At June 30, 2016, 50% of Air France-KLM's share capital was owned by European interests – European Union Member States or States party to the European Economic Area Agreement - and 57.3% by French shareholders.
In April 2005, Société Air France issued 21,951,219 bonds convertible and/or exchangeable into new or existing Air France-KLM shares (OCEANE) with a 15-year maturity, for a total of €450 million. These bonds have a nominal unit value of €20.50 and mature on April 1, 2020, investors disposing of an early reimbursement option at par on April 1 2012 and April 1, 2016. The annual coupon was 2.75% paid annually in arrears on April 1.
Following the distribution of dividends in respect of the financial year ended March 31, 2006, an adjustment was made pursuant to the stipulations of the issue contract. The conversion/exchange ratio for holders of bonds convertible and/or exchangeable into the company's new or existing shares was thus changed to 1.03 shares for each 2.75% 2005-20 bond.
On December 6, 2011, Air France signed a swap agreement with Natixis for a period of four years. To cover this agreement, Natixis acquired 18,692,474 OCEANEs, or some 85.16% of the initial issue, enabling Air France to defer, until April 2016 at the earliest, the €383.2 million repayment. Of the OCEANEs not having been tendered to Natixis within the framework of the swap transaction, 1,501,475 were the subject of a €31.6 million early reimbursement at the request of the holders on April 1, 2012.
As of April 1, 2016, Société Air France responded to the exercise of the investor puts on 20,383,985 OCEANEs by reimbursing the holders at par.
There were 65,161 convertible bonds remaining in circulation as of June 30, 2016 and, since these outstanding bonds represented less than 10% of the initial volume, Société Air France proceeded with their buyback on July 4, 2016 pursuant to the conditions of the bonds.
In March 2013, Société Air France-KLM issued 53,398,058 bonds convertible and/or exchangeable into new or existing Air France-KLM shares (OCEANEs) for a total of €550 million. These bonds, which are convertible at any time, have a nominal unit value of €10.30, a conversion/exchange ratio of one share for one bond and mature on February 15, 2023. The annual coupon is 2.03% payable annually in arrears on February 15. Bondholders may request the early redemption of their bonds on February 15, 2019, at par plus accrued interest. At June 30, 2016, 11,151 bonds had been converted into existing shares, reducing the number of bonds remaining in circulation to 53,386,907.
In the first half of 2016, while experiencing a slight improvement, world economic growth remained weak. The growth rates for the euro zone economies are expected to converge at around +1.6% for 2016.
The United Kingdom's decision to withdraw from the European Union plunges many economic sectors, including air transportation, into uncertainty. The short-term impact of Brexit has been a Sterling depreciation but also a decline in the euro relative to other major currencies (dollar and yen notably) accompanied by a climate of uncertainty leading to a fall in investment. In the medium term, there should be a limited economic slowdown in the euro zone but a significant downturn in UK growth, with repercussions for air transportation. IATA estimates that traffic to and from the United Kingdom between now and 2020 could be some 3% to 5% below the level it would have been without Brexit, although the long-term impacts are difficult to quantify.
The theoretical consequences for air transportation of the UK withdrawal from the single European market could be significant. In particular, the UK airlines operating within Continental Europe may not retain free access to the single European market in the same conditions as currently.
In recent months, the geopolitical and economic climate has continued to weigh on air transport demand. Air transport demand has fallen in a number of major markets: in Brazil, due to the deterioration in the economy, in Japan, which has been negatively impacted by weaker consumption and the cancellation of numerous trips to Europe following the terrorist attacks, and on the oil industry-related routes.
In 2016, as in 2015, air traffic will nonetheless remain strong. According to IATA, the airlines should generate an average net profit margin of 5.1% (versus 4.6% in 2015) together with an average profit per passenger of \$9.59. The strong demand in the passenger segment (+6.7% in 2015 and +6.9% estimated in 2016) is expected to offset disappointing growth in air freight (+1.9% in 2015 versus +3% forecast for 2016).
The competitive context remains tough, however, with high capacity growth for some players. In 2016, IATA is thus forecasting a 6.5% increase in capacity for the European airlines compared with 8% for the other airlines. Long-haul industry is expected to increase by +7.2% increase between Europe and the rest of the world. The trend towards low-cost long-haul is a recent development but will see rapid development in 2016. Medium-haul capacity is witnessing higher growth than in Summer 2015, the 6.6% increase mainly being driven by the low-cost carriers (Ryanair, Vueling, etc.). The three European groups are mainly growing through their low-cost subsidiaries (Transavia, germanwings, etc.). The Group is under particular threat from strong competition in its own markets due to the attractiveness and central localization of their dual Paris-CDG and Amsterdam-Schiphol hubs (+5.1% for France and +7.2% for the Netherlands).
The oil price is again rising. In the 2016 first quarter, the Brent price averaged \$35 a barrel, its low since 2004. Having moved below \$30 in January, it has since staged a strong recovery and was trading at around \$50 in early June. Given the reduction in US production, the physical market could continue to tighten between now and the end of the year. However, the very high level of inventories should limit the upwards pressure on prices. Forecasts for a barrel of Brent stand at \$47.5 for the second half. Source Oxford Economics.
At 14h00 on January 11, 2016, the last Air France commercial flight for the B747 aircraft landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. More than 45 years after the first flight between Paris and New York operated on June 3, 1970 in the aircraft affectionately known as the "Jumbo Jet", the company waved an emotional goodbye to this aircraft with the easily recognizable silhouette.
On January 18, 2016 in Dublin, AFI KLM E&M received the "MRO of the Year" award during the "Airline Economics Aviation 100 Awards" ceremony organized by the specialized magazine Airline Economics.
