The Bouygues group reported consolidated sales of €15.2 billion in the first half of 2013, down 2% year-on-year. Current operating profit amounted to €356 million, down €120 million on the first half of 2012, and net profit to €188 million, down €90 million on the first half of 2012. These figures are still impacted by the decline in profitability in the first quarter of 2013 and are not indicative of the Group's expected full-year performance.
In a still-challenging economic environment, especially in Europe, order books continued to run at a high level, standing at €27.3 billion. This figure is down €1.3 billion, or 5%, on end-June 2012 but up €2 billion, or 8%, on end-June 2011 and does not yet include a number of recent major contracts, notably the Tuen Mun-Chek Lap Kok tunnel in Hong Kong, worth €1.15 billion.
This resilience of order books is the result of a strong and selective presence on international markets and recognised know-how in complex projects.
At Bouygues Construction, order intake amounted to €5.1 billion in the first half of 2013, compared with €6.9 billion in the first half of 2012, a figure which included €2.1 billion from major contracts worth more than €600 million1 each. The order book at end-June 2013 stood at €16.9 billion, giving good visibility for future activity.
At Bouygues Immobilier, first-half residential property reservations rose 3% year-on-year to €752 million in a market expected to shrink in 2013. In a sluggish market, commercial property reservations amounted to €203 million in the first half of the year. The order book at end-June 2013 stood at €2.8 billion, representing 14 months of sales.
At Colas, the order book at end-June 2013 stood at €7.6 billion and does not yet include the project for Morocco's first high-speed rail line, worth €124 million. The order book remains at a high level and gives good visibility for the second half of the year.

TF1 and Bouygues Telecom showed resilience in a highly competitive environment
TF1's four freeview channels achieved an audience share of 29.0%1 in the first six months of 2013, a year-on-year improvement of 0.6 points. The TF1 TV channel took 22.9% of the audience, 0.2 points better than in the first half of 2012. In an expanded freeview TV market which now numbers 25 channels, TF1 was the only major broadcaster to improve its audience share.
At Bouygues Telecom, B&YOU continued to grow, gaining 523,000 new customers in the first half of 2013 to give a base of 1,601,000 customers at end-June 2013. The plan subscriber base increased by 374,000 new customers, bringing the total base to 9,802,000. The total mobile customer base stabilised at 11,286,000 at end-June 2013.
On the fixed broadband market, Bouygues Telecom gained 55,000 new customers in the first half of 2013 to give a total of 1.9 million customers2 .

The Bouygues group is continuing to implement adaptation plans in its various business areas. These efforts are bearing fruit, enabling the Group to improve its profitability in the second quarter of 2013.
TF1 has achieved €31 million of recurrent savings since 30 June 2012, out of a planned €85 million by the end of 2014 under phase II of its optimisation plan.
At Bouygues Telecom, the far-reaching transformation under way since early 2012 has been stepped up in 2013. The company has embarked on an overhaul of its business model in order to cope with market upheaval. With a change in the way plans are marketed and a reduction in operating costs, overall costs in the mobile business in the first half of 2013 were €282 million lower than in the first half of 2011. Total savings of €339 million have been made on mobile costs since the end of 2011. The transformation plan target of €400 million will therefore be exceeded. Bouygues Telecom is also repositioning its products and services in order to differentiate the company from its competitors and revitalise growth. The launch of 4G on 1 October offers the company a very good opportunity to retake the leadership in terms of innovation on the mobile market.

1Bouygues Construction, Bouygues Immobilier and Colas
The construction businesses posted a robust financial performance in the first half of 2013, reporting consolidated sales of €11.7 billion, up 2% on the first half of 2012, and a current operating profit of €210 million, virtually the same as a year earlier.
Bouygues Construction reported operating profit of €202 million in the first half of 2013, up €39 million on the first half of 2012, reflecting good execution of ongoing projects. Operating profit at Bouygues Immobilier was stable at €84 million. In the first half of 2013, the decline in the operating margin was limited to 0.5 points at 7.3% thanks to the adaptation measures taken in 2012. Colas reported an operating loss of €76 million in the first half of 2013, €42 million more than in the first half of 2012, mainly due to very unfavourable weather conditions in the first half, especially in mainland France and North America.
TF1 reported sales of €1.2 billion in the first half of 2013, down 7%, and operating profit of €71 million, €63 million down on the first half of 2012. Current operating profit rose by €9 million in the second quarter of 2013 despite a €30-million drop in sales, giving an operating margin of 13.5% against 11.6% in the second quarter of 2012, a year-on-year improvement of 1.9 points.
Bouygues Telecom reported total sales of €2,287 million in the first half of 2013, down 15% on the first half of 2012, and sales from network of €2,113 million, down 11%. The greater-than-expected fall in sales was due to a moderate commercial performance and the growing share of SIM-only sales. Thanks to the effectiveness of the savings plan and a reduction in marketing costs, EBITDA amounted to €257 million in the second quarter of 2013 and fell by only €6 million in relation to 2012. It reached €469 million in the first half of 2013, down €90 million on the previous year.
Group free cash flow1 in the first half of 2013 amounted to €152 million, down €258 million on the first half of 2012. The decline reflects the lower results and the postponement of Alstom's general meeting, which approves the dividend, from 26 June in 2012 to 2 July in 2013. The Group's net capital expenditure² in the first half of 2013 amounted to €596 million, equivalent to the level in 2012.
Net debt amounted to €5.8 billion at end-June 2013, down €457 million in relation to end-June 2012. This is due to tight control of net debt despite the fall in first-half results and asset disposals3 at end-2012 of €426 million. Net gearing improved by six points to 60%. The Group has a high level of liquidity (€6.9 billion) after the redemption of a €709-million bond issue in May 2013.

3 Disposal of 20% stake in Eurosport and the theme channels at TF1 as well as divestment of tower business and 3 data centres at Bouygues Telecom
Bouygues Telecom has revised its sales target for 2013 downwards from the previously announced €4.85 billion to €4.6 billion in order to take account of strong growth in SIM-only sales and a moderate commercial performance in the first half of 2013.
Order books in the construction businesses secure their sales targets for 2013.
Depending on final sales figure of the construction businesses, the Group's consolidated sales could range between €33.2 billion, down 1% on 2012, and €33.4 billion, stable in relation to 2012.
The Group's business areas are continuing to implement their adaptation plans. Thanks to the effectiveness of its transformation plan, Bouygues Telecom is able to confirm its objective for 2013 of stabilising EBITDA at €900 million and improving its "EBITDA minus Capex" item.
In keeping with the second quarter of 2013, profitability should improve in the second half of 2013, meaning that 2012 should mark the low point in the Bouygues group's profitability.

