Overview

2022 H11 results, a new step in the Group's turnaround: significant improvement in profitability, strong free-cash flow generation and strengthening of the financial structure

  • Group revenue at €21.1 billion, stable compared to 2021 H1, despite 11.9% decline in the Group's global sales over the period, in a still disrupted market.
  • Group operating margin at €988 million (4.7% of revenue): up €556 million and +2.6 points compared to 2021 H1.
  • Automotive operating margin at €420 million (2.1% of Automotive revenue): +€565 million (+2.8 points) despite a decrease of 136,000 vehicles compared to 2021 H1.
  • Net income from continuing operations at €657 million, up €458 million compared to 2021 H1.
  • Net income from discontinued operations at -€2.3 billion due to the non-cash adjustment related to the disposal of the Russian industrial activities announced on May 16, 2022.
  • Automotive operational free cash flow at +€956 million (including a €800 million dividend from Mobilize Financial Services) up €1,470 million compared to 2021 H1.
  • Automotive net debt reduced by €1.2 billion versus December 31, 2021, of which €522 million related to the sale of activities in Russia: -€426 million.

Success of new vehicles and acceleration of the strategy focused on value

• Group order book in Europe at 4.1 months of sales, supported by the success of new launches:

  • Renault Arkana recorded more than 100,000 orders since its launch , 60% of which are in E-TECH version and 60% on the retail channel.
  • Renault Mégane E-TECH Electric is experiencing a promising launch with already more than 25,000 orders, 75% of which are on the highest versions and 80% on the most powerful engines. The first vehicles arrived in French dealerships mid-May; its launch in European countries is underway and will continue until September.
  • Dacia Sandero remains the best-selling vehicle to retail customers in Europe.
  • With more than 30,000 orders recorded in 2022 H1, Dacia Spring 100% electric is number 1 electric vehicle sold to retail customers in France.
  • Dacia Jogger promises to be a new success with more than 50,000 orders in 6 months and a mix of more than 60% on high-end versions in Europe.
  • Alpine doubled its orders versus 2021 H1 thanks to the success of its new A110 range.
  • Product mix effect of +3.3 points on the Automotive revenue versus 2021 H1. thanks to new launches (Arkana, Jogger and Megane E-TECH Electric).
  • Performance of E-TECH sales2 that continue to grow, representing 36% of the registrations of Renault brand passenger cars in Europe (vs. 26% in 2021 H1).

1 The results presented relate to continuing operations (excluding Avtovaz and Renault Russia whose disposals were announced on May 16, 2022)

2 The E-TECH range consists of electric and hybrid vehicles

  • Acceleration of the pricing effect, which reached +7.4 points of the Automotive revenue versus 2021 H1. This effect will continue in H2 thanks to the Renaulution commercial policy.
  • Impact of raw materials price increases and cost inflation more than offset by the benefits of this new commercial policy coupled with the Group's productivity.

On May 16, 2022, the Board of Directors of Renault Group unanimously approved the signing of agreements to sell 100% of Renault Group's shares in Renault Russia to the City of Moscow and its 67.69% stake in AVTOVAZ to NAMI (the Central Institute for Research and Development of Automobiles and Engines). In addition, the agreement provides for a call option for Renault Group to buy back its stake in AVTOVAZ, exercisable at certain periods over the next 6 years.

As a result of these agreements:

  • The Russian activities were deconsolidated in Renault Group's 2022 H1 financial statements and treated as discontinued operations under IFRS 5 with retroactive effect from January 1 st, 2022.
  • The financial aggregates of continuing operations for 2022 H1 therefore no longer include the Russian industrial activities and the year 2021 has been adjusted in line with this new scope of activity.
  • The result of discontinued operations represents a loss of -€2.3 billion in 2022 H1, mainly due to the impairment of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill of AVTOVAZ and Renault Russia as well as the impairment of specific assets held by the other entities of the Group and the result of disposals on the Russian entities sold.
  • The Automotive net debt was reduced by €0.5 billion from -€1.6 billion to -€1.1 billion at December 31, 2021.

Group revenue reached €21,121 million, up +0.3% compared to 2021 H1. At constant exchange rates1 , it increased by +1.1% (negative exchange rate effect mainly related to the Turkish lira devaluation).

Automotive revenue stood at €19,574 million, up +0.3% compared to 2021 H1.

The price effect, positive by +7.4 points, reflected the continuation of our commercial policy, launched in 2020 Q3, focused on value over volume as well as price increases to offset cost inflation, and an optimization of commercial discounts. It amounted to +8.4 points in 2022 Q2 after +5.6 points in Q1.

The success of Arkana, launched in 2021 Q2, as well as those of Jogger and Mégane E-TECH Electric in H1, emphasized the renewal of Renault brand in the C segment and contributed to generate a positive product mix effect of +3.3 points.

These two effects make it possible to compensate for the loss of volume of -5.2 points, which is mainly explained by the decline of the European automotive market in connection with the shortage of semiconductors.

The impact of sales to partners, negative by -1.8 points, is mainly due to the decrease in production of diesel engines and vehicles for our partners (end of contracts of Master for Opel and Traffic for Fiat at the end of 2021).

The "Other" effect, of -2.1 points, is due to a decrease in the contribution of sales from the Renault Retail Group (RRG) network following the disposals of branches and partially offset by the aftersales performance.

The Group recorded a positive operating margin of €988 million (4.7% of revenue) versus €432 million in 2021 H1(+2.6 points).

Automotive operating margin improved by €565 million to €420 million (2.1% of Automotive revenue, or +2.8 points versus 2021 H1).

The positive mix/price/enrichment effect of +€1,548 million illustrates the success of the commercial policy focused on value over volume. This policy more than offset the negative volume effect of -€270 million and the increase in costs (raw materials, purchasing, warranty and manufacturing & logistics costs) which amounted to -€647 million. The latter is mainly explained by the sharp increase in raw materials prices (-€797 million), partially offset by the performance of purchasing (+€167 million).

The contribution of Sales Financing of Mobilize Financial Services (formerly RCI Bank and Services) to the Group's operating margin reached €582 million, down €11 million compared to 2021 H1, mainly due to the normalization of the level of risk and an average performing assets (€43.7 billion) decreasing in line with the Group's strategy to optimize vehicle stocks in the network.

The retail business recorded a 2.3% increase in new financings. The 14.8% increase in the average amount financed for new contracts offset the 10.9% decrease of the number of new financing contracts due to the decline of the Group's registrations.

In 2022 H1, Mobilize Financial Services successfully completed its first green bond issue for an amount of €500 million with a 5-year maturity. The proceeds of this issue will be used to finance electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. This issue was cashed in on July 6, 2022 and is therefore not included in the financial liabilities as at June 30, 2022.

Other operating income and expenses were negative at -€49 million (versus -€70 million in 2021 H1) and were notably explained by restructuring provisions of -€134 million and asset disposals (+€56 million) mainly related to the sale of several commercial subsidiaries of the Group and branches of RRG.