For the third year running, the achievement of this award underscores AFI KLM E&M's long-term commitment to maintaining optimal standards of performance and quality over the long term, and its quest for a continuous improvement.
For the eleventh consecutive year, Air France-KLM is a component of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes (Dow Jones Sustainability World and DJSI Europe) and is ranked leader in the "Airlines" industry by RobecoSAM.
Furthermore, for the seventh year running, Air France-KLM is ranked leader of the broader "Transportation" category, covering air, rail, sea and road transport as well as airport activities.
This award positions the Group as one of the 24 most responsible companies in the world, each in their own business sectors.
On January 20, 2016, at the European Aviation Summit, the five largest European airline groups – Air France-KLM, easyJet, International Airlines Group, Lufthansa Group and Ryanair – announced the creation of the Airlines for Europe (A4E) association.
The five groups, which carry more than 50% of passengers in Europe, have chosen to join forces with the aim of influencing European aviation policy.
On this occasion, Mr. Alexandre de Juniac underlined the opportunity for the Group to defend the interests of European airlines with the national and EU authorities to enable them to effectively compete with the world's leading airlines.
Air France-KLM excelled in Fortune's World's Most Admired Companies 2016, ranking third in the "Airlines" category behind Delta Air Lines and Singapore, and ahead of major players like United Continental (4th), Lufthansa (7th) and IAG (9th). Air France-KLM is one of the few French companies to figure in this ranking.
For Air France-KLM, the economic assessors particularly noted its excellent performance in terms of "global competitiveness", the quality of its products and services and its social and environmental responsibility.
The Flight-Report.com website has delivered its verdict: Transavia is the best European low-cost airline in 2016.
Contributors to the Flight-Report website post daily reviews, photos and notes which are used to establish this ranking.
Transavia is appreciated by customers for:
This is a real success story for the airline which is seeking to stand out based on the quality of its customer experience.
On April 5, 2016, Mr. Alexandre de Juniac, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, informed the Air France-KLM Group's Board of Directors of the proposal he had received from the Board of Governors of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to become the next Director General and CEO of this global organization. On April 9, 2016, Mr. Alexandre de Juniac indicated that he would accept the proposal.
On April 26, 2016, the company's fleet took delivery of its seventieth B777. Air France is increasing its fleet by welcoming the new B777-300, thereby reinforcing its capacity thanks to 43 B777-300s, 25 B777-200s and two B777F Cargo aircraft. This seventieth aircraft will be operated on the airline's long-haul network. With a fleet of 96 B777s, the Air France-KLM Group is the world's number two operator of this aircraft type.
Self-boarding, which is a key element in the self-service and digitized chain that Air France aims to establish as standard at most of its outstations, is being rolled out at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. The deployment at all the gates began on April 8 and will continue until December 2016. A total of 70 gates will be equipped, at a rate of four gates every fortnight.
By ensuring more seamless, faster boarding, self-boarding contributes to operating performance and punctuality. It also enhances the company's reputation for innovation and efficiency. This system releases staff from repetitive tasks with low added value and enables them to focus on welcoming and assisting customers, whether or not they require special support (persons with restricted mobility, famillies with babies). Self-boarding is thus a key factor in attentive customer relationships.
At Paris-CDG, self-boarding means:
The Air France KLM Board of Directors met on May, 1, 2016. Following the unanimous recommendation of the Appointments and Governance Committee, the Board decided that Mr. Jean-Marc Janaillac would become the Air France-KLM Group's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer when Mr. Alexandre de Juniac stepped down on July 4, 2016.
Since 2012, Mr. Jean-Marc Janaillac had been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Transdev, an international transportation group jointly owned by Veolia and the French Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations. He had previously served as Chairman and CEO of RATP Dev from 2010 to 2012 and Managing Director, Group Development for RATP from 2004 to 2010. He was Chairman and CEO of the Maeva tourism group from 2000 to 2002 and Chief Operating Officer of the AOM airline from 1997 to 2000. Mr. Janaillac also served as an Air France Board director from 1989 to 1994. He is a graduate of the HEC Business School and of the Ecole Nationale d'Administration.
The Air France-KLM Board of Directors considered that Mr. Janaillac's international experience, his knowledge of the transportation business in both France and the Netherlands, his successful development of the companies he has headed, his knowledge of the airline industry and its customers and his capacity for dialogue with employees and other group stakeholders would enable him to meet the challenges facing the Air France-KLM Group.
On May 4, 2016, to pursue the modernization of the fleet, the company confirmed the arrival of the B787s as of the end of 2016. These new aircraft will enable an improvement in the company's economic efficiency and support its growth. They will open the way to new professional development prospects for many Air France employees, from flight crew to ground and maintenance staff.
On May 24, 2016 at the Elysée Palace, in the presence of the French President, Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance and Safran Aircraft Engines signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning the creation of a joint company dedicated to the repair of aircraft engine compressor blades. The new company's business will specifically concern CFM56 engines made by CFM International (equipping the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families), the GE90 made by General Electric (for Boeing 777s) and the GP7200 made by Engine Alliance (for Airbus A380s).
The two partners will invest over €20 million in the new company, which will be 51% owned by Safran Aircraft Engines and 49% by Air France-KLM; operations are scheduled to begin in late 2017.
This new site will be located close to Valenciennes, in the Hauts-de-France region, at the Sars et Rosière business park in the community of La Porte du Hainaut.The new plant will span a 15,000m 2 site and offer all the machinery and equipment needed to for the different stages of engine repair, including high-tech metallurgical processes. After reaching full production capacity in 2020, the company should have a total of 200 to 250 employees.
