Gauthier Louette, Chairman & CEO, said:
"SPIE delivered an outstanding performance in H1 2023 with an exceptional level of organic growth, a strong +30 bps EBITA margin increase resulting in an EBITA growth of 16% year on year.
This demonstrates the strengths of SPIE's business model, even in an inflationary context. With unique positioning in its geographies and by fostering the proximity with its clients, the Group has become the first port of call when it comes to expert solutions towards the energy transition.
The accelerating demand on energy-related markets combined with the labour resources scarcity observed in our sector, leads us to further insist on our high selectivity approach and quality of execution to further improve our EBITA margin.
Bolt-on M&A remains a key pillar of our strategy and our pipeline of opportunities is very rich.
In the new interest rates and debt financing environment, SPIE successfully managed a partial refinancing of its debt and an optimisation of its financing conditions.
These strong H1 2023 results allow us to revise upwards our guidance for the full year 2023 with an organic growth of at least 6% and an EBITA margin increase of c.+30 bps".

Group revenue stood at €4,114.0 million in H1 2023, up +9.6% compared to H1 2022. Revenue organic growth was up +9.8%, confirming the strong demand on our markets and evidencing our pricing power in an inflationary context. Changes in perimeter accounted for -0.4%, mainly related to the disposal of our UK activities and the consolidation effect of acquisitions. Currency movements impacts were +0.2%.

2 Ratio of net debt excluding impact of IFRS 16 at end of June to pro forma EBITDA (including full-year impact of acquisitions and disposals) on a trailing twelvemonth basis

Group EBITA rose by +16.1%, to €220.0 million. EBITA margin was at 5.3%, up +30 bps compared to H1 2022, with all our segments improving thanks to our permanent focus on operational excellence across all activities and our selective approach in a context of higher inflation and labour resources scarcity. The Netherlands recorded a significant EBITA margin increase, supported by the successful integration of Worksphere and the performance initiatives conducted in the historical perimeter bearing fruit.
Adjusted net income1 (Group share) was €122.3 million, up +15.1% year-on-year.
Net income (Group share) was at €73.2 million (from €72.5 million in H1 2022), only up +1.0%, due to the negative €(18.4) million non-cash impact related to the split accounting method of the ORNANE under IFRS.
SPIE's structurally negative working capital stood at €(366.7) million at end of June 2023, corresponding to (16) days of revenue.
Net debt excluding IFRS 16 was €1,346.8 million at end of June 2023, compared to €1,470.7 million at end of June 2022. Leverage ratio2 was down -0.5x, at 2.3x at end of June 2023 compared to 2.8x at end of June 2022. As a result of SPIE's usual working capital seasonality, net debt and leverage increased in H1 2023 compared to December 31st , 2022 levels (€920.1 million net debt; 1.6x leverage ratio). Seasonality of working capital will generate a highly positive free cash flow in H2 resulting in a leverage ratio reduction.

France
The France segment's revenue grew by +8.9% in H1 2023, exclusively on an organic basis. EBITA margin was up +10 bps at 5.8% in H1 2023 compared to 5.7% in H1 2022.
Our Building Solutions and Technical Facility Management activities remained boosted by growing needs for energy efficiency solutions (including installation works for building renovation and energy performance contracts respectively). City Networks benefitted from the high demand for e-mobility (charging stations) and the good momentum of our smart public lighting solutions (including energy performance contract). Industry Services, addressing a wide range of customers and sectors, were supported by decarbonation requirements, but also automation and digitalisation of processes.
1 Disposal of (I) UK operations (II) ATMN Industrie (France) (III) Kabel-en Leidingtechniek B.V (the Netherlands)

