NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The SPIE Group, operating under the brand name SPIE, is the independent European leader in electrical and mechanical engineering and HVAC services, energy and communication systems.

SPIE SA is a joint-stock company (société anonyme) incorporated in Cergy (France), listed on the Euronext Paris regulated market since June 10, 2015. The Company's head office is located at 10 Avenue de l'Entreprise, 95863 Cergy-Pontoise Cedex, France.

The SPIE Group interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 5, 2025.

Accounting policies and measurement methods

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

2.1. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

In accordance with European regulation 1606/2002 dated July 19, 2002 on international accounting standards, the consolidated financial statements of SPIE Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union at December 31, 2024.

The accounting principles used to prepare the consolidated financial statements result from the application of:

  • All the standards and interpretations published by the IASB and adopted by the European Union, the application of which is mandatory at December 31, 2024;
  • Standards that the Group has early-adopted;
  • Accounting positions adopted in the absence of specific guidance in IFRS.

International Financial Reporting Standards include International Accounting Standards (IAS) and interpretations issued by the Standards Interpretations Committee (SIC) and the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRS-IC).

2.2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements are set out in Note 3.

New standards and interpretations applicable from January 1, 2024

The new standards and interpretations applicable from January 1, 2024 are the following:

  • Amendment to IAS 1: "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current";
  • Amendment to IFRS 16: "Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback";
  • Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: "Supplier Finance Arrangements"

The Group did not identify any significant impact at the application of these other standards and amendments.

The standards, interpretations and amendments already published by the IASB but not yet adopted by the European Union and which could have an impact are as follows:

  • IFRS 18: "Presentation and disclosure of financial statements".

The Group is currently carrying out an analysis of the impacts and practical consequences of applying these standards.

2.3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS is based on management's estimates and assumptions used to estimate the value of assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial position as well as income and expenses for the period. Actual results could be different from those estimates.

The main sources of uncertainty relating to critical judgment and estimates concern the impairment of goodwill, employee benefits, the recognition of revenue and profit margin on long-term service agreements, provisions for contingencies and expenses and the recognition of deferred tax assets.

Management continually reviews its estimates and assumptions on the basis of its past experience and various factors deemed reasonable, which form a basis for its evaluation of the carrying value of assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions may be amended in subsequent periods and require adjustments that may affect future revenue, provisions and deferred tax assets.

2.4. ASSESSMENTS OF THE FINANCIAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGES

SPIE has defined its climate strategy associated with the following targets for 2025:

  • Attain 50% of revenue aligned with the European Taxonomy on climate change mitigation;
  • Reduce the Group's carbon footprint by 25% compared to 2019 (Scopes 1 & 2);
  • Act upon the carbon footprint of its upstream value chain (Scope 3). 67% of our purchases must be made from suppliers who have set ambitious targets for reducing their carbon footprint;
  • Reduce emissions from business travel and commuting by 20% compared to 2019.

These carbon footprint reduction targets have been submitted to the Science-Based Targets initiative for validation of a 1.5°C ambition for Scopes 1 and 2, and a "Well below 2°C" ambition for Scope 3.

SPIE operates in a predominantly European environment, characterized by diversified markets and balanced exposure in terms of customer portfolio, business lines and geographies.

Through its integrated service offerings, SPIE provides solutions for the implementation of energy optimization systems in the fields of infrastructure installation and renovation, intelligent energy systems, renewable energy production, nuclear energy, and information and communication systems.

Thanks to its expertise and a range of technical solutions for energy efficiency and services dedicated to renewable energies, adapted to the changes affecting its customers, both private and public, SPIE is positioned as a major player in the energy transition of its various stakeholders, who are increasingly attentive to eco-responsible energy consumption. In so doing, SPIE advises and assists them in reducing their carbon footprint. These concerns about climate change and the resulting tightening of environmental standards (European Green Deal, Fit for 55) represent a short- and medium-term development opportunity for the Group. The substantial contribution of SPIE's services to climate change mitigation is measured against the European Taxonomy.

The Group is also working to reduce its own carbon footprint, in particular by taking action on its vehicle fleet, associated charging infrastructure and real estate assets, and by developing a sustainable purchasing policy, as detailed in the sustainability report. In this way, SPIE is anticipating the wider implementation of more stringent environmental regulations, such as Very Low Emission Zones or the ban on the sale of new combustion-powered vehicles.

The SPIE Group's Sustainable Development Director sits on the SPIE Executive Committee, ensuring that climate issues are integrated at the highest level of the organization. Since 2022, for example, SPIE has indexed all its refinancing to the climate objectives of aligning sales with the European taxonomy and reducing its carbon footprint across its entire value chain. The risk of failing to meet the company's climate objectives is thus associated with the assessment of financial risk, with bonus and penalty mechanisms in some financing contracts.

It should be remembered that the nature of the services provided by SPIE makes it an asset-light business; the Group is therefore intrinsically very insensitive to the risk of its assets being impaired by the physical effects of climate change or by transition risks. The latter were reassessed in 2024.

In 2024, the subsidiaries' strategic plans, including medium- and long-term growth and margin forecasts for the SPIE Group, took into account all the opportunities and risks associated with climate change, in terms of both business and profitability.

Goodwill impairment tests have therefore been carried out in line with the growth forecasts set out in the strategic plan. They are in line with the Group's 2025 climate transition plan. The financial impact of the climate transition plan and transition risks for the SPIE Group is moderate, insofar as the main decarbonization levers identified, such as the electrification of the vehicle fleet or improving the energy performance of buildings, are also sources of savings for the Group.

In view of the impacts identified, no revision of the valuation of assets and liabilities in the Group's consolidated balance sheet has been necessary.

SPIE considers the impact of climate change on its financial statements to be consistent with its commitments and actions in favor of the climate. The integration of these items had no material impact in 2024 on the Group's financial statements.

Details and additional information on financial and non-financial performance are provided in the Group's 2024 Universal Registration Document.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1. CONSOLIDATION

The Group's consolidated financial statements include all subsidiaries and associates of SPIE SA.

The scope of consolidation comprises 232 companies; the percentages of interest are presented in the table in Note 27 of the present document.

The main amendments to the scope of consolidation that took place during the year are presented in Note 6.

Consolidation methods

According to IFRS 10, "Consolidated Financial Statements", entities controlled directly or indirectly by the Group are consolidated under the full consolidation method. Control is established if the Group has all the following conditions:

  • substantive rights enabling it to direct the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns;
  • exposure to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
  • the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the variable returns.

For each company held directly or indirectly, it was assessed whether or not the Group controls the investee in light of all relevant facts and circumstances.

IFRS 11, "Joint Arrangements", sets out the accounting treatment to be applied when two or more parties have joint control of an investee. Joint control is established if decisions relating to relevant activities require the shareholders' unanimous agreement.

  • joint ventures: parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to its net assets, and are consolidated using the equity method; or
  • joint operations: parties that have joint control of the arrangement have direct rights to the assets and direct obligations for the liabilities of the arrangement, the joint operator recognizing its share of the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the joint operation.

Most of the joint arrangements relating to public works are through joint-venture companies (Société En Participation - SEP) that, given their characteristics, fall into the category of joint operations.

As required by IAS 28 (revised), entities over which SPIE exercises significant influence are consolidated using the equity method.

The results of enterprises acquired or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements, as from the date of acquisition in the first case or until the date of disposal in the second.

Translation of the financial statements of foreign entities

The Group's consolidated accounts are presented in euros.

In most cases, the accounting currency of foreign subsidiaries corresponds to the local currency. The subsidiaries' financial statements are translated at closing rates for statement of financial position items and at annual average rates for income statement items. Exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of accounts are recognized in equity as currency translation adjustments.

