1 - SALES FOR THE NINE MONTHS TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

1The IFRS 15 norm, applicable from 1st January 2018 leads to, at 30 September 2017, a €22 million increase in property development revenue (and therefore of the Construction) in France, a €1 million decrease in Energy Systems revenue in France and to a €8 million decrease in Concessions revenue in France. The IFRS 15 norm implies, in property development on one hand, the incorporation of the land in the measure of the progress of the revenue as soon as the signature of the

notarial deed and in concessions on the other hand in multi-year PPP contracts, the accounting of the revenue covering the heavy maintenance as they are actually performed as opposed to invoiced.

All 2017 revenues and 2018/2017 percentages of change contained in the current release take these 2017 changes into account. 2 For the order book, IFRS 15 specifies notably:

new conditions governing the recognition of contracts in the order book, leading to the restatement (in part or in whole) of certain contracts of the order book published in 2017;

the determination and disclosure of the order book for property development, corresponding to the notarial deeds, which were not taken into account in 2017;

the determination and disclosure of the order book for concessions, corresponding to operation and maintenance services (including major maintenance and repair work), which were not taken into account in 2017, over the entire term of the contract.

3 - REVIEW OF ACTIVITY1

Consolidated sales reported by Eiffage for the 3 rd quarter of 2018 reached €4.3bn, up by 13.2% compared with the 3 rd quarter of 2017 (+15.6% in Contracting and +3.8% in Concessions).

The Group's consolidated sales to 30 September 2018 thus came to almost €12bn, up by 10.7% on a reported basis and by 7.1% lfl.

Sales contributed by Contracting increased by 11.8% (+7.2% lfl) to more than €9.7bn.

Construction: sales of €2,779m (+6.2% on a reported basis and +0.4% lfl)

  • For construction, sales decreased by 4.0% to €2,076m in France, but increased by 54.8% to €703m in Europe outside France, more particularly in the Benelux countries. The contribution to the activity of Priora, the recently-acquired Swiss based construction company is €153m.
  • For property development, sales increased by 7.7%. The marketing of new housing units remained upbeat, with 3,079 reservations at the end of September 2018, compared with 3,314 at the end of September 2017 (difference due to the phasing of bloc sales between 2018 and 2017).

Infrastructures: sales of €3,970m (+17.2% on a reported basis and +13.1% lfl)

  • In France, sales increased by 12.0% to €2,503m, with very strong increases for civil engineering, due to work on the Grand Paris Express, as well as road construction (+7.7%).
  • In Europe outside France, sales increased by 9.8% to €1,106m, particularly in Germany and Spain.
  • Outside Europe, sales reached €361m, compared to €145m at 30 September 2017, in part thanks to the maritime works activities acquired from Saipem at the end of 2017 (which contributed €101m).

Energy Systems: sales of €2,979m (+10.3% on a reported basis and +6.3% lfl)

  • In France, sales increased by 3.9% to €2,132m.

  • Outside Europe, sales reached €193m, compared to €165m at 30 September 2017.

Sales contributed by Concessions increased by 6.4% (+6.8% lfl) to €2,218m.

On the Millau viaduct revenue increased by 2.8% to €41m despite a 1.2% decline in traffic (LV -1.7% and HGV +3.3%).

Revenue contributed by the Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Lille amounted to €21m, while revenue contributed by the Autoroute de l'Avenir in Senegal came to €33m.

Other concessions and public-private partnerships generated revenue of €116m (€99m at 30 September 2017).

4 – SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE PERIOD

APRR and AREA have signed a motorway investment plan covering 12 projects enabling the acceleration of the network development and modernisation, in particular in the fields of protection of the environment and customer service.

Glossary:

* Like-for-like (lfl) means at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates:

Constant consolidation scope is calculated by neutralising:

  • the 2018 contribution made by companies consolidated for the first time in 2018;
  • the 2018 contribution made by companies consolidated for the first time in 2017, for the period equivalent to that in 2017 before they were consolidated for the first time;
  • the 2017 contribution made by companies deconsolidated in 2018, for the period equivalent to that in 2018 after they were deconsolidated;
  • the 2017 contribution made by companies deconsolidated in 2017.

Constant exchange rates: this means applying 2017 exchange rates to 2018 local currency sales.

Group's sales and results for the year ending 31 December 2018 will be published on 27 February 2019 after market.