To give Servair the means to grow and maintain the highest standards in the airline catering sector globally, Air France sought a leading player to become Servair's industrial partner and enable Air France to benefit from the world's highest standards of inflight catering. Several offers were received by the Group within the framework of a competitive tender process.
Following the April 11, 2016 announcement from HNA of its public tender offer for gategroup, a major player in the catering industry, on May 30, 2016 Air France entered into exclusive discussions with HNA with a view to selling 49.99% of Servair and transferring the latter's operational control, for an enterprise value of €475 million (on a 100% basis), with a view to creating the world's market leader for airline catering services.
Following the acquisition of gategroup by HNA, Air France and HNA have ambitions to create the leading platform in the inflight catering business by building on the assets, expertise and networks of both companies. The addition of Servair to gategroup would create an unprecedented offer with more than 200 facilities and 39,000 employees serving more than 300 airline customers. The relevant works councils within the Air France-KLM Group will be informed and consulted on the proposed transaction.
Since June 6, 2016, Air France has served New York-JFK on departure from Paris-Orly thanks to a daily flight operated in a B777-200, equipped with 35 seats in the Business cabin, 24 seats in Premium Economy and 250 seats in Economy. The airline's customers thus benefit from optimized connections without a change of airport, to and from 26 French cities.
Additionally, alongside Flying Blue Elite Plus members, Air France now offers its La Première and Business customers a brand new lounge located in Hall 3 at Paris-Orly airport, open daily from 5h30 to 22h00. With a renovated space spanning more than 330m², Air France is seeking to meet the expectations of its passengers and offer higher standards of comfort, relaxation and entertainment via a wide range of offers and services.
Following the notice of a pilots' strike called for 24 to 27 July, on June 21, 2016 Mr. Jean-Marc Janaillac, accompanied by Frédéric Gagey, Air France's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Gilles Gateau, Air France's Executive Vice President Human Resources and Labor Relations, met with the representatives of the SNPL and the SPAF, the two main pilots' unions.
He submitted to them a proposed action plan aimed at rebuilding trust and balanced compromise within Air France-KLM Group and suspending the measures implemented following the decision taken by the Seine-Saint-Denis Court, in return for cancelling the notice of strike action and a commitment to no strikes before November 1, 2016.
The pilots' unions accepted this proposal.
The Air France-KLM Group's ambition is to be a European leader in the air transport industry by offering all customer segments adapted transportation propositions between both Europe and the rest of the world, and on intra-European routes. This goal is supported by the Group's different brands which are positioned on complementary markets with their own specific operating models.
The network brands, Air France and KLM, are backed by a system of hubs around high-performance infrastructure at Paris-CDG and Amsterdam-Schiphol, and can benefit from numerous partnerships to offer a high-density global network, as well as a wide range of top-quality products and services. The HOP! (point-to-point) and Transavia (low-cost) brands aim to offer efficient transportation solutions for both domestic and intra-European travel. The Air France-KLM Group also plans to develop its positioning as a global reference player in the aeronautics maintenance market by leveraging its recognized know-how in terms of operational performance, innovation and technical expertise.
Lastly, the Group's expertise in the cargo and catering fields supports the Group's airline operations and can be leveraged via a high-quality services offer to third-party customers.
Air France-KLM's strategy is based on the following three strategic priorities:
The execution of this strategy within the Group's different entities will take place via the "Perform 2020" plan which details the various initiatives embodying its deployment.
To capture the ever-growing number of international customers, in 2013 the Air France-KLM Group launched a major upgrading program with the installation, on its long-haul fleet, of new cabins for all travel classes, offering standards of comfort aligned with the industry best in class. At December 31, 2015, 37% of the Air France-KLM long-haul fleet had been equipped. The initial results proved consistent with the Group's ambitions, with customer satisfaction scores markedly higher on flights equipped with the new products.
In medium-haul, during 2015 the Air France fleet of 24 A319s based at Roissy was equipped with new leather-upholstered seats with adjustable head-rests, wider tray tables and coat hooks to improve the standard of on-board comfort. The 25 A320s based at Roissy will, for their part, be equipped with these new cabins during 2016.
This roll-out of new products is being accompanied by a more attentive service to customers throughout their journeys by the Group's airlines, through new ground and in-flight services, and technological innovations at the service of the customer.
All of these upgrading initiatives have received widespread recognition: Air France and KLM significantly improved their rankings in the Skytrax 2015 survey of the best global airlines, with Air France seeing the most progress.
Through its various strategic partnerships, the Air France-KLM Group is steadily reinforcing its presence in all world regions, and particularly in geographies offering the most promising long-term growth prospects.
A powerful network of alliances and partnerships enables Air France-KLM to reinforce its global presence. The joint-ventures with China Eastern and China Southern, reinforced in 2015 with the arrival of Xiamen Airlines in the partnership, enable in-depth coverage of the Chinese market. In Brazil, the partnership with GOL opens up access for Air France-KLM to some 30 Brazilian cities and enables GOL to feed Air France and KLM's trans-Atlantic flights through a code share agreement. Additionally, in 2015, Air France-KLM reinforced its agreement with Jet Airways and Etihad, bolstering the Group's presence in India. Lastly, Air France-KLM is a major player on the trans-Atlantic axis within the framework of its joint-venture with partners Delta and Alitalia.
The intra-European air transport market is seeing rapid growth given the strong leisure demand witnessed in the low-cost segment. Transavia, the Group's low-cost brand, posted +9% growth in 2015 and has a cost structure which is competitive with those of the other low-cost players, meaning that it is able to respond to the growth in European demand. Beyond Transavia's historic markets in France and the Netherlands, Air France-KLM plans to give Transavia a European dimension with a geographical footprint and greater scale. In this respect, since March 2016, Transavia has been operating from its first base outside France and the Netherlands with, over 2016 as a whole, 23 destinations served on departure from Munich.
