First-half management report

VINCI's first half 2013 accounts were marked by increases in revenue and EBITDA, slight declines in operating income and net income as well as a significant drop in net financial debt, all within a difficult environment that was impacted by poor weather across most of Europe.

VINCI's first half 2013 consolidated revenue increased 4.3% to €18.7 billion. This was the accumulation of 2.6% organic growth, a 2.1% growth from acquisitions and a 0.4% negative currency effect. Concessions revenue rose 1.4% (+2.0% on a comparable structure basis) to more than €2.5 billion, with a 2.2% increase at VINCI Autoroutes and strong growth at VINCI Airports (+14%). Contracting revenue was €16.1 billion, up 5.3% actual or 3.2% on a comparable structure basis. Almost 37% of VINCI's total revenue was generated outside France in the first half (42% in Contracting).

Cash flow from operations before tax and financing costs (EBITDA) amounted to €2.4 billion (up 1.5%), equal to 12.7% of revenue. VINCI Autoroutes' EBITDA margin showed good improvement, increasing to 69.8% during the first six months of 2013, mainly due to a good control of operating costs, compared to 68.9% during the same period last year.

Operating income from ordinary activities (EBIT) was €1.5 billion, down 3.8% and represented 7.9% of revenue, compared with 8.6% in the first half of 2012. In addition to the impact of poor weather, EBIT was impacted mainly by increased depreciation charges at VINCI Autoroutes stemming from investments put into operation over the past 12 months (the Balbigny-Lyon section of the A89, the widening of the A63 and the "green package"). These effects were only partially offset by the French competitive and employment tax credit (Crédit d'impôt pour la compétitivité et l'emploi, or CICE).

Net income attributable to owners of the parent fell 4.7% to €748 million in the first half of 2013, while earnings per share declined 4.7% to €1.37.

Net financial debt amounted to €13.0 billion at 30 June 2013, down €1.2 billion relative to 30 June 2012. The €0.5 billion increase relative to 31 December 2012 was due to the seasonal variation in the operational cash position, investment in motorway concessions, payment of the 2012 final dividend and share buy-backs.

VINCI's and its affiliates' credit ratings were confirmed by Standard & Poor's (BBB+) and Moody's (Baa1), both with stable outlooks.

Since the beginning of 2013, the Group has successfully issued €1.9 billion of public and private bond placements with an average spread above 3-month Euribor of 90 basis points and maturities between 2 and 15 years.

At 30 June 2013, the Group's very high liquidity of €11.9 billion was composed of €5.5 billion in net cash managed and €6.4 billion in unused medium-term bank credit facilities maturing between 2016 and 2018.

The Contracting business maintained its good momentum in the first half of 2013, particularly outside France. Order intake during the first six months of 2013 totalled 16.9 billion.

The overall Contracting order book at the end of June 2013 stood at €31.8 billion, up approximately €500 million since the beginning of the year.

1. Key events in the period

1.1 Main acquisitions/New contracts

ANA acquisition

On 21 February 2013, VINCI signed a contract with the Portuguese government to acquire shares in ANA, the holder of a 50-year concession to operate ten Portuguese airports situated on the mainland (Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Beja), in the Azores (Ponta Delgada, Horta, Flores and Santa Maria) and in Madeira (Funchal and Porto Santo).

On 11 June 2013, the Group obtained the European competition authorities' approval to complete the acquisition.

The deal with the Portuguese government will complete in the second half of 2013 and will involve a cash payment of €1.2 billion for the ANA shares (including the €100 million downpayment made in February 2013). As part of the transaction, VINCI will also take on ANA's net financial debt, estimated at €1.8 billion.

Finalisation of financing for the Ohio East End Crossing project

In March 2013, VINCI and its partners in the project company Walsh and Bilfinger PI completed the financing of the building of the East End Crossing bridge as part of the Ohio River Bridges project in Indiana, United States.

The project involves building bridges and a tunnel connecting the city of Louisville in Kentucky to Southern Indiana. It is one of the largest projects to improve transport networks in the United States.

It is being financed through the issue of private activity bonds, which have been rated BBB by Standard & Poor's. This is the first time that S&P and Fitch have given a public rating to a public-private partnership of this type in the USA.

The total amount of the contract is around \$1 billion (around €780 million).

The consortium will operate, maintain and renovate a large portion of the East End Crossing infrastructure for a 35-year period.

Works will be carried out by a design-build joint venture comprising Walsh Construction (60%) and VINCI Construction Grands Projets (40%). Works should be completed in autumn 2016.

1.2 Financing activities

New corporate financing

VINCI SA and ASF carried out several bond issues in the first half of 2013 as part of their EMTN programme:

VINCI SA:

  • in February 2013, a €300 million private placement of two-year bonds;
  • in March 2013, a €150 million private placement of two-year FRNs (floating-rate notes);
  • in April 2013, a €500 million issue of three-year FRNs (floating-rate notes) at 3M Euribor + 0.58%.

