Key figures

Revenue as of June 30, 2013 totaled 5.6 billion euros, down a slight 1% (no significant scope or currency exchange impact), with business up 1% in France and off 3% in the International units.

Highlights of the half year

  • The first half year was marked by particularly unfavorable weather throughout the winter and spring, in particular in mainland France, northern Europe, Canada and the eastern United States.
  • Colas enjoyed a number of successful commercial endeavors during the first half year:
  • o Colas Rail (Railways):

    • design-build contract for the high speed train line between Tangiers and Kenitra in Morocco for 124 million euros for Colas Rail:
    • contract to build the first two lines of the high speed rail network in Tunis, $\blacksquare$ Tunisia for 86 million euros for Colas Rail;
  • Spac (Pipelines): two sections out of a total of five on the Arc de Dierrey project (natural gas pipeline from future methane terminal in Dunkirk to east and south of France) for a total of 85 million euros, 50% of which is earmarked for Spac;

  • o Phocéale, a consortium that includes Colas Midi-Méditerranée, is the preferred bidder for a PPP for the L2 bypass in Marseille, France.
  • Colas acquired Tropic Asphalt, an Australian company with some 40 million euros in revenue, specialized in asphalt mix production and application. Colas thus continues to expand in Asia/Australia, a zone with potential for good growth.
  • Colas' new organization has been operational in mainland France since January 1, 2013, $\bullet$ (road business now performed via 7 regional companies operating under single Colas banner).

Trends per operating business sector

Roads

During the first half year, unfavorable weather negatively impacted the Group's road business:

  • in mainland France (down 2%), the second quarter was marked by poor weather, as $\bullet$ was the first,
  • in Europe (-7%), notably in northern Europe (Belgium and Ireland), $\bullet$
  • in North America (- 10%), in particular in Canada. $\bullet$

In the Rest of the World, revenue is up 2% from the first half of 2012. Growth in French Overseas Departments and in Asia/Australia helped offset drops in Africa and the Indian Ocean.

Specialized Activities

During the first half of 2013, revenue rose 11%, an increase that comprises differences amongst the businesses: strong growth in the Railways sector $(+32\%)$ , increased revenue for the Sales of refined products sector $(+16%)$ linked to the end on January 1, 2013 of a processing contract with Total (by which Total commercialized 40% of SRD's production), nearly unchanged business compared to the first half of 2012 for the Waterproofing and Pipelines sectors, and a drop in business for Road Safety and Signaling (-7%).

Production of construction materials

In France and around the world, the production of construction materials, notably aggregates, plays a major role in Colas' business, thanks to a global network comprising 736 quarries, 567 asphalt plants, 138 emulsion plants, and 212 ready-mix concrete plants. During the first half vear 2013, the Group produced 44.3 million tons of aggregates (-6% from first half 2012), 14 million tons of asphalt mix $(-10\%)$ , 717,000 tons of binders and emulsions $(+6\%)$ and 12.2 million $m3$ of ready-mix concrete (- 5%).

Profitability

As of June 30, 2013, the Group's operating profit amounted to -76 million euros, against -34 million euros on June 30, 2012.

Operating profit is down 42 million euros, a trend that mainly reflects unfavorable weather conditions in France, Europe and North America compared to the first half of 2012.

Net profit attributable to the Group was -32 million euros during the first half of 2013, down 13 million euros from the first half of 2012.

Financial structure

On June 30, 2013, net debt amounted to 1,142 million euros. The change from December 31, 2012 (net debt at 170 million euros) reflects the typically seasonal nature of Colas' businesses. The figures are to be compared to net debt as of June 30, 2012 at 1,074 million euros. The change over one year is primarily explained by additional working capital requirement in the refining activity in France, which is now operated at 100%.