With forecast growth of 4.1% at global level through to 2025, the aeronautics maintenance segment will enable the maintenance business to pursue its growth and build on Air France-KLM's leadership position in this area. In this regard, Air France-KLM has an order book representing more than five years of revenues. For Air France-KLM, this growth will primarily be reflected in its engine and component activities, both high-value-added maintenance fields. The development of global next-generation aircraft fleets offers significant growth relays and AFI KLM E&M will be able to capitalize on the introduction of B787s and A350s within the Group's fleets to develop a major role in these product lines.
On-going productivity efforts aim to support the competitiveness of the Group companies to ensure their enduring positioning at the level of competitors, and generate results enabling the Group to finance its long-term growth. In respect of the 2015 financial year, negotiations with the KLM unions resulted in productivity agreements with all staff categories while negotiations with the Air France unions are continuing. In parallel, new cost-cutting measures were launched, particularly within the framework of a project to rationalize the support and administrative functions, and through continued rationalization of the HOP! point-to-point network, the densification of the medium-haul fleet and the retirement of the oldest aircraft, and within the framework of the deployment of the High Performance Organization (HPO) at KLM.
The Group plans to pursue its sustainable development commitment: consolidating the reputation of the brands with, amongst other objectives, a very high level of operational safety; establishing a permanent dialogue with stakeholders like customers, suppliers and local communities; reducing its environmental footprint; factoring innovation and sustainability throughout the service chain; promoting a responsible HR policy; contributing to the development of territories where it has operations and, lastly, applying the best corporate governance principles.
Air France-KLM's sustainable development approach is recognized by the leading extra-financial ratings agencies. Amongst other awards, in 2015 the Group was named "Airline" sector leader and included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), the main international index evaluating companies on their sustainability performance, for the eleventh consecutive year. For the seventh year running, Air France-KLM was also ranked leader of the broader "Transport" sector, covering air, rail, sea and road transport as well as airport activities.
The Air France-KLM Group currently operates the largest network between Europe and the rest of the world. In 2016, the Group will serve 320 destinations in 114 countries, including more than 50 new destinations during the Summer 2016 season.
Given its presence in all the major air transport markets, the Group's network is balanced, with no single market representing more than a third of "passenger" revenues. These markets also behave differently, enabling the Group to mitigate the negative impact of any developments or crises affecting some markets.
The Group's network is coordinated around the dual intercontinental hubs of Paris-CDG and Amsterdam-Schiphol, which are two of the four largest connecting platforms in Europe. These hubs combine transfer flows with point-to-point traffic. This large-scale optimized system gives small markets world-wide access, and offers a dense flight schedule tailored to the frequency needs of customers.
The efficiency of the hubs largely depends on the quality of airport infrastructures: number of runways usable in parallel, fluidity of circulation and ease of connections between terminals. In this regard, the dual Paris-CDG and Amsterdam-Schiphol hubs benefit from unsaturated runway capacity. Furthermore, the organization of the Group's activities at Paris-CDG has been significantly improved since the delivery of new infrastructure enabling the regrouping of the operations at terminals 2E, 2F and 2G and the streamlining of flight connections.
With "Air France" and "KLM", the Group has a portfolio of powerful brands that benefit from exceptional reputations and identities in both its two national markets and internationally.
The brand portfolio strategy has been reinforced with the low-cost brand Transavia. The latter is already very well known in the Netherlands and, via its development in France, will be the leading low-cost carrier on departure from Orly. The new regional brand HOP!, launched in 2013 and whose territory has been extended to all the Air France point-to-point operations under the "HOP!" banner, embodies the Group's regional activity.
Thanks to its different brands, the Group benefits from a strong affinity with multiple customer bases which prioritize a value for money approach.
The Air France-KLM Group's choice of meeting the needs of all types of customer in terms of networks, products and fares has enabled it to build a balanced customer base.
In the traditional network carrier business (Air France and KLM brands), around 40% are business passengers and 60% are travelling for personal reasons. The Group also benefits from a balanced breakdown between transfer and point-to-point passengers. At Air France, connecting passengers represent around 45% of total passengers while, at KLM, this figure is 60%. Furthermore, around 50% of revenue is realized with loyalty scheme customers (members of the Flying Blue frequent flyer program or those whose companies have a corporate contract with the Group).
The recent growth of Transavia, which carried some 10.8 million passengers in 2015 compared with 9.9 million in 2014, enables the Group to complete its portfolio of products to become customers' low-cost carrier of choice.
The Group is pursuing its fleet modernization strategy, particularly through the delivery of B787-9 aircraft operated by KLM. In parallel, the last B747- 400s were withdrawn from the Air France fleet in early 2016 while KLM's remaining MD11 Freighters will be retired over the course of the year. The arrival of the first A350-900s is planned for 2019 at Air France.
Having made a significant investment in cabin retrofitting, the Group now offers its passengers a higher standard of comfort, achieves substantial fuel savings and respects its sustainable development commitments by mitigating noise disturbance for local residents and limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2012, the Air France-KLM Group launched "Transform 2015", a business transformation plan which was reflected in a significant recovery in the Group's financial position. 2015 marked the completion of this plan and notably recorded the results over a full year of the initiatives aimed at containing costs excluding fuel and the impact on the Group's debt profile. The "Transform 2015" plan thus enabled the Group to reduce its unit costs while, at the year end, the Group's net debt stood at €4.3 billion, in line with the target.
The reduction by a third in net debt over four years enabled the Group to regain its investment capability which, for the 2015 financial year, stood at €1.6 billion.