After taking into account other operating income and expenses, the Group's operating income stood at €939 million versus €362 million in 2021 H1.

Net financial income and expenses amounted to -€236 million compared to -€138 million in 2021 H1. This deterioration can be explained by the impact of hyperinflation in Argentina, the cost of debt remaining stable.

The contribution of associated companies amounted to €214 million, up by €54 million compared with the first half of 2021. This includes €325 million related to Nissan's contribution, which more than offset €111 million negative contribution from other associates, notably in connection with the impairment of Renault Nissan Bank shares in Russia.

Current and deferred taxes represented a charge of -€260 million compared to a charge of -€185 million in 2021 H1 in relation with the improvement in profit.

Net income from continuing operations was €657 million, up by €458 million compared to 2021 H1.

Net income from discontinued operations amounted to -€2.3 billion due to the non-cash adjustment related to the disposals of the Russian industrial activities.

Thus, net income was -€1,666million and net income, Group share, was -€1,357 million (or -€4.98 per share).

The cash flow of the Automotive business, excluding restructuring expenses, included €800 million of Mobilize Financial Services dividend and reached €2.6 billion, up +€0.9 billion compared to 2021 H1. This cash flow largely covered the tangible and intangible

In order to analyze the variation in consolidated revenue at constant exchange rates, Renault Group recalculates the revenue for the current period by applying average exchange rates of the previous period.

investments before asset disposals which amounted to €1.2 billion (€1.1 billion net of disposals).

Excluding the impact of asset disposals, the Group's net CAPEX and R&D rate was 8.0% of revenue compared to 9.1% in 2021 H1. It amounted to 7.5% including asset disposals.

Automotive operational free cash flow1 was positive at +€956 million taking into account -€278 million of restructuring expenses and a negative change in working capital requirement of -€275 million.

Automotive net debt amounted to -€426 million at June 30, 2022 compared to -€1.6 billion at December 31, 2021 (-€1.1 billion adjusted from the operations of AVTOVAZ and Renault Russia), or a decrease of €1.2 billion.

In2022 H1, Renault Group made an early repayment of €1 billion of the loan of a banking pool benefiting from the guarantee of the

French State (PGE) and will reimbursed, in H2, €1 billion for the mandatory annual repayment. As announced, the entire loan will be reimbursed by the end of 2023 at the latest.

As part of its Shelf Registration program, Renault SA launched on June 24, 2022 a bond issue on the Japanese market for a total amount of 80.7 billion yen (or €561 million) with a rate of 3.5% and a 3-year maturity. This issue was cashed in on July 1, 2022 and is therefore not included in the financial liabilities as at June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, total inventories of new vehicles (including the independent dealer network) represented 348,000 vehicles compared to 427,000 (including c. 12 000 vehicles in Russia) at the end of June 2021, or 60 days of sales.

Strategy and outlook 2022

Renault Group is upgrading its 2022 FY financial outlook with:

  • a Group operating margin superior to 5%, versus around 3% previously
  • an Automotive operational free cash flow superior to €1.5billion, versus positive previously

The Group confirms an impact of the semiconductor crisis estimated at 300,000 vehicles in 2022.

During its Capital Market Day in the fall, Renault Group will present an update of its Renaulution mid-term financial outlook and its strategy positioning itself as a competitive, tech and sustainable reference player.

Main risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the fiscal year

Renault Group operates in design, manufacture, marketing of vehicles and sales financing through its subsidiary Mobilize Financial Services in an environment that remains in strong evolution, particularly in terms of technology, consumption patterns and the economic context ofthe markets.

On May 16, 2022, the Board of Directors of Renault Group unanimously approved the signing of agreements to sell 100% of Renault Group's shares in Renault Russia to the City of Moscow and its 67.69%stake in AVTOVAZ to NAMI (the Central Institute for Research and Development of Automobiles and Engines). These agreements enable Renault Group to act responsibly towards its 45,000 employees in Russia while preserving the Group's performance and its ability to come back to the country in the future, in a different context. The agreement provides an option for Renault Group to buy back its stake in AVTOVAZ, exercisable at certain periods overthe next 6 years.

In this environment, Renault Group does not identify, for the next 6 months of 2022, risk factors other than those described in Chapter 4.2 of the Universal Registration Document published on 24 March2022, knowingthattheparticularrisk relatedtoRussiain the risks related to geopolitical instability and economic conditionsmaterializedduringthesemesterasmentionedabove.

Renault Group also remains exposed to the risk of disruptions in the supply chain of electronic components that affect both Renault Group and the automotive industry. This risk remains in the second half of the year and the Group estimates that it could lead to a loss of production of around 300,000 units overthe year.

(1) The 2021 financial statements have been restated in application of IFRS 5 due to the discontinued operations in the Russian Federation (see note 3-B).

Group revenue reached €21,121 million, up +0.3% compared to 2021 H1. At constant exchange rates1 , it increased by +1.1% (negative exchange rate effect mainly related to the Turkish lira devaluation).

Automotive revenue stood at €19,574 million, up +0.3% compared to 2021 H1.

The price effect, positive by +7.4 points, reflected the continuation of our commercial policy, launched in 2020 Q3, focused on value over volume as well as price increases to offset cost inflation, and an optimization of commercial discounts. It amounted to +8.4 points in 2022 Q2 after +5.6 points in Q1.

The success of Arkana, launched in 2021 Q2, as well as those of Jogger and Megane E-TECH Electric in H1, emphasized the renewal of Renault brand in the C segment and contributed to generate a positive product mix effect of +3.3 points.

These two effects make it possible to compensate for the loss of volume of -5.2 points, which is mainly explained by the decline of the European automotive market in connection with the shortage of semiconductors.

The impact of sales to partners, negative by -1.8 points, is mainly due to the decrease in production of diesel engines and vehicles for our partners (end of contracts of Master for Opel and Traffic for Fiat at the end of 2021).

In order to analyze the variation in consolidated revenue at constant exchange rates, Renault Group recalculates the revenue for the current period by applying average exchange rates of the previous period.

The "Other" effect, of -2.1 points, is due to a decrease in the contribution of sales from the Renault Retail Group (RRG) network following the disposals of branches and partially offset by the aftersales performance.

(1) The 2021 financial statements have been restated in application of IFRS 5 due to the discontinued operations in the Russian Federation (see note 3-B).

The Group recorded a positive operating margin of €988 million (4.7% of revenue) versus €432 million in 2021 H1(+2.6 points).

Automotive operating margin improved by €565 million to €420 million (2.1% of Automotive revenue, or +2.8 points versus 2021 H1).

The positive mix/price/enrichment effect of +€1,548 million illustrates the success of the commercial policy focused on value over volume. This policy more than offset the negative volume effect of -€270 million and the increase in costs (raw materials, purchasing, warranty and manufacturing & logistics costs) which amounted to -€647 million. The latter is mainly explained by the sharp increase in raw materials prices (-€797 million), partially offset by the performance of purchasing (+€167 million).

