COLAS HALF YEAR 2016

Colas

With locations in over 50 countries on five continents, Colas is a world leader in the construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure, striving to meet the challenges posed by mobility, urban development and environmental issues. Backed by a network of 800 construction business units and 2,000 material production units, the Group completes more than 80,000 projects each year, and spans the full range of production and recycling activities in most of its lines of business. Colas operates via two main divisions: Roads, its core business, and complementary Specialized Activities (Railways, Waterproofing, Road Safety and Signaling, Networks). Colas is also a stakeholder, usually for a minority share, in infrastructure concession and management companies.

(a) Revenue is down 6% at constant scope and exchange rates.

(b) As of end-June 2016, 30 million euros were accounted for in non-current expenses pertaining to the refined products activity currently being closed.

Highlights of the half year

  • The road market in Mainland France is progressively stabilizing, after a sharp two-year slump;
  • Acquisition of a group of companies specialized in the production of materials and road construction with partners in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar;
  • Securing of important contracts:
  • refurbishment of roads and highways in the United States for a contract value of 115 million euros:
  • refurbishment of roads and highways in Canada for a contract value of 90 million euros;
  • extension of the Algiers metro for a contract value of 86 million euros;
  • extension of the Port of Calais for a contract value of 75 million euros (Colas share);
  • rehabilitation and widening of Route 1 in Gabon for a contract value of 61 million euros;
  • construction of a section of Motorway M35 in Hungary for a contract value of 55 million euros.

Activity by business sector

Consolidated revenue as of June 30, 2016 totaled 4,678 million euros, down 10% compared to June 30, 2015 (-6% at constant scope and exchange rates). This drop is attributable in part to major changes in scope of consolidation (-179 million euros) and currency effect (-60 million euros). The changes in scope mainly pertain to the sale of bitumen storage and trade activities in Asia to the Thai subsidiary Tasco, in which Colas holds a 32% share, and to the cessation of the refining business in France.

Roads

In Mainland France, at constant scope, revenue is similar to the first half year 2015 despite disruptions in May and June (supply issues for bitumen and oil products due to strikes and poor weather). The market seems to be stabilizing at a level near that of 2015, after a sharp two-vear slump.

In Europe, revenue is down 21%. Business in northern Europe is similar to the first half year 2015 at constant exchange rates, whereas revenue in central Europe recorded a sharp drop due to a forecast delay in the launching of major road construction bids, in particular in Hungary and Slovakia, which started as of July.

In North America, revenue is down slightly at the end of June 2016 (-3% at constant scope and exchange rates), with business starting up roughly one month later than usual in Canada because of poor weather.

In the Rest of the World (international excluding Europe and North America), revenue appears to have taken a sharp decline (-18%) but is identical to first half 2015 at constant scope and exchange rates $(+1\%)$ . The gap is due to the sale of subsidiaries in Asia to the Thai subsidiary Tasco, consolidated by the equity method.

$\overline{2}$

COLAS HALF YEAR 2016

Specialized Activities

During the first half year 2016, revenue in Specialized Activities was down 16% (-9% at constant scope and exchange rates). The difference comes from the cessation of the refined products activity and the depreciation of the pound against the euro. Most of this 9% decrease at end-June 2016 was due to:

  • the Railway sector, whose business is spread out differently over the year $\bullet$ compared to 2015 - a gap that should be made up for during the second half year;
  • a 10% drop in Waterproofing.

Production of 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 714 quarries, 553 asphalt plants, 129 emulsion plants and 197 concrete plants. During the first half year 2016, the Group produced 39 million tons of aggregates (+2% from first half-year 2015), 14 million tons of asphalt mix $(+4%)$ , 762,000 tons of binders and emulsions $(+3%)$ and 1.1 million cubic meters of ready-mix concrete (unchanged).

Profitability

Current operating income / non-current operating expenses

As of June 30, 2016, current operating income amounted to -85 million euros, compared to -119 million euros on June 30, 2015, a 34-million euro improvement. Current operating income from the Roads business is identical to end-June 2015 despite an 8% drop in revenue. Current operating profit margin has improved thanks to adaptation plans. Current operating income for Specialized Activities is down by 9 million euros due to delays in the Railway sector at end-June 2016.