"Perform 2020", which succeeded "Transform 2015" in September 2014, is a targeted growth plan, aimed at delivering an optimal service for our customers and markets while maintaining the Group's goals of deleveraging and cost-competitiveness.
Within the framework of this plan, the Group had set itself a target of reducing the unit cost by 1.5% per year on average over the 2015-17 period or the equivalent of around €1 billion. The reduction in unit costs reached a more modest level in 2015 but this target is maintained for the medium term.
To this end, the restructuring of non-competitive activities will be pursued and the identified cost-savings deployed.
A progressive increase in fleet capex will be undertaken within the framework of strict capex discipline to ensure respect of the debt ratios.
Summarizing all these projects, Air France-KLM has set the following financial targets:
These targets are consistent with a ROCE of between 9% and 11% as of 2017.
The Group's passenger business is divided into two segments: the "passenger network" segment which mainly corresponds to the carriage of passengers on scheduled flights operated by the network airlines Air France, KLM and HOP!, and the low-cost business, operated under the Transavia brand, which corresponds to the ''Transavia'' business segment.

For 2016, the Air France-KLM Group maintains its target of a unit cost improvement of around 1% (unit cost per EASK on a constant currency, fuel price and pension-related expenses basis) and free cashflow generation of between €600 million and €1 billion.
In the medium term, Air France-KLM's financial targets are as follows:
These targets are consistent with a ROCE of between 9% and 11% as of 2017.
The Air France-KLM Group noted Pierre-François Riolacci's decision to resign as Chief Financial Officer to assume new professional responsibilities in a European country.
A robust and transparent recruitment process will be implemented in the coming days to appoint his successor.
Jérôme Nanty was appointed Corporate Secretary and a member of the Air France-KLM Executive Committee, effective July 21, 2016.
He replaces Jacques Le Pape who is leaving the Group.
In addition to the risk factors outlined in the 2015 Registration Document filed with the AMF on April 12, 2016, the following risks have been identified.
The on-going situation of geopolitical instability and terrorist attacks in many countries could have a negative impact on both the Group's "passenger" traffic and, consequently, its revenues, and on the level of operating expenses.
In the medium term, the likely slowdown in the United Kingdom and, to a lesser extent, the euro zone could have an impact on the Group's activities and thus on its financial results.
The information concerning related parties can be found in Note 26 to the consolidated financial statements.
Within the framework of a substantial consolidation in the catering business providing services to airlines, the Group studied various scenarios to ensure the development of its subsidiary Servair. After some months of study, the Group opted to open the Servair share capital to another shareholder.
In March 2016, both Servair and Air France informed the employee representative bodies of this search for a partner to participate in the share capital of Servair.
On May 30, 2016, the Group announced that it had entered into exclusive negotiations with HNA for the disposal of 49.99% of Servair and the transfer of its operational control. Subject to HNA's acquisition of gategroup, Air France and HNA intend to create, with gategroup, the leading platform in the inflight catering business. On July 7, HNA published the interim result on the public tender offer for the shares of gategroup and declared the offer successful. The settlement of this offer is expected to take place towards the end of the third quarter/beginning of the fourth quarter 2016.
This transaction should lead to a loss of control of Servair by the Air France-KLM Group, as defined in IFRS 10. Servair currently constitutes the main cash-generating unit of the "Other" segment.
The above elements triggered the accounting treatment of the Servair Group as a "discontinued operation" as of March 31, 2016, as defined in IFRS 5.
The consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2015 have consequently been restated for the purposes of comparison, except for the balance sheet,
Compared with December 31, 2015, the Air France-KLM Group's consolidation scope at June 30, 2016 showed no significant change. The movements are outlined in Note 5 in the notes to the financial statements.

The net cost of financial debt amounted to €134 million versus €168 million at June 30, 2015 restated. The fall in the net cost of financial debt was directly linked to the reduction in gross financial debt.
Other net financial expenses amounted to €44 million versus €386 million at June 30, 2015 restated, with the breakdown as follows:
• A €119 million foreign exchange loss (loss of €246 million at June 30, 2015) which mainly included €116 million of non-realized losses on Japanese Yen debt.
As of June 30, 2015, the foreign exchange losses had mainly included:
Income tax amounted to a €53 million loss versus a €85 million gain at June 30, 2015 restated, deriving a non-significant effective tax rate versus 12.0% at June 30, 2015 restated. The income tax loss as of June 30, 2016, whereas the result before tax is a loss, is explained by the conjunction of two elements:
The share of profits/(losses) of associates amounted to a €1 million positive at June 30, 2016 (versus a negative €18 million at June 30, 2015 restated).
The result from discontinued operations amounted to a €2 million gain as of June 30, 2016 against a gain of €4 million at June 30, 2015 restated. This comprised only the result realized by the Servair Group (see Note 15).
Net income/(loss) - Equity holders of Air France-KLM stood at a loss of €114 million at June 30, 2016 (versus a loss of €638 million at June 30, 2015 restated).
The contributions to the net result by quarter were, respectively, €(152) million for the 2016 first quarter and €43 million for the 2016 second quarter.
Basic earnings/(loss) per share and diluted earnings/(loss) per share stood at €(0.43) at June 30, 2016 versus €(2.16) at June 30, 2015 restated.
The Air France-KLM Group's net capital expenditure on tangible and intangible assets amounted to €1,056 million during the first half versus €809 million at June 30, 2015 restated. Net investment in the fleet amounted to €514 million, ground investment to €33 million, spare parts and aeronautical modifications to €231 million, capitalized maintenance costs to €235 million and investment in intangible assets to €43 million.
