I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 have been drawn up in accordance with applicable accounting standards and present a true and fair view of the assets, financial situation and results of Eiffage SA and all the companies included in the consolidation scope, and that the Interim Management Report for the period then ended provides a true and fair view of significant events during this period and their impact on the financial statements and of the main transactions with related parties, and contains a description of the main risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year.

Director - Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Consolidated revenues for the first half of 2016 came to €6.5 billion, down by 1.6% on the same period of the previous year (or by 2.0% at constant scope and exchange rates).
In Contracting, overall activity was down by 3.1% (3.5% at constant scope and exchange rates) at €5.28 billion. The positive dynamic of the Group's international business (+4.6%) partly offset the 5.2% fall in revenues in France.
The Construction division benefited from the high level of orders taken in 2015 and posted revenues up by 4.8% (3.7% in France and 9.6% abroad) at €1.73 billion. In Property, housing reservations reached 1,913 units as against 1,674 for the first half of 2015.
In the Infrastructures division, revenues were down by 3.8% at €1.93 billion. Down by 7.8% in France, particularly in Metal and Civil Engineering, as a result of the lower level of activity on the Bretagne-Pays de la Loire (BPL) highspeed rail line, and to a lesser extent in Roads, which are stabilising, they grew by 7.6% internationally.
In Energy, turnover fell by 9.5% to €1.62 billion, basically in France (-10.7%). Restated for the exceptional works on the Cestas solar plant carried out in 2015, revenues were up by 1.1% in France.
In Concessions, thanks to the growth in motorway traffic (+4.1% at APRR, +6.3% on the A65 motorway, +0.7% on the Millau Viaduct and +26.3% on the "Autoroute de l'Avenir" in Senegal) and the activity generated by the other concessions and operations of the Public-Private Partnership, we posted sustained global growth of 5.3% in total revenues, which came to €1.22 billion.

Operating profit before non-recurring items increased by 13.6% to €677 million in both Concessions (+13.2%) and Contracting (+12.3%).
In Construction, the operating margin came to 3.7% (3.5% in June 2015) thanks to the efforts made in 2014 and 2015 to adjust fixed costs. In the Infrastructures division, the margin was stable at -2.1% in a still difficult environment, particularly in Roads and Metal in France. Energy continues to recover. The operating margin came to 3.0% compared with 2.8% for the first half of 2015.
Thus for Contracting as a whole, the operating margin for the half year came to 1.4% (1.2% for H1 2015) in a competitive environment that remains stressed.
In Concessions, the operating margin came to 50.5% (46.9% for H1 2015) thanks to dynamic growth in motorway traffic and good control of operating costs.
The cost of borrowing fell by €66 million thanks to refinancing of the Group's debt maturities in the past eighteen months. This reduction in financial expenses, together with the fall in non-recurring operating costs (mainly restructuring) and a solid operating performance brought the net profit attributable to the Group to €133 million as against €79 million for the first half of 2015 (+68%).
Net financial debt, excluding the fair value of swaps and of the Caisse Nationale des Autoroutes (CNA) debt, amounted to €11.9 billion at the end of the half year, down by €366 million compared with one year earlier. This debt is basically in Concessions, without recourse to Eiffage. The residual net debt of the holding company and of the Contracting divisions at 30 June was €88 million (compared with €300 million at the end of June 2015). It takes account of the seasonal variation in working capital requirement of €375 million (compared with €394 million in June 2015).
The Group's cash position consequently increased to €2.4 billion in the twelve months (from €2.1 billion in June 2015), consisting of net available cash of €1.4 billion and an undrawn credit line of €1 billion maturing in September 2020.
On 6 June 2016 APRR carried out a new bond issue of €700 million, due January 2026 with a coupon of 1.125%.
The Group's order book represents 12.8 months of activity and stands at €12.1 billion as at 1 July 2016, up by 1.6% on the same date last year (or by 4.7% excluding the Bretagne-Pays de la Loire high-speed rail line). This trend is lent further weight by the recent success with major turnkey projects such as the Window building in La Défense, the Ariane 6 launchpad in Kourou, French Guiana and the Eole express tunnel in Paris, the last one not yet included in the order book.
The Group still foresees a slight fall in activity for the whole year in view of the significant revenues posted in 2015 on the Cestas and BPL projects.
Based on the strong operational dynamic in Concessions, the efforts being made to rationalise structures in Contracting in a stabilising market in France and the reduction in financial expenses, the Group confirms its expectations of improved results for the year as a whole.
Risks to which the Group is exposed are disclosed on pages 123 to 126 of the Eiffage SA Reference Document registered under no. D.16-0230. At the date of this financial report, there has been no modification in the nature of these risks or in the attendant uncertainties that might have a significant impact on the Group's activities and results in the second half of 2016. The assessment of the Group's exposure to financial covenants at 30 June 2016 is detailed hereunder in Note 10 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Transactions with related parties are disclosed in Note 15 to the interim financial statements.