3.1.2 Automotive operational free cash flow

AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONAL FREE CASH FLOW

reached €582 million, down €11 million compared to 2021 H1, mainly due to the normalization of the level of risk and an average performing assets (€43.7 billion) decreasing in line with the Group's strategy to optimize vehicle stocks in the network.

The retail business recorded a 2.3% increase in new financings. The 14.8% increase in the average amount financed for new contracts offset the 10.9% decrease of the number of new financing contracts due to the decline of the Group's registrations.

In 2022 H1, Mobilize Financial Services successfully completed its first green bond issue for an amount of €500 million with a 5-year maturity. Theproceeds of this issue will be used to finance electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. This issue was cashed in on July 1, 2022 and is therefore not included in the financial liabilities as at June 30, 2022.

3.2.6. Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

3.2.6.1. Information on operating segments and regions

From January 1, 2022, following the disposal of Renault's investment in AVTOVAZ, the operating segments used by the Renault Group are as follows:

  • The "Automotive" segment, which comprises the production, sales, and distribution subsidiaries for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, and the subsidiaries in charge of the segment's cash management. This segment also includes investments in automotive-sector associates and joint ventures, principally Nissan.
  • The "Sales Financing" segment, which the Group considers as an operating activity in its own right, carried out for the distribution network and final customers by RCI Banque, its subsidiaries and its associates and joint ventures.

• The "Mobility Services" segment consisting of services for new mobilities.

The segment previously named AVTOVAZ, and all the discontinued operations in Russia, are now presented separately as Discontinued operations in the Automotive segment, in accordance with IFRS 5. The segment information for 2021 has been restated according to the same principles.

The segment result regularly reviewed by the Board of Management, identified as the "Chief Operating Decision-Maker", is the operating margin. The definition of this indicator is unchanged from previous years and is detailed in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021 (Note 2- D Presentation of the consolidated financial statements). The operating margin excludes restructuring costs.

3.2.6.2. Accounting policies and scope of consolidation

Note 1 - Approval of the financial statements

Groupe Renault, referred to in the financial statements as "the Renault Group" or "the Group", consists of Renault SA, its subsidiaries, joint operations, joint ventures and associates included in the scope of consolidation as presented in Note 31 to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021, except for its activities in the Russian Federation exercised by Renault Russia and Lada Auto Holding and its AVTOVAZ subsidiaries, which are presented as discontinued operations in accordance with the principles of IFRS 5 (see Note 3-B).

The Renault Group's condensed consolidated half-year financial statements at June 30, 2022 were examined at the Board of Directors' meeting of July 28, 2022.

Note 2 - Accounting policies

The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements at June 30, 2022 are compliant with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". They do not contain all the information required for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements at December 31, 2021.

The Renault Group's condensed consolidated half-year financial statements at June 30, 2022 are prepared under the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) issued by the IASB (International Accounting Standards Board) at June 30, 2022 and adopted by the European Union at the closing date. Except for the changes presented in paragraph A below, the accounting policies are identical to those applied in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2021.

2-A. Changes in accounting policies

2-A1. Changes in accounting policies

The Renault Group applies the accounting standards and amendments that have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union and are mandatory from January 1, 2022.

The Group does not at this stage anticipate that application of the amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 will have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts, published in May 18, 2017 and modified by amendments of June 25, 2020, sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures for insurance contracts. It replaces IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, and will be applicable for years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

For Renault Group, IFRS 17 mainly applies to insurance contracts issues and reassurance agreements signed by the sales Financing segment's insurance companies. Contracts will now be valued under the general "building block" approach which comprises: (1) estimates of discounted future cash flows, weighted by the probability of occurrence, (2) adjustment for non-financial risks, and (3) the contractual service margin. The contractual service margin will be recognised in the income statement based on the coverage units supplied during the period. The group will apply the simplified retrospective approach to record the impact of the transition in the financial statements at January 1, 2023.

Other standards and amendments not yet adopted by the European Union

The IASB has also published the following new standards and amendments that have not yet been adopted by the European Union.

IFRS IC interpretation concerning recognition of Targeted Long Term Refinancing Operations (TLTRO) (IFRS 9 and IAS 20)

The IFRS IC decision clarifying analysis and recognition of TLTRO III transactions became final in March 2022. This decision applies to drawings of TLTRO III financing by the Sales Financing segment, to which the Group has opted to apply IFRS 9. More details of these transactions are provided in Note 18-C.

Hyperinflation in Turkey

On March 16, 2022 Turkey was identified by the International Practices Task Force (IPTF) of the Center for Audit Quality as a country that should be considered hyperinflationary for the purposes of 2022 financial statements.

The fully consolidated entities Oyak Renault and Renault Group Otomotiv prepare their accounts for the Group consolidation in their functional currency, which is the euro since most of their transactions are conducted in euros. Consequently their accounts do not require restatement due to hyperinflation. The entities MAIS Motorlu Araclar Imal ve Satis AS and ORFIN Finansman Anonim Sirketi, which are accounted for under the equity method, use the local currency as their functional currency. The hyperinflation adjustment will be applied at December 31, 2022. Its effect on the contribution to the Group financial statements is considered non-significant.

2-B. Estimates and judgments

Specific context of first-half 2022

Renault Group's exit from the Russian Federation

As announced on May 16, 2022, Renault Group has sold its investments in Renault Russia and the AVTOVAZ Group. Consequently, those entities have been deconsolidated and are treated as discontinued operations in 2022, in compliance with IFRS 5, and the 2021 figures in the income statement and cash flow statement have been restated accordingly. Following this sale, the AVTOVAZ Group is no longer presented as a separate operating segment for the purposes of segment reporting.

Details of the impacts of this deconsolidation are provided in Note 3-B, Discontinued operations, and Renault Group's option to buy back its investment in AVTOVAZ is mentioned in Note 21-A, Off-balance sheet commitments given and contingent liabilities.

In the Sales financing segment, given Renault's exposures in the Russian Federation, the Group fully consolidates one 100% owned entity (RNL Leasing) and applies the equity method for RN Bank.

Due to uncertainty over its recoverability the equity-accounted value of RN Bank is fully written off at June 30, 2022 (see Note 12), with a negative impact of €101 million on the net income of associates and joint ventures for the first half-year. The contribution by RNL Leasing to the Group's shareholders' equity remains of low significance (€2 million) and the €26 million shareholder loan is eliminated as an intragroup operation. If this entity is deconsolidated in the future, depending on the conditions of deconsolidation a loss may have to be recognized on this shareholder loan.

Other contextual information

In 2021, business began to be affected by disruptions to supplies of electronic components in the worldwide automotive sector. The effects of the electronic components crisis intensified during the second half-year of 2021 and continued into the first half-year of 2022, with the principal consequence of lower production output. As a result, after a fall of more than 4.5% from 2020 to 2,696,401 units in 2021, sales volumes were also lower of 12% in the first half-year of 2022 than the first half-year of 2021: 1,001,109 vehicles were sold in the first half-year of 2022, compared to an adjusted volume (excluding sales in Russia) of: 1,136,366 vehicles in the same period of 2021.