Risks and uncertainties

There have been no significant changes in the risks and uncertainties as presented in the Report of the Board of Directors for 2012 for the Combined Annual Shareholders' Meeting on April 17, 2013. Since this date, it is important to add that a former senior executive and a former employee of Sintra, a subsidiary of ColasCanada in Ouebec, were indicted in May 2013 as part of a judicial inquiry into public procurement contracts and political party financing in Quebec. In addition, as part of an enquiry into public procurement in Quebec led by the Charbonneau Commission, a former employee who had left the company in 2000 testified that some of the business practices at Sintra were non-compliant at that point and time. Sintra is fully cooperating with authorities in Quebec. In parallel, as stipulated in the Group's ethics policy, wide-sweeping investigations were launched and prevention programs rolled out. Following a cross-examination review, Quebec's new government agency in charge of granting authorizations to companies to bid on Quebec's public procurement contracts granted a permit to Sintra at the end of July 2013.

Related parties

In first half year, no related party transactions had any significant impact on the Group's financial situation and results.

Outlook

Work-on-hand at the end of June 2013 remained high at 7.6 billion euros (-4% from the end of June 2012). Mainland France accounts for 4 billion euros (-2%), and the International units and French Overseas Departments account for 3.6 billion euros (-5%). These figures do not yet include the Tangiers-Kenitra high speed railway contract (124 million euros for Colas Rail).

The Group's work-on-hand, up 5% from the end of June 2011, provides good visibility into the second half year 2013.

• Roads:

The delays in business encountered in France and in North America will be partially or totally overcome if the weather is favorable, notably towards the end of the year.

In Europe and in the Rest of the World, total revenue should not change significantly, as continued growth in Asia/Australia will offset the drop in Africa/Indian Ocean.

The Specialized Activities will see growth thanks to continued progress in the Railways sector which is enjoying a high level of work-on-hand and to a mechanical increase in revenue for the Sales of refined Products in the absence of the processing contract whereby which Total commercialized 40% of SRD's production.12

<sup>1 Contract ended December 31, 2012

<sup>2 Société de la Raffinerie de Dunkerque

On the basis of currently available information, the revenue target for 2013, set in February and confirmed in May, remains unchanged at 13.2 billion euros (+1% compared to 2012).

Rapport des commissaires aux comptes sur l'information financière semestrielle 2013

Période du 1er janvier au 30 juin 2013

Aux actionnaires.

En exécution de la mission qui nous a été confiée par votre Assemblée Générale et en application de l'article L.451-1-2 III du Code monétaire et financier, nous avons procédé à :

  • l'examen limité des comptes semestriels consolidés condensés de la société COLAS S.A.. relatifs à la période du 1er janvier au 30 juin 2013, tels qu'ils sont joints au présent rapport ;
  • la vérification des informations données dans le rapport semestriel d'activité.

Ces comptes semestriels consolidés condensés ont été établis sous la responsabilité du Conseil d'Administration. Il nous appartient, sur la base de notre examen limité, d'exprimer notre conclusion sur ces comptes.

I - Conclusion sur les comptes

Nous avons effectué notre examen limité selon les normes d'exercice professionnel applicables en France. Un examen limité consiste essentiellement à s'entretenir avec les membres de la direction en charge des aspects comptables et financiers et à mettre en œuvre des procédures analytiques. Ces travaux sont moins étendus que ceux requis pour un audit effectué selon les normes d'exercice professionnel applicables en France. En conséquence, l'assurance que les comptes, pris dans leur ensemble, ne comportent pas d'anomalies significatives obtenue dans le cadre d'un examen limité est une assurance modérée, moins élevée que celle obtenue dans le cadre d'un audit.

Sur la base de notre examen limité, nous n'avons pas relevé d'anomalies significatives de nature à remettre en cause la conformité des comptes semestriels consolidés condensés avec la norme IAS 34 - norme du référentiel IFRS tel qu'adopté dans l'Union européenne relative à l'information financière intermédiaire.

II - Vérification spécifique

Nous avons également procédé à la vérification des informations données dans le rapport semestriel d'activité commentant les comptes semestriels consolidés condensés sur lesquels a porté notre examen limité.

Nous n'avons pas d'observation à formuler sur leur sincérité et leur concordance avec les comptes semestriels consolidés condensés.
