Operating margins, defined as Leasing contract and Services margins excluding excess depreciation, proved their resilience in H1 2020, growing 3.1% year on year when excluding excess depreciation, in line with funded fleet growth, at +3.1% vs. H1 2019.
Total Fleet growth was penalised by severe lockdown measures taken in Western Europe.
However, customer and partner relationships were enhanced by the crisis, through proximity and attentiveness and a close monitoring of difficult situations. Activity has picked up progressively after lockdown measures were softened and pre-crisis levels have already been reached in some geographies.
Despite lower delivery volumes during the lockdowns, the penetration of "green"2 powertrains continues to rise: they represented 19% of ALD's passenger car deliveries globally in Q2 2020 (vs. 12% in Q2 2019) and close to 21% in Europe3 , already in line with the target of more than 20% "green" vehicles deliveries in Europe5 by the end of 2020 announced at the start of the year.
ALD is ready to meet this shift in demand thanks to its continued work with reference players, from car manufacturers such as Tesla or Polestar, to providers of charging infrastructure and support such as Chargepoint, E.On and Enel. These partnerships are part of a comprehensive programme to promote Electric Vehicles, which includes EV-dedicated products such as Switch and Carsharing.
Total Fleet reached 1.76 million vehicles at the end of June 2020, up 3.8% vs. end of June 2019. Organic fleet growth (neutralising the impact of the acquisition of Stern Lease in the Netherlands and the disposal of ALD Fortune Auto Leasing & Renting in China) over the same period stood at 3.1%.
Leasing Contract Margin reached EUR 295.5 million and Services Margin EUR 320.4 million in H1 2020, down 10.5% and up 4.2% respectively vs. H1 2019. Taken together they decreased by EUR 22.0 million vs. H1 2019. In Q2 2020, the Leasing Contract Margin included a EUR 30.0 million excess depreciation charge, resulting from the fleet revaluation process, which embeds stressed sales prices expected to last into 2021.
The contribution to Gross Operating Income from Used Car Sales result reached EUR -11.6 million in H1 2020, down significantly from EUR 43.4 million in H1 2019. The drop was due in part to a specific EUR 18.6 million impairment of used car stock, which was recorded in H1 results, reflecting delays in sales and potential reduction in the prices of second-hand cars.
Average sales margin on used vehicles4 for the half-year came in at EUR -92 per unit, and EUR 55 when restated from the exceptional impairment charge on used car stock recorded over the period. The Q2 20 average was EUR -284 per unit, and EUR -105 excluding the exceptional impairment charge.

3 European Economic Area, UK and Switzerland
4 Management information

The number of used cars sold5 in H1 2020 was 126K, down from 144K in H1 2019, reflecting the effect of lockdown measures in March and April. Although remarketing activity has shown a promising rebound since mid-May, stock levels remain above pre-crisis level. ALD continues to promote contract duration extensions to targeted customers with the aim of lowering the number of vehicles to be sold. ALD's digital remarketing platform is a key asset in the efficient management of used car sales, as activity progressively picks up again.
Operating Expenses decreased by EUR 3.4 million in H1 2020, reaching EUR 313.4 million, demonstrating ALD's strong ability to control costs in difficult times. This decrease reached EUR 8 million in Q2 2020 when compared to Q2 2019, a significant achievement in a context of 3.8% fleet growth.
Impairment charges on receivables reached EUR 47.6 million, rising by EUR 25.8 million from the EUR 21.8 million recorded in H1 2019. This increase was principally due to a EUR 13.4m forward looking provision recorded in H1 2020 results reflecting the expected increase in probability of customer default. The cost of risk5 reached 46 bps in H1 2020, and 32 bps when excluding the forward-looking component.
Further to the closing of the transaction on 28 February 2020, a EUR 10.0 million post-tax profit on disposal of ALD's stake in ALD Fortune Auto Leasing & Renting (China) was recorded in Q1 2020.
As a result, ALD Net Income (Group Share) reached EUR 206.8 million in H1 2020, down from EUR 280.7 million in H1 2019. This decrease mainly results from solid provisioning and excess depreciation charges totalling EUR 62 million (before tax).

SOLID BALANCE SHEET
5 Cost of risk: Annualised ratio, using the Impairment Charges on Receivables divided by the arithmetic average of Earning Assets at the beginning and end of the period.