(in millions of euros unless otherwise indicated)
The registered office of Eiffage SA is located at 3-7 place de l'Europe, Vélizy-Villacoublay (78140), France.
The shares of Eiffage SA are listed on Compartment A of the market organised by Euronext in Paris.
The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 were approved by the Board of Directors on 31 August 2016.
The Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 are available on request from Eiffage SA's registered office and on its website at www.eiffage.com.
In the first half of 2016, Eiffage SA staged a capital increase reserved for the Group's employees in France and abroad, which resulted in the issue of 2,648,274 shares of €4 each. Following this increase, the share capital of Eiffage SA amounted to €392,329,060.
A new amendment to the APRR concession agreement was approved by Decree no. 2016-70 of 29 January 2016, published in the Official Gazette of 31 January 2016. This amendment provides for the merger of the Maurice Lemaire tunnel (TML) concession into the APRR concession agreement, thereby allowing a significant reduction in TML tariffs in exchange for a ten-month extension to the APRR concession agreement (therefore until November 2035).
APRR has also undertaken to reimburse and cancel certain subsidies relating to TML as well as co-fund certain ancillary investments by the French State.
The activities carried on by the Group are affected by their seasonal nature, in particular road construction and maintenance (because of the less favourable weather conditions in the first half of the year) and the operation of motorway concessions (because of the increase in traffic during the summer holidays at the start of the second half). It follows that sales and results in the first half of the year cannot be extrapolated to the year as a whole. The seasonal nature of the activities also leads to an increase in net cash used in operating activities in the first six months of the year.
No attempt is made to adjust for the impact of this seasonality in the interim financial statements.
The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting". The statements do not contain all the information required in the complete annual financial statements and must be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
The Group applied the same accounting methods as in 2015, except for amendments adopted by the European Union for which application was compulsory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. These amendments did not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements, and consisted mainly in:
The Group is currently analysing the impacts of the following standards that have not yet been adopted by the European Union:
When preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, management relies on estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the statement of financial position, contingent liabilities reported in the notes, and income and charges reported in the income statement. These estimates and assumptions are based on past experience and on various other factors, bearing in mind the current economic and financial environment has lowered visibility as regards business prospects. It is possible that the carrying amounts may be adjusted subsequently because of these estimation uncertainty sources.
The estimates and assumptions concern essentially:
In accordance with IFRS 8, segment reporting is based on the Group's internal organisation for reporting to senior management. Accordingly, the operating segments are:

External growth during the period under review concerned:
The effects on the condensed interim financial statements to 30 June 2016, as summarised below, reflect the contribution made by the above companies as from the date on which they were included in the consolidation scope, the contributions made by companies consolidated for the first time in the second half of 2015 (mainly Pichenot at the Infrastructures division) and the divestment by the Energy division of three companies in the first half of 2016.
Effects of changes in the consolidation scope on the financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016:
Effects on the statement of financial position:
Effects on the income statement:
The cost of these acquisitions, net of disposals, amounted to €11m.
Eiffage has signed with Meridiam Infrastructure a disposal agreement regarding its 36% interest (shares and shareholders' loans) in Norscut, the concession company of the A24 motorway in Portugal. The closing of this transaction is subject to a number of approvals (agreement of lenders and clearance by the anti-trust authorities and by the Portuguese State). Consequently, this transaction was not recognised in the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

