, partly offset by the positive effects of debt financing transactions and active interest rate management performed by the Group.

The decrease in the effective tax rate was mainly due to the tax-exempt capital gain on the disposal of Glow in 2019, the decrease in the untaxed losses recorded by Electrabel, and the disallowable impairment losses on thermal power generation assets in 2018. This effect was partially offset by the recognition of a deferred tax asset on previously unrecognized tax loss carry-forwards in Australia in 2018 and the increase in untaxed losses recorded in the Netherlands and in Germany.

The fair value of borrowings and debt (excluding lease liabilities) amounted to €37,175 million at June 30, 2019, compared with a carrying amount of €34,562 million.
In first-half 2019, changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in a €85 million increase in net debt (including a €45 million increase in relation to the Brazilian real and a €26 million increase in relation to the US dollar).
Changes in the scope of consolidation (including the cash impact of acquisitions and disposals) led to a €238 million decrease in net financial debt, mainly reflecting:
• disposals of assets over the period, which reduced net financial debt by €2,734 million, notably including the disposal of the interest in Glow (see Note 2.1 "Disposals carried out in first-half 2019");
The Group carried out the following transactions during first-half 2019:

During the first half of 2019, the Group did not make any material changes to the classification of financial instruments and did not recognize any material transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy.
On January 28, 2019, ENGIE SA carried out an early refinancing of deeply-subordinated perpetual notes, resulting in:
Furthermore, the Group paid interest in an amount of € 82million.
In accordance with the provisions of IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation, and given their characteristics, these instruments were accounted for in equity in the Group's consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 11 RISKS ARISING FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group mainly uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to market risks. Financial risk management procedures are set out in Section 2 "Risk factors and control" of the 2018 Registration Document.
Sensitivities of the commodity-related derivatives portfolio used as part of the portfolio management activities at June 30, 2019 are detailed in the table below. They are not representative of future changes in consolidated earnings and equity, insofar as they do not include the sensitivities relating to the purchase and sale contracts for the underlying commodities.

| EUR/GBP | +10% | 11 | ‐ |
(1) The sensitivities shown above apply solely to financial commodity derivatives used for hedging purposes as part of the portfolio management activities.
The sensitivity of equity to gas price changes is due to the application, since 2019, of cash flow hedge accounting to certain supply hedges within energy sales activities. The expected extension of this practice to other hedging strategies should contribute to reducing the sensitivity of pre-tax impact on income in the future.
The use of Value at Risk (VaR) to quantify market risk arising from trading activities provides a transversal measure of risk taking all markets and products into account. VaR represents the maximum potential loss on a portfolio over a specified holding period based on a given confidence interval. It is not an indication of expected results but is back-tested on a regular basis.
The Group uses a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence interval to calculate VaR, as well as stress tests, in accordance with banking regulatory requirements.
The VaR shown below corresponds to the global VaR of the Group's trading entities.

A sensitivity analysis to currency risk on financial income/(loss) – excluding the income statement translation impact of foreign subsidiaries – was performed based on all financial instruments managed by the treasury department and representing a currency risk (including derivative financial instruments).
A sensitivity analysis to currency risk on equity was performed based on all financial instruments qualified as net investment hedges at the reporting date.
For currency risk, sensitivity corresponds to a 10% rise or fall in exchange rates of foreign currencies against the euro compared to closing rates.

In the context of its operating activities, the Group is exposed to a risk of having insufficient liquidity to meet its contractual obligations. As well as the risks inherent in managing working capital requirements (WCR), margin calls are required in certain market activities.
At June 30, 2019, bank loans accounted for 16% of gross debt (excluding overdrafts, amortized cost and impact of derivatives), while the remaining debt was raised on capital markets (including €23,652 million in bonds, or 71% of gross debt).
Outstanding negotiable commercial paper issues represented 13% of gross debt, or €4,344 million at June 30, 2019.
Available cash, comprising cash and cash equivalents and liquid debt instruments dedicated to cash investments, totaled €9,347 million at June 30, 2019.
Confirmed credit facilities had been granted for a total of €13,176 million at June 30, 2019, of which €13,158 million was available. 96% of available credit facilities are centralized.

