Note 1 - Introduction

This unaudited consolidated financial information of Legrand is presented for a nine-month period ending September 30, 2014. This unaudited consolidated financial information should be read in accordance with consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 such as established in the Registration document (Document de référence) deposited under visa no D.14-0274 with the French security regulator (Autorité des Marchés Financiers) on April 2, 2014.

All the amounts are presented in millions of euros unless otherwise indicated. Some totals may include rounding differences.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable or authorized for early adoption from January 1, 2014.

None of the IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that have not been adopted for use in the European Union are applicable to the Group.

The Group has decided not to apply IFRIC 21 in early 2014, as this interpretation is not expected to impact significantly the Group's financial statements. Such application should only have a timing impact between quarters in the recognition of certain levies but should be neutral on a full year basis.

Note 2 - Changes in the scope of consolidation