Each of the current provisions above represents the aggregate of various disputes linked mainly to construction contracts that, taken individually, are not material. The maturity of these provisions, linked to the operating cycle, is less than one year as a rule. No reimbursements are expected.
The Group uses interest rate hedging instruments to reduce the exposure of variable rate loans to changes in interest rates.
These instruments are documented as to the hedging relationship and its effectiveness.
The Group carries on its activities almost exclusively in the euro zone. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates for currencies other than the euro have little impact on the financial statements.
The nature of transactions entered into with related parties is as described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the 2015 Annual Report.
Income tax expense is recognised on the basis of the best estimate of the average tax rate expected over the financial year as a whole. This average tax rate takes into account the Group's geographical diversification.
In the ordinary course of its activities, the Group is involved in various disputes. The matters referred to below have, when appropriate, given rise to provisions considered as adequate in the light of current circumstances.
Given the nature of its road building and maintenance activities, the Group uses products sourced from the petroleum industry for the production of materials.
For this reason, and also because activities may be carried on at old industrial sites, suits for environmental pollution could be brought against the Group.
In connection with the Group's building activity, there is a risk that any defects may be reported out to ten years after project completion, and such defects can result in significant repair costs. The Group has therefore taken out ten-year contractors' guarantee insurance policies covering claims exceeding defined deductibles. The necessary provisions have been constituted and the Group does not expect this risk exposure to have material consequences.
With regard to disputes over the commissioning of the Pierre Mauroy stadium in Lille, involving the Eiffage subsidiary operating this installation and Métropole Européenne de Lille, an appeal was filed before the administrative court at the end of July 2015 to obtain a legal settlement, since when there have been no developments.
Concerning the high-speed rail line between France and Spain, no agreement over the restructuring of TP Ferro's debt having been reached with its creditors and the French and Spanish States, the company went before the Gerona commercial court in July 2015, petitioning the court to be placed in receivership. On 16 June 2016, the company filed a business continuity plan with the instructing magistrate. Creditors have until 15 September 2016 to respond. The Group does not expect this decision to have material adverse financial consequences. In the meantime, the operation of the concession continues.
In connection with the construction of a stadium in Poland, legal proceedings have been initiated against an Eiffage subsidiary by the local municipality over the decision to halt construction work, faced with the inability to execute the contract per the initial design. The expected consequences of this dispute were recognised in the 2015 financial statements.
There are no government, legal or arbitration proceedings in progress, nor is the Company aware of any proceedings in abeyance or that could be initiated, that could have or that in the last six months have had a material impact on the Group's financial situation or profitability.
The Group is not aware of any particular events between 30 June 2016 and 31 August 2016 (which was when these financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors) that would require disclosure.
In fulfilment of the assignment entrusted to us by the Shareholders' General Meeting and in application of Article L.451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code Monétaire et Financier) we have performed:
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors. It is our responsibility, based on our limited audit, to report to you our conclusions on these financial statements.
We have performed a limited audit in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France. A limited audit consists mainly in consulting the management staff responsible for the accounting and financial aspects, and in performing analytical procedures. The scope of such an audit is less extensive than that of a full audit carried out in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France. A limited audit therefore provides only a moderate degree of assurance that the financial statements, taken as a whole, do not contain material anomalies, less than would be the case had a full audit been performed.
Based on our limited audit, we have not identified any significant anomalies of a nature such as to bring into question the compliance of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", part of the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union.
We also verified the information disclosed in the interim management report relating to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements that were the object of our limited audit. We have no comment to make as to the true and fair view of this information and its consistency with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