The currency translation rates used by the Group for its main currencies are as follows:

2024 2023
Closing
Rate
Average Rate Closing
Average Rate
Rate
Euro – EUR 1 1 1 1
US Dollar – USD 1.0491 1.0817 1.0787 1.0806
Swiss Franc – CHF 0.9319 0.9523 0.9452 0.9724
Zloty - PLN 4.2758 4.2985 4.3260 4.5587

3.2. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are reported consistently with the internal reporting provided to the Group's Management.

The Group's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer regularly examines segments' operating income to assess their performance and to make resources allocation decisions. He has therefore been identified as the chief operating decision maker of the Group.

The Group's activity is divided into five operating segments for analysis and decision-making purposes. The segments are characterized by a standardized economic model, especially in terms of products and offered services. operational organization, customer typology, key success factors and performance evaluation criteria.

The Operating Segments are the following:

  • France (including Nuclear Services)
  • Germany
  • North-Western Europe
  • Central Europe (Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia)
  • Global Services Energy (former Oil & Gas Services).

Quantitative information is presented in Note 7.

3.3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL

The Group applies the "acquisition method" to account for business combinations, as defined in IFRS 3R. The acquisition price, also called "consideration transferred", for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the sum of fair values of the assets transferred and the liabilities incurred by the acquirer at the acquisition date and the equity interests issued by the acquirer. The consideration paid includes contingent consideration, measured and recognized at fair value, at the acquisition date.

In addition:

  • Non-controlling interests in the acquired company may be valued either at the share in the acquired company's net identifiable assets or at fair value. This option is applied on a case-by-case basis for each acquisition.
  • Acquisition-related costs are recognized as expenses for the period. These expenses are recognized as "Other current operating income and expenses" of the income statement.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between:

  • (i) the acquisition price of the shares of the acquired company plus any contingent price adjustments; and
  • (ii) the Group's share of the fair value of their net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition of control, in the case of partial goodwill calculations, or the aggregate fair value of their net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition of control, in the case of full goodwill calculations.

The temporary fair value of assets and liabilities acquired may be adjusted within a maximum twelve-month period following the date of acquisition (the "evaluation period"), in order to reflect new information about facts and circumstances that existed at acquisition date, and that, if known, would have affected the measurement of amounts recorded at that date. This may result in adjustments to the goodwill determined on a provisional basis. Acquisition accounting adjustments are measured at fair value at acquisition date, with a counterpart through equity, at each closing date. After the end of the one-year allocation period, any further change in this fair value is recognized in income.

Post-acquisition

Further acquisitions or transfers of non-controlling interests, without any change in control, are considered as transactions with the Group's shareholders. According to this approach, the difference between the price paid to increase the percentage of interest in entities already controlled and the additional proportionate equity interest thus acquired is accounted for in the Group's equity.

Similarly, a reduction in the Group's percentage of interest in an entity that remains controlled by the Group is accounted for as an equity transaction with no impact on income.

For share transfers with a further loss of control, the change in fair value. calculated based on the entire interest at the transaction date, is recognized in gains or losses on disposal of consolidated investments. The remaining equity interest retained, where applicable, is then accounted for at fair value at the date of the loss of control.

For business combination achieved in stages, non-controlling interest previously held in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value at its acquisition-date. Any resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.

Treatment of outstanding representations and warranties

In the context of its business combinations, the Group usually obtains representations and warranties from the sellers. Regarding business combinations, the outstanding representations and warranties that can be valued individually result in the recognition of an indemnification asset in the accounts of the acquirer. Subsequent changes to these representations and warranties are recorded symmetrically with the liability recorded for the indemnified items. Representations and warranties that are not separately identifiable (general guarantees) are recognized when they become exercisable, through the income statement.

The outstanding representations and warranties are recorded in "Other non-current financial assets".

Impairment test of goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least once a year whenever there is an indication of impairment. For this test, goodwill is allocated to Cash Generating Units (CGU) or groups of CGUs corresponding to homogeneous groups which together generate identifiable cash flows. The conditions of the impairment tests conducted on the CGUs are detailed in Note 3.10.

3.4. RECOGNITION OF REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue relating to contracts defined as per IFRS 15

The Group recognizes services contract income and expenses using the percentage of completion method at the end of each monthly reporting period.

The stage of completion is measured with reference to the progress in terms of costs incurred. In the case of maintenance contracts, the progress is measured in terms of invoices performed. The measurement of the percentageof-completion method relies on the contracts follow-up and the consideration of hazards assessed based on acquired experience, in order to value the best estimate of future benefits and obligations expected for these contracts.

The recognition of revenues from contracts with customers stands when a performance obligation is satisfied and if it fulfills these three criteria:

  • Customers receive benefits as performed/ another would not need to re-perform
  • The performance creates/enhances an asset customer controls
  • The performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and right to payment for work to date.

No profit margin is recorded if the level of completion is insufficient to provide a reliable outcome at the end of the contract.

If the expected outcome at completion of the project is a loss, a provision for loss on completion is recorded irrespective of the stage of completion of the project. This provision is based on the best estimate of the outcome at completion of the project, measured in a reasonable manner. Provisions for losses on completion are presented as a liability in the statement of financial position.

Revenue relating to Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts

Following the IFRIC 12 standard recommendations, the annual revenue under PFI contracts is determined based on the fair value of the services rendered in the financial year measured by applying the estimated margin rates of construction. servicing and maintenance respectively to building costs (initial and renewal) and servicing and maintenance costs.

3.5. OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

To ensure better understanding of business performance, the Group presents separately "recurring operating income" within operating income which excludes items that have little predictive value because of their nature, their frequency and / or their relative importance. These items, recorded in "other operating income" and "other operating expenses" especially include:

  • Gains and losses on disposals of assets or operations;
  • Expenses resulting from restructuring plans or operations disposal plans approved by the Group management;
  • Expenses relating to non-recurring impairment of assets;
  • Any other separately identifiable income/expense, which is of an unusual and material nature.

3.6. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Non-current assets or disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. These assets (or disposal groups) must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable.

Upon initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets and disposal groups are carried at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

A discontinued operation is a component that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, and:

  • represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is part of a single, coordinated plan to separate from a distinct major line of business or geographical area of operations,
  • which is a subsidiary acquired exclusively for the purpose of sale.

Discontinued operations are presented on a specific line of the financial statements at the balance sheet date.

3.7. LEASE CONTRACTS

Under IFRS16 an arrangement is or contains a lease component if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To determine this right, the Group assess if throughout the period of use, the customer has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and to direct the use of the identified asset; and if the contract refers to an identified asset by being explicitly specified in a contract. If the supplier has the substantive right or the practical ability to substitute the asset throughout the period of use, then the asset is not identified.

The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;
  • any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee;
  • and an estimate of costs to be incurred, to dismantle and remove the underlying asset.

At inception of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. If the contract contains several lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price.

The right-of-use asset is amortized over its useful life for the Group on the straight-line basis, using the effective interest method and the debt is amortized over the finance lease period. These durations reflect the lease modifications in relation to revised lease payment and change of index or discount rate.

Lease payments are broken down between the financial expense and the amortization of debt to obtain a constant periodic interest rate over the remaining balance of the liability. The financial expenses are recognized directly in the income statement. Cash payments for the principal and the interest portion of the lease liability are shown within financing activities; cash payments for short-term lease payments, low-value assets and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are shown within operating activities.

3.8. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets (mainly brands, customer relationships and order books) acquired separately or in the context of business combinations are initially measured at their fair value in the statement of financial position. The value of intangible assets is subject to regular monitoring in order to ensure that no impairment should be accounted for.