(1) Published data at December 31, 2018, not restated due to the application of IFRS 16 and IFRIC 23 (see Note 1 "Accounting standards and methods").
(2) Of which €5,429 million in provisions for dismantling nuclear facilities, compared to €5,337 million at December 31, 2018.
The impact of unwinding discount adjustments in respect of post-employment and other long-term benefits relates to the interest expense on the benefit obligation, net of the interest income on plan assets.
The "Other" line item mainly comprises actuarial gains and losses arising on post-employment benefit obligations in 2019 that are recorded in "Other comprehensive income" as well as provisions recorded against a dismantling or site rehabilitation asset.
The different types of provisions and the calculation principles applied are described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Pursuant to the law of April 11, 2003, the Commission for Nuclear Provisions will perform the three-yearly review of nuclear provisions, based on the report sent to it by Group subsidiary Synatom in September 2019.
At June 30, 2019, the measurement of provisions for managing nuclear fuel processing and storage and for dismantling nuclear facilities was based on an industrial scenario and all the technical assumptions approved by the Commission for Nuclear Provisions (CPN) on December 12, 2016. The effects of new technical, financial and timing assumptions used in preparing the report are still being examined by the Group, and include in particular:
While waiting for Synatom to finalize the technical and financial report and send it to the Commission for Nuclear Provisions for approval, the Group considers that the available information is not likely to change the amount of provisions for the
management of the back-end of the nuclear fuel cycle and for the decommissioning of nuclear production facilities, which continue to be measured in line with the assumptions set forth in Note 20.2 "Nuclear power generation activities" to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Nuclear provisions are sensitive to assumptions regarding costs, timing of operations and expenditure, as well as to discount rates. Accordingly, any change in these factors could lead to a significant change in the provisions recorded.
The sensitivity of provisions to the different assumptions is presented in Note 20.2 "Nuclear power generation activities" to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Sensitivity is calculated on a purely financial basis, is not strictly linear and should therefore be interpreted with appropriate caution in view of the variety of other inputs – some of which may be interdependent – included in the evaluation.
The discount rate applied to measure pension and other employee benefits is determined based on the yield, at the measurement date, on investment grade corporate bonds with maturities mirroring the term of the plan. The rates are determined for each monetary area (Eurozone and United Kingdom) based on data for AA corporate bond yields (Bloomberg and iBoxx), extrapolated on the basis of government bond yields for long maturities.
The benchmark rates at June 30, 2019, were down significantly by around 65 basis points compared with December 31, 2018. The reduction in these discount rates, combined with the other changes in market conditions, resulted in a €1.2 billion increase in provisions for post-employment and other long-term benefits at June 30, 2019.
NOTE 13 LEGAL AND ANTI-TRUST PROCEEDINGS
The Group is party to a number of legal and anti-trust proceedings with third parties or with legal and/or administrative authorities (including tax authorities) in the normal course of its business.
Legal and anti-trust proceedings are described in Note 28 to the 2018 consolidated financial statements. The developments in disputes and investigations during the first half of 2019 are presented below.
In 2003, ENGIE and its joint shareholders, water distribution concession operators in Buenos Aires and Santa Fe, initiated two arbitration proceedings against the Argentinean State before the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The purpose of these proceedings was to obtain compensation for the loss in value of investments made since the start of the concession, in accordance with bilateral investment protection treaties.
As a reminder, prior to the stock market listing of SUEZ Environnement Company, ENGIE and SUEZ (formerly SUEZ Environnement) entered into an agreement providing for the economic transfer to SUEZ of the rights and obligations relating to the ownership interests held by ENGIE in Aguas Argentinas and Aguas Provinciales de Santa Fe, including the rights and obligations resulting from the arbitration proceedings.
On April 9, 2015, the ICSID ordered the Argentinean State to pay USD 405 million in respect of the termination of the Buenos Aires water distribution and treatment concession contracts (including USD 367 million to ENGIE and its subsidiaries), and on December 4, 2015, to pay USD 225 million in respect of the termination of the Santa Fe concession contracts.