Overall, demand for building and civil works remains high, driven by considerable infrastructure needs in both emerging and developed countries.
At Bouygues Construction, the building and civil works activity generated €4,530 million, of which €2,394 million in France and €2,136 million on international markets.
France: €2,394 million, up 10%
Bouygues Construction's building activity thrived, driven by major amenity projects booked in 2011, such as the French Ministry of Defence in the Balard district of Paris, the Paris Zoological Park, the Beaugrenelle shopping centre and the Paris Philharmonic Hall, and in 2012, such as the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome and renovation of the Ritz Hotel in Paris.
Commercial activity was sustained by private-sector orders in particular, notably the Éole office complex in Montrouge, south of Paris, the order for which was booked in early 2013, and Les Saisons shopping centre in Meaux, to the east of Paris, the order for which was booked in May 2013. A contract was signed in July 2013 for a public-private partnership project to build a music complex on the Île Seguin in Boulogne-Billancourt.
Elsewhere in France, Bouygues Construction's five regional building subsidiaries held up well in a depressed economic environment. The construction of amenities helped to cushion the decline in activity, with demand for public healthcare infrastructure playing an important part (Orléans, Amiens-Picardie and Belfort Montbéliard hospitals). Orders have been taken for the Incity tower in Lyon and for four secondary schools in the Loiret département in central France in the framework of a public-private partnership.
In civil works, an order was taken for work package 3 of the South Europe-Atlantic high-speed rail line.
Europe (excluding France): €891 million, up 3%
In Switzerland, demand remained strong, especially on the housing market. Bouygues Construction took advantage of its expertise in putting together complex property development projects: the company won contracts in the first half of 2013 to build two more eco-neighbourhoods in Basel and in Lenzburg.
In the UK, business was sustained by housing, as illustrated by the order for the University of Hertfordshire campus, booked in the first half of 2013.
In Eastern Europe, a number of well-established local subsidiaries in Poland and the Czech Republic continued to expand their building activities.
Elsewhere in Europe, Bouygues Construction is also involved on a one-off basis in major infrastructure projects, notably the new confinement shelter for the damaged nuclear reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine, which is being built in partnership with Vinci.
International (excluding Europe): €1,245 million, up 2%
In Asia-Pacific, Bouygues Construction has strong local operations, notably in Hong Kong, Singapore and Turkmenistan. In Hong Kong, activity was sustained by major projects begun in 2011, including the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal building and two sections of the rail tunnel for the Hong Kong to Guangzhou high-speed rail link. Construction work started on the section of the giant bridge linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, and on the Trade & Industry Tower, the orders for both of which were booked in 2012.
In Singapore, several major residential complexes are under construction and an order for a new condominium was booked at the end of the first half of 2013. In Bangkok, the company started work on three residential towers and on the Mahanakhon tower which, on handover in 2015, will be the highest in the Thai capital. In Myanmar, Bouygues Construction won the contract for the second phase of a major residential complex in Rangoon, the company's first project in the country.
In Singapore, work continued on the SportsHub, the world's largest sports-related public-private partnership project. In Australia, work started in 2013 on a tunnel and new railway lines in the west of Sydney.
In Turkmenistan, activity was sustained by ongoing work on projects booked in 2011, including a turnkey five-star hotel and the Finance Ministry. In early 2013, Bouygues Construction took orders for the Congress Centre in the capital, Ashgabat.
In Africa, Bouygues Construction's building and civil engineering firms work together on major infrastructure projects. In Equatorial Guinea, the company continued to build a two-lane motorway linking Bata to the east of the country. In Morocco, work continued on the second container port in Tangier. In Ivory Coast, the company continued work on the Riviera Marcory bridge in Abidjan, one of the first concessions in West Africa. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, operations started at the Kibali gold mine.
In the Middle East, Bouygues Construction continued work on the Qatar Petroleum District in Doha, a vast complex that includes nine high-rise office buildings.
Activity in the Americas/Caribbean region continued to grow rapidly. Bouygues Construction has longterm operations in Cuba, where the company started construction work on a series of luxury hotels and took an order for a new hotel complex in the first half of 2013. In the United States, work continued on the Miami port tunnel within the framework of a 35-year public-private partnership. In Canada, the company started work on a set of sporting facilities in Ontario for the 2015 Pan American Games.
Growing demand for energy-efficient green buildings and fast-growing telecommunications needs provide sources of growth for Bouygues Construction, both in its main existing markets (France, the UK, Switzerland and Canada) and in emerging countries, especially in Africa.
In France, the market is very concentrated. Short-term uncertainties remain, due to pressure on central and local government budgets and the difficulty in raising private finance. The situation is aggravated by fierce price competition.
Bouygues Energies & Services contributed €702 million to Bouygues Construction's consolidated sales, 8% less than in the first half of 2012.
France: €507 million, down 6%
Bouygues Energies & Services' facilities management subsidiary will maintain and operate the French Ministry of Defence, the Paris law courts complex, the Cité Municipale in Bordeaux, the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome and, for 20 years, four secondary schools in the Loiret département in central France, the order for which was booked in the first half of 2013.
International: €195 million, down 13%
In Thailand, in April 2013 Bouygues Energies & Services won a contract in partnership with the company's construction subsidiary in the country to build three photovoltaic solar power plants and operate and maintain them for five years.
In a still-challenging economic environment, Bouygues Construction has set its sales target for 2013 at €10.75 billion, 1% higher than in 2012.
Order intake in 2013 is likely to continue at a high level, due in particular to two major contracts won in the first half of the year, for the Congress Centre in Turkmenistan and the Éole office building in Montrouge, near Paris, and an order in July for the Tuen Mun – Chek Lap Hok subsea road tunnel in Hong Kong worth €1.15 billion.
Bouygues Construction enjoys good visibility, backed up by:
Tight control over the execution of major projects, a selective approach to orders in the face of competitive pressure and obtaining financing for future projects will continue to be key priorities for Bouygues Construction in 2013.

After an 18% drop in new housing sales in 2012, the market fell by a further 3% in the first quarter of 2013. Interest rates remain at an all-time low but government measures to stimulate the market have been slow to show their effectiveness. As a result, the number of reservations in 2013 is expected to run at around 75-80,000* compared with 86,200 in 2012, a fall of between 7% and 13%.
In the commercial segment, take-up fell by 22% in the first half of 2013.
In these unfavourable circumstances, Bouygues Immobilier achieved sales of €1,143 million in the first half of 2013, 7% higher than in the first half of 2012, reflecting the company's commercial performance in 2010 and 2011. Sales were up sharply in the commercial segment, rising by 80%, and remained stable in the residential segment.
As a result of the promotional measures needed to support the sell-off of residential programmes, the operating margin amounted to 7.3%, slightly lower than in 2012.

Residential property reservations in the first half of 2013 rose 4% in comparison with the first half of 2012. This slight increase in a falling market was due to the resilience of unit reservations, especially from first-time buyers, and a rise in block sales. The Duflot tax incentive scheme has been slow to make headway as investors wait to find out the precise conditions attached to the measures (zoning and rent restrictions).
In the commercial property segment, Bouygues Immobilier outperformed a still-challenging market. The company took commercial reservations worth €203 million in the first half of 2013, including the sale of a hotel and an office building in Saint Denis, to the north of Paris, for €44 million (13,400 m²), the conclusion of a €115 million development contract for La Mondiale (41,500 m²) in Issy-les-Moulineaux under the Rehagreen® initiative, and the sale of La Fabrique in Bordeaux (11,500 m²) to ANF for €9 million. Having won a competition in Clichy Batignolles, to the north-west of Paris, Bouygues Immobilier will develop 15,800 m² of office space and 1,200 m² of retail and service space there.

In a residential property market expected to decline in 2013, Bouygues Immobilier's reservations should benefit from flourishing sales to first-time buyers and good block sales business.
With the growing recognition of green value, Bouygues Immobilier has a solid position in the commercial property market: its highly efficient Green Office® buildings and its Rehagreen® rehabilitation services package meet the requirements of users and investors.

Activity in the roads business was adversely affected by unfavourable weather conditions in the first half of the year.
In the Rest of the World, sales were up 2% on the first half of 2012. Growth in French overseas départements and in Asia/Australia was sufficient to offset a decline in Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Sales in the first half of 2013 were up 11%, though the overall rise masks differences between business areas: strong growth in the railway business, up 32%, a 16% rise in sales of refined oil products, linked to the end on 1 January 2013 of a processing contract with Total, which marketed 40% of SRD's production, a similar level of activity to the first half of 2012 in the waterproofing and pipeline businesses and a 7% fall in road safety/signalling.
A significant proportion of Colas' activity, both in France and abroad, consists in the production of construction materials, especially aggregates, from an international network of 736 quarries and gravel pits, 567 asphalt plants, 138 emulsion plants and 212 ready-mix concrete plants. 44.3 million tonnes of aggregates (6% less than in the first half of 2012), 14 million tonnes of asphalt mix (down 10%), 717,000 tonnes of binders and emulsions (up 6%) and 1.27 million cubic metres of ready-mix concrete (down 5%) were produced in the first half of 2013.
Colas reported a current operating loss of €76 million at 30 June 2013, compared with €34 million at 30 June 2012.
Mostly due to unfavourable weather conditions in France, Europe and North America in comparison with the first half of 2012, the current operating loss therefore increased by €42 million.
The net loss attributable to the Group at 30 June 2013 amounted to €32 million, €13 million more than in the first half of 2012. First-half results are of limited significance given the seasonal nature of Colas' activities.
Net debt at 30 June 2013 stood at €1,142 million. The change in relation to 31 December 2012 (net debt of €170 million) reflects the usual seasonal nature of the business. It may be compared to a figure of €1,074 million at end-June 2012. The year-on-year change mainly reflects the effect on the working capital requirement of the inclusion of 100% of the refining activity in France.
The order book at end-June 2013 stood at €7.6 billion, 4% down on end-June 2012. Comprising €4 billion in mainland France, down 2%, and €3.6 billion on international and overseas markets, down 5%, it did not include Colas Rail's €124-million contract for the Tangier-Kenitra high-speed rail line.
The order book remains at a high level, 5% higher than at end-June 2011, and gives good visibility for the second half of the year.
Roads
Provided that good weather prevails, especially at the end of the year, it should be possible to make up all or some of the lag in activity in mainland France and North America.
Sales in Europe and the Rest of the World are unlikely to vary significantly, with continuing growth in the Asia/Australia region offsetting a decline in Africa and the Indian Ocean.
Specialty activities will continue to grow. In the railway business, growth will be driven by a high level of orders, while sales of refined oil products will increase automatically following the end of the processing contract2 under which 40% of SRD's3 . output reverted to Total.
On the basis of currently available data, the sales target for 2013, drawn up in February and confirmed in May, remains unchanged at €13.2 billion, 1% more than in 2012.