Brands and customer related assets

The value of customer relationships is determined on the basis of a contract renewal rate and amortized on a straightline basis over the renewal period.

The amortization period of the backlog is defined on a case-by-case basis for each acquisition, after a detailed review.

Brands acquired are amortized over the estimated duration of use of the brand, depending on the Group's brand integration strategy. By exception, SPIE brand has an indefinite useful life and therefore is not amortized.

Details of these brands and their treatment are provided in Note 14.1.

Internally generated intangible assets

Research costs are recognized in the income statement as expenses for the period.

Development costs are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are fulfilled:

  • the Group's intention and financial and technical capacity to complete the development project;
  • the probability that the Group will enjoy future economic benefits attributable to development expenditure;
  • the reliable measure of the cost of this asset.

Capitalized expenditure includes personnel costs, and the cost of materials and services used that are directly allocated to the given projects. Capitalized expenditure is amortized over the estimated useful life of the relevant processes once they have been put into use.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets are recognized at cost, net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. They relate mainly to software and are amortized over a period of three years on a straight-line basis.

3.9. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is calculated for each significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment using either the straightline method or any other method that best represents the economic use of the components over their estimated useful life. The estimated residual values at the end of the depreciation period are zero.

The main average useful lives applied are as follows:

  • Buildings 20 to 30 years
  • Site machinery and equipment 4 to 15 years
  • Fixed machinery and equipment 8 to 15 years
  • Transport vehicles 4 to 10 years
  • Office equipment IT 3 to 10 years

Land is not depreciated.

The depreciation periods are reviewed annually and may be modified if the expectations are different from the previous estimations.

3.10. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL, PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The recoverable value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is tested whenever there is an indication of impairment; this is examined at each closing date.

With regard to goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life (a category which in the case of the Group is limited to the SPIE brand), this impairment test must be conducted as soon as there is any indication of impairment and at least annually.

Goodwill does not generate any cash inflows on its own and is therefore allocated to the corresponding Cash Generating Units (CGU) (see Note 13).

The recoverable value of these units is the higher of the value in use, determined on the basis of discounted future net cash flow projections, and the fair value less costs to sell, if this value is lower than the net carrying amount of these units.

An impairment loss is recorded for the difference, which is allocated in priority to goodwill.

Contrary to potential impairment losses on depreciable property, plant and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, those allocated to goodwill are definitive and cannot be reversed in subsequent financial years.

The Cash Generating Units' (CGU) future cash flows used in the calculation of value in use (Note 13.2. "Impairment test for goodwill") are derived from annual budget and multiannual forecasts prepared by the Group. The construction of these forecasts is an exercise involving the various players within the CGUs and the projections are validated by the Group's Chief-executive officer. This process requires the use of critical judgment and estimates, especially in the determination of market trends, material costs, pricing policies as well as planned investments and the impact of any extra-financial factors. Therefore, the actual future cash flows may differ from the estimates used in the calculation of value in use.

Quantitative information is provided in Note 13.

3.11. FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Group classifies its financial assets within the following categories: assets measured at their fair value against other comprehensive income, assets measured at fair value and through profit or loss, and assets measured at amortized cost.

The breakdown of financial assets into current and non-current assets is determined at the closing date based on their maturity date being under or over one year.

All regular way purchases/sales of financial assets are recorded at the transaction date.

Assets valued at fair value against other comprehensive income

These assets represent the Group's interests in the capital of non-consolidated entities. They are recorded in the statement of financial position at their fair value. In subsequent periods, changes in the fair value of the instrument are recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value thus accumulated in equity will not be reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent years. Only dividends are recognized in the income statement when the conditions are met.

Assets at fair value through income statement

These are financial assets held by the Group for the purpose of realizing a short-term gain at disposal. These assets are measured at fair value with changes in value recorded in the income statement.

Assets measured at amortized cost

These include receivables related to investments, "1% public housing" loans and other loans and receivables. These loans and receivables are initially recorded at their fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. On subsequent closing dates, they are accounted for at the amortized cost calculated using the effective interest rate. The value on the face of the statement of financial position includes the outstanding capital and the unamortized share of transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition. An expected credit loss is recognized on financial assets measured at amortized cost. Any impairment loss is recognized in the income statement.

The recoverable value of loans and receivables is equal to the value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial assets' original effective interest rate (in other words, at the effective interest rate calculated at the date of initial recognition).

Receivables with a short maturity date are not discounted.

Receivables relating to Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts

The Group, as a private operator, has signed Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts. This type of contract is one of a number of public-private contract schemes being used in France.

The "PFI" Contracts are accounted for in accordance with IFRIC 12 "Concessions", when they meet the three following conditions:

  • First, the public authority determines the nature of the services that the private operator is required to provide. by means of the infrastructure as well as who is likely to benefit from these services;
  • Second, the contract stipulates that at the end of the contract. the infrastructure retains a significant residual value which is returned back to the public authority;
  • Finally, the contract provides for the construction of the infrastructure to be made by the private operator.

In exchange for the construction services provided, the Group is granted rights to receive a financial asset and therefore a receivable is recognized.

Receivables are measured for each signed contract, using the amortized cost method at an effective interest rate corresponding to the project's internal rate of return.

In subsequent periods, the financial asset is amortized, and interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate.

Securitization and receivables sale program

In the course of its operations, some entities of the Group have developed a securitization program for its trade receivables expiring on 11 June 2023 and extended for a further 4 years to expire on 11 June 2027 (unless early termination or amicable termination occurs).

The program has been indexed to sustainable development criteria, with an ESG adjustment premium in the form of a discount or a maximum premium of 5 basis points, to be applied each year from December 31, 2024, depending on the achievement of annual ESG performance targets, as defined in the contract.

Under this securitization program, participating companies can transfer full ownership of their trade receivables to the "SPIE Titrisation" Mutual Fund in order to obtain funding amounting to a maximum of € 300 million.

The financed amount of the transaction is defined as being equal to the number of assigned receivables eligible for the securitization program, less, as collateral, the amount of the subordinated deposit and the amount of the additional senior deposit retained by the "SPIE Titrisation" securitization fund.

The Group keeps the risks associated with these receivables. Consequently, the financed amount of the transaction is defined as equal to the number of transferred receivables eligible for the securitization program less, by way of security, the subordinate deposit amount and the additional senior deposit amount applied by the "SPIE Titrisation" Mutual Fund.

In the consolidated accounts, the securitized receivables have been kept as assets in the statement of financial position, the security deposits paid into the funds have been cancelled and in return the value of financing obtained has been recorded in borrowings.

Moreover, SPIE GSA renewed in December 2013 a securitization program of discount on notes receivable that existed prior to the acquisition of the Hochtief Services Solutions business, by which virtually all of the risks and rewards attached to the assigned receivables (credit risks and late payment risks, as the risk of dilution, properly circumscribed, was excluded from the analysis) were transferred to the factor. This program was extended to all German entities acquired together with the SAG group in March 2017. The assigned receivables amount is € 75,121 thousand as of December 31, 2024 (88,941 thousand euros in 2023) and are no longer recognized as assets in the consolidated financial statements.

"Public housing Loans"

In France, employers standing in an industrial or commercial activity and hiring at least 20 employees must invest in housing construction for their employees at least 0.45% of the total payroll. This investment can be realized either directly or by a contribution to the "Comité Interprofessionnel du Logement" (Inter-Professional Housing Committee) or to a Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The contribution can be booked as granted loan in the assets of the statement of financial position, or as a grant recognized as an expense in the income statement.

"Public housing loans" do not bear interest and are granted for a period of 20 years.

