● FY 2020/21 forecasts are based on Alstom's scope of consolidation at the end of September 2020, therefore exclude any scope impacts from the expected Bombardier Transportation acquisition. They are mainly based on the following assumptions:
Bombardier Transportation transaction status
H1 2020/21 financial results
Order intake €2.7bn €3.5bn Sales 7.5% aEBIT margin €(253)m FCF
Strong support shown by governments to local rail operators¹
Confirmed long term rail investment plans
Massive government packages in favour of sustainable mobility
Shift from air to rail accelerating²
€672bn Resilience and Recovery instrument earmarked to climate neutrality investments
• €86bn of spending for rail confirmed despite Covid-19 crisis
INVEST Act includes \$60bn funding for rail
1 Germany: DB will receive €5.5 billion as part of the recovery plan; UK: Go-Ahead and FirstGroup get extensions to Covid rail bail-outs in Sep 2020; Canada: \$600M made available to Toronto Transit Commission 2 France: possible ban on airplanes connections served by train in less than 2h30, Austria Airline: replacing Vienna – Salzburg flights with a train service; 3 UNIFE Market Study 2020, central scenario (V-shape)
● Recovery of train operations, execution of growing near term backlog
● Remaining Covid-19 impact compensated by execution of growing near term backlog

1 Revised price range between €5.5 - €5.9 bn. Preliminary contractual purchase price estimated at €5.3bn, after taking into account estimated potential post-closing adjustments and obligations linked to Bombardier Transportation's net cash protection mechanism. The final purchase price amount will be determined on the basis of Bombardier Transportation's accounting books as of 31 December 2020 and as of the transaction completion date and of the mechanisms set forth in the acquisition agreement. 2 Subject to compliance with some commitments (see press release dated 31 July 2020)

1 The fiscal year 2020/21 outlook assumes the absence of Covid-19 crisis-related production slowdowns, arising from partial or full lockdown situations, that would exceed the lockdown measures in place on the date of this document and affecting either Alstom or key suppliers. Also relating to the Covid-19 environment, they assume that customer tendering schedules will not materially shift after the second semester and that train mileage for purposes of calculating indexed payments under maintenance contracts will not decrease very significantly during the remainder of the second semester ; 2 Subject to the usual short-term volatility in the timing of receipt of down payments and milestone payments owed by customers; 3 The objective of a 5% average annual growth rate over the period from 2019/20 to 2022/23 should be slightly impacted by the temporary slowdown of tender activity, yet the 2022/23 objectives of 9% aEBIT margin and of a conversion from net income to free cash flow above 80% are confirmed (AiM targets set on an Alstom standalone basis)

1 Due to IFRS 16 implementation on 1 April 2019, the Group has chosen to exclude lease obligations from the net cash/(debt). As of September 30 2020, impact of the leasing obligations in financial debt amounts to €406M€
Equity
A new order is recognised as an order received only when the contract creates enforceable obligations between the Group and its customer. When this condition is met, the order is recognised at the contract value. If the contract is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting unit, the Group requires the immediate elimination of currency exposure using forward currency sales. Orders are then measured using the spot rate at inception of hedging instruments.
Order backlog represents sales not yet recognised from orders already received. Order backlog at the end of a financial year is computed as follows:
The order backlog is also subject to changes in the scope of consolidation, contract price adjustments and foreign currency translation effects.
Order backlog corresponds to the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations, as per IFRS 15 quantitative and qualitative disclosures requirement.
The book-to-bill ratio is the ratio of orders received to the amount of sales traded for a specific period.
Starting September 2019, Alstom has opted for the inclusion of the share in net income of the equity-accounted investments into the aEBIT when these are considered to be part of the operating activities of the Group (because there are significant operational flows and/or common project execution with these entities), namely the CASCO Joint Venture. The company believes that bringing visibility over a key contributor to the Alstom signalling strategy will provide a fairer and more accurate picture of the overall commercial & operational performance of the Group. This change will also enable more comparability with what similar market players define as being part of their main non-GAAP profit aggregate disclosure.
aEBIT corresponds to Earning Before Interests and Tax adjusted for the following elements:
capital gains or loss/revaluation on investments disposals or controls changes of an entity;
any other non-recurring items, such as some costs incurred to realize business combinations and amortization of an asset exclusively valued in the context of business combination, as well as litigation costs that have arisen outside the ordinary course of business;
and including the share in net income of the operational equity-accounted investments
A non-recurring item is a "one-off" exceptional item that is not supposed to occur again in following years and that is significant. Adjusted EBIT margin corresponds to Adjusted EBIT expressed as a percentage of sales.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures including capitalised development costs, net of proceeds from disposals of tangible and intangible assets. In particular, free cash flow does not include any proceeds from disposals of activity.
The most directly comparable financial measure to free cash flow calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS is net cash provided by operating activities.
The net cash/(debt) is defined as cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other current financial asset, less borrowings