COMMENTS ON SIGNIFICANT BALANCE SHEET MOVEMENTS
Earning Assets decreased by 3.3% at the end of June 2020 vs. the end of the previous year, reaching EUR 20.5 billion, reflecting a slight decrease in funded fleet due to the effect of contract extensions and of foreign exchange translation impacts.
Equity reinvestments in long-term deposits decreased by EUR 39 million, as amortising deposits with Societe Generale continued to run off. Other assets remained stable.
Total funding at the end of June 2020 stood at EUR 17.9 billion (down slightly from EUR 18.4 billion at the end of 2019) of which 70% consisted of loans from Societe Generale. Over the course of H1 2020, EUR 400m of bonds matured and were not refinanced in the context of limited funding needs in 2020 due to contract extensions and limited funded fleet growth.
The Group's Total Equity to Total Assets ratio stood at 15.6% at the end of June 2020, up from 15.2% a year earlier, and down slightly from 15.7% at end 2019 following the payment of 2019 dividend in Q2 2020 (EUR 254 million).
NEW GUIDANCE FOR 20206
- ✓ Total Fleet growth (organic) close to 0% versus 2019, plus bolt-on acquisitions as opportunities arise
- ✓ Used Car Sales result per vehicle to average EUR -250 to EUR 0
- ✓ Cost/Income (excluding Used Car Sales result) ratio between 50% and 51%
3. KEY STRATEGIC INITATIVES & OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
LAUNCH OF FLEXIBLE OFFERS
On 24 June, ALD announced the launch of ALD Flex, a flexible mobility solution with the advantages of fully serviced vehicles and on demand availability in 19 countries.

ALD proposes ALD Swap in Norway. This premium subscription product offers a flexible car selection and the option to swap cars at any time.
ALD CARMARKET NEW GLOBAL BRAND IDENTITY
On 16 June, ALD launched a new phase in the expansion of its unified brand identity: the rebranding of the entire remarketing offering under the company's new global brand identity ALD Carmarket, now used for both retail and corporate segments. Intensifying the launch of direct "clicks & bricks" used car purchase or lease offering for consumers and leveraging the largest used car offering in the industry, ALD Carmarket provides high quality, expertly serviced and appraised used cars that are sourced through the countries where ALD has a direct presence.

RANKED PLATINUM BY ECOVADIS IN POLAND AND LUXEMBURG
Early 2020, EcoVadis has reviewed its rating grid. Criteria for bronze and silver medals were strengthened and a new "Platinum" rating was created to reward high-performance companies. Within the top 1% of companies on the global EcoVadis platform and with an overall score greater or equal to 73/100, Poland and Luxembourg are the first ALD entities to have been rated "Platinum".
LAUNCH OF A NEW FLEET MANAGEMENT BUSINESS WITH FORD IN EUROPE
On 16 July, Ford and ALD signed a shareholder agreement to create Ford Fleet Management, an integrated leasing and fleet management solution for European customers.
Ford Fleet Management will leverage both parties' deep understanding of customers, product and mobility services, as well as an extensive dealer network, to deliver the ambition of best-in-class vehicle uptime.
Ford Fleet Management will begin operating in the UK by the autumn, subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
This initiative deepens a long-standing relationship in which ALD Automotive has been providing Ford Lease Services for more than 15 years in Europe.
SOUTH EAST ASIAN STRATEGY
In H1 2020, ALD has started to implement its South East Asian strategy through the creation of a joint venture with Mitsubishi UFJ Lease and Finance Company Limited (MUL) to operate in Malaysia. In addition, ALD signed partnership agreements with Mitsubishi Auto Leasing Corporation (MAL) to extend global coverage in Japan, and with Shouqi Car Rental & Leasing to provide full service leasing solutions in China.
4. RISK FACTORS
ALD continues to be subject to the usual risks and the risks inherent to its business as mentioned in Chapter 4 of the Universal Registration Document filed on 9 April 2020. There were no material changes in these risks during the rest of H1 19.

Statutory Auditors' Review Report on the Half-yearly Financial Information
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us 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:
- the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of ALD, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2020;
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors on July 31, 2020 on the basis of the information available at that date in a changing context of the Covid-19 crisis and difficulties in understanding its impact and future prospects. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