The first half-year of 2022 also saw the initial impacts of rising commodity prices which are expected to accelerate in the second half-year of 2022.

To maintain a sufficient level of liquidity for its operations, in 2020 the Group arranged a €5 billion credit line guaranteed by the French government, on which it made three drawings totalling €4 billion. The €1 billion undrawn at December 31, 2021 ceased to be available at that date, and €1 billion of the August 2020 €2 billion drawing was repaid in August 2021. Further early repayments totalling €1,020 million were also made during the first half-year of 2022 (Note 18-C).

The Group also issued several bonds in 2021 (a €600 million bond in April 2021, a €1.2 billion Samurai bond in July 2021 and a €500 million bond in December 2021). The Group's Operational Free Cash Flow was positive and significant in 2021. The Group continued to issue bonds during the first half-year of 2022 (RCI Banque group issued new bonds totalling €1,217 million, a €561 million Samurai bond and a €500 million green bond were launched in June 2022 – see Note 18-C) and the Automotive segment's Operational Free Cash Flow for the first half-year of 2022 was a positive €956 million (see section 3.2.6.1-D). At the date of publication of these consolidated financial statements, the Group has sufficient cash and sources of financing to ensure continuity of operations for the next twelve months and has demonstrated its capacity to issue debt.

Expenses and income recognized that are identified as resulting wholly or partly from the components supply crisis are not considered as "Other operating income and expenses", except for expenses which due to their nature are always included in that category, such as impairment of tangible and intangible assets. Payroll costs, additional logistics costs, and depreciation on assets unused or only partially-used during the period, mainly as a result of production halts due to disrupted electronic component supplies, are allocated to the relevant functions (cost of goods and services sold, research and development expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses). The amounts concerned are not reported because it is impossible to reliably identify the amounts attributable solely to the components supply crisis.

On December 14, 2021 the Group signed an agreement including a Collective Contractual Separation plan in France for a maximum 1,153 employee departures in 2022, as part of the 3 year trade union agreement "Re-Nouveau France 2025". Through this key agreement Renault Group is making France the strategic and industrial centre of its promising future businesses, to strengthen the Group in its home country, contribute to its transformation and carry all its French businesses towards the automotive industry's new value chain. The provision recognized at December 31, 2021 was updated at June 30, 2022 (Notes 6-A and 17).

In the context of the Group's exit from the Russian Federation, workforce reduction plans, and the electronic components supply crisis, the following items in the Group's consolidated financial statements that are dependent on estimates and judgements have been paid particular attention in the first halfyear of 2022:

  • potential impairment of fixed assets, particularly impairment on specific assets linked to vehicles and goodwill (Note 10) and investments accounted for under the equity method;
  • the recoverable value of leased vehicles classified as property, plant and equipment or inventories;
  • impairment for expected credit losses concerning Sales Financing receivables (Note 13);
  • revenue recognition,
  • determination of restructuring provisions (see Notes 6-A and 17);
  • determination of risks associated with distressed suppliers;
  • determination of compliance with the requirements of IFRS 5 for reclassification of assets or groups of assets and liabilities held for sale and reporting them on specific lines in the balance sheet in the current assets and current liabilities (Note 3-C).

This list is not exhaustive due to the constantly evolving components supply crisis and its effects on the Group's financial position, and it remains very difficult to predict the magnitude and duration of the crisis-related economic impacts on our business.

Other important estimates and judgments

The Renault Group often has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the book value of certain assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made in certain notes to the financial statements. In preparing its financial statements, the Renault Group regularly revises its estimates and assessments to take account of past experience and other factors deemed relevant in view of the economic circumstances.

Principal estimates and judgments relating to environmental matters and climate issues

The main estimates and judgments relating to climate and environmental questions are the following:

  • Estimation of the risks associated with regulations on air pollution and CO2 emissions (specifically the potential impact from 2020 of the CAFE- - "Corporate Average Fuel Economy" regulation, which fines automakers if they exceed the average threshold for CO2 emissions by European-registered vehicles in each calendar year (see Note 21);
  • Estimation of the consequences of commitments made in connection with environmental and climate issues for the value of Renault Group assets over their useful lives. At this stage, no impact has been identified on either the useful lives or the recoverable value of our tangible and intangible assets. Analysis of the useful lives of production assets, particularly against the background of changing markets, the growing proportion of electric vehicles and the Group's circular economy decisions (the "Re-factories" at Flins and Seville) is conducted for each half-year and annual closing: this had no impact on the financial statements for 2021 and the first half-year of 2022.

• Use of a growth rate to infinity, for impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, that reflects the effects of commitments made by the States that are signatories to the Paris Agreements on climate change. Using such a rate has no impact since the recoverable value of the assets concerned is still significantly higher than their book value.

Other judgments

The main items in the Group's consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2022 that are dependent on estimates and judgments are the following:

• capitalization of research and development expenses and their amortization period (Notes 5 and 10-A),

  • recognition of deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards (Note 8),
  • provisions, particularly warranty provisions on vehicles and batteries sold (Note 17-B), provisions for pensions and other long-term employee benefit obligations (Note 17-A), provisions for workforce adjustment measures (Note 6-A), provisions for legal risks and tax risks other than income tax risks and provisions for uncertain tax liabilities,
  • valuation of lease liabilities, particularly the incremental borrowing rates and the value of renewal and termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised (Note 18).

Note 3 - Changes in the scope of consolidation, discontinued operations and assets and liabilities held for sale

3-A. Changes in the scope of consolidation

The principal changes concerning the scope of consolidation in the first half-year of 2022 were the following.

Starting from the first half-year of 2022, the Group fully consolidates the Turkish-based company Renault Group Otomotiv A.S., which was set up at the end of 2021 for new industrial and commercial projects and is fully-owned by Renault.

In March 2022 the Group acquired a 13.7% stake in Beyonca HK Limited, a company in which it exercises significant influence, for the price of €18 million followed by a €29 million capital increase. This company is accounted for under the equity method.

On 15 May 2022 the Group sold its subsidiary Renault Russia to the city of Moscow and its 67.69% investment in AVTOVAZ to NAMI (the Central Research and Development Automobile and Engine Institute) for a respective sale price of one rouble. The sale agreement gives Renault Group an option to buy back its investment, which can be exercised during certain periods over the next six years. The contribution made by these entities to the condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2022 is presented under discontinued operations, in accordance with IFRS 5. The accounting effects are described in Note3-B below.

In May 2022, the Group sold the distribution company Renault Nordic AB, which operates in the Swedish and Danish markets, for the price of €37 million of which €14 million will be paid over the next five years.

The Group finalized determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities transferred from BI-PI Mobility SL and its subsidiaries, of which it purchased 100% in July 2021 for the price of €67 million. This company specializes in flexible vehicle rentals. The principal adjustments concern the brand, recognized at the value of €8 million, and the technology, recognized at the value of €5 million. The final goodwill is calculated at €59 million.