The TF1 group reported consolidated sales of €1,208 million over the first six months of 2013, a year-onyear decline of 7.2%.
This figure comprises:
Operating profit for the first half of 2013 amounted to €70.8 million, €63.1 million less than in the first half of 2012, representing a fall of 47.1%. Group current operating profit in the first half of 2012 was boosted by non-recurring revenue of €27 million in connection with a claim for reimbursement of CNC taxes.
Group operating profit in the second quarter of 2013 amounted to €86.5 million, up €8.6 million on the second quarter of 2012. The adaptation measures taken by the group thus enabled it to improve its operating result over the period against a background of falling revenue. The operating margin for the second quarter of 2013 improved to 13.5%, compared with 11.6% in the second quarter of 2012.
Net profit attributable to the Group for the first half of 2012 amounted to €42.1 million, compared with €93.5 million for the first half of 2012.
The TF1 group became France's leading freeview television group in terms of audience share, ahead of the public service broadcaster, with TF1, TMC, NT1 and HD1 posting an aggregate audience share of 29.0% among individuals aged four years and over, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%.
MYTF1 innovated with Connect, a new experience of television synchronised with a second screen (smartphone, tablet or PC). Launched as part of the new season of The Voice, Connect marks an important milestone in the TF1 group's digital development.
At end-June 2013, the group's four freeview channels took an aggregate audience share of 29.0% of individuals aged four years and over, an increase of 0.6 points (2.1%) on the first half of 2012. Among women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers, the aggregate audience share amounted to 32.5%, compared with 32.0% in the first half of 2012, a rise of 1.6%.
Over the first six months of 2013, TF1 was the only major incumbent channel to increase its audience share among individuals aged four years and over, taking 22.9% of the audience, up 0.2 pts, and increasing its lead over its rivals. The channel won 24 of the top 25 audience ratings over the period and was the only channel to draw an audience of more than 9 million viewers. The channel also has an incomparable position among women under 50 who are purchasing decisionmakers, with a 25.2% share of this audience.
TMC and NT1 held up well against a background of fiercer competition, taking 3.5% and 2.1% respectively of the audience of individuals aged four years and over. TMC confirmed its status as the fifth most-watched nationwide channel, while NT1 increased its share of the audience of women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers. HD1 confirmed its successful launch as leader of the six new HD channels launched in late 2012, taking 0.5% of the audience of individuals aged four years and over.
Advertising revenue from the TF1 group's freeview channels in the first half of 2013 amounted to €728.4 million, a year-on-year decline of 8.8%. The fall was mainly due to the combined effects of a particularly depressed economic environment and fiercer competition on the TV market, generating price pressure.
e-TF1 continued to make progress and to innovate during the first half of 2013, launching MYTF1 Connect and a new version of the MYTF1News website. Online video on MYTF1.fr again posted very good performances. The TF1 group ranks amongst France's leading media group in terms of time spent watching videos, alongside the top global players.
Advertising revenue from other media was up 5.8% at end-June 2013.
Non-advertising revenue from broadcasting amounted to €44.0 million at end-June 2013, a rise of 9.2%, driven by an increase in interactivity revenue at e-TF1.
Total broadcasting revenue in the first half of 2013 thus amounted to €814.1 million, a year-onyear decline of 7.3%.
At end-June 2013, the cost of programmes shown on group channels, including the launch of HD1, amounted to €491.5 million, a year-on-year decline of €19.8 million.
Stripping out sporting events, the cost of programmes was virtually stable at end-June 2013 (up €2.0 million), with the cost of strengthening schedules on TMC and NT1 and the launch of HD1 having been offset by savings at the TF1 channel.
Operating profit from broadcasting activities amounted to €28.6 million at end-June 2013, compared with €90.3 million a year earlier, profitability having been dented by the fall in freeview channel advertising revenue.
b. Content
TF1 Droits Audiovisuels saw a decline in activity in the first half of 2013, hit by lower revenue from cinema releases. Six films were released in the first half of 2013, compared with eight in the first half of 2012.
TF1 Production performed well.
TF1 Films Production coproduced 13 cinema releases in the first half of 2013, compared with nine in the first half of 2012.
Content sales thus amounted to €30.1 million, a year-on-year increase of 1.7%. Current operating profit rose to €2.7 million at end-June 2013, compared with €1.5 million a year earlier.
TF1 Vidéo posted sales of €29.9 million at end-June 2013, compared with €46 million at end-June 2012. The decline was almost entirely due to the success of Intouchables, released on video in the first quarter of 2012.
Operating profit from the video activity amounted to €2.7 million, up €1.4 million. Current operating profit in the first half of 2012 included the contribution of Intouchables, but this was partly offset by restructuring costs related to the job-saving plan.
Téléshopping generated sales of €48.4 million in the first half of 2013, compared with €56.5 million a year earlier, a fall of 14.3% against a background of sluggish household consumption.
Operating profit in the first quarter of 2013 amounted to €0.4 million, down €6.6 million, reflecting the decline in activity.
TF1 Entreprises posted sales of €22.3 million in the first six months of 2013, 28.2% up on the first six months of the previous year.
TF1 Entreprises posted operating profit of €1.7 million, up €0.1 million on the first half of 2012.
Against the background of an expanding choice of freeview channels, pay channels in France took an audience share of 11.0% in the first half of 2013, a year-on-year fall of 0.4 points. TF1 group pay theme channels generated sales of €39.3 million in the first half of 2013, 11.3% less than in the first half of 2012. Sales were affected by a €5.0-million drop in advertising revenue.
Pay channels made an operating loss of €1.6 million in the first half of 2013, €0.5 million more than at the same time in the previous year. However, the loss was limited by an improvement in the cost base, especially at LCI.
The Eurosport group saw its first-half sales dip by €5.5 million, or 2.4%, to €219.5 million. The fall was mainly due to a year-on-year decline in advertising revenue caused by different seasonal factors in 2013 compared with 2012, when the channel broadcast the London Olympic Games. The first half of 2012 was also boosted by screening of the UEFA Euro 2012 soccer tournament.
Operating profit rose by €3.9 million to €30.7 million as a result of cost controls in the first half of 2013. Eurosport significantly improved its profitability, posting an operating margin of 14.0% in the first half of 2013, compared with 11.9% a year earlier. The Eurosport group's operating margin rose to a record 23.8% in the second quarter of 2013, compared with 18.4% a year earlier.
The TF1 group continued to adjust to the new economic and competitive environment in the first half of 2013. The group confirmed its forecast of full-year consolidated sales of €2,500 million.
In compliance with its commitments, the group continued to step up implementation of phase II of its optimisation plan, which aims to generate recurrent savings of €85 million by the end of 2014. The group is also taking specific measures to make further savings in 2013.
The group's capacity to continue adapting its business model in 2013 was reflected in the second quarter by an improvement in current operating profit despite a decline in sales. The group generated positive cash flow in the first six months of the year, strengthening its financial structure.
The TF1 group will focus on five priorities in the second half of the year:

(*) Before investment in 4G frequencies (€687 million)
Competitive pressure increased further in the early part of the year, especially for plans with services, as competitors initiated a round of significant price cuts. In this context, Bouygues Telecom posted sales of €2,287 million in the first half of 2013, down 15% on the first half of 2012. This greater-than-expected drop was due to a reduction in both sales from network and handset sales, linked to the growing share of SIM-only plan sales.
Sales from network amounted to €2,113 million, 11% less than a year previously. Stripping out the effect of call termination charges4 , the 6% decline in relation to 2012 was due to ongoing repricing of retail plans5 (72% at end-June 2013, compared with 27% at end-June 2012) and to moderate commercial performances in the first half of 2013.
Half-year EBITDA was down €90 million on the first half of 2012, though only €5 million in the second quarter, due to a greater-than-expected reduction in commercial costs and to the savings plan launched in early 2012, which delivered more savings than initially estimated.
Free cash flow in the first half of 2013 was a negative €22 million, excluding the impact of 4G frequencies. This was €112 million lower than in the first half of 2012 due to a rise in investment, attributable to the rollout of 4G and purchases of routers for the fixed broadband business, and lower cash flow due to the fall in EBITDA.
4 From 1 July 2013, there is no longer any call termination differential between mobile operators.
5 Number of retail plan customers benefiting from a service repriced since January 2012 in relation to the total retail plan customer base.
Bouygues Telecom had 11.3 million mobile customers at 30 June 2013. Bouygues Telecom's mobile customer base has been stable since the start of the year, sustained by the success of B&YOU, which had over 1.6 million customers at end-June, representing a year-on-year increase of more than a million customers.
Bouygues Telecom had 1.9 million fixed broadband customers at end-June, representing a net addition of 55,000 customers in the first half of 2013. This took place against a background of fiercer competition, with rivals launching promotional campaigns and 4P SoWo6 products, but also reflects Bouygues Telecom's desire to focus on cost optimisation. Bouygues Telecom had 320,000 very-high-speed7 customers at end-June 2013, twice as many as at end-June 2012.
In a still-turbulent business environment, Bouygues Telecom continued to transform itself and to adapt its products and services to better meet market expectations.
There have been two major structural changes in the French mobile market in the last 18 months. Firstly, the fiercely competitive environment has resulted in a very swift contraction in market value and, secondly, the business model is being transformed due to the strong growth in SIM-only plans.
In this context, the far-reaching transformation implemented by Bouygues Telecom since the start of 2012 has been stepped up in 2013 around the two following priorities:
6 SimOnly/WebOnly
7 Arcep defines very-high-speed fixed subscriptions as those with a peak download speed of 30 Mbits/s or more.
There has been a structural shift in the mobile market with a concomitant surge in sales of SIM-only plans which have had a negative impact on revenues. However, the effect on EBITDA can be limited if the decline in sales is matched with a reduction in subsidies and therefore in marketing costs.
Bouygues Telecom has adapted quickly. Measures taken in 2012, such as the expansion of B&YOU, the disposal of Extenso Telecom and a rapid withdrawal from competitive distribution, helped to stabilise net mobile revenue and mobile commercial costs from early 2013.
b. Cost reductions
The transformation plan launched in 2012 has had better-than-expected results, generating savings of €339 million on mobile costs since the end of 2011. The revised transformation plan target of savings of €400 million in the mobile activity by end-2013 will therefore be exceeded.
Costs in the fixed activity have also continued to fall since the end of 2012, helping to improve the segment's contribution to overall results.
c. The negotiations with SFR
The negotiations with SFR with a view to reaching an agreement to share a part of the mobile networks pave the way to sharing costs and optimising the quality of the mobile network.
On 14 March, Arcep, the French telecommunications regulator, authorised Bouygues Telecom to refarm the 1800 MHz frequency band for 4G from 1 October. On that date, Bouygues Telecom customers will instantly benefit from a nationwide 4G network covering 40% of the population.
Bouygues Telecom aims to make 4G accessible to all users, by allowing customers the freedom to choose how they pay for their handsets and by launching its new Sensation 4G plans with generous data packages for heavy users.
On a market which is continuing to experience structural change, the moderate first-half commercial performances resulted in a greater-than-expected fall in sales from network and handsets. Consequently, Bouygues Telecom has trimmed €250 million from its previous 2013 sales forecast, setting a new figure of €4,600 million.
As the savings plan has been more effective than expected, absorbing the effects of the fall in sales from network on EBITDA, Bouygues Telecom confirms its forecast of EBITDA of €900 million and of an improvement in the "EBITDA minus Capex" item for 2013.
Alstom, in which Bouygues has a 29.4% stake, is a world leader in power generation and transmission and rail transport infrastructure. Alstom Transport is the world's leading builder of high-speed and very-highspeed trains and among the leading suppliers of urban transport systems and regional trains. Alstom also provides turnkey power plants, equipment and related services for the production of electricity from all sources, including hydropower, nuclear, gas, coal and wind. It offers a vast range of power transmission solutions, especially smartgrids.
Alstom released its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013 on 7 May 2013. During FY2012/13, Alstom recorded sales of €20.3 billion and an operating profit of €1,463 million, giving an operating margin of 7.2%. Net profit amounted to €802 million, up 10% on the previous financial year's figure. Net profit rose despite higher restructuring charges, mainly in the Grid and Renewable Power businesses, thanks to higher operating profit and a positive contribution from the company's stake in Transmashholding (€68 million, compared with €32 million in FY2011/12). Order intake, at €23.8 billion, was 10% up on the previous financial year. Free cash flow turned positive, reaching €408 million over FY2012/13 after two years of negative flows.
Results in FY2012/13 reflected a solid commercial performance, with orders exceeding sales in each quarter. Business was particularly good in the fourth quarter, when new contracts worth €6.6 billion were booked. Sales, at €20.3 billion, rose 2% over the financial year as a whole.
Commercial activity was particularly buoyant in emerging countries: with considerably higher growth rates than in industrialised countries, they accounted for 50% of total order intake. The order book at 31 March 2013 stood at nearly €53 billion, representing about 31 months of sales.
Alstom continued to adapt to the geographical shift in demand during the year while taking major strides in technology and innovation. Alstom proved able to make the most of its international presence and focused in particular on strengthening its partnership strategy.
Research and development spending increased to €737 million during FY2012/13 in order to enable Alstom to strengthen its operations on thriving markets.
The shareholders' meeting on 2 July 2013 approved the payment of a dividend of €0.84 per share, 5% higher than the dividend in the previous year.
Alstom reported its sales for the first quarter of FY2013/14 (from 1 April to 30 June 2013) on 24 July 2013. The group took orders worth €4.1 billion over the period, 32% less than in the same period of the previous financial year. Sales were down 2% at €4.6 billion.