EBITA margin increased by +10 bps in H1 2023, to 5.8%, thanks to our enhanced pricing power, our permanent focus on quality of execution and our added-value innovative solutions.
Germany & Central Europe
Revenue in Germany & Central Europe increased by +14.6% in H1 2023, including a +8.4% organic growth. Revenue growth from bolt-on acquisitions accounted for +5.9% and currency movements for +0.3%. EBITA margin was at 4.2%, up +10 bps compared to H1 2022.
In H1 2023, organic growth was solid in Germany at +4.4%; contribution from acquisitions was +2.2%. The main drivers of the activity in H1 were (i) our Technical Facility Management services, supported by dynamic energy-related markets and (ii) our Information and Communication Services, boosted notably by a large-scale investment from the Government to upgrade the healthcare infrastructures across Germany. High Voltage activities intensified in Q2 thanks to the ramp-up of some transmission lines projects.
EBITA margin in Germany increased by +10 bps in H1 2023 at 4.8% thanks to our strong positioning, our enhanced pricing power and permanent focus on quality of execution.
In Central Europe, the momentum was very strong across all our activities. Our position in Poland and Austria has been strengthened thanks to the recent acquisitions.
In Switzerland, the supply chain delays are now cleared, thus supporting our organic growth in H1.
North-Western Europe
Revenue in the North-Western Europe segment increased by +1.6% in H1 2023, including a +13.2% organic growth. Growth from change in perimeter was +2.1% and impact from disposals was -13.8% (disposal of our UK activities in December 2022). EBITA margin was markedly improved by +130 bps at 5.4% compared to 4.1% in H1 2022, mainly driven by the significant performance achieved in the Netherlands and a relutive impact from the disposal of our activities in the UK.
The Netherlands recorded an excellent performance in H1 2023. Organic growth was strong in all segments and particularly Industry Services, fuelled by investments in electrification and digitalisation. Our Technical Facility Management and Building Solutions activities were driven by the strong dynamic of Worksphere, while our Information and Communication Services were propelled by fire protection, data center and healthcare projects.

The EBITA margin significantly increased, supported by the improvement of Worksphere's margins together with synergies being delivered, as well as performance initiatives conducted in the historical perimeter bearing fruit.
In Belgium, organic growth was supported by Industry Services and Building Services.
Oil & Gas and Nuclear
In H1 2023, the Oil & Gas and Nuclear segment's revenue was up +14.9% year-on-year with a strong organic growth of +12.0%. External growth and disposals had a +1.8% impact; the currency movements had a +1.1% impact, primarily related to the USD/EUR parity benefitting to Oil & Gas Services. EBITA margin rose by +10 bps to 8.3%, compared to 8.2% in H1 2022.
In H1 2023, Oil and Gas Services experienced a robust growth despite a high comparison basis, reflecting the very good dynamic on our markets.
Nuclear services revenue remained constrained due to projects phasing effects. However, we anticipate long-term positive momentum with the French Government nuclear program for 6 new EPRs.
Acquisitions & perimeter
Bolt-on M&A
SPIE dedicates part of its free cash flow to fund a regular stream of small and mid-size bolt-on acquisitions. This bolt-on strategy is at the core of SPIE's growth model and contributes to the expansion of the Group's service offering and footprint density. SPIE operates in highly fragmented markets and therefore enjoys a rich pipeline of future M&A opportunities.
On June 19th, 2023, SPIE signed an agreement for the acquisition of Enterprise Communications & Services (ECS) a German technical services provider in information and communication technology for a well-diversified customer base. With around 130 employees, the company generated annual revenue of c. €22 million in 2022. This acquisition allows SPIE to strengthen its positioning in Information & Communication Services in Germany. The closing of the transaction is expected for Q3 2023.
On July 6 th, 2023, SPIE entered into exclusive negotiations for the acquisition of AVM Up in France. With this acquisition, SPIE strengthens its positioning in the strongly growing UCaaS market by offering complementary cloud services and added value solutions to its customers. With around 50 qualified employees, AVM Up generated revenue of c. €22 million in 2022. The transaction was closed on July 26th , 2023.