3-B. Discontinued operations

On March 23, 2022, Renault Group announced the suspension of Renault Russia's activities and said it was assessing the available options for its investment in AVTOVAZ. The Group stated that impairment of its tangible and intangible assets and goodwill in Russia, estimated at €2,195 million at December 31, 2022, would be recognized during the first halfyear of 2022. A press release of 12 May 2022 confirmed that this impairment had been booked at March 31, 2022. It was then announced on May 16, 2022 that agreements had been signed to sell 100% of the shares in Renault Russia to the city of Moscow and the 67.69% stake in Lada Auto Holding (the parent company of AVTOVAZ) to NAMI (the Central Research and Development Automobile and Engine Institute). This led to deconsolidation of Renault Russia and the AVTOVAZ Group during the first half-year of 2022.

The table below provides details of the income statement for these discontinued operations from January 1 to April 30, 2022, together with the gain on the sale of the shares in Renault Russia and Lada Auto Holding and the effects of the sale (debt waiver, repayment of some of the financial debt of Renault Russia, etc). As the sales and operating margin of Renault Russia and AVTOVAZ were not material between May 1 and May 15, 2022, the date of the sale, it has been considered for simplicity's sake that the loss of control took place on April 30, 2022. The results of these two entities are reported as results of discontinued operations, in accordance with IFRS 5.

(1) In 2022 this includes €(2,217) million of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets (€1,185 million) and property, plant and equipment (€1,032 million) of Renault Russia and AVTOVAZ recorded prior to the sale and of other Group companies holding assets specific to the business in the Russian Federation and of other Group companies holding assets specific to the business in the Russian Federation, €110 million corresponding to the gain on sale of the shares in Renault Russia and AVTOVAZ including translation adjustments transferred to profit and loss, and €(234) million of debt waivers.

In application of IFRS 5, the cash flow items of Renault Russia, AVTOVAZ and its subsidiaries, sales by Group companies to the Russian entities, and impairment of assets located outside the Russian Federation that lost value as a direct result of the Group's exit from the Russian Federation, have also been classified as discontinued operations. The statement of consolidated comprehensive net income, and the statement of consolidated cash flows for 2021, have been restated accordingly.

3-C. Assets and liabilities held for sale

In application of its strategic plan "Renaulution", the Group has started to sell certain real estate assets (land, industrial sites), branches (in France) and vehicle distribution subsidiaries (outside France). Consequently, when a sale is highly probable within the next twelve months, as evidenced by advanced discussions with an identified purchaser, the assets and liabilities concerned are reclassified in accordance with IFRS 5 as "assets held for sale" and "liabilities related to assets held for sale".

At June 30, 2022 the group of assets and liabilities held for sale consists of €814 million of assets and €128 million of debts and other liabilities.

(1) The 2021 financial statements have been restated in application of IFRS 5 due to the discontinued operations in the Russian Federation (see Note 3-B).

The decrease in Research and Development expenses over the first half-year of 2022 is notably attributable to higher capitalized development expenses.

Amortization of capitalized development expenses was lower in the first half-year of 2022 than the first half-year of 2021, notably due to asset impairment recognized in 2021, and revisions of certain useful lives. This amortization is thus lower than the amount of capitalized expenses in the first half-year of 2022.

Note 8 - Current and deferred taxes

As Renault SA elected to determine French income taxes under the domestic tax consolidation regime when it was formed, this is the regime applicable to the Group in which Renault SA is taxed in France.

Renault Group also applies other optional tax consolidation systems in Germany, Italy, Spain, Romania, the Netherlands and the UK.

The current income tax charge for entities included in the French tax consolidation group amounts to €(20) million in the first half-year of 2022 (€(92) million in the year 2021 including €(30) million in the first half-year of 2021).

The effective tax rate for non-French entities was 19% (24% in 2021 and 26% in the first half-year of 2021). The effective tax rate is not relevant to the French tax consolidation due to the existence of tax losses which are largely unrecognized.

10-C. Impairment tests on vehicle-specific assets (including components) and the assets of certain entities

The tangible and intangible assets of Renault Russia and AVTOVAZ were fully written off during the first quarter of 2022, prior to the sale of the investments in Renault Russia and Lada Auto Holding. This impairment is classified under Discontinued operations in the consolidated income statement.

Impairment tests of specific assets dedicated to vehicles (including components) and assets belonging to certain entities did not lead to recognition of any impairment in the first halfyear of 2022. In 2021, impairment tests led to recognition of €(78) million of impairment (none of it booked during the first half-year), comprising €(48) million for intangible assets and €(30) million for property, plant and equipment. This impairment was allocated in priority to capitalized development expenses.

A further €(71) million of impairment was also recognized in 2021, notably after decisions to discontinue production or terminate leases. This impairment did not result from impairment testing.

No recovery of impairment was recognized in the first half-year of 2022.

10-D. Impairment tests of country-specific assets or cash-generating units of the Automotive segment

Automotive segment

Renault's market capitalization (€7,035 million at June 30, 2022, based on the number of shares outstanding less treasury shares) is lower than the value of the Group's shareholders' equity. In view of the results of the December 2021 impairment test and the results for the first half-year of 2022, it was not considered necessary to perform another impairment test at June 30, 2022. A sensitivity analysis on the test conducted in 2021 using the after-tax discount rate as updated at 30 June 2022 did not indicate any risk of impairment.

The recoverable value used for the impairment test conducted for the Automotive segment in 2021 was the value in use, determined under the discounted future cash flow method on the basis of the following assumptions:

December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Growth rate to infinity 1.0 % 1.2 %
After-tax discount rate 8.9 % 9.2 %

The assumptions used for impairment testing at December 31, 2021 were derived from the medium-term plan for the period 2021-2025, which was presented in January 2021 and updated in late 2021. They included volume assumptions based on unfavourable market trends, mostly caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and assumed a return to pre-pandemic volume levels in 2024-2025 for the European market, and starting from the second half-year of 2022 in other regions of the world where the Group does business. The negative effects of the components supply crisis for 2022 were also factored into the 2021 impairment test.

The growth rates to infinity used in the test at December 31, 2021 included the impacts of commitments made by the States that are signatories to the Paris Agreements on climate change.

At December 31, 2021, it was concluded that no reasonably possible change in the main assumptions used should result in a recoverable value lower than the book value of the assets tested. The recoverable value of the assets tested would remain higher than the book value in the event of the following changes in those assumptions:

  • A growth rate to infinity of 0%.
  • An after-tax discount rate of 11%.

11-E. Valuation of Renault Group's investment in Nissan at stock market prices

Based on the quoted price at June 30, 2022 of ¥528 per share, Renault's investment in Nissan is valued at €6,833 million (€7,812 million at December 31, 2021 based on the price of ¥556 per share).

11-F. Impairment test of the investment in Nissan

At June 30, 2022, the stock market value of the investment was 59,5% lower than the value of Nissan in Renault's statement of financial position (51.9% at December 31, 2021).