"Public housing loans" are loans granted to employees at low interest rate. In accordance with IFRS 9, these loans are discounted at their initial recognition date and the difference between the nominal value of the loan and its discounted value is recorded as an expense which is granted representing an economic benefit granted to employees.

Subsequently, the loans are accounted for using the amortized cost method which consists in reconstituting the redemption value of the loan, at the end of the 20-year period, by recognizing interest income over the period.

3.12. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

The breakdown of financial liabilities into current and non-current liabilities is determined at the closing date by their maturity date. Thus, financial liabilities maturing less than one year are recognized in current liabilities.

Financial liabilities consist of accounts payable, medium and long-term loans and derivative financial instruments.

At the date of their initial recognition, medium and long-term loans are measured at their fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The amortized cost is calculated taking into account all the issuing costs and any discount or redemption premiums directly linked to the financial liability. The difference between the amortized cost and the redemption value is reversed through the income statement using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loans.

When accounts payable have maturity dates of less than one year, their nominal value may be considered to be close to their amortized cost.

3.13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts) to hedge its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange risks.

Derivative instruments are recorded in the statement of financial position as current or non-current financial assets and liabilities depending on their maturity dates and accounting designation. They are measured initially at their fair value on the transaction date and re-measured accordingly at each reporting date.

In the case of cash flow hedging, the hedging instrument is recorded in the statement of financial position at its fair value. The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument is immediately recognized

in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion of the gain or loss is immediately recognized in the income statement. The amounts recorded in equity are reversed in the income statement in accordance with the accounting policy applied to hedged items. If the Group no longer expects the hedged transaction to occur, the accumulated unrealized gain or loss, which was recorded in equity (for the effective portion), is immediately recognized in the income statement.

In the case of fair value hedging, the hedging instrument is recorded in the statement of financial position at its fair value. Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded in the income statement alongside the changes in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the identified risk.

Convertible Bonds « ORNANE » (Bonds settled in cash and/or convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares)

The SPIE Group has opted for the split accounting method.

In accordance with IFRS9 - Financial Instruments, the SPIE Group has therefore:

  • isolated the debt and recognized it at amortized cost, in accordance with the standard's general rule on financial liabilities and;
  • recognized a derivative instrument. As this derivative does not comply with the "fixed-for-fixed" rule, it is recognized at fair value with a counterpart in the profit and loss.

At each closing, the change in fair value of the derivative instrument will be booked in the profit and loss and a deferred tax will be recognized accordingly. The calculation of fair value depends essentially on the share price at the closing date.

The amortized cost of the derivative instrument and the change in its fair value are restated in net income to calculate the Group's adjusted net income. which is usually used by the Group to determine the amount of dividends proposed for distribution at the Annual General Meeting.

See details of the convertible bonds "ORNANE" in Note 20.4.

3.14. INVENTORIES

Inventories, which are essentially made-up on-site supplies, are measured at the lower of the cost or net realizable value according to the "first in - first out" method.

The inventories are impaired, where applicable, in order to reflect their probable net realizable value.

3.15. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

In the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents includes liquid assets in current bank accounts, shares in money market funds and negotiable debt securities which can be mobilized or transferred in the very short term with a known cash value and do not have a significant risk in terms of changes in value. All components are measured at their fair value.

In the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents of the operations held for sale are added to and bank overdrafts are deducted from cash and cash equivalents presented in the statement of financial position.

3.16. INCOME TAXES

The Group calculates income taxes in accordance with prevailing tax legislation in the countries where income is taxable.

Current taxes

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.

Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are recorded on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax bases as well as on tax losses according to the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that they will be recovered. In particular, deferred tax assets are recognized on tax loss carry-forwards of the Group, to the extent that it is probable that they can be utilized against future tax profits in the foreseeable future. Deferred taxes are not discounted.

Management's judgment is required to determine the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized. Future sources of taxable income and the effects of the Group's global income tax strategies are taken into account in making this determination. This assessment is conducted through a detailed review of deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and takes into account past, current and future operating performance deriving from the existing contracts in the order book. the budget and multiannual forecasts. and the length of carry back, carry forwards and expiration dates of net operating loss carry forwards over a five-year horizon.

The expected reversal of tax losses is based on the forecast of future results previsions validated by local management and reviewed by the Group's Accounting and Tax Departments.

Distributable earnings

The timeline for receiving undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries is controlled by the Group and the Group does not foresee taxes on the distribution of earnings in the near future.

With regard to French subsidiaries included in the Group tax consolidation group (i.e. the majority of them), the distribution of earnings is subject to a basic tax rate of 1% (subsidiaries over 95% owned).

No deferred tax liability is to be recognized for undistributed earnings from French and foreign subsidiaries.

3.17. PROVISIONS

The Group identifies and analyses on a regular basis legal claims, faults and warranties, onerous contracts and other commitments. A provision is recorded when, at the closing date, the Group has an obligation towards a third party arising from a past event, the settlement of which is likely to require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits. Provisions are recognized on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates take into account information available and different possible outcomes.

In the case of restructuring, an obligation is recorded once the restructuring process has been announced and a detailed plan prepared or once the entity has started to implement the plan, prior to the reporting date.

Long-term provisions are discounted to present value.

Provisions

Depending on the nature of the risk, estimates of the probable expenditure are made with operational staff in charge of the contracts, internal and external lawyers and independent experts whenever necessary.

Quantitative information is set out in Note 18.2.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are potential obligations stemming from past events which existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence of uncertain future events which are not within the control of the entity, or current obligations for which an outflow of resources is unlikely. Apart from those resulting from a business combination, they are not recorded in the accounts but are disclosed, when appropriate, in the notes to the financial statements.

3.18. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Employee benefits include defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

Defined contribution plans refer to post-employment benefits under which the Group pays defined contributions to various employee funds. Contributions are paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees during the financial year. They are expensed as incurred and the Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional contributions in the event of insufficient assets.

Defined benefit plans refer to post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. These plans constitute a future obligation for the Group for which a commitment is calculated. A provision is calculated by estimating the value of benefits accumulated by employees in exchange for services rendered during the financial year and in previous financial years.

Within the Group, post-employment benefits and other long-term benefits mainly correspond to defined benefit plans.

Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits mainly correspond to internally held pension plans in force in Germany and retirement indemnities applicable in France. Other long-term benefits mainly relate to length-of-service awards.

The Group's plans are defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans which generally require, in addition to the part financed by the Company, a contribution from each employee defined as a percentage of his or her compensation.

These plans are characterized as follows:

  • In Germany and Switzerland, employee benefits correspond to internally held pension plans settled in the companies.
  • In France, employee benefits correspond to retirement indemnities established in accordance with collective bargaining agreements (estimated based on a percentage of the last salary, according to the seniority and to the applicable collective agreements).

The valuation of these benefits is carried out annually by independent actuaries. The actuarial method used is the Projected Unit Credit Method.

Assumptions mainly include the discount rate; the long-term salary increase rate and the expected rate of the retirement age. Statistical information is mainly related to demographic assumptions such as fatality, employee turnover and disability. These actuarial assumptions (economic and demographic) have been determined locally according to each country concerned.

The Group applies the dispositions of IAS 19 amended "Employee Benefits", and the application of this standard is in line with the IFRIC decision of May 2021 which requires the liability to be spread only over the last years of the employee's career in the company which gives them the rights at the time of departure instead of being spread over the entire employee's career.

The value recorded in the statement of financial position for employee benefits and other long-term benefits corresponds to the difference between the discounted value of future obligations and the fair value of plan assets intended to cover them. The obligation corresponding to the net commitment thus established is recorded as a liability.

The net financial cost of retirement indemnities, including the financial cost and the expected return on plan assets, determined using the same discount rate as of the defined benefit obligation, at the beginning of the period is recognized

under "Net financial expenses". The operating expense is recorded in personnel expenses and includes the cost of services provided during the year as well as the impacts of any plan changes, reductions or liquidations.

The remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability or asset, due to change in assumptions comprise actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and some changes in the effect of the asset ceiling. These impacts are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Quantitative information is detailed in Note 18.1.

Other long-term benefits

Other long-term benefits essentially include length-of-service bonuses in the form of "length-of-service awards". The Group recognizes a liability in respect of awards acquired by employees. This provision is calculated according to methods. assumptions and frequency that are identical to those used for provisions for retirement indemnities described above.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from the valuation of length-of-service awards are recognized immediately in the income statement of the financial year of their occurrence.

Optional profit-sharing agreement

Sub-group optional profit-sharing agreements were signed in 2013 within French entities and define the calculation formula and terms for the profit sharing among beneficiaries. Liability is accrued for personal expenses in respect of the amount of profit to be shared at year-end. payable the year after.

Legal profit-sharing agreement

SPIE Operations and all subsidiaries whose registered office is in France. directly or indirectly owned by more than 50% and irrespective of the number of employees, have entered into a Group legal profit-sharing agreement dated June 6, 2005, in accordance with Articles L442-1 and seq. of the French Employment Code (Code du travail).

Performance Shares

Three Performance Shares plans are still active as of December 31, 2024.

The Shareholders' General Meeting of SPIE on May 12, 2021, in its 16th resolution, on May 11, 2022, in its 28th resolution and on May 10, 2023, in its 16th resolution, authorized, under certain conditions, the grant of existing or future shares, in favor of corporate officers or employees of the Company or of companies related to the Company in the conditions set forth under article L. 225-197-2 of the French Commercial Code.

The list of the beneficiaries of these plans, as well as the number of performance shares granted to each of them, were decided by the board of directors, upon proposal of the Compensation Committee, at its meeting of 10 March 2022 for the plan 2022-2024, at its meeting of 9 March 2023 for the plan 2023-2025 and at its meeting of 6 March 2024 for the plan 2024-2026.

The plan 2022-2024 was issued on June 17, 2022. The plan 2023-2025 was issued on June 30, 2023. The plan 2024-2026 was issued on July 31, 2024.

The valuation and accounting principles applicable are defined in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share-based payments". Performance shares represent employees' benefits granted to their beneficiaries and, as such, constitute additional remuneration paid by SPIE (see Note 8.2).

As a non-cash transaction, benefits granted are recognized as an expense over the vesting period in return for an increase in equity (see Note 17.3). They are valued by an external actuary based on the fair value of the performance shares, at the grant date.

The performance shares' fair value is not only linked to the performance of the operating segments. Consequently, SPIE considered not necessary to include the corresponding charge in EBITA, which is the measure of the performance of the operating segments, as issued into internal reporting. This charge is read on a separate line of the reconciliation statement between EBITA and consolidated operating income (see Note 7).

For the plans 2022-2024, 2023-2025 and 2024-2026, the global final allocation rate of performance shares granted to each beneficiary is determined depending on:

  • an internal allocation rate, itself depending on the level of the annual average growth rate of the EBITA and the annual average cash conversion rate, for the duration period of three (3) years for each plan (the "Reference Period"), the reduction of CO2 emissions, the gender diversity and
  • an external allocation rate relating to a performance target (Total Shareholder Return or "TSR") of the SPIE SA shares over the Reference Period compared to the median TSR of a panel of companies (the "Panel"), it being specified that the internal allocation rate accounts for 75% of the global allocation rate and the external allocation rate accounts for 25% of the global allocation rate.

3.19. PUT OR CALL OPTION ON MINORITY INTERESTS

The SPIE Group has concluded put and/or call options with third parties that hold non-controlling interests (minority interests) in certain consolidated companies.

The conditions for exercising these options and the calculation methods differ from one acquisition to another, but the accounting rules, the IFRS standards applied, and the accounting options decided by the Group remain the same.

Put options on minority interests

In accordance with IAS 32, on initial recognition of a put option, a debt is booked against shareholders' equity - Group share (consolidation reserves). SPIE applies the AMF recommendations issued in November 2009. Changes in the fair value of debt are recognized in equity (consolidation reserves) until the debt is extinguished.

Typically, the exercise prices of these commitments reflect the fair value of the underlying assets. The contractual valuation of share call and put options may be based on multiples of company profitability criteria. In this case, their valuation is calculated on the basis of available information, according to the latest results available if the option is exercisable at any time, or according to the results of future years, based on the acquired company's business plan, if the option is exercisable from a certain date.

Finally, for each acquisition with call option mechanisms, particular attention is given to potential compensation components in order to recognize them as such, and to record the related compensation expense in the income statement.

Call options on minority interests held by the Group

As the exercise price of the call option represents the fair value of the shares, SPIE Group recognizes these off-balance sheet commitments as such in the notes to the financial statements.

See details of commitments to purchase minority interests in Notes 17.4 and 24.2.

NOTE 5. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

5.1. SPIE's ACTIVITIES

SPIE's very good results confirm its excellent position as a key player in the energy transition (in growing markets), even reinforced in the current situation of rising energy prices.

Thanks to the mission critical aspect of the Group's activities for its clients, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 health crisis, and the relevance of its positioning on the activities related to Energy Transition, SPIE continues to operate on very dynamic markets.

In 2024, the Group's turnover and margin exceeded 2023 levels, and organic growth was positive in all our reporting segments.

Our backlog at the end of 2024 is closing at an all-time high.

SPIE benefits from a sound balance sheet and a solid financial structure providing the Group with a very significant room for manoeuvre to continue to grow on the one hand and demonstrate the resilience of its model in case of major external crisis on the other hand.

Finally, the Group's very good operational performance in 2024 reflects its ability to protect and even further increase margins on a continuous basis, thanks to its positioning, discipline and ongoing focus on operational excellence.

5.2. EMPLOYEE SHAREHOLDERS PLAN "SHARE FOR YOU 2024" – INCREASE ON SHARE CAPITAL ON DECEMBER 12, 2024

On July 25th, 2024, the Board of Directors decided on the principle to proceed with a share capital increase through an employee shareholders plan named "Share For You 2024".

This subscription was reserved for eligible current and former employees and corporate officers of the Company and its French and foreign, direct and indirect, subsidiaries, who are members of a "plan d'épargne d'entreprise" of the SPIE Group (French company savings plan).

The "Share For You 2024" plan, the eighth since the SPIE group was listed on the stock exchange in 2015, generated strong employee support: close to 21,000 employees, from 19 different countries, subscribed to the offer including more than 5,000 subscribers as new employee shareholders.

Under this new iteration of "Share For You", the subscription price of one SPIE share was €28.39 after a Group employees' discount rate of 20% applied to the reference price set at €35.48.

Furthermore, a matching contribution with a maximum of 20 shares has been granted by SPIE SA to subscribers. For any share subscription, subscribers have received a complementary share for each one subscribed (up to 20 maximum).

The subscription reached an amount of 45 million euros (after discount).

Upon completion of this operation, SPIE issued 1,992,976 new shares on December 12, 2024 (see Note 17.2).

5.3. EXTERNAL GROWTH

In fiscal 2024, SPIE finalized nine acquisitions, including four in Germany, three in France, one in the Netherlands and one in the United Kingdom in the offshore wind energy sector, representing total annual revenue of around € 802 million (see Note 6.1).