Net cash flow from operating activities of continuing operations stood at €1,429 million versus €1,074 million at June 30, 2015 restated, reflecting:
At June 30, 2016, net debt stood at €4.04 billion versus €4.31 billion at December 31, 2015. Currencies had a €142 million negative impact on net debt.
The Group maintains a good level of liquidity, with net cash of €4.23 billion at June 30, 2016 and undrawn credit facilities totalling €1.8 billion.
At June 30, 2016, stockholders' equity, Group share, amounted to a negative €775 million, a €1 billion deterioration over the first half on the back of the strong seasonality of results (net loss of €114 million), a decrease of €1.4 billion in the after-tax net pension liability and a +€594 million change in the fair value of the fuel hedging portfolio. The fair value of the fuel hedging portfolio remains negative, at €237 million as of June 30, 2016.
As a holding company, Air France-KLM has no operating activity. Its revenues comprise royalties paid by the two operating subsidiaries for use of the Air France-KLM logo and services invoiced to Air France and KLM. Its expenses mostly comprise financial communication costs, Statutory Auditors' fees, the expenses linked to compensation of company officers and the staff made available by Air France and KLM. In total, the operating result amounted to a €6 million negative.
The net result amounted to a €75 million loss, essentially due to financial expenses on the bonds. No dividend was paid in respect of the 2015 financial year.
In accordance with generally accepted practice for analysing the air transport sector, operating leases are capitalized at seven times for the capital employed and adjusted net debt calculations. Consequently, the result from current operations is adjusted by the portion of operating leases assimilated with financial charges, i.e. 34% of operating leases, the percentage resulting from the capitalization rate of the operating leases. The outcome is an adjusted operating margin which, by stripping out the accounting impact of different methods of aircraft financing, makes it easier to compare the profitability of different airlines.

The return on capital employed measures the return on invested capital by expressing a result after tax as a percentage of capital employed. The calculation methodology, in line with market practices, is the following:
The calculation of capital employed is currently based on an additive method by identifying the balance sheet items corresponding to capital employed. The capital employed for the year is obtained by taking the average of the capital employed on the opening and closing balance sheets, to which is added the capital employed corresponding to aircraft under operating leases (seven times the amount of operating leases for the year);
The adjusted result after tax corresponds to the sum of the operating result adjusted for the portion corresponding to financial charges in operating leases (34%), dividends received, and the share of profits/(losses) of associates. To be able to compare figures on a comparable scope, the Alitalia shares have been excluded from the calculation.

To analyze the cost performance of an individual transportation activity, the Group divides the net cost of this activity by the capacity produced, expressed in ASK for the "passenger network" and Transavia activity, and in ATK for the cargo activity.
To analyze the company's overall cost performance, the Group uses the net cost per EASK. This net cost is obtained by dividing the total net cost by the capacity produced expressed in equivalent available seat-kilometers (EASK). The net cost is calculated by subtracting the revenues other than those generated by the three transportation activities (passenger, Cargo, Transavia) from total operating expenses. The capacity produced by the three transportation activities is combined by adding the capacity of the passenger business (in ASK) to that of Transavia (in ASK) and the cargo business (in ATK) converted into EASK based on a separate fixed factor for Air France and for KLM.
IAS 19 Revised makes the defined benefit pension expense more volatile. This expense varies independently of the corresponding cash outflows. The calculation of the change in the net cost per EASK on a constant defined benefit pension expense basis enables this effect to be stripped out.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
As used herein, the term "Air France–KLM" refers to Air France-KLM SA, a limited liability company organized under French law. The term "Group" is represented by the economic definition of Air France-KLM and its subsidiaries. The Group is headquartered in France and is one of the largest airlines in the world.
The Group's core business is passenger transportation on scheduled flights ("passenger network"). The Group's activities also include cargo, aeronautics maintenance, "low cost" passenger transportation (Transavia) and other air-transport-related activities including, principally, catering.
The limited company Air France-KLM, domiciled at 2, rue Robert Esnault-Pelterie 75007 Paris, France, is the parent company of the Air France-KLM Group. Air France-KLM is listed for trading in Paris (Euronext) and Amsterdam (Euronext).
The presentation currency used in the Group's financial statements is the euro, which is also Air France-KLM's functional currency.
Within the framework of a substantial consolidation in the catering business providing services to airlines, the Group studied various scenarios to ensure the development of its subsidiary Servair. After some months of study, the Group opted for the participation of another company in the share capital of Servair.
In March 2016, both Servair and Air France informed the representative bodies of their employees about this process of searching a partner to participate in the share capital of Servair.
On May 30, 2016, the Group has announced to be entered into exclusive negotiations with HNA for the disposal of 49.99% of Servair and the transfer of its operational control. Subject to HNA's acquisition of gategroup, Air France and HNA intend to create, with gategroup, the leading platform in the inflight catering business. On July 7, HNA has published the interim result on the public tender offer for the shares of gategroup and has declared the offer successful. The settlement of this offer is expected to occur towards the end of the 3 rd quarter / beginning of the 4 th quarter 2016.
This should lead to a loss of control of Servair by Air France-KLM Group, as defined in IFRS 10 standard. Servair currently constitutes the main cash-generating unit of the segment "Other".
The above elements have triggered the accounting treatment of the Servair Group in "discontinued operations" as of March 31, 2016, as defined in IFRS 5 standard.
The consolidated figures as at June 30, 2015 have consequently been restated for the purpose of comparison, except for the balance sheet.
Detailed information of net income from discontinued operations is presented in Note 15.
