Roads
Business in Mainland France is down 15% compared to the first half year of 2015, bearing witness to a sharp drop in investments by local authorities in every sector (conventional road maintenance, urban development, public transport) following the second straight year of cuts in allocations from the French government.
$\overline{2}$
In Europe, revenue is up $10\%$ (+6% at constant scope and exchange rates), with progress in central Europe where major highway construction projects secured at the end of 2013 (Hungary and Slovakia) are currently under way.
In North America, revenue is up a strong 20%, benefiting from a positive exchange rate effect. At constant scope and exchange rates, business has improved slightly in the United States and has grown in Canada.
In the Rest of the World, revenue is up 6%, but remains practically equivalent at constant scope and exchange rates. Business is up in the French Overseas departments, in Asia and in Australia, and is down in the Africa/Indian Ocean zone.
Specialized Activities
Revenue in Specialized Activities for the first half year 2015 was similar to the first half of 2014 (-1%), with contrasted situations amongst the businesses:
- Railways and Pipelines recorded growth at 38% and 6% respectively;
- Waterproofing $(-3%)$ and Road Safety and Signaling $(+1%)$ performed comparably to the end of June 2014, despite the fact that French markets have remained tough:
- Sales of refined products is down 64%, in the wake of difficulties encountered to start $\bullet$ up the production unit at the beginning of the year following strikes at the end of 2014. along with the final halt of base oil production as of April.
Production of Construction Materials
In France and around the world, Colas has major operations involving the production of construction materials, notably aggregates, thanks to a global network comprising 701 quarries, 566 asphalt plants, 128 emulsion plants and 208 concrete plants. During the first half vear 2015, the Group produced 40.6 million tons of aggregates (-8%) compared to the first half year 2014, 13.4 million tons of asphalt mix (-7%), 735,000 tons of binders and emulsions (unchanged) and 1.1 million cubic meters of ready-mix concrete (-3%).
Profitability
As of June 30, 2015, operating income amounted to -119 million euros, compared to -127 million euros on June 30, 2014, an 8-million euro improvement.
Operating income from the Roads business is on the rise, as an increase in income in the international units has offset lower profitability in Mainland France in the wake of a sharp drop in volume.
Operating income for Specialized Activities (excluding refined products) is comparable to figures posted at the end of June 2014 thanks to an increase in operating income for the Railways sector.
The Sales of refined products sector recorded an operating loss of 42 million euros, up 12 million euros from the first half 2014. This trend is due to delays encountered in the refining process at the end of 2014 coupled with plunging oil product prices, along with costs incurred when reopening the production line following strikes at the end of 2014. Moreover, the streamlining of the workforce only took effect as of July 2015.
Income from associates and joint ventures totaled 30 million euros, compared to 11 million euros (excluding capital gain on the disposal of the stake in Cofiroute in the first quarter 2014), thanks to an excellent first half year recorded by the Thai subsidiary Tipco.
Net profit attributable to the Group at the end of June 2015 amounted to -69 million euros. Colas' net profit at the end of June is traditionally negative due to the seasonal nature of its businesses. The figures are to be compared to -76 million euros on June 30, 2014, excluding capital gain on the disposal of the stake in Cofiroute for an amount of 385 million euros.
Financial Structure
On June 30, 2015, net debt amounted to 569 million euros. The change from December 31, 2014 (net cash at 682 million euros) reflects the seasonal nature of Colas' businesses and can also be explained by the exceptional dividend of 359 million euros distributed in April 2015. The figures are to be compared to net debt as of June 30, 2014 at 331 million euros, which included the 780 million euros in proceeds from the sale of Colas' stake in Cofiroute, and to net debt of 1,141 million euros at the end of June 2013.
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 2014 at the Combined Annual Shareholders' Meeting on April 14, 2015. It is important to underline that the Province of Quebec passed a law in 2015 designed to help recover money from public contract fraud, providing for a voluntary repayment program, the terms and conditions of which have yet to be clearly defined. As such, the city of Laval has formally notified the subsidiary Sintra that it is to pay an amount of 5.7 million Canadian dollars (4 million euros) on June 16, 2015. Sintra has responded that the terms and conditions of the said program have still not been clearly stipulated, in addition to numerous elements in its own defense that must be taken into consideration.
Related parties
In the first half year, no related party transactions had any significant impact on the Group's financial situation and results.