The Argentinean government and the various shareholders of Aguas Argentinas entered into and implemented a settlement agreement in accordance with the arbitral award of April 9, 2015, handed down in respect of the water distribution and treatment concession contracts in Buenos Aires. In accordance with the above-mentioned agreement concerning the economic transfer to SUEZ of ENGIE's rights and obligations, SUEZ and its subsidiaries recognized pre-tax income of €215 million (or approximately €50 million as ENGIE's share of net income from entities accounted for using the equity method). Furthermore, the December 14, 2018 ruling pertaining to the water distribution and wastewater treatment concessions granted to Aguas Provinciales de Santa Fe has yet to be applied.
In their tax deficiency notice dated December 22, 2008, the French tax authorities questioned the tax treatment of the non-recourse sale by SUEZ (now ENGIE) of a withholding tax (précompte) receivable in 2005 for an amount of €995 million (receivable relating to the précompte paid in respect of the 1999-2003 fiscal years). In May 2016, the French tax authorities issued an assessment notice for part of the resulting corporate income tax in an amount of €89.6 million. ENGIE paid this sum and filed an application to institute proceedings before the Montreuil Administrative Court in July 2017. The Court handed down a judgment in ENGIE's favor in April 2019, and the amounts previously paid were reimbursed. The time limit for appeal has not yet expired.
Regarding the dispute over the précompte itself, on February 1, 2016, the Conseil d'État dismissed the appeal before the Court of Cassation seeking the repayment of the précompte in respect of the 1999, 2000 and 2001 fiscal years, and the cases seeking the repayment of the précompte in respect of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 fiscal years are still pending before the courts of appeal.
Furthermore, after ENGIE and several French groups lodged a complaint, on April 28, 2016, the European Commission issued a reasoned opinion to the French State as part of infringement proceedings, setting out its view that the Conseil d'État did not comply with European Union law when handing down decisions in disputes regarding the précompte, such as those involving ENGIE. On July 10, 2017, the European Commission referred the matter to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on the grounds of France's failure to comply. On October 4, 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled partially in favor of the European Commission. Following this decision, France must revisit its methodology in order to determine the précompte repayment amounts in closed and pending court cases.
In the dispute between GRDF and various gas suppliers, in a decision dated June 2, 2016, overturning a decision handed down in September 2014 by the Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission de la Régulation de l'Énergie – CRE)'s Standing Committee for Disputes and Sanctions (Comité de règlement des différends et des sanctions – CoRDiS), the Paris Court of Appeal ruled that the transmission services delivered to suppliers should be, and should have been since the market was opened up, delivered to end customers. Prior to these rulings, only distributors provided delivery services to end customers in exchange for payment from the suppliers for customer management services, as there was only one contract.
Because the supplier now also provides customer management services associated with natural gas transmission on the distributors' behalf, the supplier has become the intermediary between the distributor and the end customer for delivery and transmission services. The contractual relations have therefore been completely reorganized, and as a result (i) the risk of unpaid compensation for the "transmission" part of the agreement with the end customer would henceforth be borne by the grid manager and not the gas supplier; (ii) the compensation for customer management services related to transmission and distribution services provided by the supplier on behalf of the grid manager should be fair and commensurate with the grid manager's cost savings. The Paris Court of Appeal ordered GRDF to bring its transmission agreements into compliance with these principles and ordered the CoRDiS to evaluate the amount of the customer management services. GRDF appealed the decision handed down by the Court of Appeal before the Court of Cassation.
In March 2018, the Court of Cassation referred the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), asking it to rule as to whether the CoRDiS could apply these rulings retroactively under European law. The CJEU's attorney general submitted his conclusions in May 2019. GRDF awaits the CJEU ruling, which could be handed down in the third quarter of 2019. There could also be a ruling from the Court of Cassation before the end of 2019, following the CJEU ruling.
In June 2018 the CoRDiS, which has been tasked by the Court of Appeal to evaluate the amount of the customer management services, instructed GRDF to propose to Direct Energie and ENI a new addendum providing for compensation based on the pricing terms established by the CRE in its decisions of October 2017 and January 2018. Both GRDF on the one hand and Direct Energie and ENI on the other have appealed the ruling before the Paris Court of Appeal. GRDF disputes the compensation paid in the past, and in particular asserts that the supplier has already passed on the corresponding amounts to the end customers. A decision may be handed down during the second half of 2019.
