As of January 1, 2019, the new standard IFRS 16 gives rise to the recognition of a lease liability in respect of lease commitments, with a corresponding asset representing the right to use the leased asset. This lease liability, in the amount of k€18,214, together with the finance lease liability for k€235, are not included in borrowings.

In France, based on its growth policy, Gaumont estimates that its available cash, operating cash flows, and the bond will cover its financing requirements, excluding any acquisitions.
In the United States, the Group is continuing to take out bank loans to finance its productions and uses assignments of receivables to fund new projects. These borrowings are guaranteed exclusively through assets held by the American subsidiaries without any recourse against the Group in France.
For its European subsidiaries, Gaumont is examining the possibility of taking out bank loans to finance its productions, along the lines of the model adopted for American productions.
The Group believes that it has adequate means to honor its commitments and to guarantee the continuity of its business.
Bond
For its general needs, Gaumont has a bond in the form of a listed euro private placement (EuroPP) totaling k€60,000, with three financial ratios to be met every six months. These ratios are presented in note 8.6 to the half-year consolidated financial statements.
Self-liquidating production loans
To finance American series, the production companies take out loans with American credit institutions specialized in financing the audiovisual industry. Each of these loans is exclusively allocated to financing a series and is guaranteed, until the amount borrowed, interest and related charges are recovered, by pledging the assets financed and all of the pre-sales, tax credit and sales contracts, with no further guarantee given. The loans include a completion guarantee contract signed with a company specialized in audiovisual production.
The two outstanding loans totaling k\$87,626 were granted to finance season 5 of Narcos and season 4 of F is For Family. As of June 30, 2019, there was a cumulative outstanding balance of k\$68,111 and a total available balance of k\$18,409.
Assignments of receivables
In order to finance French productions, Gaumont makes occasional use of the assignment of receivables under the Dailly Law. Assignments within the framework of these contracts are generally linked to pre-financing the production, such as pre-sales to the main broadcaster, contributions of co-producers, or allowance from the support funds to the audiovisual industry. As of June 30, 2019, no receivables were assigned on this basis in the French companies.
In the United States, Gaumont has a master agreement for the assignment of receivables for a maximum authorized amount of k\$50,000 to finance the development of its projects. This line of credit is based on the series' operating receivables, with the exception of receivables pledged to production loans. As of June 30, 2019, the liability related to this contract amounted to k\$20,073, and the unused amount of these loans stood at k\$4,779.
Other borrowings
Other borrowings included, in particular, debt to Caisse des dépôts et consignations in respect of its investment in the back catalog restoration and digitization program, which totaled k€4,334 as of June 30, 2019.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. Accounting principles and methods
1.1. General principles
Gaumont's half-year consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34: "Interim financial information". They highlight the main information from the period as defined in IAS 34 and must be read in conjunction with Gaumont's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Registration document filed with the AMF under number D.19-0326.
The accounting principles used to prepare the half-year consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS standards and interpretations as adopted by the European Union on June 30, 2019, which are available at the website: https://eur-lex.europa.eu.
Gaumont's half-year consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 were prepared using the same accounting principles and measurement methods that were used to prepare the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, with the exception of newly applied standards and interpretations, which are listed below in Section 1.4.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, unless otherwise specified.
Gaumont's half-year consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019 were approved by the Board of directors on September 10, 2019 and were the subject of a limited review by the Statutory auditors.
1.2. Measurement principles specifically for interim financial statements
Expenses and income determined on an annual basis were measured at the end of the period using the same principles that are used during year-end closing.
Employee benefits at the end of the period were measured based on balances showing in the statement of financial position at the beginning of the period and by using assumptions set at the beginning of the annual reporting period.