Outlook
Work-on-hand remains high at the end of June 2015 for a total of 8.1 billion euros, compared to 8.2 billion euros at the end of June 2014 (-2%). As has been the case over the last few quarters, work-on-hand in the international units and French Overseas departments is up 4% at 4.9 billion euros, whereas work-on-hand in Mainland France has posted a 10% drop at 3.2 billion euros.
Roads:
Given the steady drop in monthly order intakes since the beginning of the year, revenue in Mainland France in 2015 should be roughly 10% lower than in 2014. The international units should continue to make headway.
Specialized Activities:
Railways will expand, boosted by high work-on-hand. Revenue in Waterproofing, Road Safety and Signaling, and Pipelines should be similar to figures recorded in 2014. Sales of refined products will see its business drop by roughly 70% following the halt of base oil production (428 million euros in 2014).
On the basis of currently available information, revenue could be down slightly in 2015.

Declaration of compliance:
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Colas and its subsidiaries (the "Group") were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", an IFRS standard as endorsed by the European Union. Because they are condensed, these financial statements do not include all the information required under IFRS standards, and should be read in conjunction with the full-year financial statements of the Colas Group for the year ended 31 December 2014.
They were prepared in accordance with the standards issued by the IASB including: 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), as endorsed by the European Union and applicable at this date. . The Group has not early adopted as of June 30, 2015 any standard or interpretation not endorsed by the European Union.
The comparatives presented are from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2014.

Note 2. Significant accounting principles and policies
2.1 Preparation principles of the financial statements
The Group's financial statements include the accounts of Colas SA and its subsidiaries (the Group), as well as holdings in related entities and joint ventures. They are presented in millions of euros, the currency of the majority of Group's transactions, and comply with the recommendations of the French accounting standards board, CNC (now ANC) no. 2009-R-03 of July 2, 2009 concerning the presentation of financial statements.
They were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on August 25, 2015.
The Condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the half year 2015 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS standards and principles, based on historical cost, with the exception of certain financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value where this is required by IFRS. They are presented in comparison with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and at the end of June 2014.
Condensed interim consolidated accounts, specific assessment methods are as follows:
For interim financial statements, consolidated income tax is determined according to the principles defined by the IAS 34 standard. The income tax of each company is taken into account in respect of the period based on the best estimate of the average annual tax rate expected for the full year (except for holding companies determined according to actual tax at end of period).
Expenses accounted for in the period in respect of the employee benefits are prorated charges estimated for the year, calculated on the basis of actuarial assumptions and forecasts to December 31, 2014. A drop of 50 basis points of the discount rate (2.01% at December 31, 2014) would lead to an increase in the provision for employee retirement indemnities of EUR 9 million. This impact would be apprehended in the statement of recognized income and expense.
2.2 New IFRS Standards, amendments and interpretations
As of June 30, 2015, the Group applied the standards, interpretations, accounting principles and methods that were applied in the financial statements of fiscal year 2014, with the exception of mandatory changes laid down by the IFRS standards mentioned below, applicable as from January 1, 2015.
Main IFRS Standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the European Union, for mandatory application of early adoption as of January 1, 2015:
IFRIC 21: Levies.
This interpretation was endorsed by the European Union on June 13, 2014. The impacts of this interpretation, mandatory as of January 1, 2015, are not significant on the equity of the Group, but do affect the rate of recognition in the intervening period of some taxes, such as the French "C3S" or property tax.
The impacts on operating profit for the condensed interim financial statements for the half year 2015 are presented in Note 13 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Other main IFRS Standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB, not yet adopted by the European Union:
IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers.
On May 28, 2014, the IASB issued a new standard on accounting for income called to replace most of the existing provisions in IFRS, especially IAS 11 and IAS 18. The new standard, not adopted by the European Union, is applicable to January 1, 2017.
The impact of this standard, which has not been anticipated by the Group, is being evaluated.
IFRS 9: Financial Instruments
On 24 July 2014, the IASB issued a new standard on financial instruments intended to replace most of the current IFRS pronouncements on this subject, in particular IAS 39. The new standard, which has not yet been endorsed by the European Union, is applicable from 1 January 2018.
2.3 Seasonal nature of business
Revenue and operating income figures are clearly marked by the strong seasonal nature of Colas' business, which is reflected in the low level of activity during the first half year due to poor weather conditions. The amplitude of the phenomena varies from year to year. In compliance with IFRS principles, interim revenue is recognized in the same conditions as it is at year end.

Rapport des commissaires aux comptes sur l'information financière semestrielle 2015
Période du 1er janvier au 30 juin 2015
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 2015, 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.
COLAS Société Anonyme Rapport des commissaires aux comptes sur l'information financière semestrielle 2015 25 août 2015
Sans remettre en cause la conclusion exprimée ci-dessus, nous attirons votre attention sur les notes 2.2 et 13 de l'annexe qui exposent l'incidence sur les comptes consolidés de la première application de l'interprétation d'IFRIC 21.
$II - Ve$ rification 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.