Because in 2016 the Paris Court of Appeal considered that ENI had not requested retrospective compensation (its requests prior to 2016 referred only to the future), ENI lodged a claim with the CoRDiS in March 2017 seeking retroactive compensation (€87.8 million for the period from 2008 to 2016) for customer management services. The CoRDiS handed down its decision in July 2019 dismissing ENI's request. ENI has one month in which to appeal this decision before the Paris Court of Appeal.
In May 2017, Direct Energie also lodged a claim with the Paris Commercial Court for abuse of a dominant position and material inequality in the contractual obligations provided for in the transmission agreements, initially seeking €89.5 million euros in damages for the period from 2009 to 2016. This claim has since been raised to €140 million. This is a claim for indemnification, unlike the claims before the CoRDiS, which are seeking compensation for customer management services in respect of distribution services.
The Paris Commercial Court handed down a decision in January 2019, ordering GRDF to pay Direct Energie €17 million.
NOTE 13 LEGAL AND ANTI-TRUST PROCEEDINGS
GRDF and Direct Energie have appealed this decision and filed their preliminary submissions in June 2019.
Regarding the customer management services carried out on behalf of the grid manager in the electricity sector (in this case ERDF, now ENEDIS), following proceedings brought by ENGIE, in a decision of July 13, 2016, the Conseil d'État also ruled that the same principle whereby the grid manager pays compensation to the supplier should apply. In the same decision, the Conseil d'État denied the CRE the right to set a customer threshold beyond which the compensation would not be payable, which hitherto prevented ENGIE from receiving any compensation. In light of this decision, ENGIE brought an action against ENEDIS with the purpose of obtaining payment for these customer management services. The legislature has adopted a decision that retroactively validates the agreements entered into with ENEDIS and precludes any request for compensation for unpaid customer management services. In a decision handed down on April 19, 2019, the Constitutional Court ruled that this provision was constitutional. The proceedings against ENEDIS are still underway. ENGIE had also brought action before the Conseil d'État against the CRE's decision of October 26, 2017 in respect of the compensation for customer management services in the electricity sector for the period prior to January 1, 2018, but has just withdrawn from the proceedings.
Various associations have brought actions before the Constitutional Court, the Conseil d'État and the ordinary courts against the laws and administrative decisions authorizing the extension of operations at the Doel 1 and 2 and Tihange 1 plants. The Brussels Court of Appeal dismissed Greenpeace's claims in a decision dated June 12, 2018. As for the action brought before the Constitutional Court, on June 22, 2017 the Court referred the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for a preliminary ruling. The CJEU delivered its ruling on July 29, 2019 and it is now being examined. The other actions are still pending.
On October 7, 2016, the European Commission announced its decision to open a state aid investigation against the United Kingdom with regard to Gibraltar's tax system. The decision covered Gibraltar's tax ruling practices and cited 165 tax rulings, which could constitute State aid. One of the rulings was obtained by a subsidiary of International Power Ltd in 2011 in connection with the dismantling of a facility in Gibraltar. ENGIE appealed this decision on November 25, 2016. In its final decision issued on December 19, 2018, the European Commission concluded that only five rulings constituted illegal State aid, which essentially excludes the ruling obtained by International Power Ltd. Consequently, the risk previously mentioned no longer exists.
NOTE 14 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The related party transactions described in Note 25 to the 2018 consolidated financial statements have not changed significantly at the end of June 2019.
The public service contract between the French State and ENGIE ended on December 31, 2018, and a report on its execution was sent to the Government.
NOTE 15 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
No significant subsequent events have occurred since the closing of the accounts at June 30, 2019.

05 STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-year financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-year management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your General Shareholder's Meeting 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 ENGIE's 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. Consequently, the level of assurance we obtain about whether the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, are free of material misstatements is moderate, and lower than that obtained in an audit.
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 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw your attention to the matter set out in note 1 relating to the change in accounting standards and impacts related to the first application of IFRS 16 "Leases" effective since January 1, 2019.
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly 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.