5.4. EXTENSIONS AND INCREASES REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY LINE

The Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) undrawn at December 31, 2023, with a capacity of €600 million maturing on October 17, 2027, aiming mainly to maintain a high level of liquidity and to finance the Group's external growth, has been amended as follows: i) the amount has been increased to reach €1,000 million maturing on October 17, 2027, and, then ii) €940 million maturing on October 17, 2029.

During the 2024 financial year, up to 400 million euros were drawn down on the line and fully repaid by December 31, 2024.

5.5. NEW REPORTING SEGMENTS

In order to reflect the development of the Group in certain geographies (notably in Germany and in Central Europe) and the development of Global Services Energy in renewable energy, the Group's reporting segments are now defined as follows from January 1, 2024:

  • France (including Nuclear Services)
  • Germany
  • North-Western Europe
  • Central Europe (Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia)
  • Global Services Energy (former Oil & Gas Services).

See Note 7 « segment information ».

The strong growth of our business in Central Europe in recent years has led to the appointment of a new Managing Director member of the Executive Committee, reporting directly to the Chairman and CEO.

5.6. MILITARY CONFLICT IN UKRAINE

The SPIE Group has no activity in either Ukraine or Russia.

SPIE is therefore not directly or indirectly exposed to the consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine, which is still ongoing at December 31, 2024.

International tax reform - Model Pillar 2 rules

The SPIE Group falls within the scope of the EU directive 2022/2253 on international tax reform developed by the OECD, known as "Pillar 2".

This pillar aims to ensure a worldwide minimum tax level of 15% for multinational companies and groups and will be applicable in France from fiscal year 2024.

The Group has launched a project to identify the impacts and organize the processes needed to comply with its obligations.

Given the current state of regulations in the countries in which the Group operates, and subject to future regulatory clarifications, the simulation work performed by the Group does not indicate any significant impact on the tax charge.

On the basis of these calculations, implementation of this directive on December 31, 2024 would lead to an additional tax charge of €186 thousand for the Group.

In the context of this directive, the IASB has published an amendment to IAS 12 "Income Taxes" - International Tax Reform - Pillar 2 rules. This amendment provides for a temporary exemption from the recognition of deferred taxes resulting from the implementation of this directive. The Group has applied this exemption.

13.2. IMPAIRMENT TEST FOR GOODWILL

To carry out annual impairment tests, goodwill was allocated to the relevant Cash Generating Units (CGU); see Note 3.10 "Impairment of goodwill".

These tests are carried out in October of each year on the basis of the most recent budgets available.

In 2024, these forecasts were based on the most recent budgets available and a Business Plan taking into account cash flows over years 2025 and 2026 included, and projections for the years 2027 to 2029 included, which correspond to extrapolations of the forecasts, to which is added a terminal value calculated with a perpetual growth rate of 2.0% (compared with 2.0% in 2023 and 2.0% in 2022).

All CGUs estimate their future cash flows in euros.

The discount rate after tax for all CGUs amounts to 8.7 % (vs 8.5% in 2023 and 8.5% in 2022) for all CGUs of the Group.

Sensitivity Test

The value in use is mainly driven by the terminal value which is sensitive to changes in the assumptions regarding discount rates and the cash flows generated.

The sensitivity to indicators used are the following: a decrease by 0.2% of the long-term growth rate, a decrease by 0.5% of the margin level expected for the terminal year, and an increase by 0.5% of the discount rate (WACC).

The sensitivity tests carried out did not reveal any impairment. The value of each CGU tested for impairment is higher than its net book value.

The Group also calculated a sensitivity test based on the hypothesis of a zero perpetual growth rate. An impairment loss would be recognized with a WACC of 9.5%.

Likewise, maintaining the hypothesis of a perpetual growth rate of 2.0%, an impairment loss would be recognized with a WACC of 11.3%

Brands mainly correspond to the value of the SPIE brand (for € 731 million), which has an indefinite useful life and and the SAG brand acquired in March 2017 (for € 134.6 million), amortized over 9 years. The residual balance of €55.3 million comprises the various brands of companies acquired, amortized on average over 3 years.

The SPIE brand is allocated to each of the cash generating units and is valued on the basis of an implied average royalty rate, as a percentage of each CGU's contribution to Group revenues.

The line "Business combination effect", which concerns the brands, and backlog and customer relationships, corresponded in 2024 to the impacts of the purchase price allocation processes for the company acquired in 2023 and 2024, and in particular to Robur, ICG, Otto, Correll, MBG, Horus, BridgingIT and AnyLinQ for the following amounts:

  • In brand:
    • o € (4,149) thousand for BridgingIT;
  • In backlog:

  • o € 15,616 thousand for Otto;

  • o € 11,433 thousand for ICG;
  • o € 6,024 thousand for Robur;
  • o € 1,199 thousand for Correll;
  • o € 518 thousand for Horus;
  • In relationship asset:
    • o € 102,752 thousand for Robur;
    • o € 70,394 thousand for Otto;
    • o € 56,805 thousand for ICG;
    • o € 30,310 thousand for Correll;
    • o € 26,992 thousand for MBG;
    • o € 23,494 thousand for Horus;
    • o € (16,751) thousand for BridgingIT;
    • o € 3,044 thousand for AnyLinQ.

The "Other acquisitions in the period", representing € 11,231 thousand, corresponded to:

  • On the one hand to intangible assets under development: implementation of an ERP in France.
  • And on the other hand to other commissioned intangible assets: ERP implementation projects in France, Germany and Netherlands.

NOTE 17. EQUITY

17.1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at December 31, 2024 the share capital of SPIE SA stands at 79,383,263.20 euros divided into 168,900,560 ordinary shares, all of the same class, with a nominal value of € 0.47.

The allocation of SPIE SA capital's ownership is as follows:

Holding percentage(3)
Employee shareholding (1) 7.8%
Mr. Gauthier Louette & Managers (2) 1.8%
Peugeot Invest 5.0%
Public 85.4%
Auto-détention 0.0%
Total 100.0%

(1) Stake held by the Group employees, directly or through the FCPE SPIE Actionnariat (as at December 31, 2024).

(2) Current and former Group executives (at December 31, 2024).

(3) Based on the information disclosed on December 31, 2024.

17.2. EMPLOYEE SHAREHOLDERS PLAN "SHARE FOR YOU 2024"

On July 25, 2024, the Board of Directors, upon delegation of the Mixed Shareholders' General Meeting held on May 3, 2024, decided on the principle to proceed with a share capital increase reserved for eligible current and former employees and corporate officers of the Company and its French and foreign, direct and indirect, subsidiaries, who are members of a "plan d'épargne d'entreprise" of the SPIE Group (French company savings plan), within the limit for a maximum nominal amount of € 2,000 thousand.

The Board of Directors has also decided that matching contribution shares will be issued by SPIE SA. The amount of the matching contribution is one share for each share subscribed, up to a maximum of 20 shares.

The Board of Directors delegated authority to the CEO for the completion of this transaction. Acting under this delegation, the CEO set forth the definitive terms of the offer in a decision dated September 17, 2024 and set in particular (i) the dates of the subscription period opened from September 26 to October 17, 2024 (included) and (ii) the subscription price of one SPIE share at € 28.39 after a Group employees' discount rate of 20% applied to the reference price set at € 35.48. The 20% discount on the SPIE share price was calculated on the basis of the average opening price of SPIE shares on the Euronext Paris stock exchange over twenty trading days between August 20 and September 16, 2024 inclusive.

In a decision dated December 12, 2024, the CEO recognized definitive completion of the capital increase through the issuance of a total amount of 1,992,976 new ordinary shares at unit price of € 28.39, hence an increase of the SPIE SA total nominal share capital of € 936,698.72, and the booking of an issuance premium in local books of € 42,797,707.11 on which it has been decided to deduct the necessary amounts to be allocated to (i) the statutory reserve for an amount of € 93,669.87, and (ii) to charge the expense of the share capital increase.