Thermal Power won orders worth €1.5 billion in the first quarter, including a substantial number of service contracts. Transport booked contracts worth €1.1 billion for numerous medium-sized projects. Grid took orders worth €0.9 billion, while Renewable Power more than doubled its order intake compared with the same period of the previous financial year, rising to €0.5 billion. Demand continued to be driven by emerging markets, which accounted for 42% of all the contracts booked during the first quarter.
The fall in sales in the first quarter of FY2013/14 compared with the same period in the previous financial year was due to a drop in organic sales at Thermal Power and Transport of 4% and 6% respectively. Organic sales were up 5% at Grid and 8% at Renewable Power.
The order book stood at €51 billion at 30 June 2013, representing 31 months of sales.
The market outlook for the Alstom group remains robust in the long term. In deteriorating economic conditions and a still-challenging competitive environment, however, Alstom expects annual organic sales growth to be modest. The operating margin should remain stable in FY2013/14 and improve thereafter, reaching around 8% in the two or three following financial years. Cash flow continues to be a priority and should remain positive in each of the next few years.
This report contains forward-looking statements. Those statements, which express targets based on current assessments and estimates, are subject to the risks and uncertainties described below.
The main risks and uncertainties that the Group could face in the second half of 2013 are similar to those described in the 2012 Registration Document (pages 129 to 154). However, the following information should be noted.
A non-profit association had brought appeals against various administrative instruments enabling Bouygues Construction to build the new Paris law courts complex. A Paris Administrative Court judgment of June 2013 dismissed all the appeals. However, the association has appealed the judgment.
In the context of judicial investigations of public procurement contracts in Quebec and the funding of political parties, a former senior executive and a former employee of Sintra, Colas Canada's subsidiary in Quebec, were indicted in May 2013. In the context of a commission of inquiry on public procurement in Quebec, the Charbonneau Commission, a former employee who left the company in 2000 asserted that some of Sintra's practices at the time were non-compliant. Sintra is assisting the Quebec authorities. At the same time, in accordance with the Colas group's ethics policy, wide-ranging investigation and prevention measures have been taken. After a formal review, the new Quebec authority responsible for keeping a register of companies authorised to bid for public procurement contracts in Quebec registered Sintra at the end of July.
Orange and Free have brought a number of appeals seeking to overturn a decision by Arcep, the French telecommunications regulator, dated 4 April 2013 whereby it acceded to Bouygues Telecom's request to lift the restrictions on use of its 1800 MHz frequencies. This will enable Bouygues Telecom to use those frequencies to operate a 4G network. An order of 11 July 2013 dismissed an initial petition filed by Free in expedited proceedings, seeking suspension of execution of the Arcep decision. The two appeals on the merits brought by Orange and Free will be considered by the Conseil d'État at a later date.
On 22 March 2013, when Bouygues Telecom obtained the lifting of restrictions on use of its 1800 MHz frequencies, the French government issued a decree increasing the fixed part of the licence fee associated with the use of 1800 MHz frequencies, multiplying that fixed part by 5.66. Bouygues Telecom has brought an appeal on the grounds of abuse of authority, seeking cancellation of the decree, which it considers to be unlawful in both French and European law.
No related-party transactions liable to materially affect Bouygues' financial situation or results were concluded in the first half of 2013. Likewise, no change to related-party transactions liable to materially affect Bouygues' financial situation or results occurred during that period. Under the terms of agreements approved by the Board of Directors and the Annual General Meeting, Bouygues provided services to its sub-groups, mainly in the areas of management, human resources, information systems and finance.
More detailed information about related-party transactions is given in Note 12 of the notes to the condensed consolidated first-half financial statement.
In early July 2013, a consortium comprising Bouygues Bâtiment Île-de-France, Sodexo, TF1 and OFI Intravia concluded a public-private partnership contract with the Hauts-de-Seine department local authority for a music complex on Île Seguin in Boulogne-Billancourt. The contract awarded to the consortium involves financing, designing and building the new cultural facility, as well as ensuring its artistic and commercial operation and its maintenance for 27 years. The value of the works will amount to €170 million.
In late July 2013, Bouygues Construction won a contract worth more than €100 million to renovate Hotel de Crillon on Place de la Concorde in central Paris. The project involves complete renovation of the 14,000-m² building.
On 22 July 2013, on the completion of preliminary talks Bouygues Telecom and SFR announced that they had agreed to enter into exclusive negotiations to define an agreement to share part of their mobile networks. The aim of both operators is to provide their respective customers with the best geographical coverage and the best quality service. Each operator would retain its own innovation capacity as well as complete commercial independence. Bouygues Telecom and SFR plan to conclude this strategic agreement before the end of the year. They will submit it in advance to the employee representative bodies of both companies for consultation and to Arcep, the French telecommunications regulator, for review.
In July, Alstom won a series of major contracts, amongst which a project to build a turnkey metro system for Riyadh in Saudi Arabia (Alstom's share is €1.2 billion) and contracts to supply equipment for hydroelectric power plants in Albania (€100 million), Quebec (€65 million) and Turkey (€100 million). In France, the French rail operator SNCF confirmed its order for 40 new examples of the TGV Euroduplex, Alstom's very high speed train. Finally, Alstom sold its ring motors production activities located in Spain to the ABB group.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Bouygues and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2013 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", a standard issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. Because they are condensed, these financial statements do not include all the information required under the standards issued by the IASB, and should be read in conjunction with the full-year financial statements of the Bouygues group for the year ended 31 December 2012.
They were prepared in accordance with the standards issued by the IASB as endorsed by the European Union and applicable as of 30 June 2013. These standards comprise International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee – previously the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), itself the successor body to the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC). The Group has not early adopted as of 30 June 2013 any standard or interpretation not endorsed by the European Union.
The financial statements are presented in millions of euros (unless otherwise indicated) and comprise:
The comparatives presented are from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, and from the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2012.
1,113 entities were consolidated at 30 June 2013, compared with 1,129 at 31 December 2012. The net reduction of 16 entities includes the deconsolidation of real estate partnerships and property companies on project completion (mainly in the construction segment), partly offset by newly-consolidated entities (acquisitions during 2013, and first-time consolidation of entities acquired by Colas at the end of 2012, in Australia and New Caledonia).