Except the ongoing negotiations relating to the participation of another company in the share capital of Servair mentioned in note 2, the following significant event occurred on the period:
During the meeting of the Corporate Works Council on February 26, 2016, the Air France management presented the voluntary departure plan for ground staff and cabin crew, aimed at the departure of approximately respectively 1,400 and 200 full time equivalents. The Group accordingly made a provision of €149 million to the income statement as of June 30, 2016 (see note 11). This provision is the best estimate of the costs involved in this voluntary departure plan.
There has been no significant event since the closing of the period.
Pursuant to the European Regulation n° 1606/2002 of July 19, 2002, the consolidated financial statements of the Air France-KLM Group as of December 31, 2015 were established in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Commission on the date these consolidated financial statements were established.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 are prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union on the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were established, and are presented according to IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting" and must be read in connection with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2015.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 have been established in accordance with the accounting principles used by the Group for the consolidated financial statements 2015, except for standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union applicable as from January 1, 2016.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on July 26, 2016.
These amendments did not generated significant impacts on Group's financial statements as of June 30, 2016.
The Group will early adopt the amendment to IAS 7 as from December 31, 2016.
The Group does not expect any significant impact of the amendment to IAS 12.
The implementation of IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16 is followed as a project. For each standard, the Group has set up dedicated working groups with the individual business segment and department concerned. The initial aim is to identify the changes relative to the current standards, so as to be in a second step, in the position to evaluate the financial impacts.
Revenues and income from current operations are characterized by their seasonal nature related to a high level of activity from April 1 to September 30. This phenomenon varies in magnitude depending on the year. In accordance with IFRS, revenues and the related expenses are recognized over the period in which they are realized and incurred respectively.
For the interim financial statements, the tax charge (current and deferred) is calculated by applying to the income before tax of the period the estimated annual average tax rate for the current year for each entity or fiscal group.
The net obligations concerning the defined-benefits schemes are revalued based on the discount rates and the fair-value of assets at interim closing dates. The net impact of these revaluations is recorded in other comprehensive income. Low discount rates can lead the Group to review other actuarial assumptions in order to keep a global consistency of the assumptions set.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The significant areas of estimates described in the note 4 of the December 31, 2015 consolidated financial statements, concerned:
The Group's management makes these estimates and assessments continuously on the basis of its past experience and various other factors considered to be reasonable.
The consolidated financial statements for the period have thus been established on the basis of financial parameters available at the closing date. Concerning the non-current assets, the assumptions are based on a limited level of growth.
Actual results could differ from these estimates depending on changes in the assumptions used or different conditions.
No significant acquisitions or disposals took place during the first semester ended June 30, 2016.
No significant acquisitions or disposals took place during the first semester ended June 30, 2015.
The segment information is prepared on the basis of internal management data communicated to the Executive Committee, the Group's principal operational decision-making body.
The Group is organized around the following segments:
Passenger network: Passenger network operating revenues primarily come from passenger transportation services on scheduled flights with the Group's airline code (except Transavia), including flights operated by other airlines under code-sharing agreements. They also include commissions paid by SkyTeam alliance partners, code-sharing revenues, revenues from excess baggage and airport services supplied by the Group to third-party airlines and services linked to IT systems.
Cargo: Cargo operating revenues come from freight transport on flights under the companies' codes, including flights operated by other partner airlines under code-sharing agreements. Other cargo revenues are derived principally from sales of cargo capacity to third parties.
Maintenance: Maintenance operating revenues are generated through maintenance services provided to other airlines and customers globally.
Transavia: The revenues from this segment come from the "low cost" activity realized by Transavia.
Other: The revenues from this segment come from several services provided by the Group and not covered by the four other segment mentioned above.
The results of the business segments are those that are either directly attributable or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to these business segments. Amounts allocated to business segments mainly correspond to the EBITDAR, EBITDA, current operating income and to the income from operating activities. Other elements of the income statement are presented in the "non-allocated" column.
Inter-segment transactions are evaluated based on normal market conditions.
Group activities by origin of sale are broken down into eight geographical areas:
Europe (excluding France and Benelux)
Africa
Only segment revenue is allocated by geographical sales area.
Group activities by destination are divided into seven geographical areas:

As of June 30, 2016, the discount rates used by companies to calculate the defined benefit obligations are the following:
| June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Euro zone – Duration 10 to 15 years | 1.05% | 1.80% |
| Euro zone – Duration 15 years and more | 1.55% | 2.35% |
Within the context of the decrease of discount rates, long term inflation rates of the euro zone have been reviewed as of June 30, 2016 using the methodology described in note 31.2 of the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2015:
| June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | |
|---|---|---|
| Euro zone – Duration 10 to 15 years | 1.15% | 1.50% |
| Euro zone – Duration 15 years and more | 1.30% | 1.65% |
The impact in variations of discount and inflation rates on the defined benefit obligation has been calculated using sensitivity analysis of the pension defined benefit obligation. The sensitivity analysis is mentioned in note 31.2 of the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2015.
Over the same period, the fair value of the plan assets of the pension funds increased.
All these items have a cumulative impact resulting in:
The new Dutch Financial Assessment Framework applicable as per January 1, 2015 resulted in higher required solvency levels. Pension funds have more time to recover from immediate and material shortages through a rolling 10 year recovery plan. The existing recovery plan for the KLM Cabin Crew and KLM Ground Staff plan was updated per April 1, 2016. For the KLM Flight Deck Crew plan, a recovery plan was prepared and issued to the Dutch Central Bank for the first time at April 1, 2016. It is not expected that the current low interest rate environment will have an impact on future contributions for the KLM Cabin Crew and KLM Ground Staff schemes.