In application of the approach presented in the Note on accounting policies, an impairment test was carried out at December 31, 2021. An after-tax discount rate of 6.53% and a growth rate to infinity (including the effect of inflation) of 1.47% were used to calculate value in use. The terminal value was calculated under profitability assumptions consistent with Nissan's past data and conservative medium and long-term prospects, incorporating new medium-term forecasts for volumes and exchange rates.

It was not considered necessary to conduct a further impairment test at June 30, 2022, as no triggering event as identified by IAS 36 was identified.

11-G. Operations between the Renault Group and the Nissan Group

Automotive and Sales Financing

Renault Group and Nissan follow joint strategies for vehicle and component development, purchasing, production and distribution resources. This cooperation is reflected in synergies that reduce costs.

The Automotive segment is involved in operations with Nissan on two levels:

  • Industrial production: cross-over production of vehicles and components in the Alliance's manufacturing plants:
  • In the first half-year of 2022, total sales by the Automotive segment to Nissan and purchases by the Automotive segment from Nissan amounted to an estimated €0.9 billion and €0.8 billion respectively (€1.8 billion and €1.6 billion respectively in 2021, including €0.9 billion and €0.7 billion for the first half-year).
  • In the first half-year of 2022, the balance of Automotive segment receivables on the Nissan group is €447 million and the balance of Automotive segment liabilities to the Nissan group is €507 million (€424 million and €607 million respectively at December 31, 2021).
  • Finance: in addition to its activity for Renault, Renault Finance acts as the Nissan group's counterparty in financial instruments trading to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks. In the balance sheet, the derivative assets on the Nissan group amount to €406 million at June 30, 2022 (€11 million at December 31, 2021) and derivative

liabilities amount to €137 million at June 30, 2022 (€34 million at December 31, 2021).

Renault Group's Sales Financing segment helps to attract customers and build loyalty to Nissan brands through a range of financing products and services incorporated into the sales policy, principally in Europe. In the first half-year of 2022, RCI Banque recorded €43 million of service revenues in the form of commission and interest received from Nissan (€75 million in 2021, of which €52 million were recorded in the first half-year). The balance of Sales Financing receivables on the Nissan group is €37 million at June 30, 2022 (€32 million at December 31, 2021) and the balance of liabilities is €126 million at June 30, 2022 (€121 million at December 31, 2021).

18-C. Changes in financial liabilities and Sales Financing debts

Changes in redeemable shares of the Automotive segment

The redeemable shares issued in October 1983 and April 1984 by Renault SA are subordinated perpetual shares listed on the Paris Stock Exchange. They earn a minimum annual return of 9% comprising a 6.75% fixed portion and a variable portion that depends on consolidated revenues and is calculated based on identical Group structure and methods. The sale of our automotive businesses in Russia thus had no effect on this rate of return.

Redeemable shares are stated at amortized cost, calculated by discounting the forecast interest coupons at the effective interest rate of the borrowing.

These shares are traded for €320.00 at June 30, 2022 (€442.00 at December 31, 2021). The financial liability based on the stock market value of the redeemable shares at June 30, 2022 is €255 million (€353 million at December 31, 2021).

Changes in bonds and other debts of the Automotive segment

As part of its Shelf Registration program, Renault SA launched a bond on the Japanese market on June 24, 2022 for a total of ¥80.7 billion (equivalent to €561 million), with a 3.5% coupon and 3-year maturity. The proceeds of this issue were received on July 1, 2022 and are not included in financial liabilities at June 30, 2022.

State-guaranteed credit facility of the Automotive segment

In 2020, the Renault Group opened a credit line with a pool of five banks, for the maximum amount of €5 billion covered by a French State guarantee for up to 90% of the amount borrowed. At December 31, 2020, €4 billion had been drawn on this credit line in three tranches: €2 billion drawn on August 5, 2020, €1 billion on September 22, 2020 and €1 billion on December 23, 2020.

The initial maturity for each drawing was 12 months, and Renault had the option to extend the maturity by a further three years, with repayment of one third each year. The interest rate on each drawing was indexed on the 12-month Euribor for the first year, then the 6-month Euribor for any extensions. If extended, these credit drawings were be repayable in one-third instalments in 2022, 2023 and 2024 on the anniversary dates of the initial drawings, with the possibility of early repayment of outstanding instalments (of at least €330 million of the principal) at Renault Group's initiative.

The Group exercised the extension options on all these drawings except for the drawing maturing in August 2021, of which €1 billion was repaid.

As announced on February 18, 2022, three early repayments of €340 million each were made on February 7, March 22 and June 23, 2022, corresponding to the final instalment (August, September and December 2024) in the three branches. The change of intent was treated as a modification of a financial liability in compliance with IFRS 9, paragraph B5.4.6. This led to a decrease in the financial liability with recognition of a corresponding amount of €29 million in financial income.

Changes in Sales Financing debts

On June 27, 2022 the RCI Group issued a €500 million, 5-year green bond with a 4.75% coupon. The proceeds of this issue were received on July 6, 2022 and are not included in financial liabilities at June 30, 2022.

In the first half-year of 2022, RCI Banque group issued new bonds totalling €1,217 million with maturities between 2023 and 2027, and redeemed bonds for a total of €2,618 million.

The Group had access to the TLTRO III program (targeted longterm refinancing operations) set up by the European Central Bank (ECB).

  • Three drawings were made during 2020, of a total €1,750 million maturing in 2023.
  • Two further drawings were made during 2021, of a total €1,500 million maturing in 2024.

The Group opted to apply IFRS 9 to its drawings on the TLTRO III program, considering the interest rate set by the European Central Bank as a market rate since it applies to all banks that benefit from the program, and the European Central Bank decides the rate and can change it unilaterally at any time.

The initial effective interest rate on TLTRO drawings takes account of the Group's achievement of loan grant targets set for the reference period ending in March 2021. The ECB confirmed that these targets had been met in September 2021. Based on its initial expectations, the Group's estimates did not include achievement of loan grant targets in the special additional reference period. As a result, the interest rate changes presented in ECB decision 2021/124 of January 29, 2021 had no impact on future estimated cash flows relating to the borrowing, and did not therefore affect the accounting treatment of the drawings.

On June 10, 2022 the Group received confirmation that loan grant targets for the special additional reference period had been met (October 2020 – December 2021), and that consequently it will benefit from an interest rate reduction (June 2021-June 2022). In application of the current provisions of IFRS 9, this rate reduction gives rise to a €14 million adjustment to TLTRO liability items in accordance with paragraph B5.4.6.

RCI Banque Group also had access to the Bank of England's TFSME (Term Funding for SMEs) scheme in 2020, and in 2021 made a drawing of £409 million maturing in September and October 2025.

The maximum interest rate applicable to this financing during 2021 was calculated as the Bank of England's base rate (1.25% at June 30, 2022) plus a margin of 0.25%. RCI Banque Group could be granted a more favourable rate if it meets certain eligibility criteria, notably concerning growth in loans granted over a period ending in June 2021.