ASF:

  • in January 2013, a €700 million issue of 10-year bonds paying a coupon of 2.875%;
  • in March 2013, a €100 million private placement of 12-year bonds;
  • in April 2013, a €130 million private placement of 15-year bonds.

Debt repayments

In March and April 2013, ASF repaid €445 million of loans from the CNA (Caisse Nationale des Autoroutes).

In May and June 2013, in respect of its €750 million term loan maturing in December 2013, ASF repaid €136 million ahead of schedule.

After these operations, the average maturity of the Group's long-term financial debt was 5.9 years at 30 June 2013.

1.3 Other key events in the period

State fee (redevance domaniale) payable by motorway concession companies

Through a decree of 28 May 2013, the state fee levied on motorway concession companies was increased by 50% from 1 July 2013. Legal proceedings have been commenced in the Conseil d'Etat seeking to cancel this increase, which would result in an additional charge of around €50 million per full year for VINCI Autoroutes. In addition, compensation requests have been sent to the French government.

During the first half of 2013, the government and motorway concession companies held discussions regarding additional investments that could be carried out, along with ways of financing this investment through extensions of concession periods.

At the time this report was published, these discussions between the French government and motorway concession companies (including VINCI Autoroutes) had not been completed yet.

2. Revenue

Revenue totalled €18.7 billion in the first half of 2013, up 4.3% with respect to the first half of 2012. This reflects organic growth of 2.6%, a 2.1% growth from acquisitions and a negative exchange rate effect of 0.4%.

Concessions revenue rose 1.4% (+2.0% on a comparable structure basis) to more than €2.5 billion, with a 2.2% increase at VINCI Autoroutes and strong growth at VINCI Airports (+14%).

Contracting revenue (VINCI Energies, Eurovia, VINCI Construction) was €16.1 billion, up 5.3% actual or 3.2% on a comparable structure basis.

In France, revenue totalled €11.8 billion, an increase of 2.7% (up 2.4% on a constant structure basis).

Outside France, revenue rose 7.1% to €6.9 billion (up 2.9% on a constant structure and exchange rate basis). The proportion of revenue generated outside France was almost 37%.

CONCESSIONS: €2,577 million (+1.4% actual; +2.0% on a comparable structure basis)

VINCI Autoroutes (ASF, Escota, Cofiroute, Arcour): revenue grew 2.2% in the first half of 2013. Toll revenue increased 2.1% to €2,065 million. This was due to an improvement in traffic on the intercity network in the last few months (+0.3% overall, +0.7% for light vehicles, -2.1% for heavy vehicles), the A86 Duplex ramp up (+0.1%) and other impacts (+1.7%).

VINCI Concessions generated revenue of €465 million in the first half of 2013, an increase of 1.0% on a comparable structure basis. VINCI Airports posted strong increase of 14%, with firm growth in traffic at Nantes-Atlantique airport and Cambodia Airports. VINCI Park's revenue fell slightly to €301 million (down 1.9% on a comparable structure basis, including a 2.5% fall in France and a 0.7% decline internationally).

CONTRACTING: €16,129 million (+5.3% actual; +3.2% on a comparable structure basis)

In France, revenue came in up 4.0% at €9,367 million (up 3.5% on a constant structure basis).

Outside France, revenue rose 7.2% to €6,761 million, representing an increase of 2.8% on a constant structure and exchange rate basis and accounted for close to 42% of the total in the Contracting business.

VINCI Energies: €4,419 million (+5.8% actual; -0.4% on a comparable structure basis)

In France, revenue was €2,652 million (stable actual or down 0.8% on a comparable structure basis). There was good performance in the telecoms sector, whereas the situation in industry varied more between regions. Activity in the service sector was down due to VINCI Facilities higher selectivity in terms of accepting orders.

Outside France, revenue totalled €1,766 million (up 16.1% actual or stable on a comparable structure basis). Revenue rose sharply in Brazil, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Business levels were stable in Germany, before taking GA Gruppe into account (acquired in the 2nd half of 2012). After strong growth in 2012, revenue fell in the first half of 2013 in Morocco and Sweden. Business levels continued to decline in Southern Europe.

Eurovia: €3,603 million (-6.0% actual; -6.3% on a comparable structure basis)

In France, first-half 2013 revenue was €2,308 million, with a decrease of 2.2% (on actual or comparable structure basis). Adverse weather conditions in the first half of 2013 affected the traditional roads business. However, specialised activities related to rail infrastructure and urban transport were stable.

Outside France, revenue totalled €1,295 million, down 12.1% actual and down 12.6% on a comparable structure basis. There was a sharp drop in revenue in Central European countries (Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic) following the completion of major projects, particularly tough weather conditions and the market decline. Activity levels also declined in Germany and in Quebec. In contrast, the United Kingdom and the United States posted strong business activity.

VINCI Construction: €8,107 million (+11.0% actual; +10.4% on a comparable structure basis)

In France, revenue amounted to €4,407 million (up 10.4% actual or 9.8% on a constant structure basis). This reflects business from the Tours– Bordeaux high-speed rail line, which accounted for 10% of revenue growth in the first half of 2013, along with a slight decline in building activity. Business levels in French overseas territories remained robust.