The charge, relating to the granted matching contribution shares, is recognized in full in the operating income of the 2024 consolidated income statement of SPIE SA for an amount of € 12,004 thousand.

The discount rate on the subscription date of the shares constitutes an immediate charge also recognized in full in the consolidated income statement of the issuing company. This discount has been calculated considering the abrogation in 2022 of the method recommended by the CNC in 2004 for the valuation of the illiquidity discount. As such, a IFRS 2 loss of € 14,145 thousand has been recognized in operating income in 2024 relating to the 20% discount.

Launched in 19 countries, the subscription reached an amount of € 45 million (after discount). Close to 21,000 employees subscribed for shares as part of "SHARE FOR YOU 2024", including more than 5,000 subscribers as new employee shareholders.

17.3. PERFORMANCE SHARES

The three current Performance Shares Plans for periods, 2022-2024, 2023-2025 and 2024-2026 grants, under certain conditions, performance shares in favor of corporate officers or employees of the Group (see Note 3.18 and Note 8.2).

The closing of the 2021-2023 plan resulted in the issuance of 439,472 new shares, in March 2024.

As a non-cash transaction, benefits granted are recognized as an expense over the vesting period in return for an increase in equity for an amount of € 11,218 thousand relating to the year 2024.

17.4. COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE MINORITY INTERESTS (PUT OPTIONS)

At December 31, 2024, the SPIE Group recognized € 189,534 thousand in purchase commitments to minority shareholders (See Note 3.19).

NOTE 18. PROVISIONS

18.1. PROVISIONS FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

(a) On June 18, 2019, the SPIE Group issued a €600 million 7-year bond with a coupon of 2.625%. The bond is listed on the Euronext Paris regulated market. This issue refinanced half of the Group's Facility A senior credit facility, concluded in 2018, and extended the average maturity of its debt.

(b) On January 10, 2023, the SPIE Group issued (with a settlement date of January 17, 2023), maturing on January 17, 2028, €400 million of bonds convertible into new and/or existing shares and/or cash ("ORNANE"), indexed to sustainable development criteria.

The convertible bonds are issued in a nominal value of €100,000 and bear interest at an annual rate of 2%. The conversion/exchange price is 32.97 euros, corresponding to a conversion/exchange premium of 37.50% over the reference share price (reference price of €23.977).

(c) On October 17, 2022, the SPIE Group initially concluded the refinancing of the credit agreement maturing on June 7, 2023, indexed to sustainable financing criteria, for an amount of €1,200 million, through two credit lines:

  • a term loan of 600 million euros, maturing on October 17, 2027,
  • a Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), with a capacity of €600 million, maturing on October 17, 2027, with the possibility of renewal by one year plus one year, until 2029.

On June 24, 2024, the Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) was increased by a further €400 million to €1 billion at maturity on October 17, 2027, and extended to €940 million at maturity on October 17, 2029.

The RCF line was used in 2024 up to a maximum amount of €400 million to finance the Group's current operations and external growth.

At December 31, 2024, the RCF line was undrawn.

In thousands of euros Repayment Fixed / floating rate December 31, 2024

Loans and borrowings from banking Institutions 600,000

These two loans, Facility A and Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), contracted under the "New Senior Credit Agreement indexed to sustainable development criteria" dated October 17, 2022 and amended on June 24, 2024, bear interest at a variable rate indexed to Euribor in the case of advances denominated in euros, on Libor in the case of advances denominated in currencies other than the euro, with a 20 basis point premium for a USD drawdown, and on any appropriate reference rate in the case of advances denominated in other currencies, plus in each case the applicable margin and an ESG adjustment margin. The applicable margins are as follows:

  • for the senior term loan agreement: between 2.00% and 1.20% p.a., depending on the Group's leverage ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) over the last financial year (see table below);
  • for the revolving credit facility: between 1.60% and 0.80% p.a., depending on the Group's leverage ratio (Net Debt/EBITDA) over the last financial year (see table below);
  • an adjustment premium, linked to sustainable development indicators and providing for a maximum discount or premium of 5 basis points, to be applied each year, from December 31, 2023, depending on the achievement of annual ESG performance targets, as defined in the contract.

At December 31, 2024, a quarterly commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.35% applies to the unused portion of the RCF line.

A quarterly utilization fee also applies to the utilized portion of the RCF line under the following conditions:

  • Utilization between 0% and 33% = 0.10% + margin
  • Utilization between 33% and 66% = 0.20% + margin
  • Utilization over 66% = 0.40% + margin

An adjustment premium, linked to sustainable development indicators (see details below) and providing for a maximum discount or premium of 5 basis points, applies each year, from December 31, 2023, depending on the achievement of annual ESG performance targets, as defined in the contract:

  • If one of the key performance indicator target scores is not achieved and the other three key performance indicator target scores are achieved for the relevant financial year, the margin applicable to Facility A and the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced by 0.025% at any time during the relevant margin adjustment period;
  • If two of the KPI target scores are not achieved and the other two KPI target scores are achieved for the relevant financial year, no margin adjustment applicable to Facility A and Revolving Credit Facility will apply during the relevant margin adjustment period, or;
  • If three of the KPI target scores are not achieved and one KPI target score is achieved for the relevant financial year, the margin applicable to Facility A and Revolving Credit Facility will be increased by 0.025% at any time during the relevant margin adjustment period.

(d) On October 31, 2024, SPIE SA became eligible for a program to issue short-term negotiable debt securities (NeuCP) for a maximum amount of 400 million euros, enabling short-term financing of its operating requirements. There were no first NeuCP issues in 2024.

(e) The receivables securitization program set up in 2007 has the following characteristics:

  • A maturity date of June 11, 2027 (except in the event of early or amicable termination);
  • Indexation to sustainable development criteria, with an ESG adjustment premium in the form of a discount or a maximum premium of 5 basis points, to be applied each year, from December 31, 2023, depending on the achievement of annual ESG performance targets, as defined in the contract;
  • A maximum financing amount of €300 million.

The Securitization program represented funding of € 300 million as at December 31, 2024.

(f) Financial liabilities are stated at their contractual amounts. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of financial instruments are deducted in full from the nominal amount of the debts concerned. The balance at December 31, 2024 amounts to €10.8 million and concerns the two credit lines and the bond issue.

(g) Finance lease liabilities relating to pre-existing contracts at January 1, 2019 are maintained in the determination of the published net debt at December 31, 2024, shown in paragraph 20.5.

(h) "Other loans, borrowings and financial liabilities" mainly comprise earnouts valued at the fair value of acquisitions made by the Group. They amounted to €15,265 thousand at December 31, 2024.

20.4. CONVERTIBLE BONDS "ORNANE"

Overview

On January 10, 2023, with a settlement date of January 17, 2023 and a maturity date of January 17, 2028, the SPIE Group issued sustainability-linked Bonds settled in cash and/or convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares (« ORNANE »), for an amount of € 400 million, indexed to sustainable development criteria.

The convertible bonds are issued for a nominal value of € 100,000 and bear interest at an annual rate of 2.00%. The conversion/exchange price is € 32.97, corresponding to a conversion/exchange premium of 37.50% on the reference share price (€ 23.977).

Potential dilution in the event of issue of new shares

The choice between redemption in cash or in shares in the event of a request for conversion by the holders of the shares, remains a decision for the SPIE Group. However, in the event of the exercise by all bondholders of their conversion right and if the Group decides to proceed, (i) an amount in cash equal to the principal amount of the bonds and (ii) in shares of the difference between the conversion / exchange value and the principal amount of the bonds, the potential dilution impact, is summarized in the table below:

Hypothesis 1 2 3
Underlying share price 32.97 € 37.91 € 42.86 €
Percentage of the initial conversion/exchange price of the bond 100% 115% 130%
Dilution (on a fully diluted basis*) as in % of share capital * 0% 0.93% 1.64%
* Corresponding to 170,392,068 diluted SPIE shares at December 31, 2024.