RCI Banque Group applied IFRS 9 to this financing, considering this adjustable rate as a market rate because it is applicable to all banks benefiting from the TFSME scheme. The effective interest rate has been set at the maximum level as the Group does not expect to meet the loan grant growth criterion.

New savings collected rose by €489 million during the year (€851 million of sight deposits and (€362) million of term deposits) to €21,508 million (€16,574 million of sight deposits and €4,934 million of term deposits), and are classified as other interest-bearing borrowings. These savings are collected in Germany, Austria, Brazil, Spain, France, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

To hedge certain floating-rate liabilities (savings collected and TLTRO financing), RCI Banque set up interest rate derivatives that do not qualify as hedging derivatives under IFRS 9. The net operating income was positively affected by a €58 million increase in the value of these swaps due to the current rise in interest rates.

The financial liabilities of the Mobility Services segment consist of internal Group financing issued by Renault sas in the form of interest-bearing loans.

Automotive segment financing by assignment of receivables -financing for the independent dealer network

Some of the Automotive segment's external financing comes from assignment of commercial receivables to non-Group financial establishments and intragroup assignments to the Sales Financing segment. The Sales Financing segment also contributes to the financing of inventories sold by the Automotive segment to the independent dealer network.

The Group does not undertake any non-deconsolidating assignments.

Details of financing by assignment of commercial receivables and financing of the dealer network by the Sales Financing segment are as follows:

June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 December 31, 2021
To non-group To Sales To non-group To Sales To non-group To Sales
(€ million) entities Financing entities Financing entities Financing
Assignment of Automotive receivables 1,299 389 1,308 378 1,373 181
Automotive independent dealer financing 0 4,949 0 5,742 0 4,876
Total assigned 1,299 5,338 1,308 6,120 1,373 5,057

(1) The 2021 financial statements have been restated in application of IFRS 5 due to the discontinued operations in the Russian Federation (see Note 3-B).

In the first half-year of 2022, the total amount of tax receivables assigned and derecognized is €136 million, principally comprising CIR receivables (€139 million of CIR receivables and €66 million of VAT receivables in 2021).

French tax receivables assigned outside the Group (the "CIR" Research Tax Credit), with transfer of substantially all the risks and benefits associated with ownership of the receivables, are only derecognized if the risk of dilution is deemed to be nonexistent. This is notably the case when the assigned receivables have already been subject to a tax inspection or preliminary audit. No assigned tax receivables remained in the balance sheets at June 30, 2022.

The assigned receivables are derecognized when the associated risks and benefits are substantially transferred, as described in Note 2-P to the 2021 consolidated financial statements.

The Automotive segments assigns its dealership receivables to the Sales financing segment. The total dealership receivables transferred to the Sales financing segment principally concerns Renault group. The amounts are presented in Note 13-B.

Automotive segment financing by reverse factoring programs

The accounting treatment for these programs is described in Note 2-P to the 2021 consolidated financial statements, Assignment of receivables and reverse factoring.

The Group did not use reverse factoring programs in 2022, and consequently there are no financial liabilities for reverse factoring at June 30, 2022 (as at December 31, 2021).

Note 21 - Off-balance sheet commitments and contingent assets and liabilities

In the course of its business, Renault enters into a certain number of commitments, and is involved in litigations or subject to investigations by competition and automotive regulation authorities. Any liabilities resulting from these situations (e.g. pensions and other employee benefits, litigation costs, etc.) are covered by provisions. Details of other commitments that constitute off-balance sheet commitments and contingent liabilities are provided below (Note 21-A).

Renault also receives commitments from customers (deposits, mortgages, etc.) and may benefit from credit lines with credit institutions (Note 21-B).

21-A. Off-balance sheet commitments given and contingent liabilities

21-A1. Ordinary operations

The Group is committed for the following amounts:

(€ million) June 30, 2022 December 31, 2021

(1) Assets pledged as guarantees by the Sales Financing segment for management of its liquidity reserve are presented in Note 21-A4.

(2) Financing commitments in favour of customers by the Sales Financing segment will give rise to cash outflows mostly during the three months following the end of the period.

(3) Financial guarantees given by the Sales Financing segment will give rise to cash outflows amounting to €183 million during the 12-month period following the end of the period.

(4) Other financial guarantees given mainly concern administrations.

(5) These commitments include minimum payment obligations to suppliers when the Group has made a firm commitment for collection and payment. These multiyear commitments will give rise to cash outflows during the nine years following the 2022 year-end. The maximum payable within one year is €345 million at June 30, 2022 (€300 million at December 31, 2021). Irrevocable commitments at June 30, 2022 were essentially made to secure battery supplies for electric vehicles.

(6) Lease commitments comprise commitments relating to leases signed but not yet effective at the end of the period which cannot be included in the statement of financial position as assets in progress, leases that are outside the scope of IFRS 16 and leases exempt from the accounting treatment prescribed by IFRS 16. (7) Notably stock options granted.

21-A2. Contingent liabilities

Group companies are periodically subject to tax inspections in the countries in which they operate. Accepted tax adjustments are recorded as provisions in the financial statements. Contested tax adjustments are recognized on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the risk that the proceedings or appeals undertaken may be unsuccessful. Tax liabilities are recognized via provisions when there are uncertainties over the determination of taxes.

On December 19, 2019 Renault s.a.s. received provisional notification of a tax reassessment on transfer prices in 2016, and an additional notification was received on June 24, 2021 concerning the years 2017 and 2018. Renault Group is challenging the most significant amounts of these provisional notifications, and no provision was recognized in the financial statements at December 31, 2021 in connection with this matter.

RESA (Renault España SA) was notified of a €213 million tax reassessment for transfer prices at December 31, 2020, which Renault Group is contesting. A procedure for amicable settlement between France and Spain was begun in 2021. No provision has been recognized in connection with this notification, since Renault Group considers that it has good chances of winning its case. A deposit of €213 million has been paid to the Spanish tax authorities (€135 million in 2020 and €78 million in 2021). It is recognized in noncurrent financial assets and presented in cash flows from investing activities (in the Decrease (Increase) in loans of the Automotive segment ) in the consolidated cash flow statement.

Disposals of subsidiaries or businesses by the Group generally include representations and warranties in the buyer's favour. At June 30, 2022, the Group has not identified any significant risk in connection with these operations.

Group companies are periodically subject to investigations by the authorities in the countries in which they operate. When the resulting financial consequences are accepted, they are recognized in the financial statements via provisions. When they are contested, they are recognized on a case-by-case basis, based on estimates that take into account the risk that the proceedings or appeals undertaken may be unsuccessful.

The main investigations by the competition and automotive regulations authorities in progress at December 31, 2022 concern illegal agreements and the level of vehicle emissions in Europe.

In the ongoing "emissions" affair in France, in which a formal legal investigation was opened on January 12, 2017 at the request of the Paris public prosecution office, Renault s.a.s. was officially placed under investigation for deceit on June 8, 2021.