Outside France, revenue totalled €3,700 million (up 11.8% actual or 11.1% on a comparable structure basis). Sogea Satom (African subsidiaries), VINCI Construction Grands Projets, Soletanche Freyssinet and Entrepose Contracting all achieved strong business activity. There was also growth in activity in the United Kingdom and Benelux. However, revenue fell among Central European subsidiaries.

As a whole and in all contracting business lines, the Tours-Bordeaux high-speed rail line project generated revenue of €639 million in the first half of 2013 (€185 million in the year-earlier period).

VINCI Immobilier: revenue rose 0.6% to €360 million in the first half of 2013, with growth in commercial property offsetting a slight decline in residential property.

(***) Operating income from ordinary activities is defined as operating income before the effects of share-based payments (IFRS 2), goodwill impairment expense and the income or loss of companies accounted for under the equity method.

In Concessions, operating income from ordinary activities was €997 million, representing 38.7% of revenue, up 0.6% compared with €991 million in the first half of 2012.

VINCI Autoroutes' operating income from ordinary activities fell 0.9% year-on-year to €891 million. Operating margin fell from 43.5% in the first half of 2012 to 42.2% in the first half of 2013. This reflects higher depreciation charges of €54 million at €592 million after new sections of road and infrastructure came into service (widening of the A63 in the second half of 2012, opening of the Lyon–Balbigny section of the A89 in January 2013, motorway green package). Operating expenses remained well under control.

VINCI Concessions' operating income from ordinary activities rose 15.2% to €105 million. Operating margin rose from 19.2% in the first half of 2012 to 22.6% in the first half of 2013. These strong performances were mainly due to VINCI Park and VINCI Airports.

In the Contracting business, operating income from ordinary activities was down 8.5% at €459 million compared with €502 million in the first half of 2012. Operating margin fell from 3.3% in the first half of 2012 to 2.8% in the first half of 2013. The positive impact of the the French competitive and employment tax credit (Crédit d'impôt pour la compétitivité et l'emploi, or CICE) is partly offset by social measures taken in France in 2011 and 2012.

VINCI Energies' operating income from ordinary activities rose 2.0% year-on-year to €235 million in the first half of 2013. Operating margin was 5.3% in the first half of 2013, as opposed to 5.5% in the first half of 2012.

Eurovia made an operating loss from ordinary activities of €82 million in the first half of 2013, as opposed to a loss of €14 million in the yearearlier period. This decline reflects bad weather conditions experienced in the first half of 2013 in most of European countries and in Northern America. It also reflects results deterioration in Central European markets, particularly in Poland.

VINCI Construction's operating income from ordinary activities rose 7.6% year-on-year to €307 million. Operating margin fell from 3.9% in the first half of 2012 to 3.8% in the first half of 2013.

At VINCI Immobilier, operating income from ordinary activities fell 48% year-on-year to €17 million, after benefiting from the launch of some major commercial property transactions in the first half of 2012.

After taking account of share-based payment expense (IFRS 2), goodwill impairment expense and the share of the income or loss of companies accounted for under the equity method, operating income was €1,484 million or 7.9% of revenue in the first half of 2013, representing a 2.7% decrease relative to the first half of 2012 (€1,526 million; 8.5% of revenue).

Share-based payment expense, which reflects the benefits granted to employees under performance share plans, stock option plans and Group savings plans, amounted to €43 million (€49 million in the first half of 2012).

The Group's share in the income or loss of companies accounted for under the equity method rose to €41 million (€29 million in the first half of 2012).

The cost of net financial debt fell €30 million to €295 million (€326 million in the year-earlier period).

Due to its policy of moving from fixed- to floating-rate debt, the Group continued to benefit from low levels of interest rates and therefore fully offset the fall in income from invested cash.

The average cost of gross long-term debt was 3.34% at 30 June 2013 (3.63% at 31 December 2012 and 3.90% at 30 June 2012).

Other financial income and expense resulted in net expense of €12 million, compared with net income of €20 million in the first half of 2012. This figure includes €13 million of capitalised borrowing costs on current concession investments, mainly at ASF (€36 million in the first half of 2012). It also includes the cost of discounting retirement benefit obligations and provisions for the obligation to maintain the condition of concession intangible assets in the amount of €30 million, compared with €43 million in the first half of 2012. Capital gains on disposals of securities and receivables amounted to €4 million as opposed to €12 million in the first half of 2012. Dividends received from unconsolidated entities totalled €12 million (€11 million in the first half of 2012).

Tax totalled €385 million, a decrease of €8 million relative to the first-half 2012 figure of €392 million. The effective tax rate was 33.9% in the first half of 2013, as opposed to 32.9% in the first half of 2012. It is impacted by the new tax measures implemented in France, particularly the 3% dividend tax and the limit placed on the tax-deductibility of interest payments.

Non-controlling interests in income amounted to €45 million (€43 million in the first half of 2012) and consisted mainly of the share of Cofiroute and CFE income that is not attributable to the owners of the parent.