For the interim financial statements, income tax expense (current and deferred) is calculated by applying the average estimated annual rate for the year in progress to the accounting income for the period. Current income tax expense equals the amount of income tax owed to the tax authorities for the year as per tax law and as per the tax rates in force in the various countries.
1.3. Seasonal nature of the business
Gaumont would like to reiterate that its results are mainly tied to the number of releases and release schedule of its films in theaters, and to the deliveries of its new television series to broadcasters, as well as to the financing structure of its works. These elements may cause significant variations in income from one period to another.
As a result, the consolidated half-year results are not representative of the annual results.
1.4. Impact of IFRS and IFRIC interpretations applicable to the Group from January 1, 2019
Of the standards and interpretations applicable from January 1, 2019, only IFRS 16 has an impact on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2019.
IFRS 16 – Leases
With effect from January 1, 2019, operating leases leads to the recognition of an asset representing the right-of-use and a debt corresponding to the rental commitments. The lease term for measurement of the right of use corresponds to the non-cancelable period plus, where applicable, renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
Gaumont has chosen to apply the simplified retrospective method as a transitional method for the first-time application of IFRS 16. Comparative periods are not restated and the impact of the first-time application as of January 1, 2019 is recognized as an adjustment to equity.
Gaumont has also decided to apply the simplification measures provided for in the standard. Leases with an underlying asset with a value in use of less than k\$5 and leases with a term of less than one year are not restated.
Right-of-use assets are measured at their value at the inception date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019 and amortized in accordance with IAS 16. Lease liabilities correspond to the amount of future lease payments due over the entire lease term, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. The impacts of the first-time application of IFRS 16 are presented below and in notes 5.1 and 8.2.
Impact of the first-time application of IFRS 16 on the statement of financial position as of January 1, 2019
| As of 01.01.2019 | |
|---|---|
| Right-of-use assets arising from leased properties(1) | 21,790 |
| Amortization of right-of-use assets arising from leased properties(1) | -4,800 |
| Non-current deferred tax assets | 124 |
| ASSETS | 17,114 |
(1) including right-of-use assets classified as investment properties.
| As of 01.01.2019 | |
|---|---|
| Equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company | -351 |
| Lease liabilities | 17,465 |
| LIABILITIES | 17,114 |
To make the financial statements easier to understand, assets and liabilities related to leases are presented in the statement of financial position separately from owned assets and borrowings. Lease liabilities are also excluded from financial liabilities, unless otherwise stated.
Impacts of the first-time application of IFRS 16 on net income for the period
| 2019 | |
|---|---|
| Lease payments | 1,124 |
| Amortization | -1,355 |
| Operating income (loss) | -231 |
| Borrowing costs | -25 |
| NET INCOME | -256 |
Cash outflows for the period under leases amounted to k€1,124 and corresponded to lease payments for the period. Following the application of IFRS 16, these cash flows appear as a reduction in the lease liability for k€1,099 and as interest for the period of k€25.
Reconciliation of the lease liability under IFRS 16 with operating lease commitments published as of December 31, 2018
| As of 01.01.2019 | |
|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments published as of December 31, 2018 | 18,399 |
| Exemptions (low-value lease for less than 12 months) | -407 |
| Estimate of the lease term | 914 |
| Remeasurement of outstanding amounts payable | 1,718 |
| Discounting effect of the IFRS 16 liability | -3,235 |
| Currency translation adjustments | 76 |
| Lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 | 17,465 |
2. Scope of consolidation
2.1. Purchase of minority interests in Gaumont Television USA Llc in 2018
On February 21, 2018, Gaumont USA Inc. acquired an additional 15% share in Gaumont Television USA Llc for k\$24,000, payable in three annual installments. As of June 30, 2019, the acquisition resulted in a debt of k\$8,000, which was discounted.
2.2. Transactions with non-controlling shareholders of Gaumont Pathé Archives
In the first half of 2019, Gaumont Pathé Archives partially repaid the capital contributions of its shareholders. A payment of k€2,279 was made to the non-controlling shareholders of the company, representing their share of the nominal amount of the canceled shares.
On June 29, 2019, Gaumont repurchased from Pathé all of its shares in Gaumont Pathé Archives for k€203, subject to the final calculation of the enterprise value as of the date of the sale. The final price will be adjusted in the second half of 2019. Following this transaction, Gaumont Pathé Archives was renamed GP Archives.