Free cash flow and net debt (excluding IFRS 16)
As induced by SPIE's usual working capital seasonal pattern (which translates into a cash outflow in H1 and a cash inflow in H2), as expected free cash flow was negative in H1 2023, at €(313.1) million compared to €(306.6) million in H1 2022.
Working capital stood at €(366.7) million at end of June 2023 corresponding to (16) days of revenue, compared to €(460.1) million and (21) days of revenue at end of June 2022 (excluding UK) . This is a solid performance in line with our 2022 pattern. As anticipated, it takes into account the high activity level until the end of Q2 mechanically implying higher accrued income and trade receivables at end of June 2023. We maintain a high level of discipline and attention regarding working capital management across the board, resulting in our long-standing cash generative model.
Net debt excluding IFRS 16 was at €1,346.8 million compared to €920.1 million at end of December 2022. Leverage ratio1 was down by 0.5x, at 2.3x at end of June 2023, compared to 2.8x at end of June 2022.
Financing and liquidity
The Group's liquidity remains very high, at €1,171.7 million at end of June 2023, including €571.7 million of cash and €600 million of undrawn Revolving Credit Facility compared to €1,214.6 million at end of June 2022.
In January 2023, the Group issued Sustainability-linked ORNANEs (Bonds settled in cash and/or convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares) due 2028 for a nominal amount of €400 million. The objective was twofold: to refinance the upcoming debt maturities (2024 Bond of €600 million) and optimise the Group's financing conditions by (i) using SPIE's cash to reduce the gross debt on balance sheet (by €200 million) and (ii) benefitting from an attractive 2% coupon.
In June 2023, SPIE renewed its securitisation facility for an amount of €300 million and for a period of four years, until June 2027, associated with improved margin conditions. The facility now includes ESG criteria as defined in the Senior Facility Agreement and the ESG Framework signed in November 2022, in line with the Group's strategy to embed its CSR roadmap into its financing strategy.
Therefore, the Group has no upcoming maturity before June 2026 and benefits from optimised financing conditions in a context of higher interests' rates.

In H1 2023, SPIE's long term corporate credit rating was upgraded by Standard & Poor's in January and by Fitch in May to BB+ (previously BB), both with stable outlook. This rewards our strong performance and the Group's sound financial structure.
2023 outlook: EBITA margin and organic growth revised upwards
In light of our very strong performance in H1, SPIE expects for 2023:
- Organic growth: at least 6% (Previously: "mid-single-digit organic growth")
- EBITA margin: c.+30 bps, in line with H1 2023 increase (Previously: "Further EBITA margin increase")
- High focus on bolt-on M&A remaining at the core of SPIE's business model (unchanged)
- The proposed dividend pay-out ratio will remain at c.40% of Adjusted Net Income 1 attributable to the Group
(unchanged)
Interim dividend
SPIE will pay an interim cash dividend of €0.22 per share on September 22nd, 2023 (ex-date: September 20th, 2023), i.e 30% of the approved dividend for 2022.

Financial definitions
Organic growth represents the production completed during the six months of year N by all the companies consolidated by the Group for the financial year ended December 31st of year N-1 (excluding any contribution from any companies acquired during year N) compared with the production performed during the 6 months of year N-1 by the same companies, independently of the date on which they were first consolidated within the Group.
EBITA represents adjusted operating income before amortisation of allocated goodwill, before tax and financial income.
Pro-forma EBITDA corresponds to income generated by the Group's permanent operations over 12 months before tax and financial income, including the impacts over 12 months of acquisitions. It is calculated before depreciation of tangible assets and amortisation of goodwill. It excludes the impact of IFRS 16.
Adjusted net income: correspond to net income adjusted for i) operating income items restated from the Group's EBITA, ii) the change in fair value and amortisation costs of derivative related to the ORNANE, and iii) the corresponding normative tax income adjustment.
Operating Cash-flow is the sum of EBITA, amortisation expenses, change in working capital requirement, and provisions related to income and expenses included in EBITA, minus net investment flows (excluding acquisitions) for the period. It excludes the impact of IFRS 16.
Free cash-flow is defined as operating cash-flow minus taxes, net interest paid, restructuring and discontinuation items and before acquisitions and disposals proceeds and charges. It excludes the impact of IFRS 16.
Leverage is the ratio of net debt excluding impact of IFRS 16 at end of June to pro forma EBITDA (including full-year impact of acquisitions and disposals) on a trailing twelve-month basis.