In July 2021 Renault Group paid bail of €20 million (included in the balance sheet) to guarantee its representation throughout the proceedings and to cover payment of any damages and fines. It also issued a €60 million bank guarantee on October 8, 2021 to cover compensation for any prejudice identified. Renault Group denies having committed any offence. All Renault Group vehicles are, and always have been, type-approved in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

The potential consequences of the next steps in these ongoing proceedings cannot be reliably estimated at this stage, and no provision was recognized in connection with this matter at June 30, 2022 (nor at December 31, 2021 and 2020).

Approximately 70% of the Group's sales in 2021 weresubject to CO2 emission regulations, principally in the European Union but also especially in China, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and South Korea.

In 2020 and 2021, the three members of the Alliance - Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. – signed agreements to pool their CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) targets for the European Union. The potential noncompliance penalties payable to the authorities concerned are determined at the level of the group formed by the Alliance's three automakers. It is highly likely that a similar CAFE target pooling agreement will be signed for 2022. Renault did not recognize any provision in connection with the EU CAFE regulation at June 30, 2022 (nor at June 30 or December 31, 2021).

Renault Group confirmed in a press release of January 4, 2021 that it had achieved its CAFE targets for passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles in 2020, subject to validation by the European Commission. The validation process was still ongoing at the date of publication of these financial statements.

Renault Group also confirmed in a press release of January 17, 2022 that it had achieved its CAFE targets for passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles in 2021 (these results are due to be consolidated and officialized by the European Commission in the next few months). Based on the estimates available for 2022, the current year targets should also be met.

A provision of €5 million was recognized at June 30, 2022 for CAFE penalties payable for 2022 in South Korea, raising the total provision for the years 2019 to 2022 to €40 million.

Group companies are also subject to the applicable regulations regarding pollution, notably of soil and ground water. These regulations vary depending on the country of location. Some of the associated environmental liabilities are potential and will only be recognized in the accounts if the activity is discontinued or the site closed. It is also sometimes difficult to determine the amount of the obligation reliably. Provisions are only established for liabilities that correspond to a legal or constructive obligation at the closing date, and can be estimated with reasonable reliability.

Since March 2022, Renault has been under investigation by the European Commission and the UK's Competition and Markets Authority for participating in an alleged collusion between several automakers and automotive industry bodies for the collection and processing of end-of-life vehicles. The European Commission in particular carried out inspections and raids on Renault premises in March 2022, with the aim of collecting evidence that automakers had made an agreement not to pay the recycling centres handling end-of-life vehicles if those centres could reuse parts and materials retrieved from the vehicles collected.

As it is currently too soon to estimate the potential consequences of these two investigations, no provision is recognized in connection with this matter at June 30, 2022.

21-A3. Share purchase commitments given

When the Group grants put options to minority shareholders to sell their investments in fully consolidated companies, a liability corresponding to the option is recognized, with a reduction in shareholders' equity – non-controlling interests' share.

The Group has granted minority shareholders of Banco RCI Brasil, Rombo Compania Financiera, RCI Colombia S.A., RCI Financial Services s.r.o put options to sell their investments. The accounting consequences are explained in Note 18-H to the 2021 consolidated financial statements.

Partnership agreements were signed in 2018 with Oyak in Turkey, including perfectly symmetrical put and call options for noncontrolling investments, entitling Renault s.a.s., subject to certain conditions, to purchase Oyak's shares in Oyak Renault (call) and to sell its shares in MAIS (put), and entitling Oyak to sell its shares in Oyak Renault (put) and purchase Renault s.a.s.'s shares in MAIS (call). The exercise price for the put option, if exercised, will be determined by three independent experts who would be appointed at the exercise date. Analysis of the contracts did not identify any circumstances beyond the control of Renault Group that could lead to Oyak exercising its put option without Renault Group being able to object. Consequently, no liability is recognized at December 31, 2021 and at June 30, 2022 in connection with these options.

21-A4. Assets pledged as guarantees for management of the liquidity reserve

For management of its liquidity reserve, the Sales Financing segment has provided guarantees to the Banque de France (under France's central collateral management system 3G - Gestion Globale des Garanties) and to the Bank of England (under the TFSME program) in the form of assets with book value of €6,627 million at June 30, 2022 (€7,111 million at December 31, 2021). These assets comprise €6,108 million of shares in securitization vehicles, and €519 million of sales financing receivables (€6,628 million of shares in securitization vehicles, €3 million of euro bonds and €480 million of sales financing receivables at December 31, 2021). At June 30, 2022 the financing provided against these guarantees amounts to €3,250 million from the Banque de France (€3,738 million at December 31, 2021) and €478 million from the Bank of England. All assets provided as guarantees to the Banque de France and the Bank of England remain in the balance sheet.

Off-balance sheet commitments received concerning confirmed opened credit lines and a bond issue are presented in Note 18.

Commitments received – share purchase options

The Group has a call option to increase its investment in Whylot to 70% and take control of the company by 2023 (Note 3). This option is conditional on Whylot achieving certain objectives, and was not exercisable at December 31, 2021. No liability is recognized in connection with this commitment.

The Group holds derivative instruments to subscribe to future capital increases by Verkor, without any prospect of taking control of the company. No liability is recognized in connection with this commitment.

The agreement for the sale by Renault Group of its investments in Renault Russia and the AVTOVAZ Group, which took place on May 15, 2022, gives Renault Group an option to buy back its investment in Lada Auto holding (the parent company of AVTOVAZ), exercisable during three 90-day periods starting on May 15, 2024, 2026 and 2028. The exercise price of this option is

Note 22 - Subsequent events

No significant events have occurred since June 30, 2022.

one rouble, plus a commitment by Renault Group to make a cash contribution to AVTOVAZ over 4 years, of an amount to be determined at Renault Group's discretion by reference to the sum of non-refundable subsidies received from the Russian State, cash contributions to assets and/or the share capital of AVTOVAZ, and the accumulated profits of the AVTOVAZ Group calculated under IFRS between the date of Renault's sale of its investment in AVTOVAZ and the date at which the repurchase option is exercised.

The amount of this contribution will determine the ownership interest acquired by Renault Group (between 51% and 67.69%). A €400 million contribution will automatically give the Group a 51% investment.

The derivative corresponding to this option has nil value at June 30, 2022.

Statutory Auditors' Review Report on the Half-yearly Financial Information 2022

(Forthe six-month period ended June 30, 2022)

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors'review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed inaccordance with, French law and professional standardsapplicable in France.

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your general meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III ofthe French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire etfinancier"), we hereby reportto you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Renault, for the period from January 1 st to June 30th, 2022,
  • the verification ofthe information presented in the half-yearly managementreport.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and were approved on July 28, 2022. Ourrole is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on ourreview.

I. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted ourreview in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.

A 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 review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

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.

II. Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subjectto ourreview prepared on July 28, 2022.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