Consolidated net income attributable to owners of the parent amounted to €748 million in the first half of 2013, down 4.7% compared with the first half of 2012 (€785 million).

Diluted earnings per share fell 4.7% to €1.37 (€1.44 in the first half of 2012).

4. Cash flows

Cash flow from operations before tax and financing costs (EBITDA) rose 1.5% to €2,383 million in the first half of 2013, versus €2,347 million in the first half of 2012. EBITDA equalled 12.7% of revenue.

In the Concessions business, EBITDA increased 3.0% to €1,628 million or 63.2% of revenue, as opposed to €1,581 million and 62.2% of revenue in the first half of 2012.

VINCI Autoroutes' EBITDA grew 3.5% to €1,474 million, versus €1,424 million in the first half of 2012. EBITDA margin was 69.8%, up from 68.9% in the year-earlier period.

In the Contracting business, EBITDA fell 1.2% to €730 million or 4.5% of revenue (€722 million and 4.7% of revenue in the first half of 2012).

The change in the working capital requirement relating to business activities and current provisions – which is traditionally negative in the first half of the year due to seasonal variations in the Contracting business – was negative at €881 million in the first half of 2013, versus €921 million in the first half of 2012. At VINCI Construction and Eurovia, and adjusted for changes related to the Tours-Bordeaux HSL project, the WCR related to business activities deteriorated less than in the first half of 2012.

Financial interest paid increased €26 million to €372 million in the first half of 2013 (€346 million in the first half of 2012).

Income taxes paid rose €180 million to €691 million (€511 million in the first half of 2012) due to the differing timings of remaining income tax payments in France between the first and second halves of 2012 and 2013, along with the CICE (competitiveness and employment tax credit), which will not be deductible from tax paid until 2014.

Cash flows from operating activities totalled €464 million in the first half of 2013, a decrease of €134 million relative to the first-half 2012 figure of €597 million.

After accounting for operating investments net of disposals of €298 million (down 17% relative to the year-earlier figure of €358 million), operating cash flow (1) was €165 million (€240 million in the first half of 2012).

Growth investments in concessions totalled €399 million (€598 million in the year-earlier period). They include €348 million invested by VINCI Autoroutes in France (€544 million in the first half of 2012) under the motorway operators' master plans and the green motorway package, including €283 million at ASF and Escota and €63 million at Cofiroute.

Free cash flow, before financial investments, was negative at €233 million, versus an outflow of €359 million in the first half of 2012.

Financial investments net of disposals, including the net debt of acquired companies, represented €35 million, as opposed to €286 million in the first half of 2012.

Other investment flows included the €100 million downpayment made in February 2013 on the signature of the share purchase agreement with the Portuguese government regarding ANA.

Dividends paid in the period totalled €701 million, of which €654 million was distributed by VINCI SA as the final dividend for 2012, including €212 million paid in cash and €441 million paid in new shares. The remainder includes dividends paid to non-controlling shareholders by some subsidiaries, mainly Cofiroute.

(1) Free operating cash flow: cash flow from operations adjusted for net investments in operating assets (excluding growth investments in concession fixed assets).

Share capital increases during the first half of 2013 totalled €691 million, including €441 million relating to the payment of dividends in shares, €215 million relating to Group savings plans and €36 million relating to the exercise of stock options. To limit the dilutive effect of reserved capital increases, VINCI pursued its share buy-back programme. In the first half of 2013, it purchased 3.5 million shares in the market for a total investment of €124 million at an average price of €35.24 per share. Treasury shares amounted to 7.11% of the total capital at 30 June 2013 (7.12% at 31 December 2012).

As a result of these cash flows, there was a €471 million increase in net financial debt relative to 31 December 2012 (versus a €1,650 million increase in the first half of 2012).

5. Balance sheet and net financial debt

Consolidated non-current assets amounted to €35.1 billion at 30 June 2013 (€35.3 billion at 31 December 2012). They consisted mainly of concession assets (€26.3 billion).

Consolidated capital employed totalled €29.6 billion at 30 June 2013, an increase of €0.1 billion relative to 30 June 2012 and €1.0 billion relative to 31 December 2012, reflecting the seasonal variations in working capital requirement.

The Concessions business accounted for 85% of total capital employed.

Consolidated capital employed totalled €14.4 billion at 30 June 2013, up €0.6 billion relative to the 31 December 2012 figure of €13.8 billion. This figure includes €0.7 billion relating to non-controlling interests.

The number of shares in issue, excluding treasury shares, was 556,192,263 at 30 June 2013 (536,245,294 at 31 December 2012).

Consolidated net financial debt at end-June 2013 was €13.0 billion, up €0.5 billion relative to 31 December 2012 (€12.5 billion), but down €1.2 billion relative to 30 June 2012 (€14.2 billion).

For the Concessions business, including holding companies, net financial debt stood at €17.6 billion, down €0.5 billion relative to 31 December 2012. The Contracting business showed a net cash surplus of €0.9 billion, versus €1.1 billion at 30 June 2012 and €2.1 billion at 31 December 2012. VINCI SA and the other holding companies posted a net financial surplus of €3.9 billion at 30 June 2013, versus €3.5 billion at 31 December 2012.

The ratio of net financial debt to equity was 0.9 at 30 June 2013 (0.9 at 31 December 2012 and 1.09 at 30 June 2012). The ratio of net financial debt to EBITDA on a rolling 12-month basis was 2.4 at 30 June 2013 (2.3 at 31 December 2012 and 2.6 at 30 June 2012).

At end-June 2013, the Group's very high liquidity amounted to €11.9 billion, versus €11.5 billion at end-December 2012 and €10.6 billion at 30 June 2012. This figure comprises €5.5 billion of net cash managed and €6.4 billion of unused confirmed bank credit facilities, including €0.8 billion expiring in 2016, €1.9 billion expiring in 2017 and €3.7 billion expiring in 2018.

A. Seasonal nature of the business

First-half performance is characterised by the seasonal nature of the business in most of the Group's activities, particularly:

roadworks, with lower business volumes than in the second half of the year due to generally less favourable weather conditions;

motorway concession companies, where traffic volumes are lower in the first half than the second because of high levels of light-vehicle traffic in the summer period. In the last few years, first-half revenue has accounted for 46-47% of the full-year total, depending on the network and the year.

As a result, first-half revenue and earnings cannot be extrapolated to the full year.

The seasonality of the Group's business is also reflected in the net use of cash in the first half, which is attributable to the lower level of cash receipts during this period and the pattern of operating cash flows, the majority of which is generated in the second half of the year.

The impact of seasonal factors has not resulted in any adjustment to the Group's half-year consolidated financial statements.

Group income and expenses in respect of ordinary activities that are of a seasonal, cyclical or occasional nature are accounted for using the same accounting methods as those adopted for the full-year financial statements. They are neither brought forward nor deferred at the half-year accounts closing date.

Income and expenses invoiced on an annual basis (e.g. patent and licence fees) are accounted for on a pro rata basis using an estimate for the full year.

Risks arising in the first half are provisioned at the end of the period. As regards loss-making contracts in particular, losses on completion known during the first half are provisioned in full during the period.

B. Accounting policies, measurement methods and change in method

1. General policies

The Group's condensed half-year consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". They were approved by the Board of Directors on 30 July 2013. As these are condensed consolidated financial statements, they do not include all the information required by the IFRSs in relation to full-year financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2012, as set out in the 2012 registration document D.13-0085, filed with the AMF on 27 February 2013.

The accounting policies adopted in preparing and presenting the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements comply with the IFRS standards and interpretations as adopted by the European Union as at 30 June 2013(*).

The accounting policies used at 30 June 2013 are the same as those used in preparing the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2012, except for the standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union mandatorily applicable as from 1 January 2013 (see Note B.1.1 "New standards and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2013").

1.1 New standards and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2013

The impact of the application of IAS 19 Amended from 1 January 2013 is described in Note B.4 (Change in accounting method: application of IAS 19 Amended "Employee Benefits").

The new standards and interpretations mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2013 have no material impact on VINCI's consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2013. They consist mainly of the following:

  • IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement", see Note B.3.2;
  • IAS 1 Amended "Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income";
  • IFRIC 20 "Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine";
  • IFRS 7 Amended "Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities";
  • Annual improvements 2009-2011.

(*) Available on http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_en.htm

1.2 Standards and interpretations adopted by the IASB but not applicable at 30 June 2013

The Group has not applied early the following standards and interpretations of which application was not mandatory at 1 January 2013. Standards on consolidation methods:

  • IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements";
  • IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements";
  • IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities";
  • IAS 27 Revised "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements";
  • IAS 28 Revised "Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures";
  • Amendment to IFRS 10, 11 and 12 on transition guidance.

Other standards and interpretations:

  • IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement";
  • Amendment to IAS 32 "Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities";
  • Amendments to IAS 36 "Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets";
  • IFRIC 21 "Levies".

VINCI is currently analysing the impacts and practical consequences of applying these standards.

2. Consolidation methods

2.1 Consolidation scope and methods

Companies in which the Group holds, whether directly or indirectly, the majority of voting rights enabling control to be exercised, are fully consolidated. Companies that are less than 50% owned but in which VINCI exercises de facto control – i.e. has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities – are consolidated using this same method. This relates mainly to CFE, a Belgian construction group quoted on the Brussels stock exchange, of which VINCI owns 46.84% and over which it has de facto control in view in particular of the widely held nature of that company's shareholder register.

Jointly controlled operations and assets are recognised on the basis of the Group's share of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. This relates mainly to construction operations carried out in partnership, in the form of consortia or undeclared partnerships, in the Contracting business and at VINCI Immobilier.

Companies over which the Group exercises significant influence and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method.

When determining its level of control over an entity, VINCI also analyses any instruments held by the Group or by third parties which, if exercised, could cause the Group to obtain or lose control of the entity concerned.

VINCI's consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all companies with revenue of more than €2 million, and of companies whose revenue is below this figure but whose impact on the Group's financial statements is material.

