Paris, July 1 st, 2019
Safran has decided to group together business activities with identified strategic and commercial complementarities in order to further boost the synergies to be derived from the integration of the Aerosystems and Aircraft Interiors activities purchased within the scope of the Zodiac Aerospace acquisition.
This new legal and operational organization will be accompanied by a change in presentation of segment information with effect from the publication of the 2019 interim consolidated financial statements on September 5, 2019. The Group's activities will be organized into three operating segments:
The 2019 outlook as announced at the first-quarter 2019 revenue release, and the 2018-2022 financial framework presented at the November 2018 Capital Markets Day, are not impacted by the new presentation of segment information.
The changes in operational management are designed to accelerate the implementation of the Group's development strategy, particularly as regards more electric aircraft and connected cabins. They will promote knowledge-sharing by bringing together teams working in similar areas, the development of new customer offerings and the optimization of costs.
The changes in organization reflect the synergies identified between the various activities:
With effect from the 2019 interim consolidated financial statements, segment information will be presented based on three segments: Aerospace Propulsion; Aircraft Equipment, Defense and Aerosystems; and Aircraft Interiors.
Comparative information with the former presentation of segment information in place since the takeover of Zodiac Aerospace is set out in the appendix.
The new presentation of segment information brings together comparable activities in terms of financial performance, products, services and customers within three segments:
Segment information restated in line with the new organization is provided below for the purposes of monitoring and comparing performance. As a reminder, the former Zodiac Aerospace Aerosystems and Aircraft Interiors activities were included in Safran's consolidated financial statements as from March 1, 2018.

The operational reorganization and change in presentation of segment information have no impact on Safran's revenue, operating margin and free cash flow growth ambitions for 2018-2022, which included an upward revision to the Zodiac Aerospace synergy ambition (from €200 million to €250 million in 2022).
The effect of the new organization on segment operating margins ambitions in 2022 is set out below:
