PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Accounting policies

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2017 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved by the European Union at 30 June 2017 .

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as those used to prepare the full-year financial statements at 31 December 2016, as detailed in Note 14-a of the consolidated financial statements included in the 2016 Registration Document.

In particular, the new mandatory standards applicable as from 1 January 2017 (Amendments to IAS 12 Income Tax, Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of cash flows, 2014-2016 Annual Improvements Cycle) have not yet been adopted by the European Union and the Group has therefore not applied them as at 30 June 2017.

Adjusted income statement

In order to facilitate monitoring and benchmarking of its financial and operating performance, the Group presents three key non-GAAP indicators, which exclude non-operating and/or non-recurring items. They are determined as follows:

EBIT, an adjusted operating indicator, corresponds to income from operations plus the share in net income of equity affiliates, before the impact of entries relating to the amortisation of intangible assets acquired (purchase price allocation – PPA) recorded as part of business combinations. From 1 January 2016, it also excludes the other expenses recorded in income from operations that are directly related to business combinations, which are unusual by nature.
Adjusted net income corresponds to net income, excluding the following items and net of the corresponding tax effects:
o amortisation of acquired intangible assets (PPA) recorded as part of business combinations;
o expenses recognised in income from operations that are directly related to business combinations, which are unusual by nature;
o gains and losses on disposals of assets, changes in scope of consolidation and other;
o changes in the fair value of derivative foreign exchange instruments (recognised under "Other financial income and expenses" in the consolidated financial statements);
o actuarial gains (losses) on long-term benefits (recognised under "Finance costs on pensions and other long-term employee benefits" in the consolidated financial statements).
Free operating cash flow corresponds to the net cash flow from operating activities before contributions to reduce the pension deficit in the United Kingdom, and after deducting net operating investments.

Readers are reminded that only the consolidated financial statements at 31 December were audited by the Statutory Auditors, including the calculation of EBIT, which is described in Note 2 "Segment Information" to the consolidated financial statements, and free operating cash flow, which is described in Note 11.1. Adjusted financial information other than that provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements is subject to the verification procedures applicable to all information included in this report.

The impact of these adjustment entries on the profit and loss account for H1 2017 and H1 2016 is as follows:

Order intake in H1 2017 stood at €5,972 million, an increase of 10% year-on-year (10% at constant scope and currency² ). The book-to-bill ratio was 0.82 for H1 2017 (versus 0.79 in the prior-year period), and 1.12 over the last 12 months.

In H1 2017, Thales booked 8 large orders with a unit value of over €100 million (compared to 3 such orders in H1 2016), representing a total amount of €1,180 million:

1 contract booked in Q1, covering the supply of a telecommunications satellite to an emerging-market customer.
7 large orders booked in Q2:
o The supply of in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems to a major North American carrier
o The construction for Inmarsat of a very high throughput satellite (V-HTS) to offer on-board Internet connectivity (Global Xpress network)
o The operation and maintenance of critical security, information and communication systems at the French Ministry of Defence's new Balard headquarters, which hosts more than 9,000 people
o A contract in the framework of the development and construction of five intermediate-sized frigates (FTIs) for the French Navy
o The contract to manufacture the first 340 armoured vehicles as part of the Scorpion programme, in partnership with Nexter and Renault Trucks Defense, for the French Ministry of Defence
o The supply of AREOS reconnaissance "pods" to a military customer
o The delivery of several systems and sensors to an emerging-market navy

Orders with a unit value of less than €100 million declined slightly by 2%.

From a geographical perspective¹ , order intake was broadly stable year-on-year in emerging markets (€1,571 million, down 3%), while it was solid in mature markets, where it rose 16% to €4,401 million thanks to performances in France (up 51%) and North America (up 42%).

¹ Mature markets: Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand. Emerging markets: all other countries.

² Taking into account a negative exchange rate effect of €18 million and a net positive scope effect of €7 million, mainly related to the consolidation of Vormetric on 16 March 2016 (Defence & Security segment) and to the disposal of the identity management business in Q2 2017 (same segment).

Order intake in the Aerospace segment stood at €2,238 million, up 1% from €2,218 million in H1 2016. Commercial Avionics orders maintained their positive momentum. The In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity business recorded solid growth, driven by the booking of a large order during the period. Despite the two contract wins listed above, order intake for the Space segment declined year-on-year.

At €662 million, order intake in the Transport segment was up 31% compared to H1 2016, lifted notably by the contract for the regional express train linking Dakar to the city's new airport.

Order intake in the Defence & Security segment rose 14% to €3,035 million, from €2,670 million in H1 2016, reflecting in particular the good momentum in equipment for military aircraft and vessels and in secure information and communication systems.

1 Of which emerging markets	2,283	1,990	+14.7%	+15.1%

Sales for H1 2017 stood at €7,241 million, compared to €6,846 million in H1 2016, up 5.8% on a reported basis² , and up 5.9% at constant scope and currency ("organic" change), driven by good momentum in all segments.

From a geographical perspective ¹ , this sound performance reflected both a continued strong growth of 15.1% in emerging markets (14.2% in H1 2016) and moderate organic growth of 2.2% in mature markets (6.8% in H1 2016).

Sales in the Aerospace segment totalled €2,872 million, a 7.7% increase compared to H1 2016 (7.2% increase at constant scope and currency). The Avionics and In-Flight Entertainment businesses maintained their positive dynamic, driven in particular by the increase in deliveries of avionics systems to Airbus. Only sales of tubes and imaging systems declined, reflecting the cooling of the world satellite market. Sales in the Space segment continued to grow strongly thanks to contracts signed in 2015 and 2016, notably with commercial and military customers.

In the Transport segment, sales totalled €711 million, broadly stable compared to H1 2016 (down 0.9%, or down 0.1% at constant scope and currency). This performance can be attributed to an unfavourable basis of comparison, with H1 2016 benefiting from the combined effect of the start of invoicing on the three major urban rail signalling contracts won in 2015 and of the return to schedule for projects impacted by execution delays. When compared to H1 2015, sales for the segment have continued on a strong growth trajectory (up 29% at constant scope and currency).

¹ Mature markets: Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand. Emerging markets: all other countries.

² Taking into account a negative exchange rate effect of €16 million and a net positive scope effect of €7 million, mainly related to the consolidation of Vormetric on 16 March 2016 (Defence & Security segment) and to the disposal of the identity management business in Q2 2017 (same segment).

Sales in the Defence & Security segment represented €3,631 million, up 6.1% compared to H1 2016 (up 6.5% at constant scope and currency). Almost all businesses contributed to this momentum. The Land and Air Systems business recorded steady growth, notably in missile electronics and protected vehicles, with the ramp-up of the Hawkei vehicle supply contract with the Australian Defence Force. The Defence Mission Systems business benefited in particular from a high level of activity in combat aircraft systems. Only the Secure Communications and Information Systems business experienced a slowdown, with the positive dynamic in military networks and infrastructure systems offset by declining sales in radio communication products.

The Group continues to work on the implementation of IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers and plans to provide an update on the impact of this standard when it will disclose its Q3 2017 order intake and sales.

Total	637	551	+16%	+17%

In H1 2017, consolidated EBIT was €637 million, or 8.8% of sales, versus €551 million (8.1% of sales) in H1 2016.

The Aerospace segment posted EBIT of €263 million (9.2% of sales), versus €239 million (9.0% of sales) for the same period in 2016. The segment maintained good margins, the increase in R&D expenses (up 17% year-on-year) being offset by lower sales and administrative expenses.

EBIT for the Transport segment continued to recover, amounting to €6 million (0.9% of sales) compared to a negative €12 million (negative 1.6% of sales) in H1 2016. This performance demonstrates the business' gradual return to profitability as earlier low- or zero-margin contracts are delivered.

In the Defence & Security segment, EBIT increased significantly to €374 million (10.3% of sales) versus €334 million in H1 2016 (9.8% of sales). The wider margins reflected the good sales dynamic as well as savings on fixed costs and lower restructuring charges.

Naval Group (formerly DCNS) contributed €27 million to EBIT in H1 2017, compared to €20 million in H1 2016. Naval Group posted high sales growth of 18% during the period. In addition, the award of the contract for intermediate-sized frigates for the French Navy will increase visibility for the business in the coming years. For Full Year 2017, Naval Group expects net profit to grow by around 10-15% compared to 2016.

Adjusted net financial income (expense)

At €2 million in H1 2017 versus €1 million in H1 2016, net interest income remained very low. Other adjusted financial income (expense) amounted to a net expense of €20 million in H1 2017, compared to a net expense of €4 million in H1 2016, primarily due to a less favourable foreign exchange performance. Finance costs on pensions and other long-term employee benefits¹ remained stable (€31 million, versus €34 million in H1 2016), with the rise in pension obligations offset by a decline in discount rates.

Adjusted net income (expense)

As a result, adjusted net income, Group share was €424 million versus €367 million in H1 2016, after an adjusted tax charge¹ of €139 million, compared to €117 million in H1 2016. The effective tax rate amounted to 27.0%, compared to 26.2% in H1 2016.

Adjusted net income, Group share, per share¹ came out at €2.00, up 15% on H1 2016 (€1.74).

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Income from operations

After accounting for the €54 million impact of purchase price allocation (PPA), compared to €40 million in the first half last year, reported income from operations was €498 million, compared to €435 million at 30 June 2016 (representing a 14% increase).

Income of operating activities before share in net income (loss) from equity affiliates was at €489 million, compared to €530 million at 30 June 2016.

Income of operating activities after share in net income (loss) of equity affiliates

The share in net income (loss) of equity affiliates comes to €61 million, compared to €56 million during the first half of 2016. Income of operating activities after share in net income from equity affiliates therefore comes to €550 million, compared to €586 million for the same period last year.

Net financial income/(expense)

Net interest expense was a positive €2 million compared to €1 million in the first half of 2016. Other financial expenses were -€63 million, compared to -€49 million in the first half of 2016, mainly due to a negative impact of foreign exchange losses (-€13 million against -€4 million at 30 June 2016). Finance costs on pensions and other employee benefits amounted to -€28 million compared to -€48 million for the first six months of 2016, the decrease of long term rates in UK offsetting largely the increase of obligations.

Net income (loss)

The first half of 2016 closed with consolidated net earnings, Group share of €384 million, after an income tax charge of -€80 million compared to -€88 million. Net earnings per share came to €1.82 compared to €1.28 at the end of June 2015.

FINANCIAL POSITION AT 30 JUNE 2017

For the first six months of 2017, free operating cash-flow amounted to €216 million, up from €45 million in H1 2016. This sound performance primarily reflects the moderate increase in working capital during the period (€227 million in H1 2017 versus €337 million in H1 2016 and €697 million in H1 2015) and a temporary slowdown in operating investments.

Changes in Working Capital Requirements and in reserves for contingencies	(227)	(337)
Payment of pension benefits, excluding contributions related to the reduction of the UK pension deficit	(62)	(52)
Net financial interest paid	(6)	(5)
Income tax paid	(46)	(39)

Dividends	(254)	(212)
Exchange rate and other	(34)	(46)
Change in net cash	(72)	(539)

At 30 June 2017, net cash thus amounted to €2,294 million, compared to €1,439 million at 30 June 2016 and €2,366 million at 31 December 2016, after the distribution of €254 million in dividends during the half year (€212 million in H1 2016) and net proceeds of €40 million from acquisitions and disposals in the period, mainly related to the sale of the identity management business, completed in May 2017.

Equity, Group share stood at €4,760 million compared to €4,640 million at 31 December 2016, with consolidated net income, Group share (€336 million) and the adjustment of foreign exchange hedges offsetting the distribution of dividends and the increase in net pension obligations.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Main related party transactions are disclosed in note 14-a of the consolidated financial statements included in the 2016 registration document.

Revenues with the French Ministry of Defence amounted to € 1 108.6 million in the first half of 2017 and € 990.7 million in the first half of 2016.

At 30 June 2017, mature receivables bearing interest on overdue payments from the DGA (French defence procurement agency) amounted to € 20.3 million (€ 39.4 million at 31 December 2016).

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE SECOND HALF OF 2017 FISCAL YEAR

There are no material changes in risks and uncertainties that are described in the Group management report for 2016 ("1.1.2 Risk Factors" pages 14-24 of the 2016 Registration Document filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) on 5 April 2017).

OUTLOOK FOR THE CURRENT YEAR

The H1 2017 results are in line with expectations. In this context, the Group confirms all its objectives, as set out below.

Thales should continue to benefit from positive trends in most of its markets. Although below the highs recorded in 2015 and 2016, the order intake in 2017 should remain brisk, at around €14 billion.

Sales in 2017 should see mid-single digit organic growth compared to 2016.

This positive trend, combined with continuing efforts to improve competitiveness, should result in Thales delivering between €1,480 million and €1,500 million in EBIT (based on February 2017 scope and exchange rates), representing an increase of 9% to 11% versus 2016.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

All monetary amounts included in these notes are expressed in millions of euros.

1. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FRAMEWORK

Thales' condensed interim consolidated financial statements for six months ended 30 June 2017 were approved and authorised for issue by its Board of Directors on 25 July 2017.

Thales (Parent Company) is a French joint-stock company (société anonyme), registered with the Nanterre Trade and Companies' Register under number 552 059 024.

1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION FOR THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In particular, the new mandatory standards applicable as from 1 January 2017 (Amendments to IAS 12 Income Tax, Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of cash flows, 2014-2016 Annual Improvements Cycle) have not yet been adopted by the European Union and the Group has therefore not applied them as at 30 June 2017.

The specific provisions relating to the preparation of interim financial statements are described hereafter.

a) Measurement procedures used for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

Pensions and other long-term employee benefits

Pension costs for interim periods are recognised based on the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the prior year. When appropriate, these valuations are adjusted to take into account curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events that occurred during the period. In addition, pensions and other long-term benefits liabilities are updated in order to reflect material changes impacting the yield on investment-grade corporate bonds in the concerned geographic area (the benchmark used to determine the discount rate), the inflation rate and the actual return on plan assets.

Income taxes

Current and deferred income tax expense for interim periods is calculated at each tax entity level by applying the average estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year to the income for the period. When required, this amount is adjusted to take into account the tax effects of specific events of the period.

Goodwill

Impairment tests are performed for each annual closing, and whenever there is an indication of impairment (note 4.1). Impairment that would be recognised in the first half of the year is not reversible.

¹ Available at the following internet address : https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/international-accounting-standards-regulation-ec-no-1606- 2002.

b) Seasonality of business

In accordance with accounting policies, revenues are recognised, as at year end, over the period of their realisation. In previous years the level of business has been higher in the last quarter, and particularly in December. Revenues and income from operations have been generally lower in the first half of the year due to the seasonality of business. The company has noted that this phenomenon is of a recurring nature, even though its extent varies from year to year.

c) Conversion rates

The main closing and average exchange rates for the periods used are the following:

	30 June 2017				30 June 2016
Euro	Closing rate	Average rate	Closing rate	Average rate	Closing rate	Average rate
Australian Dollar	1.4851	1.4420	1.4929	1.5116	1.4596	1.4852
Pound Sterling	0.8793	0.8612	0.8265	0.7850	0.8562	0.8227
U.S. Dollar	1.1412	1.0934	1.1102	1.1142	1.0541	1.1032

1.2 NEW IFRS STANDARDS MANDATORILY APPLICABLE AFTER 30 JUNE 2017

New standards and interpretations issued by the IASB, but not yet mandatorily applicable, are described in the Note 1 "Accounting standards framework" note to the consolidated financial statements of the 2016 Registration Document, page 34.

This note primarily describes the main impacts of IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) for Thales.

Thales has opted for the full retrospective approach. This restatement will present historical trends consistently as the consolidated financial information at the end-December 2017 will have been restated on a comparable basis with the consolidated financial information recognised under IFRS 15 at the end-December 2018.

The 2017 comparative financial statements included in the 2018 financial statements will be restated and opening equity as of 1 January 2017 will be adjusted for the impacts of applying the new standard.

In 2017, the Group has been working on the implementation of this new standard. The assessment of the impacts on the consolidated balance sheet at the transition date and on the interim consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2017 is still ongoing.

The Group intends to present its restated financial statements for the first half of 2017, following the Statutory Auditor's review, in the press release on the order intake and sales for the third quarter of 2017.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The operating segments presented by the Group are as follows :

The Aerospace segment, which combines the "Avionics" and "Space" Global Business Units that develop on-board systems, solutions and services mainly for private sector customers (aircraft manufacturers, airlines, satellite operators, etc.), but also to a lesser extent for government/defence customers (states, space agencies and other semi-public organisations).