The current funding agreement of the KLM Flight Deck Crew pension plan provides that pilots will be guaranteed for pensions indexation. With the further decrease of interest rates and the new Financial Assessment Framework applicable as per January 1, 2015, the Group could need, if there is no change in market conditions, to make an additional contribution by the end of the year in order to reach the required coverage ratio for the Plan to grant indexation. As this contribution could be significant, the Group is currently in discussion with the KLM Flight Deck Crew Union to renegotiate the funding agreement. Should these discussions not be conclusive in the short term, the Group may decide to terminate the funding agreement promptly and to start negotiations on a new agreement. In that case, the Group could have to derecognize the net pension assets associated to the KLM Flight Deck Crew plan with an estimated on the income statement (based on June 30, 2016 figures) of € (553) million after tax.

As of June 30, 2016, the restructuring provisions mainly concern the voluntary departure plans of Air France and its regional subsidiaries, KLM and Martinair.
An assessment of litigation risks with third parties has been carried out with the Group's attorneys and provisions have been recorded whenever circumstances require.
Provisions for litigation with third parties also include provisions for tax risks. Such provisions are set up when the Group considers that the tax authorities, in case of a tax audit, could reasonably challenge a tax position adopted by the Group or one of its subsidiaries.
In the normal course of its activities, the Air France-KLM Group, its subsidiaries Air France and KLM and their subsidiaries are involved in litigation cases, some of which may be significant.
Air France, KLM and Martinair, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KLM since January 1, 2009, have been involved, since February 2006, with up to twenty-five other airlines in investigations initiated by the anti-trust authorities in several countries, with respect to allegations of anti-competitive agreements or concerted actions in the air-freight industry.
As of December 31, 2015, most of these investigations have been terminated following the entry into plea agreements between Air France, KLM and Martinair and the appropriate competition authorities providing for the payment of settlement amounts or fines, with the exception of the proceedings initiated by the European Commission, and by the Swiss anti-trust authority, which are still pending.
In Europe, the decision of the European Commission of 2010 against a dozen airline companies, including the companies of the Group Air France, KLM and Martinair, was annulled by the General Court of the European Union on December 16, 2015.
As the European Commission has indicated its intention, following such annulment, to adopt a new decision against Air France-KLM, Air France, KLM and Martinair, the €340 million provision in respect of the fine has been maintained in the accounts of the Group as of June 30, 2016.
During the 1 st semester 2016, the Group released to the consolidated income statement the €41 million provision covering the accrued interest (see note 12).
In Switzerland, Air France and KLM are challenging a decision imposing a €3 million fine before the relevant court.
As of June 30, 2016, the total amount of provisions in connection with the anti-trust cases amounts to €343 million.
Other provisions relate principally to power-by-the-hour contracts (maintenance activity of the Group), provisions for onerous leases, provisions for the portion of CO2 emissions not covered by the free allocation of quotas and provisions for the dismantling of buildings.
The Group is involved in several governmental, judicial and arbitration procedures for which provisions have not been recorded in the financial statements in accordance with applicable accounting rules.
Following the initiation of various investigations by the competition authorities in 2006 and the E.U. Commission decision in 2010, several collective and individual actions were brought by forwarders and air-freight shippers in civil courts against Air France, KLM and Martinair, and the other airlines in several jurisdictions.
Under these civil lawsuits, shippers and freight forwarders are claiming for damages to compensate alleged higher prices due to the cartel.
Air France, KLM and/or Martinair remain defendants, either as main defendants (in particular in The Netherlands, Norway, South Korea and the United States of America) or as third party interveners brought in these cases by other main defendants under "contribution proceedings" (in the UK for example). Where Air France, KLM and/or Martinair are the main defendants, they have also initiated contribution proceedings against other airlines.
No provision has been recognized at present in connection with these disputes as the Group is not in a position at this stage of the judicial proceedings to give a reliable estimate of the potential loss that would be incurred if the outcome of these proceedings were negative. In particular, although significant amounts have been reported by the media, plaintiffs are mostly claiming for unspecified and/or insufficiently substantiated damages against defendants taken as a whole (and not individually) and the EU decision to which the plaintiffs generally refer to is still not definitive.
The Group companies and the other airlines involved in these lawsuits continue to vigorously oppose all such civil claims.
A civil class action was reinitiated in 2013 by claimants in Ontario against seven airlines including Air France and KLM. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants participated in a conspiracy in the passenger air transport service from/to Canada on the cross-Atlantic routes, for which they are claiming damages. Air France and KLM strongly deny any participation in such a conspiracy.
Following to the crash in the South Atlantic Ocean of the Rio-Paris AF447 flight, a number of legal actions for damages have been brought by heirs of the victims in the United States and Brazil and more recently in France. Damages to heirs of the victims are covered by third-party liability insurance subscribed by Air France.
In 2011, Air France and Airbus were indicted as legal entities for unintentional manslaughter and therefore are exposed to applicable fines under the French criminal code. Air France is challenging its implication in this criminal case.
Except for the matters specified under the paragraphs 21.1 and 21.2, the Group is not aware of any governmental, judicial and arbitration dispute or proceedings (including any proceedings of which the issuer is aware, or that are pending or threatened against it) that could have a significant impact on the Group's financial position, earnings, assets, liabilities or profitability, for a period including at least the past twelve months.

I hereby declare that, to the best of my knowledge, the condensed financial statements for the first half of the 2015 financial year have been established in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and give a true and fair view of the assets, financial position and results of the Company and of all the companies within the consolidation scope, and that the first half activity report presents a true picture of the significant events arising during the first six months of the financial year and of their impact on the first half financial statements, the main related party agreements together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year.
Jean-Marc Janaillac Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016
Following our appointment as Statutory Auditors by your Annual General Meetings 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 are the responsibility of the 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 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
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.
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.