Number of companies by reporting method

30/06/2013 30/06/2012 31/12/2012
(number of companies) Total France Foreign Total France Foreign Total France Foreign
Controlled companies 2,003 1,219 784 1,943 1,208 735 1,995 1,224 771
Equity method 364 60 304 347 61 286 355 58 297
Total 2,367 1,279 1,088 2,290 1,269 1,021 2,350 1,282 1,068

VINCI did not carry out any material acquisition or disposal in the first half of 2013.

2.2 Intragroup transactions

Reciprocal operations and transactions relating to assets and liabilities, income and expenses between companies that are consolidated or accounted for under the equity method, are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. This is done:

for the full amount if the transaction is between two controlled subsidiaries;

applying the percentage owned of a company accounted for under the equity method in the case of profits or losses realised between a controlled company and a company accounted for under the equity method.

2.3 Translation of the financial statements of foreign companies and establishments

In most cases, the functional currency of companies and establishments is their local currency.

The financial statements of foreign companies of which the functional currency is different from that used in preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements are translated at the closing rate for balance sheet items and at the average rate for the period for income statement items. Any resulting translation differences are recognised under other comprehensive income. Goodwill relating to foreign entities is considered as comprising part of the assets and liabilities acquired and is therefore translated at the exchange rate in force at the balance sheet date.

2.4 Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into euros at the exchange rate at the transaction date. At the balance sheet date, financial assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate. Resulting exchange gains and losses are recognised under foreign exchange gains and losses and are shown under other financial income and other financial expense in the income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on loans denominated in foreign currency or on foreign currency derivative instruments qualifying as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries are recorded under currency translation differences in equity.

2.5 Business combinations

Business combinations completed between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2009 have been recognised applying the provisions of the previous version of IFRS 3.

Business combinations completed from 1 January 2010 onwards have been recognised in accordance with IFRS 3 Revised. This standard has been applied prospectively. It has therefore not affected business combinations made before 1 January 2010.

In application of this revised standard, the Group recognises the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed at their fair value at the dates when control was acquired. The cost of a business combination is the fair value, at the date of exchange, of the assets given, liabilities assumed, and/or equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree. Continent price adjustments are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. From the acquisition date, any subsequent changes to this fair value resulting from events after control was acquired are recognised in profit or loss.

Expenses that are directly attributable to the acquisition, such as professional fees for due diligence and other related fees, are expensed as they are incurred.

Non-controlling interests in the acquiree are measured either at their share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets or at their fair value. This option is applied on a case-by-case basis for each acquisition.

The cost of acquisition is allocated by recognising the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities assumed at their value at that date, except for assets or asset groups classified as held for sale under IFRS 5, which are recognised at their fair value less costs to sell. The positive difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired constitutes goodwill. Where applicable, goodwill can include a portion of the fair value of non-controlling interests if the full goodwill method has been selected.

The Group has 12 months from the date on which control was acquired to finalise the accounting for business combinations.

In the case of a business combination achieved in stages, previously acquired shareholdings in the acquiree are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition of control. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

2.6 Transactions between shareholders, acquisitions and disposals of non-controlling interests after acquisition of control

In accordance with IAS 27 Revised, the acquisitions or disposals of non-controlling interests, with no impact on control, are considered as transactions with the Group's shareholders. The difference between the consideration paid to increase the percentage shareholding in an already controlled entity and the supplementary share of equity thus acquired is recorded under equity attributable to owners of the parent. Similarly, a decrease in the Group's percentage interest in an entity that continues to be controlled is booked in the accounts as a transaction between shareholders, with no impact on profit or loss.

3. Measurement rules and methods

3.1 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements under IFRSs requires estimates to be used and assumptions to be made that affect the amounts shown in those financial statements.

These estimates assume the operation is a going concern and are made on the basis of information available at the time. Estimates may be revised if the circumstances on which they were based alter or if new information becomes available. Actual results may be different from these estimates.

The consequence of the economic and financial crisis in Europe, in particular financial market volatility, access to finance and economic growth, makes it difficult to assess the outlook for business in the medium term. The consolidated half-year financial statements have therefore been prepared with reference to the immediate environment, in particular as regards the estimates given below.

Estimates are used in particular with respect to the following items:

  • measurement of construction contract profit or loss using the stage of completion method;
  • values used in impairment tests;
  • measurement of share-based payment expenses under IFRS 2;
  • measurement of retirement benefit obligations;
  • measurement of provisions;

determination of the discount rates to use when performing impairment tests (IAS 36) and in calculating the present value of provisions (IAS 37) and liabilities relating to employee benefits (IAS 19);

  • measurement of financial instruments at fair value;
  • measurement of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations.

3.2 Measurement of fair value

The Group mainly uses fair value in measuring, on a consistent basis, the derivate instruments, listed available-for-sale financial assets, cash management financial assets and identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations on its balance sheet. The fair value of other financial instruments (particularly debt instruments and loans and receivables at amortised cost) is stated in Note F.19 "Book and fair value of financial instruments by accounting category" of the half-year consolidated financial statements.