The Transport segment, which comprises the "Ground Transportation Systems" Global Business Unit that develops systems and services for an exclusively civilian customer base of ground transportation infrastructure operators;

The Defence and Security segment, which combines the "Secure Communications and Information Systems", "Land and Air Systems" and "Defence Mission Systems" Global Business Units that develop equipments, systems and services for the armed and security forces and for the protection of networks and infrastructures, mainly for a government/defence customer base;.

In order to monitor the operating and financial performance of the Group entities, the Group's executives regularly consider certain key non-GAAP indicators as defined, in Note 14-a of the consolidated financial statements included in the 2016 Registration Document, which enable them to exclude certain nonoperating and non-recurring items.

In particular, EBIT, presented by business segment below, corresponds to income from operations plus the share in net income of equity affiliates, excluding amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets (purchase price allocation – PPA) reported under business combinations. From 1 January 2016, it also excludes other expenses booked to income from operations that are directly linked to business combinations, which are unusual by nature.

*Backlog, Order intake and Sales included in the "Other, elim and non unallocated" column relate to corporate activities (Thales parent company, Thales Global Services, Group R&D centers, facilities management), and to the elimination of transactions between the business segments.

Non-allocated EBIT includes Group's share (35%) in the net income of Naval Group (formerly DCNS), corporate income from operations which not assigned to the segments and the cost of vacant premises. Other costs (mainly the costs of foreign holding companies not invoiced and the expenses related to share-based payments) are reallocated to business segments proportionally to their respective ex-Group sales.

The reconciliation between income from operations and EBIT is analysed as follow:

3. IMPACT OF CHANGES IN SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

3.1 MAIN CHANGES IN SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

a) Main events in 2017 first half

In May 2017, Thales finalised the disposal of its identity management business to Imprimerie Nationale Group for a net amount of €21.3 million. The disposal gain recognised in the consolidated financial statements amounted to €17.8 million.

b) On going event as of period end

In April 2017, Thales signed a definitive agreement to acquire the US company Guavus, one of the pioneers of real-time big data analytics. This transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2017. Parties agreed for a maximum enterprise value of US\$215 million, subject to the achievement of significant sales growth targets. The Company's revenues are expected to exceed US\$30 million for the current fiscal year.

c) Main events in 2016

At the end of March 2016, Thales finalised the acquisition of Vormetric, a leading provider of data protection solutions for a total of \$408 million (€372.4 million). Vormetric has been consolidated since its acquisition.

As part of the transaction, Thales signed compensation agreements with key managers subject to their remaining with the company until 2020. The related amounts are being taken to income on a straight-lline basis in tranches over the vesting period. These amounts are recognised in income from operations, but restated for EBIT calculation (€10.1 million for first half 2017, €7.1 million for first half 2016 and €19 million for 2016).

At the end of June 2016, Thales acquired Raytheon's non-controlling interest in French company TRS SAS and sold its stake in US company TRS LLC to Raytheon. Taken together, these transactions resulted in a net gain of \$90 million (€81 million) in Thales' consolidated financial statements.

In Thales' consolidated financial statements, the acquisition of Raytheon's non-controlling interest in TRS SAS led to a reclassification in equity. The disposal of the interest in TRS LLC resulted in a disposal gain of €91.8 million. Thales-Raytheon Systems Air and Missile Defense Command remains jointly owned by the Group and is accounted for under the equity method.

In October 2016, Thales sold its interest in Hanwha Thales, a jointly-owned company that specialises in defence electronics in Korea, for €204.4 million. The disposal gain recognised in the consolidated financial statements amounted to €113.8 million.

Goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Group's budgetary timetable.

In the context of the interim closing, the cash generating units (CGU) for which there is an indication of impairment, in particular a decrease in activity and profitability forecasts against the budget, are subject to new tests including the effects of recent events known at the closing date.

On 30 June 2017, the Group conducted a review of impairment indications relating to goodwill allocated to cash-generating units (CGU) or group of CGU for which sensitivity tests were presented in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2016. This review confirmed the absence of impairment to be recognised at 30 June 2017.

Statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your annual general meetings and in accordance with article L. 451-1-2 III of the French monetary and financial code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:

the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Thales, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2016,
the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the board of directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

I - Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in

France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that cause us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, standard of the IFRS as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

II - Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.

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

Paris-La Défense and Courbevoie, July 21, 2016