1. Conclusion on the financial statements
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.
2. Specific verification
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 prepared on July, 31 2020.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
ALD ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group") is a service leasing and vehicle fleet management group with a fleet of more than 1,765,000 vehicles. The Group provides financing and management services in 42 countries in the world including the following businesses:
Full service leasing: Under a full-service lease, the client pays the leasing company a regular monthly lease payment to cover financing, depreciation of the vehicle and the cost of various services provided in relation to the use of the vehicle (such as maintenance, replacement car, tyre management, fuel cards and insurance).
Fleet management: Fleet management services include the provision of outsourcing contracts to clients under which the vehicle is not owned by the Group but is managed by the Group and for which the client pays fees for the various fleet management services provided. These services are generally identical to those listed under the full-service leasing above, with the exception of the financing service, as the vehicle is owned by the client.
The company is a French « Société Anonyme » incorporated in Société Générale group. Its registered office is located at 1-3 Rue Eugène et Armand Peugeot Corosa 92500 Rueil-Malmaison.
The company is a subsidiary of the Société Générale group (79.82% ownership).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Euros, which is the Group's presentation currency and values are rounded to the nearest million, unless otherwise indicated. In certain cases, rounding may cause non-material discrepancies in the lines and columns showing totals.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were authorised for issue by ALD's Board of Directors on July 31, 2020.
NOTE 2. MAJOR EVENTS OF THE PERIOD
2.1. COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic is affecting economic and financial markets, and all industries are facing challenges associated with the economic conditions resulting from efforts to address it.
It has triggered a deep global recession as countries have imposed, with varying degrees of stringency, policies of social distancing, including economy-wide lockdowns and travel restrictions to flatten the epidemiological curb.
Gauging the economic costs of Covid-19 remains an uncertain exercise given the many unknowns as to how long social distancing policies might remain in place and how consumers and business will adapt to the postpandemic environment.
Given the still heightened uncertainty, both with respect to the near-term developments on the health crisis, consumer and business behaviours and the policy response, the Group's management has updated interim forecasts which are based on a range of baseline and prolonged scenarios taking into account country by country reviews. The baseline scenario assumes a reduction of the remaining non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI), such as limits on travel and social gatherings, and a more robust policy response, which is key for the shape of recovery in 2021. The prolonged scenario assumes a slow lifting only of NPI with potential pockets of tightening and continued cautious consumer behaviours, along with a weaker policy response.

It is worth emphasising that the Group's outlook is based on current available information which will be reviewed in case of a further deteriorated context.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, the Group has continually monitored developments and carefully considered its unique circumstances and risk exposures when analysing how recent events have affected its interim financial statements and disclosures related to several key areas:
Credit risk
In these unprecedented times, determining the recoverability of receivables has been a key source of estimation uncertainty for the Group due to the higher concentration of customers likely to be facing financial difficulty or insolvency. Management has given careful consideration to indicators that the Group's customers may be experiencing financial difficulty, such as later than normal payments or partial payments, and recognise impairment losses or make realistic provisions based on the losses expected.
Expected credit losses shall be reassessed at each reporting date and shall reflect all reasonable information that is available at the reporting date. Other than potential changes in the credit terms granted to its customers, given the potential changes in the debtors' risk profiles as a result of the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 outbreak, management has reviewed the Group's provision matrix used in determining the expected credit losses, including the revision of the expected loss rates and assessed the potential impairment or write-off of receivables. Due to greater volatility in potential economic conditions, even over the relatively short exposure period of trade receivables, the Group has considered various factors and stresses in determining loss rates.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all sound trade and lease receivables. These losses are measured based on a provision matrix for receivables associated with sound customers, as described below. Probability of Default (PD) rates are based on observed default rates over the life of the receivables (the average contract length in each entity). Specific PD rates are calculated for each entity. This process results in Probability of Default (PD) rates for each age of past-due receivables. The PD rates are applied to the aged receivables of the reporting period to arrive at a total provision. The final impairment allowance is also adjusted to consider Loss Given Default (LGD) specific to the entity.
In light of the negative economic outlook and potential cash flow difficulties experienced by customers as a result of Covid-19 the Group has decided to book the forward-looking element due to the management's belief that it will currently have a material impact. The increase in the provision reflects the greater probability of customer defaults and the higher magnitude of loss given default. The Group has analysed their customer portfolio to identify individual customers or sectors which are likely to be more significantly impacted by Covid-19. For the majority of countries, the retail, construction, car rental, tourism and hospitality industries have been identified as being more influenced by the current economic situation. In addition, small and medium entities, partnership and private customers have been included in this forward looking portfolio. In order to identify these customers, entities considered the level of requests for payment deferrals and contract extensions in the first months of the outbreak, changes in the level of direct debit reject as well as knowledge of the specific local economies. On average 13% of the total customer portfolio has been identified as at risk. For these customers simulations have been made to reflect various stress impacts which can be classified as "light, average or severe". These stress impacts have been applied by factoring in an additional uplift to PD rates. The range of the uplift factors applied were between 0% and 30% based on the individual country economic environment.
In addition, a global stress of a 20% uplift has been applied to the PD rate for all other remaining sound customer balances. At this time the Group has performed the analysis on a country by country basis and this has meant a total forward looking provision booking of EUR 13.4 million as per the baseline scenario. If the severe uplift was applied to all countries, the forward looking provision would increase to EUR 14.1 million. Exclusion of the 20% uplift on all other sound customer balances would have decreased the provision by EUR 2.2 million; increase of the uplift to 30% would have increased the provision by EUR 0.8 million.

The cost of risk in the first half of the current financial year represents 46bps of the average earning assets. Management consider the current level of provision to be adequate.
All provision parameters including the relevance of above uplifts factors will be reviewed in the second semester. according to the pandemic evolution.
For information, the overall impact of the most recent financial crisis in 2009 was a cost of risk of 45bps of the average earning assets*.
* Annualised ratio, using the Impairment Charges on Receivables divided by the arithmetic average of Earning Assets at the beginning and end of the period.

The increase in the provision for impairment of receivables under finance lease contracts and trade receivables is due to the forward looking provision which was booked in the first half of the financial year.
Based on the receivables which are in the scope, the loss allowance as at 30 June, 2020 and 31 December 2019 was determined as follows for both trade and finance lease receivables:

Lease payment deferrals
In light of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group has granted lease payment deferrals to some of its customers where lease payments for the amounts invoiced can be deferred for up to three months. The Group entities have considered such payment deferrals based on specific facts and circumstances of each customer. They do not result in changes in either the scope of or the consideration for a lease. The lease payments are deferred during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic only and are subsequently increased proportionally, so that the consideration of the lease is unchanged and there is no lease modification. If the lessee fails to pay amount due under the lease contract or the Group is concerned that the lessee may be unable to pay amounts falling due in future periods, then the Group applies IFRS 9 and lease receivables are subject to impairment testing.
Residual Value Risk
As a general rule, the Group retains the residual value risk on its leased vehicles and sells vehicles returned by its clients at the end of the lease, at a profit or loss.
The Group is exposed to a potential loss in a financial year from (i) resale of vehicles related to leases which expire during the period whose resale value is lower than their net carrying amount and (ii) additional impairment during the lease period if residual value drops below contractual residual value. Profit from future sales and estimated losses are impacted by external factors such as macroeconomic conditions, government policies, tax and environmental regulations, consumer choices, new vehicle prices, technological changes, etc.
If several countries go into recession simultaneously as a result of the Covid-19 crisis, the demand for used vehicles could fall and lead to a decline in the resale value of vehicles. Residual value risk is mitigated by an active implementation of contract extensions with existing customers as well as by the development of the flexible lease product where used vehicles are reassigned to new contracts.
The Group has also performed a fleet revaluation in the first semester of 2020 on a country by country basis to identify and calculate any impacts of changes in the estimated residual value of the vehicles under operating leases. Any potential risks are provided for prospectively over the remaining estimated useful life and then released upon disposal. The Group considered different scenarios across all regions with an adapted stress per vehicle depending on the severity of the pandemic and the local used car sales markets. All stressed scenarios assume a negative impact on the used car sales prices in 2020 and 2021.
The results of these revaluations were reviewed centrally and as at June 30, 2020 the Group considers the baseline scenario which is equivalent to an average Covid-19 stress of EUR 500 per vehicle to be the most likely outcome and this has resulted in a net charge of EUR 30 million booked in the Depreciation costs in profit or loss (June 30, 2019: EUR 11.3 million net income).

Impairment of used car stock
The Group continues to state its inventories at the lower of net book value and net realisable value where net realisable value is the estimated selling price less applicable variable selling expenses. The provision is calculated on a vehicle by vehicle basis.
Lockdown restrictions caused various logistical challenges and a reduced remarketing activity which resulted in increased used car stock levels at the end of June, 2020. As a consequence, in the first semester of 2020 the Group has made EUR 18.6 million used car stock provision in order to anticipate a longer sales process and potential reduction in prices (June 30,2019 release of EUR 2.3 million).
Liquidity Risk
ALD Group is exposed to liquidity risk which is the risk of not being able to meet cash flow requirements when they fall due and at a reasonable price. A structural liquidity position is derived from the maturities of all outstanding balance-sheet or off-balance sheet positions according to their liquidity profile.
The risk of not finding financing in sufficient quantity or at a satisfactory price is increasing as a result of the tensions in the financial markets generated by the Covid-19 crisis. However, the Group remains supported by Société Générale for the financing of its development.
ALD Group limits its exposure to liquidity risks by financing the underlying asset over the same duration as the corresponding lease contract. The residual liquidity gap of each entity is measured on a monthly basis by assessing the matching of the run off of the existing leased assets with remaining liabilities. Any deviation from the sensitivity threshold is corrected under the supervision of the Group Central Treasury.
The funding arrangements have been regularly reviewed by the Group and there have been no significant impacts on the assessment of the liquidity risk.
Going concern
The management has been continually assessing all available information about the future and has been considering various possible outcomes of events and changes in conditions. 2020 and future years forecasts have undergone significant revisions - e.g. for forecast revenues, margins and changes in working capital – to be able to support management's assessment in the current environment. The management has also assessed what impacts the current and future events and conditions may have on the Group's operations considering different possible outcomes and applying downside scenarios (e.g. lockdowns), with the key outcome that the Group has sufficient liquidity to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due and that the status of going concern has not been affected by Covid-19 pandemic.
2.2 SALEOF SUBSIDIARY INCHINA
In 2019 ALD entered into an agreement to sell its 50% equity stake in ALD Fortune Auto Leasing & Renting (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. in China, which was being sold along with the 50% equity stake held by its joint venture partner. The property rights transaction contract was signed on December 16, 2019 and the closing of the transaction took place on February 28, 2020.
This subsidiary meets the criteria of a discontinued operation and the details of its sale are presented in Note 9.

NOTE 3. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
3.1. BASISOF PREPARATION
The Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2020 are prepared in accordance with International Financing Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim financial reporting", using the same accounting policies as those described in Note 2 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Since interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the annual financial statement disclosures required under IFRS, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows has been changed to the new format which is used to reflect the sale of the discontinued operation. Profits before tax from continuing and discontinued operations have been used to reconcile to cash generated from operating activities. The effect of the gain from disposal of discontinued operation has been removed from the profit before tax on discontinued operations and the proceeds generated from the sale of the discontinued operation (net of cash disposed) have been presented in cash flows from investing activities.
3.2. NEW ANDAMENDED STANDARDS ANDINTERPRETATIONS APPLICABLE AS FROM JANUARY 1, 2020
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2020. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2020, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
| Accounting standards, amendments or Interpretations | Note | Adoption dates by the European Union |
|---|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business | 3.2.1 | January 01, 2020 |
| Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39: Interest Rate | January 01, 2020 | |
| Benchmark Reform | 3.2.2 | |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material | 3.2.3 | January 01, 2020 |
| Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on 29 March 2018 |
3.2.4 | January 01, 2020 |
| Amendments to IFRS 16 'Leases' – Covid-19 Rent Concessions |
3.2.5 | June 01, 2020 |
3.2.1. Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business
The amendment to IFRS 3 clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarified that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and

processes needed to create outputs. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group but may impact future periods should the Group enter into any business combinations.
3.2.2. Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
The amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group as it does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.
3.2.3. Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material
The amendments provide a new definition of material that states "information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity."
The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of, nor is there expected to be any future impact to the Group.
3.2.4. Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on 29 March 2018
The Conceptual Framework is not a standard, and none of the concepts contained therein override the concepts or requirements in any standard. The purpose of the Conceptual Framework is to assist the IASB in developing standards, to help preparers develop consistent accounting policies where there is no applicable standard in place and to assist all parties to understand and interpret the standards. The revised Conceptual Framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and recognition criteria for assets and liabilities and clarifies some important concepts.
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
3.2.5. Amendments to IFRS 16 – Covid-19 Rent Concessions
The lessee perspective
IASB has issued amendments to IFRS 16 (the amendments) to provide practical relief for lessees in accounting for rent concessions. The amendment has been adopted by the Group from June 1, 2020.
Under the standard's previous requirements, lessees assess whether rent concessions are lease modifications and, if so, apply the specific guidance on accounting for lease modifications. This generally involves remeasuring the lease liability using the revised lease payments and a revised discount rate.
In light of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the fact that many lessees are applying the standard for the first time in their financial statements, the Board has provided an optional practical expedient for lessees.
Under the practical expedient, lessees are not required to assess whether eligible rent concessions are lease modifications, and instead are permitted to account for them as if they were not lease modifications.
Rent concessions are eligible for the practical expedient if they occur as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic and if all of the following criteria are met:

- the change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;
- any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021; and
- there is no substantive change to the other terms and conditions of the lease.
The Group has applied the practical expedient for rent concessions that meet the above criteria by derecognising a portion of the lease liability and recognising a negative variable lease payment in the profit or loss. Right-ofuse asset continues to be depreciated without any changes and interest on the lease liability is accrued at the unchanged incremental borrowing rate.
A change in the scope of a lease, or the consideration of a lease, that was not part of the original terms and conditions meets the standard of a lease modification and the Group continues to apply IFRS 16 for accounting for such modifications.
The Group has assessed that the impacts of all rent concessions as at June 30, 2020 do not present material amounts in any of its subsidiaries.
The lessor perspective
The amendments do not include a practical expedient for lessors. Lessors are still required to assess whether a rent concession granted is a lease modification. If a lessor concludes that a rent concession is a lease modification, then it applies the specific guidance in the standard on accounting for both finance and operating lease modifications. The Group already adheres to the standard concerning lease modifications and no changes are required in the financial statements.
3.3. FUTURE ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGE
IASB publishes accounting standards, amendments and interpretations, some of which have not been adopted by the European Union as at 30 June 2020. They are required to be applied from annual periods beginning on 1 January 2021 at the earliest or on the date of their adoption by the European Union. They were therefore not applied by the Group as at 30 June 2020.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
Issued by IASB on 18 May 2017
To be applied from 1 January 2021
This new standard will replace IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" that was issued in 2004 and which currently allows entities to use national requirements for the accounting of insurance contracts.
IFRS 17 provides new rules for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts that belong to its application scope (insurance contracts issued, reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts issued with discretionary participation features). The underwriting reserves currently recognised among liabilities in the balance sheet will be replaced by a current value measurement of insurance contracts.
The general model provided for the measurement of insurance contracts in the balance sheet will be based on a building-blocks approach: a current estimate of future cash flows, a risk adjustment, and a contractual service margin.

Positive contractual service margins will be recognised as income over the duration of the insurance service, whereas negative margins will be immediately recognised as expense, as soon as the insurance contract is identified as onerous.
The general model will be the default measurement model for all insurance contracts.
However IFRS 17 also provides a mandatory alternative model for insurance contracts with direct participation features. Under this model, called "variable fee approach", the measurement of the insurance contract liability shall take into account the obligation to pay to policyholders a substantial share of the fair value returns on the underlying items, less a fee for future services provided by the insurance contract (changes in the fair value of underlying items due to policyholders are then recognised as an adjustment of the contractual service margin).
A simplified measurement (premium allocation approach) is also allowed by the standard under conditions for short-term contracts (12 months or less) and contracts for which the result of premium allocation approach is closed to the general approach.
These measurement models will have to be applied to homogeneous portfolios of insurance contracts. The level of aggregation of these portfolios will be assessed considering:
- contracts that are subject to similar risks and managed together;
- the year during which contracts are issued; and
- at initial recognition, contracts that are onerous, contracts that have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently, and the remaining contracts.
The Group is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 17 and will conclude on the materiality of impact at a later point in time.
NOTE 4. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires the management of both the Group and its subsidiaries to use certain estimates and assumptions that may have an impact on the reported values of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the reporting date and on items of income and expense for the period.
Majority of estimates and assumptions, which are based on historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, are used to assess the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates if different assumptions or circumstances apply.
In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were largely the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. However, as a result of the uncertainty associated with the unprecedented nature of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Group has continually reviewed its selection of appropriate assumptions and development of reliable estimates that underlie various accounting conclusions. The main assumptions and estimates that have undergone significant revision are those concerning expected credit losses and residual value risk management. Please refer to Note 2.1 Covid-19 Pandemic for further details.

NOTE 5. EXCHANGE RATE
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements of certain subsidiaries whose functional currency differs from the presentation currency used in ALD' s accounts have been translated (i) at the exchange rate prevailing at June 30, 2020 for the balance sheet, and (ii) at the average exchange rate for the period ended at June 30, 2020 for the income statement, statement of comprehensive income and cash flow statement except in the case of significant fluctuations in exchange rates. Translation differences have been recorded in equity.
The main exchange rates used in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are based on Paris stock exchange rates and are as follows:
| June 30,2020 | December 31,2019 |
June 30,2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Period-end Rate |
Average Rate | Period-end Rate | Average Rate | |
| EUR / UK Pound: | 0.9124 | 0.8743 | 0.8508 | 0.8736 |
| EUR / Danish Krone: | 7.4526 | 7.4648 | 7.4715 | 7.4650 |
| EUR / Swedish Krona: | 10.4948 | 10.6610 | 10.4468 | 10.5187 |
| EUR/ Russian Ruble | 79.6300 | 76.6825 | 69.9563 | 73.7215 |
| EUR/ Czech Koruna | 26.7400 | 26.3423 | 25.408 | 25.6837 |
| EUR/ Brazilian Real | 6.1118 | 5.4169 | 4.5157 | 4.3407 |
| EUR/ Ukrainian Hryvnia | 29.9100 | 28.9880 | 26.68935 | 30.4053 |
NOTE 6. SEASONALITY AND CYCLICALITY
As the Group leases assets to its clients for durations that normally range between three to four years, the impact of seasonality and cyclicality is relatively limited.
NOTE 7. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, asset risk, damage risk and treasury risk (including liquidity risk, interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management policies and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Financial risk exposures associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and their management are elaborated on in Note 2.1.
NOTE 8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Board of Directors approves the decisions taken by the Group's Executive Committee which is the main decision making body (comprising of the Group's CEO, Deputy CEOs, CFO, CAO, CCO, Group Regional Directors and Group Human Resources Director )7 .
Management considers the performance of the following geographical segments: Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Northern Europe and South America, Africa, Asia and Rest of the World.
There were no changes in the segmentation during the first six months of 2020.
7 CEO: Chief Executive Officer, CFO: Chief Financial Officer and CAO: Chief Administrative Officer, CCO: Chief Commercial Officer

The Group's Executive Committee assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of revenue and profit before tax as presented in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. They also check to ensure that no customer represents more than 10% of the total revenue.
Revenue and Profit before Tax
Sales between segments are carried out at arm's length. The revenue from external parties reported to the Board of Directors is measured in a manner consistent with that in the income statement.

Income tax expense is recognised based on the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss. The effective average annual tax rate that is expected to be used for the year ended on December 31, 2020 is 18.26% (17.62% for the year ended December 31, 2019).
Due to the current adverse challenges caused by Covid-19 the Group has considered the effect of changes to the projections and probability of future taxable profits on the recognition and subsequent recoverability of deferred tax assets. There have been no indicators to suggest that availability of qualifying taxable temporary differences, as well as future taxable profits, have been impacted and deferred tax assets will not be recoverable in the future.
The Group's subsidiaries locally monitor developments in the income tax law introduced as part of a government's measures in response to Covid-19 – e.g. tax reliefs for certain types of income, additional tax deductions, a reduced tax rate or an extended period to use tax losses carried forward. As at June 30, 2020 there has been no substantively enacted changes which had material impacts on the Group's statements.
In the first six months of 2020 there was a EUR 21.7 million benefit in the current tax due to the 2016 and 2017 Stability Law introduced in Italy which provides a tax benefit to encourage the purchase of new tangible assets. This benefit allows an additional 40% increase of depreciation that can be deducted from the taxable base and is only available to businesses receiving income and not individuals.
Axus Italiana Sarl (Italy) had joined Societe Générale tax consolidation group in Italy in 2016. This regime allows the determination of a single IRES taxable base comprised of the taxable income and losses of each of the

participating entities. Payment for group relief is made equal to the tax benefit and amounts are included in current tax. In June 2019 there was a reclassification between deferred and current tax for the amount of EUR 56.5 million due to group relief which resulted in transfer of Italy's tax losses to another tax group entity. No such reclassification is required in 2020 and the tax benefit is recorded in current tax.
NOTE 12. DIVIDENDS
A dividend related to the period ended December 31, 2019 for an amount of EUR 253.9 million (EUR 0.63 per share) was paid to ALD shareholders on June 3rd, 2020 of which dividend paid to Societe Generale is EUR 202.7 million (a dividend related to the period ended December 31, 2018 for an amount of EUR 234 million was paid to ALD shareholders on May 31, 2019 of which dividend paid to Societe Generale was EUR 187 million).

Although there has been a difficult economic environment caused by Covid-19 pandemic, the Group has not implemented any restructuring plans or temporary downsizing of its operations.
NOTE 14. GOODWILL
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash generating units ("CGUs"), or groups of CGUs, which is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is calculated using the most appropriate method, generally the discounted cash flow (DCF).
Cash flows were projected on actual financial results and the 5-year business plans, for which management has assessed and approved the reasonableness of its assumptions by examining the causes of differences between past cash flow projections and actual cash flows.
A discount rate was applied which is built up of a risk-free interest, a market premium multiplied by a market specific beta.
Due to the potential reduced demand for leasing and fleet management services worldwide and other uncertainties regarding the resale value of vehicles the Group has performed an impairment test as at 30 June 2020 on the 7 cash generating units which are expected to be most impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This represents 88% of the total goodwill.
The Group has prepared various "stressed" scenarios for the future cashflow projections. The most severe scenario had the following stresses:

- 10% reduction in forecast fleet additions in 2020 and 2021
- 10% reduction in proceeds from used car sales in 2020 and 2021
Historically the greatest reduction in our sales proceeds on a per vehicle basis was just over 7% in the 2009 financial crisis compared to the pre-crisis levels.
Based on the assumptions made by the Group, even with these severe stressed assumptions no need for impairment of goodwill has been identified.
The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations in 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
| Discount Factor | Discount Factor | Perpetuity rate (2020 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | and 2019) | |
| France | 9,10% | 9,20% | 2,00% |
| Germany | 9,80% | 9,20% | 2,00% |
| Italy | 9,10% | 9,20% | 2,00% |
| Spain | 9,10% | 9,20% | 2,00% |
| UK | 9,10% | 9,20% | 2,00% |
| Ireland | 10,01% | 9,20% | 2,00% |
| Benelux | 9,10% | 9,20% | 2,00% |

ALD continues to retain substantially all of the risks and rewards of the lease receivables as in all asset-backed securitisation programmes they subscribed to the first class of notes which will result in ALD bearing any realised losses. Therefore, ALD continues to recognise the transferred lease receivables in their entirety for a present value of EUR 1,429 million and a net book value of EUR 1,351 million at June 30, 2020. The transferred lease receivables cannot be sold.
At June 30, 2020, the accounting value of the associated liabilities is GBP 414 million in the UK, EUR 360 million Belgium and EUR 236 million in the Netherlands.
NOTE 16. OTHER NON-CURRENT AND CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS

| Total | 767.0 | 795.5 |
Long-term investments are a resource resulting from the policy of the Group and of its main shareholder, Societe Generale, to monitor the Group's interest rate risk through the matching of assets and liabilities by maturity. Available equity is considered as a long term resource which needs to be matched with long-term assets (refer to Interest rate risks management in financial risk management section in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019). Equity reinvestments are made in long term amortising deposits within Societe Generale in order to remain within the interest rate sensitivity limit set for each entity (variation in the net present value of the future residual fixed rate positions, surplus or deficit, for a 1% parallel increase in the yield curve). These deposits will roll-out in approximately 6 years' time and will not be renewed.
NOTE 17. RECEIVABLES FROM CLIENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

NOTE 19. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
This note provides an update on the measurement of financial assets and liabilities as well as on the judgements and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report.
To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group classifies its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level follows underneath the tables.
The following tables present the Group's financial assets and liabilities recognition and measurement and their fair values at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 on a recurring basis.

The Group analyses financial assets and liabilities by various valuation methods. The different levels have been defined as follows:
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
Derivative financial instruments - 6.3 28.9 35.1 35.1 Level 2 Trade payables 778.6 - - 778.6 778.6 Level 2
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is measured at amortised cost, except for receivables for which fair value is deemed to be the nominal amount.

Financial instruments in level 1
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 1 comprise primarily cash and cash equivalents and long-term investments (please refer to note 16 "Other non-current and current financial assets")
Financial instruments in level 2
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;
- The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves;
- The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value;
- Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the period. There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.
The Group did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as at June 30, 2020.

External funding
Local external groups and third parties provide 30% of total funding, representing EUR 5,342 million at June 30, 2020 (32% and EUR 5,826 million at December 31, 2019).
An amount of EUR 780 million or 4% of total funding is provided by external groups. The residual external funding (EUR 4,562 million) has been raised through asset-backed securitisations and unsecured bonds.
EMTN programme
The Group is engaged in a Euro Medium Term Notes (EMTN) programme. The EMTN programme limit is set at EUR 6 billion for the aggregate nominal amount of notes outstanding at any one time. An application has been

filed with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in order for the notes issued under the programme to be listed on the official list and admitted to trading on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The programme is rated BBB by Standard & Poor's and BBB+ by Fitch ratings services. The programme has been downgraded due to Société Générale's decreased capacity to provide extraordinary funding to ALD Group and downgrading of Société Générale itself respectively.
Over the course of H1 2020, EUR 400 million of bonds matured and were not refinanced in the context of limited funding needs in 2020 due to contract extensions and limited funded fleet growth.
Societe Generale funding
The Group has raised external funding in recent years. The level of funding raised through Societe Generale has slightly increased to 70% as at June 30, 2020 compared to 68% as at December 31, 2019.
Most of the funding provided by the SG group is granted through Societe Generale Bank and Trust (SGBT) based in Luxemburg. SGBT provides funds to the ALD Group Central Treasury which then grants loans in different currencies to 19 ALD subsidiaries as well as to the holding companies. The total amount of loans granted by SGBT amounted to EUR 9,119 million at June 30, 2020 (EUR 8,598 million at December 31, 2019) with an average maturity of 1.88 years.
The remaining SG funding is provided either by local SG branches or SG Group Central Treasury in Paris, representing EUR 3,444 million at June 30, 2020 (EUR 3,972 million at December 31, 2019).
At June 30, 2020 the Group has undrawn borrowing facilities of EUR 2.4 billion (EUR 2.8 billion at December 31, 2019). Providing there is a market liquidity, these facilities are readily available to ALD entities.