In line with SPIE's sustainability-linked financing framework dated November 2022, the bonds are indexed to key ESG performance indicators.

If a defined sustainable performance target is not met by the end of 2025, SPIE will pay a premium of 0.25% of the principal amount of each bond; 0.375% premium for two targets not met; and 0.50% premium for three targets not met.

For the accounting treatment of this convertible bond "ORNANE" issued in 2023, the SPIE Group has opted for split accounting method, separating a debt component from a derivative instrument component.

Impact on consolidated financial statements

On the consolidated income statement

Several impacts are visible in the income statement:

(i) the bond interest ("coupon") for € (8.0) million (including € (4.4) million of interest expenses and € (3.6) million of accrued interests) and the amortized cost of financing the convertible bond (€ (0.8) million) are included in "Interests charges and losses from cash equivalents" along with other borrowings.

(ii) the change in the fair value (€ 14.5 million) and amortization cost of the derivative convertible bond instrument (€ (9.1) million) on a dedicated line under "Change in fair value and amortization cost of the convertible bond derivative component". These items result from the application of IFRS and have no cash impact.

At December 31, 2024, the non-cash impact of the change in the derivative amounted to € (14.5) million and was recognized in item "change in fair value and amortization cost of the convertible bond derivative component" of the income statement.

Restatement of adjusted net income

At December 31, 2024, the amount of the restatement in the Group's adjusted net income of the impact of the convertible bond amounts to € (23.6) million and breaks down as follows: (i) the amortized cost of the derivative component amounting to € (9.1) million and the impact of the restatement of (ii) the change in fair value of the derivative component recognized in the income statement amounting to € (14.5) million.

The amortized cost of the derivative component and the change in fair value of the derivative component are restated against net income to calculate the Group's adjusted net income. As a reminder, this indicator is usually used by the Group to determine the amount of dividends proposed for distribution at the Annual General Meeting.

NOTE 21. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

21.1. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group is exposed to interest rate, foreign exchange and counterparty risks only in the course of certain of its activities. In the context of its risk management policy, the Group may use derivative financial instruments to hedge risks arising from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and in particular interest rate swaps to hedge its variable rate debts.

(54,512)
Total net derivative instruments (61,798)

Financial instruments include forward purchases and sales to hedge transactions in US dollars and Swiss francs, interest-rate swaps to hedge 50% of "Facility A" exposure, and the "ORNANE" derivative instrument.

These derivative instruments are accounted for at their fair value. As they are not quoted on an active market, their valuation is classified as level 2 according to IFRS 13 and is based on a generic model and data observed on active markets for similar transactions.

21.2. INTEREST RATE RISK

As part of the application of IFRS 13 concerning the recognition of credit risk in the valuation of financial assets and liabilities, the estimate made for derivative instruments is calculated based on default probabilities derived from secondary market data (notably bond credit spreads), to which a recovery rate is applied.

In October 2022, two interest hedging instruments have been put in set up, through two five-year swaps paying fixed rate against Euribor 1 month for a global amount of € 300 million, allowing to cover part of the variable rate term loan.

The calculation of the sensitivity of debt at floating rates and interest rate hedges to changes in interest rates is carried out over the total duration of the commitments until maturity, as presented below:

In thousands of euros Dec 31, 2024
Loans and borrowings from banking institutions Facility A Securization
Risks (600,000) (300,000)
Hedges 300,000 n/a
Net positions (300,000) (300,000)
Sensitivity to the interest rate -0.50%
Risks - P&L Impact 8,392 3,671
Hedges – Equity Impact (3,827) n/a
Sensitivity to the interest rate +0.50%
Risks - P&L Impact (8,392) (3,671)
Hedges – Equity Impact 3,842 n/a

The sensitivity of the non-hedged floating rate debt to a change in interest rates of plus or minus 0.50% would result in an impact in the income statement of plus or minus € 3 million over a twelve-month period.

21.3. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Foreign exchange risks on subsidiaries' transactions are managed mainly by the intermediate holding, SPIE Operations:

  • Through an Internal Exchange Shortfall Guarantee Agreement for currency flows corresponding to 100% of SPIE Group's operations
  • By intermediation for currency flows corresponding to equity operations.

In both cases, SPIE Operations uses forward contracts to hedge its exposure on the market. In the case of invitations to tender, foreign exchange risks may be hedged by COFACE policies.

The Group's exposition to the exchange risk relating to the US dollar and to the Swiss Franc is presented hereafter:

In thousands of euros

Currencies USD
(American Dollar)
CHF

0.9412

Hedges - P&L Impact 2,060 (630)
Sensitivity to the currency rate +10% vs Euro , ,
Risks - P&L Impact 1,674 (479)
Hedges - P&L Impact (1,685) 515
Cash-flow hedge n/a n/a

The estimated amount of credit risk on currency hedging as at December 31, 2024 is not significant (the risk of fluctuation during 2024 is also not significant).

21.4. COUNTERPARTY RISK

The Group is not exposed to any significant counterparty risk. Counterparty risks are primarily related to:

  • Cash investments;
  • Trade receivables;
  • Loans granted;
  • Derivative instruments.

The Group makes most of its cash investments in term accounts with certain banking partners.

Existing derivatives in the Group (see Note 21.1) relating to:

  • Forward purchases for USD 23,258 thousand and forward sales for USD 847 thousand;
  • Forward sales for CHF 1,734 thousand;

are distributed as follows at December 31, 2024 (in Euro equivalent):

  • Natixis : 56 %
  • BNP PARIBAS : 28 %
  • CACIB : 16 %

21.5. LIQUIDITY RISK

The Group's liquidity at December 31, 2024 is € 1,713 million, including € 713 million of net available cash and € 1,000 million of undrawn "Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)".

The Group introduced a securitization program on its trade receivables which has the following characteristics:

  • Eight of the Group's subsidiaries act as assignors in the securitization program in which assets are transferred to a securitization mutual fund named "SPIE Titrisation".
  • SPIE Operations is involved in this securitization program as a centralizing entity on behalf of the Group in relation to the depository bank.

This receivables securitization program allows participating companies to transfer full ownership of their trade receivables to the SPIE Titrisation mutual fund allowing them to obtain funding for a total amount of € 300 million.

As at December 31, 2024 securitized receivables represented a total amount of € 670.7 million with financing obtained amounting to € 300 million.

The Group has no liquidity risk as at December 31,2024.

21.6. CREDIT RISK

The main credit policies and procedures are defined at Group level. They are coordinated by the Group's Financial Division and monitored both by the latter and by the various Financial Divisions within each of its subsidiaries.

Credit risk management remains decentralized at Group level. Within each entity, credit risk is coordinated by the Credit Management function which is underpinned by the "Group Credit Management" policy and a shared Best Practices Manual. Payment terms are defined by the general terms of business applied within the Group.

Consequently, the Credit Management Department manages and monitors credit activity, risks and results and oversees collecting trade receivables regardless of whether they have been transferred.

Monthly management charts are used to monitor, among other things, customer financing at operational level. These provide the means to assess customer credit considering pre-tax invoicing and production data as well as customer data (overdue debts and advances) calculated in terms of the number of billing days.

General Management's constant focus on working capital is an essential element in cash generation, particularly in terms of the invoicing process, improving customer receivables management in its information systems, and reducing late payments.