The change in support funds and author royalties is linked to the delivery schedule of the television programs and the success of the feature films released during the period. The audiovisual and cinema tax credits are recognized as and when the works that generate them are amortized.
Leases have been analyzed with regard to IFRS 16. Expenses that can be defined as leases have been capitalized in the statement of financial position since January 1, 2019. Residual expenses correspond to contracts excluded from the scope of the standard owing to their duration or the absence of a commitment towards the lessor. The impact of the initial application of IFRS 16 is described in note 1.4.

Outstanding trade receivables mainly consist of the portion of outstanding receivables related to pre-sales and sales of works distributed at the end of the period. The level of receivables is strongly impacted by the number and schedule for series deliveries and movie releases.
Current financial assets consist of the balance of the sale price of shares held in Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont for k€63,340, including interest. This receivable, due by June 30, 2020, was posted to non-current assets as of December 31, 2018.

The amount payable on acquisitions corresponds to the balance due to non-controlling shareholders of Gaumont Television USA following the buyout in 2018. The balance of this payable is due by February 28, 2020 and is discounted.
Production payables are closely linked to the production and delivery schedules of the works. The change in the period is due mainly to the payment of the final installments of the films which were released at the end of 2018.
Contract liabilities represent the consideration received by Gaumont in respect of contracts with customers for which performance obligations had not been satisfied at the end of the period. This is particularly the case where rights are sold with future distribution windows.

For the first-time application of IFRS 16, Gaumont has capitalized all right-of-use assets. The effects of the first-time application of this standard are presented in note 1.4.
IAS 40 – Investment Property applies both to owned property and right-of-use assets, provided these are leased to third parties and generate cash flows largely independently of the other assets. The standard also applies to vacant property held to be leased.
The fair value of property measured in accordance with IFRS 16 is deemed to be equivalent to the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset. The fair value of property owned, leased or held to be leased is periodically measured by an independent valuer. Since a new lease was agreed during the period, these assets have been assessed as having an average value of €197 million excluding transfer taxes, based on the capitalization of lease payments. This valuation takes into account market conditions and assumes the completion of the construction work.
Operating expenses incurred during the period for leased properties are not material. Rental income during the period amounted to k€289.

As of June 30, 2019, other current financial liabilities included a liability of k€11,831 measured at fair value through income. This liability represents Gaumont's commitment to repurchase, at the end of a five years period, the right to a share of proceeds held by the investors in the French-language feature films produced and distributed by Gaumont, as well as the residual assets and liabilities of the investment structure as of the settlement date. The fair value of this commitment was measured by applying the discounted cash flow method to the films released in movie theaters and to the asset and liability components identified as of the reporting date. As of June 30, 2019, the impact on net income of the discounted fair value of this commitment was -k€510.
No transfers in fair value hierarchy took place during the period.

| Other financial incomes and expenses | - | 22 |
| NET OTHER FINANCIAL INCOME/EXPENSES | 3,173 | 4,713 |
The foreign exchange gains and losses are essentially linked to Gaumont's exposure to changes in the American dollar related to the financing of the American activities.
8.6. Management of financial risks
Credit and counterparty risk
The main credit risk to which Gaumont is exposed is the risk of non-payment by its customers or financial partners involved in the production of works. Gaumont operates in France and internationally with the main market players and considers that its credit risk is very limited.
As of June 30, 2019, 76% of trade receivables and operating receivables for films were not yet due, and 9% were due for less than 90 days.
Liquidity risk
The k€60,000 bond, whose key features are described in note 8.2, comes with three covenant ratios that must be met half-yearly.
The R1 ratio requires the value of the Group's main assets to be at least equal to 2.75 times its net borrowings, plus outstanding financial advances granted by Gaumont SA to Gaumont USA Inc and its subsidiaries. The Group's main assets comprise the film catalog, the interest in Gaumont Animation and Gaumont's real estate assets.
The R2 ratio requires the Group to keep borrowings below equity.
The R3 ratio requires the Group to maintain net average revenue from its catalog at a minimum of 15% of its net borrowings at the calculation date.
For the R1, R2 and R3 ratios, borrowings are defined excluding Caisse des dépôts et consignations' financial investment and excluding American production loans, as long as they are without recourse against the Group but includes operating lease commitments.
As of June 30, 2019, given the absence of borrowings from the French entities, the R3 ratio was not applicable. The R1 and R2 ratios were respected and were respectively at 8.18 and 0.33.
Market risks
Interest rate risk
In France as in the United States, Gaumont finances its productions and general needs through fixed and variable rate loans and manages its exposure to interest rate risk using interest rate swaps and caps, if the situation warrants it.
As of June 30, 2019, the Group's interest rate exposure was as follows:
| Total | Fixed rate | Variable rate | Not exposed | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets (1) | 96,092 | - | 96,092 | - |
| Financial liabilities (2) | -143,258 | -64,114 | -76,975 | -2,169 |
| Net position before hedging | -47,166 | -64,114 | 19,117 | -2,169 |
| Hedging | - | - | - | - |
| Net position after hedging | -47,166 | -64,114 | 19,117 | -2,169 |
| Sensitivity (3) | 191 | - | 191 | - |
(1) Cash and cash equivalents.
(2) Borrowings.
(3) Full-year impact at this level of net borrowings.
As Gaumont's exposure to interest rate risk is reversed due to the cash surplus over variable rate debt, sensitivity to this risk represents a gain or opportunity cost.
As of June 30, 2019, Gaumont no longer used interest rate instruments, given the Group's borrowing situation.
Foreign exchange risk
Operating foreign exchange risks
Gaumont is exposed to operating foreign exchange risks on commercial transactions posted on the balance sheet and on likely future transactions. When the Group produces films or television series outside the home country of the producer company, it is also exposed to foreign exchange risks on its production expenses.
As of June 30, 2019, revenue invoiced in a currency other than that of the company behind the transaction accounted for 17% of total consolidated revenue.
The main transaction currencies of European entities (excluding the euro) were the US dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen. The main transaction currencies for American entities (excluding the US dollar) were Canadian dollars and euros.
Gaumont examines on a case-by-case basis the feasibility of using foreign exchange hedges to reduce its exposure to currency movements.
At June 30, 2019, the Group's exposure to operating foreign exchange risk was as follows:
| Risk related to a change in the euro value | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total (in thousands of euros) |
USD/EUR | CAD/EUR | GBP/EUR | CHF/EUR | JPY/EUR | ILS/EUR | AUTRES/EUR | |