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a normal transaction. It is recognised on the basis of the asset or liability's main market (or the most advantageous market if there is no main market), i.e. the one that offers the highest volume and activity levels.

To determine these fair values, the Group uses the following measurement methods:

  • market-based approaches, based on observable market prices or transactions;
  • revenue-based approaches, which convert future cash flows into a single present value;
  • cost-based approaches, which take into account the asset's physical, technological and economic obsolescence.

The following three-level hierarchy of fair values is used:

level 1 – price quoted on an active market. Marketable securities and some available-for-sale financial assets and listed bond issues are measured in this way.

level 2 – internal model using internal measurement techniques with observable factors. These techniques are based on usual mathematical computation methods, which incorporate observable market data (forward prices, yield curves, etc.). The calculation of the fair value of most derivative financial instruments (swaps, caps, floors, etc.) traded on markets is made on the basis of internal models commonly used by market participants to price such financial instruments.

Every quarter, the internally calculated values of derivative instruments are checked for consistency with those sent to us by the counterparties.

level 3 – internal model using non-observable factors. This model applies to customer relationships and contracts acquired through business combinations, as well as to holdings of unlisted shares, which, in the absence of an active market, are measured at their cost of acquisition plus transaction costs.

3.3 Specific measurement rules and methods applied by the Group in preparing the interim financial statements

3.3.1 Estimation of the tax expense

The tax expense for the first half of the year is determined by applying the Group's estimated average tax rate for the whole of 2013 (including deferred tax) to the pre-tax profit. This rate is adjusted if necessary for the tax effects of exceptional items recognised in the period.

3.3.2 Retirement benefit obligations

No new comprehensive actuarial assessment is carried out for the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements. The expense for the half year in respect of retirement benefit obligations is half the expense calculated for 2013 on the basis of the actuarial assumptions at 31 December 2012. Impacts arising from changes in assumptions relating to post-employment benefits in the first half of 2013 (discount rate and long-term inflation rate) are recognised under other comprehensive income.

4. Change in accounting method: application of IAS 19 Amended "Employee Benefits"

Since 1 January 2013, the Group has applied IAS 19 Amended "Employee Benefits", which features several changes in the way that postemployment benefits are recognised, including the following:

all post-employment benefits granted to Group employees must be recognised in the consolidated balance sheet. The Group no longer uses the corridor method or amortises past service cost against income over the average vesting period;

interest income from pension plan assets is now calculated using the discount rate used to calculate obligations with respect to definedbenefit plans;

the impacts of plan amendments must be recognised in income;

impacts of remeasurements must be recognised in other comprehensive income: actuarial gains and losses on the obligation, plan asset outperformance/underperformance (i.e. the difference between the effective return on plan assets and the return calculated using the discount rate applied to the actuarial liability) and changes in the asset capping effect. These impacts are presented in the consolidated comprehensive income statement.

Since IAS 19 Amended "Employee Benefits" applies retrospectively, the impact of this change in accounting method for the 2012 comparison period and on balance sheet figures at 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2012 is set out below.

The impact of IAS 19 Amended on the 2012 consolidated income statement results mainly from:

the removal from operating income from ordinary activities of amortisation of actuarial gains and losses and past service cost;

the recognition within net financial income of interest income from plan assets recalculated using the discount rate of the obligation with respect to defined-benefit plans. The difference between this calculated nominal return and the actual return on plan assets has been recognised under other comprehensive income.

The impact of IAS 19 Amended on equity at 1 January 2012 results mainly from the recognition of previously unrecognised actuarial losses and past service cost, net of deferred tax.

The main impacts of IAS 19 Amended on the opening balance sheet at 1 January 2012 are as follows:

a €148.5 million increase in provisions for retirement benefit obligations and a €53.8 million increase in associated net deferred tax;

a €147.5 million reduction in consolidated equity and a €48.8 million reduction in plan assets.

C. Business combinations

1. Acquisition of ANA

On 21 February 2013, VINCI signed a contract with the Portuguese government to acquire shares in ANA, the holder of a 50-year concession to operate the country's 10 airports: Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Beja on the mainland; Ponta Delgada, Horta, Flores and Santa Maria in the Azores; and Funchal and Porto Santo in Madeira.

ANA handled over 30 million passengers in 2012, of which around 80% were international travellers. Passenger numbers have increased at an annual average of over 4% over the past 10 years. ANA's business includes managing airports and their retail facilities, along with ground handling services. The Lisbon hub is a major asset due to its strategic position on fast-growing routes to Brazil and Portuguese-speaking Africa.

On 11 June 2013, the Group obtained the European competition authorities' approval required to complete the acquisition. The deal with the Portuguese government will complete in the second half of 2013 and will involve a cash payment of €1.2 billion for the ANA shares (including the €100 million downpayment made in February 2013). As part of the transaction, VINCI will also take on ANA's net financial debt, estimated at €1.8 billion.

In 2012, ANA generated revenue of €455 million, operating income of €81 million and net income of €53 million.