Fixed charges pertaining to the refining unit in Dunkirk that is currently being closed, as well as additional costs for the social plan approved in May 2016 have led to non-current expenses at end-June 2016 of 30 million euros.

Income from associates and joint ventures totaled 31 million euros, compared to 30 million euros at end-June 2015.

Colas' net profit at the end of June is traditionally negative due to the seasonal nature of its businesses. Net profit attributable to the Group at the end of June 2016 amounted to -71 million euros, compared to -69 million euros at end-June 2015.

COLAS HALF YEAR 2016

Financial structure

On June 30, 2016, net debt amounted to 316 million euros, compared to 569 million euros end-June 2015. The change from December 31, 2015 (net cash of 560 million euros) reflects the seasonal nature of Colas' businesses.

Outlook

Work-on-hand remains high at the end of June 2016 for a total of 8.0 billion euros, almost identical to end-June 2015 (-1%). It is up 3% at constant exchange rates. Work-on-hand in the international units and French Overseas Departments is identical to end-June 2015 and work-on-hand in Mainland France is down 2%.

On the basis of currently available information, revenue at constant scope and exchange rate could decrease by roughly 2% in 2016. Forecasts show improvement in profitability.

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 2015 at the Combined Annual Shareholders' Meeting on April 13, 2016.

Declaration of compliance

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Colas and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as of June 30, 2016 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 December 31, 2015.

They were prepared in accordance with the standards issued by the IASB including: IFRSs, IASs (International Accounting Standards), supplemented by the interpretations made by the former International Financial Committee ("IFRIC"), now called IFRS Interpretation Committee, or issued by the agency that preceded the Standing Interpretation Committee ("SIC"), approved by the Union European and applicable at that date. At June 30, 2016, the Group has not applied standard or interpretation by anticipation, not approved by the European Union.

The accounts present in millions of euros (unless otherwise stated): the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of recognized income and expense, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cash flow statement and all notes pertaining thereto. They are presented compared with consolidated accounts at December 31, 2015 and the consolidated condensed accounts at June 30, 2015.

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT FACTS FOR THE FIRST HALF YEAR

1.1 Significant facts for the first half year

Colas SA sold its subsidiaries in South East Asia to its associated company Tipco Asphalt

1.2 Significant facts and changes in scope after June 30, 2016

None

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES

2.1 Preparation principles of the financial statements

Condensed interim consolidated accounts of the Group Colas include the accounts of Colas SA and its subsidiaries, as well as investments in associated entities, joint ventures and joint activities. They are presented in millions of euros, currency in which the majority of the Group's operations is treated, 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 29, 2016.

The Condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the half year 2016 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, 2015 and at the end of June 2015.

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, 2015. A drop of 70 basis points of the discount rate (2.09 % at December 31, 2015) would lead to an increase in the provision for employee retirement indemnities of EUR 20 million. This impact would be posted in the statement of recognized income and expense.

2.2 New IFRS Standards, amendments and interpretations

As of June 30, 2016, the Group applied the standards, interpretations, accounting principles and methods that were applied in the financial statements of fiscal year 2015, with the exception of mandatory changes laid down by the IFRS standards mentioned below, applicable as from January 1, 2016.

Main other standards, amendments and interpretations Essentials published by the IASB, not 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, 2018.

IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

On July 24, 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, not adopted by the European Union, is applicable to January 1, 2018.

IFRS 16:

On January 13, 2016, the IASB published the standard IFRS 16 " Leases ". IFRS 16 will replace IAS 17 and IFRIC interpretations and SIC associated and will remove the distinction that was previously made between "operating leases" and "finance leases". Lessees will have to record all leases for a term of more than one year in a way similar to currently provided for financing leases in IAS 17 and count as an asset and a liability in respect of the rights and obligations created by a rental contract. The new standard, not adopted by the European Union, is applicable to January 1, 2019.

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 quarter 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 2016

Période du 1er janvier au 30 juin 2016

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 2016, 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.

$II-V$ érification 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.