Consolidated sales for the first half of 2013 were €15,207 million, 2% lower than for the comparable period of 2012 (€15,505 million).
On 22 July 2013, Bouygues Telecom and SFR announced that they were in exclusive talks with a view to reaching an agreement to share part of their mobile networks. This strategic agreement, which Bouygues Telecom and SFR hope to complete before the end of 2013, will be subject to prior consultation with the employee representative bodies of the two companies and to review by the French Competition Authority and by Arcep.
The Bouygues group is a diversified industrial group, with operations in more than 80 countries.
The Group's activities are organised into a number of business areas:
The consolidated financial statements of the Bouygues group include the financial statements of Bouygues SA and its subsidiaries, and investments in associates and joint ventures. They are presented in millions of euros, which is the Group's functional and reporting currency, and take account of the recommendations on presentation (Recommendation 2009-R-03) issued on 2 July 2009 by the Conseil National de la Comptabilité – CNC (now called Autorité des Normes Comptables – ANC), the French national accounting standard-setter.
They were adopted by the Board of Directors on 27 August 2013.
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2013 were prepared in accordance with IFRS using the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value where this is a requirement under IFRS. They include comparatives as at and for the year ended 31 December 2012 and the six months ended 30 June 2012.
The Bouygues group applied the same standards, interpretations and accounting policies for the six months ended 30 June 2013 as applied in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, except for changes required to meet new IFRS requirements applicable from 1 January 2013 as described below; these changes had no material impact on the financial statements.
amendment that occurred in 2005, net of the portion already amortised through profit or loss under IAS 19 as previously applied.
The table below shows the principal standards, amendments and interpretations that had been issued by the IASB prior to 30 June 2013 but have not yet come into effect:

• Elective accounting treatments and estimates used in the valuation of certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses
Preparing financial statements to comply with IFRS standards and interpretations requires the use of estimates and assumptions which may have affected the amounts reported for assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the amounts of income and expenses reported for the period.
These estimates and assumptions have been applied consistently on the basis of past experience and of various other factors regarded as reasonable forming the basis of assessments of the valuations of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates if different assumptions or conditions apply.
The main items involved are the impairment testing of goodwill and investments in other entities, share-based payment (stock options), employee benefits (lump-sum retirement benefits, pensions, etc.), the fair value of unlisted financial instruments, deferred tax assets, and provisions.
Where no standard or interpretation applies to specific transactions, events or conditions, Group management exercises its judgement to define and apply accounting policies that will provide relevant information that gives a fair presentation and is comparable between periods, such that the financial statements:
represent faithfully the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Group;
reflect the economic substance of the underlying transactions;
are neutral, prudent, and complete in all material respects.
Disclosures about judgements made by management are provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
• Full consolidation
Companies over which Bouygues exercises control are consolidated using the full consolidation method. Acquisitions and divestments of non-controlling interests without loss of control are treated as transactions between shareholders, and their impact on the Group's financial statements is recognised in equity without affecting profit or loss.
Assessment of exclusive control over TF1:
Other factors indicating the existence of exclusive control include:
All these factors clearly establish that Bouygues exercises exclusive control over TF1.
• Proportionate consolidation: investments in joint ventures
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control. Bouygues consolidates the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of such entities using the proportionate consolidation method based on the percentage of control exercised. This definition applies in particular to Bouygues Construction and Colas construction project companies, and to Bouygues Immobilier property companies.
• Investments in associates
An associate is a company over which Bouygues exercises significant influence without exercising control. Significant influence is presumed to exist where Bouygues directly or indirectly holds at least 20% of the entity's voting rights.
The net profit or loss and the assets and liabilities of such entities are accounted for by the equity method.
The interest in Alstom is reported in "Investments in associates" in the balance sheet as of 30 June 2013, and is carried at net acquisition cost (including goodwill) plus Bouygues' share of Alstom's net profit since the acquisition date, representing a total net carrying amount of €4,563 million (including €2,510 million of goodwill).
Based on the results published by Alstom on 7 May 2013 for its 2012/2013 financial year, and given the time-lag between the financial year-ends of Alstom (31 March) and Bouygues (31 December), the amount of Alstom's net profit contribution to the Bouygues group in the second quarter of 2013 is an estimated €59 million (versus €57 million for the second quarter of 2012), giving a total contribution of €117 million for the first half of 2013 (versus €114 million for the first half of 2012).
Amortisation of fair value remeasurements of Alstom's identifiable intangible assets and other items had a negative impact of €8 million on the Group's consolidated income statement for the six months ended 30 June 2013 (portion attributable to the Bouygues group).
• Concession arrangements and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contracts
The Bouygues Construction group enters into concession arrangements and PPP contracts with local authorities via entities in which the Group holds an equity interest, generally of less than 20%. Given the effectively limited role of the Group in these entities, they are not consolidated. Equity interests in concession operating entities are in the majority of cases accounted for as associates by the equity method, or otherwise are not consolidated.
• In accordance with IAS 39, equity investments in non-consolidated companies are measured at fair value.
With effect from 1 January 2010, business combinations have been accounted for in accordance with the revised IFRS 3 and IAS 27, which use the concept of "obtaining control" in determining the accounting treatment to be applied to acquisitions or disposals of equity interests; depending on the circumstances, the impacts of such acquisitions and disposals are recognised either in consolidated profit or loss or in equity.
In a business combination, the fair value of the consideration transferred is allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree, which are measured at fair value at the acquisition date and presented in the balance sheet using the full fair value method in accordance with IFRS 3. This method involves remeasuring the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value in full (including non-controlling interests), rather than remeasuring just the percentage interest acquired.
The revised IFRS 3 allows entities to elect one of two methods of accounting for non-controlling interests in each business combination:
Fair value is the amount for which an asset or Cash Generating Unit (CGU) could be sold between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that can be reliably measured at the acquisition date; non-controlling interests are either measured at fair value or not, depending on the option elected (see above). Goodwill is allocated to the CGU benefiting from the business combination or to the group of CGUs at the level of which return on investment is measured (business segment for the Bouygues group).
The purchase price allocation period is limited to the time required to identify and measure the acquired entity's assets and liabilities, the non-controlling interests, the consideration transferred and the fair value of any previously-held equity interest, subject to a maximum period of 12 months.
Negative goodwill (i.e. gain from a bargain purchase) is taken to the income statement in the period in which the acquisition is made.
Subsequently, goodwill is carried at cost net of any impairment losses identified annually using the methods described under "Impairment testing of non-current assets" in Note 2.7.1 below, in accordance with IAS 36. Impairment losses are charged to the income statement as an operating item.
In accordance with the revised IFRS 3, any previously-held equity interest is remeasured at fair value at the date on which control is obtained, with the resulting gain or loss recognised in profit or loss for the period. In the event of loss of control, the retained equity interest is also remeasured at fair value; the gain or loss on remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss for the period, along with the gain or loss arising on the disposal.
In the event of a change in percentage interest with no effect on control, the difference between the consideration paid or received and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest is recognised directly in equity attributable to the Group. Consequently, no additional goodwill is recognised.
All acquisition-related costs are recognised as an expense in profit or loss for the period.
Goodwill recognised prior to 1 January 2004 continues to be measured using the partial fair value method. This method involves restricting the fair value remeasurement of identifiable items to the percentage interest acquired. Non-controlling interests in these items are measured on the basis of the carrying amount of the items as shown in the balance sheet of the acquired entity.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into euros at the average exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the closing exchange rate. Translation differences are recognised as income or expenses in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and accounted for at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
All assets and liabilities of consolidated entities with a functional currency other than the euro are translated at the closing exchange rate. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation differences arising from this treatment, and arising from the retranslation of a subsidiary's opening shareholders' equity at the closing exchange rate, are taken to the translation reserve (which is a component of consolidated shareholders' equity). Translation differences arising on the net investment in foreign subsidiaries and associates are recognised in shareholders' equity.
Income taxes of consolidated entities for interim periods are assessed in accordance with IAS 34: the income taxes of each entity are recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the average annual effective income tax rate for the financial year (except in the case of holding companies, which recognise income taxes on the basis of the actual tax position at the end of the period).
Deferred taxation is recognised on differences between the carrying amount and tax base of assets or liabilities, and arises as a result of:
Deferred taxes are measured using known applicable national tax rates for the relevant country as at the balance sheet date. In the case of France, the tax rate applied to deferred taxes expected to reverse in 2013 or 2014 incorporates the exceptional 5% contribution enacted in the 2012 Finance Act.
Deferred taxes are not discounted, and are reported in non-current assets and liabilities.
Impairment tests are carried out on the carrying amount of non-current assets and investments in associates if there is objective evidence that they may have become impaired.
The carrying amounts of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are compared to their recoverable amounts at least at the end of each financial year.
In determining the recoverable amount, intangible assets to which independent cash flows cannot be directly allocated are grouped within the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which they belong, or within the appropriate group of CGUs representing the lowest level at which management monitors return on investment (business segment level in the case of the Bouygues group). The recoverable amount of CGUs is measured as follows:
The recoverable amount of the CGU as determined above is then compared with its carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet. If this carrying amount is greater than the recoverable amount of the CGU, an impairment loss is recognised. Any such losses are allocated in the first instance to any goodwill recognised in the balance sheet, and may not be subsequently reversed.
In the absence of any evidence of impairment since the most recent impairment tests were performed, the goodwill recognised in the balance sheet as of 30 June 2013 has not been subject to new impairment tests.
Because goodwill included in the carrying amount of investments in associates is not reported separately, it is not tested separately for impairment, in line with IAS 36. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its recoverable amount; this loss is charged against the carrying amount of the investment, and may be reversed.
The total carrying amount of the investment in Alstom was tested for impairment as of 31 December 2012 by comparing it with its recoverable amount, determined by reference to value in use as derived from cash flow projections established by Bouygues management based on forecasts prepared by a panel of financial analysts. These forecasts were consistent with the objectives announced by Alstom management in January 2013.
On 7 May 2013, Alstom published its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013, and announced its objective of achieving an operating margin in the region of 8%; this objective was reiterated in July 2013. However, a tougher operating environment means that the improvement needed to reach this performance level will now be more gradual, with the objective being achieved within one to two years after the initial date of March 2015 and with modest annual organic growth in revenues (initially forecast at more than 5% over the next two financial years).
Following the publication of the Alstom financial statements on 7 May 2013, most of the panel of financial analysts used have updated their forecasts for Alstom.
The fall in the Alstom share price since the full-year results were announced is evidence that the investment may have become impaired. Consequently, Bouygues management used the latest analysts' reports to test the investment in Alstom for impairment as of 30 June 2013.
The discount rate (weighted average cost of capital) and growth rate used for Alstom as of 30 June 2013 were:
| DISCOUNT RATE | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (a) SCENARIO 1 |
(a) SCENARIO 2 |
|||
| ALS TOM | 9.56% | 8.50% | 2% |
(a) Depending on the capital structure: ⅓ debt - ⅔ equity (scenario 1); ⅔ debt - ⅓ equity (scenario 2).
For Alstom, the recoverable amounts determined using each of the two capital structure scenarios are still greater than the carrying amount of the investment.
Note 3.4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements includes a table showing the consolidated carrying amount of listed shares held by Bouygues (TF1, Alstom, Colas) relative to the closing quoted share price at 28 June 2013. As of that date, there were no significant events that might call into question the carrying amounts reported for those companies.
For the investment in Alstom, an analysis was performed to determine the sensitivity of the calculation to the key parameters (discount rates, growth rate, normative cash flows), either individually or using combined scenarios for discount rates and normative cash flows (including reasonably possible changes in normative cash flows).
The recoverable amount would equal the carrying amount of the investment if the assumptions shown below (taken individually) were to be applied:
| INCREASE IN DISCOUNT RATE | REDUCTION IN NORMATIVE CAS H FLOWS | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (a) SCENARIO 1 |
(a) SCENARIO 2 |
(a) SCENARIO 1 |
(a) SCENARIO 2 |
|
| - ALSTOM | 81 bp | 187 bp | 13% | 29% |
(a) Depending on the capital structure: ⅓ debt - ⅔ equity (scenario 1); ⅔ debt - ⅓ equity (scenario 2).
In the event of a 15% reduction in normative cash flows combined with an increase of 100 basis points in the discount rate, the recoverable amount would be €560 million lower than the carrying amount of the investment in scenario 1, and €40 million lower in scenario 2.
The cash flow statement is presented in accordance with IAS 7 and with CNC Recommendation 2009-R-03 of 2 July 2009, using the indirect method.
The net profit (or loss) of consolidated entities is adjusted to eliminate the impact of transactions with no cash effect, and of income and expenses related to investing or financing activities.
The Bouygues group defines cash flow as consolidated net profit (or loss) for the period before: net depreciation and amortisation expense, net changes in provisions and impairment losses, gains and losses on asset disposals, cost of net debt (included in financing activities in the cash flow statement), and net income tax expense for the period.
The cash flow statement explains changes in the Group's net cash position, which is defined as the net total of the following balance sheet items:
Current operating profit (or loss) for the period excluding (i) net depreciation and amortisation expense and changes in provisions and (ii) impairment losses (after reversals of utilised and non-utilised provisions and of impairment losses).
Cash flow (determined after cost of net debt and net income tax expense for the period, but before changes in working capital) minus capital expenditure (net of disposals) for the period.
This represents the aggregate of:
The Group presents a statement of recognised income and expense, disclosing a comparative net profit figure on the line "Total recognised income and expense" which includes income and expenses recognised directly in equity.
Changes in the scope of consolidation during the six months ended 30 June 2013 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements as of that date, and do not impair comparisons with the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2012.

The effective tax rate of the Bouygues group for the first half of 2013 was 53.1% (versus 38% for the first half of 2012). The difference from the standard rate of corporate income tax in France (36.1%) in the first half is mainly due to the effects of the second 2012 amending Finance Act (tax of 3% on distributions of dividends, and restrictions on the tax deductibility of net financial expenses).

Done at Paris, 27 August 2013
Chairman and CEO
Martin Bouygues
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by the general meeting 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 first-half 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 the 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 extensive than an audit conducted in accordance with the 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 these condensed first-half 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 provided in the interim management report in respect of the condensed first-half consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and its consistency with the condensed first-half consolidated financial statements.