| Sensitivity | -709 | -684 | -1 | 6 | -9 | -8 | -7 | -6 |
An across-the-board 10% depreciation of each of the currencies against the euro would have a negative impact of k€709 on consolidated net income.

| Sensitivity | -28 | -5 | -23 |
An across-the-board 10% depreciation of each of the currencies against the US dollar would have a negative impact of k\$28 on consolidated net income.
Financial foreign exchange risk
Gaumont is exposed to financial foreign exchange risk via its bank accounts and advances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the company concerned. The Group seeks to minimize its exposure by limiting foreign currency account balances and using hedging instruments when the situation warrants it.

| Sensitivity | -2,424 | -2,423 | -1 | -183 | -183 |
At June 30, 2019, the Group's exposure to financial foreign exchange risk was as follows:
An across-the-board 10% depreciation of each of the currencies against the euro would have a negative impact of k€2,424 on consolidated financial income. A 10% depreciation of the Mexican currency against the US dollar would have a negative impact of k\$183 on consolidated financial income.
Foreign exchange risk on foreign direct investment
As a result of its investments in subsidiaries based in the United States and in Great Britain, the Group is also exposed to foreign exchange risk when it translates its subsidiaries accounts into the reporting currency of its consolidated financial statements. The impacts of this risk are recognized in equity.
At June 30, 2019, the exchange rate exposure from foreign investments was as follows:
| (in thousands of euros) | USD/EUR | GBP/EUR |
|---|---|---|
| Assets | 187,919 | 569 |
| Liabilities | -217,122 | -1,450 |
| Off balance sheet | 110,741 | -67 |
| Net position before hedging | 81,538 | -948 |
| Hedging | - | - |
| Net position after hedging | 81,538 | -948 |
| Sensitivity to a 10% change | -8,154 | 95 |
A 10% depreciation of the dollar against the euro would have a negative impact of k€8,154 on the Group's equity.
Equity risk
Gaumont and its subsidiaries are not engaged in speculative stock market operations. The risk of impairment of treasury shares remains marginal in view of the amounts invested.

Statutory auditors' report on the half-year financial statements
This part is a free translation into English of the Statutory auditors' report included in the French Rapport financier semestriel.
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your annual 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:
- the limited review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Gaumont, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2019;
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly 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.
1. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A limited 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 limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently enables a lower level of assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified than in an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly 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.
Without qualifying our conclusion, we draw your attention to the matter set out in note 1.4 "Impact of IFRS and IFRIC interpretations applicable to the Group from January 1, 2019" to the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements, which set out the impact of the mandatory application from January 1, 2019 of IFRS 16 "Leases" standard.
2. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