2. Acquisitions in the period

Apart from the ANA transaction under way, VINCI did not carry out any material acquisitions in the first half of 2013.

3. Acquisitions in previous periods

The main acquisitions in 2012 (GA Gruppe in Germany by VINCI Energies, NAPC in India and Carmacks in Canada by Eurovia, Geostock by Entrepose Contracting) are described in Note B "Business combinations" in the 2012 registration document D.13-0085, filed with the AMF on 27 February 2013.

In accordance with IFRS 3 Revised, VINCI assessed the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, and determined the related deferred tax effects.

The allocation of the purchase price, based on the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, resulted in goodwill being recognised in the amounts of €188.1 million in respect of GA Gruppe, €57.5 million in respect of NAPC, €20.8 million in respect of Carmacks and €16.8 million in respect of Geostock.

No material adjustments were made during the first half of 2013 to the values allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities on the dates control was acquired.

D. Information by operating segment

5. Financial income and expense

(in € millions) First half 2013 First half 2012 (*) Full year 2012 (*)
Cost of gross financial debt (334.4) (374.8) (726.8)
Financial income from cash investments 39.1 49.2 89.1
Cost of net financial debt (295.4) (325.6) (637.7)
Other financial income 36.7 69.1 111.6
Other financial expense (48.5) (49.6) (135.9)
Other financial income and expense (11.8) 19.6 (24.3)

(*) Amounts adjusted in line with the change in accounting method arising from the application of IAS 19 Amended "Employee Benefits" and described in Note B.4.

The cost of net financial debt amounted to €295.4 million in the first half of 2013 compared with €325.6 million in the first half of 2012, a decrease of €30.2 million. This improvement is due to a €40.4 million reduction in the cost of gross financial debt resulting mainly from lower average rates on debt at floating and capped floating rates.

Income from cash investments was down €10.1 million due to lower short-term rates.

Other financial income includes borrowing costs included in the cost of non-current assets under construction in an amount of €12.9 million in the first half of 2013 (including €12.3 million for the ASF group), compared with €35.7 million in the first half of 2012 (including €35.0 million for the ASF group). The reduction over the first half of 2013 is attributable mainly to the completion and commissioning on 21 January 2013 of the new Balbigny–La Tour de Salvagny section of the A89 motorway.

Other financial expense includes the effects of discounting material assets and liabilities at more than one year to present value for €30.4 million in the first half of 2013 (€42.7 million in the first half of 2012).

The effect of discounting to present value relates mainly to provisions for retirement benefit obligations for €22.7 million (€25.9 million in the first half of 2012) and to provisions for the obligation to maintain the condition of concession assets for €7.3 million (€15.3 million in the first half of 2012).

6. Income tax expense

Tax expense amounted to €384.5 million in the first half of 2013, compared with €392.1 million in the first half of 2012.

The effective tax rate, excluding the Group's share of companies accounted for under the equity method, was 33.9% in the first half of 2013, compared with €32.9% in the first half of 2012.

This increase in the effective tax rate was due in particular to the impact of fiscal measures adopted in France during the second half of 2012, in particular the additional 3% French tax on dividend payments and the limit placed on the tax-deductibility of interest payments.

The effective tax rate is lower than the theoretical French tax rate of 36.1% (standard tax rate plus the exceptional 5% contribution applicable in France in 2012 and 2013), mainly because of taxation at lower rates at some foreign subsidiaries.

7. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, less the weighted average number of treasury shares.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of shares that would have been outstanding had all the potentially dilutive instruments (in particular share subscription or purchase options and performance shares) been converted into shares. Earnings are also adjusted as necessary for changes in income and expenses taken directly to equity resulting from the conversion into shares of all potentially dilutive instruments.

The dilution resulting from the exercise of share subscription and purchase options and from performance shares is determined using the method defined in IAS 33. In accordance with this standard, plans of which the stock market price is greater than the average price during the period are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

The tables below show the reconciliation between basic and diluted earnings per share.

(*) Including capitalised borrowing costs.

Concession intangible assets include assets under construction for €955.2 million at 30 June 2013 (€2,178.6 million at 31 December 2012). These relate mainly to VINCI Autoroutes subsidiaries (€913.6 million including €362.1 million for ASF, €450.6 million for Escota and €100.8 million for Cofiroute). The fall in assets under construction is attributable mainly to the new Balbigny–La Tour de Salvagny section of the A89 between Bordeaux and Lyon coming into service on 21 January 2013.

Investments excluding capitalised borrowing costs amounted to €253.7 million in the first half of 2013 (€441.3 million in the first half of 2012).

On 16 April 2013, VINCI's Board of Directors granted 2,017,030 performance shares to 1,816 employees. Final vesting of the shares is conditional on a performance index. This index has to show an annual average ROCE for 2013 and 2014 of 7% or more for all the performance shares granted to vest definitively (increased to 9% for beneficiaries who are members of the Executive Committee on 16 April 2013). If the index is between 6% and 7% (8% and 9% for Executive Committee members), the number of performance shares finally granted will be reduced in proportion and no shares will be granted if index is equal to or less than 6% (8% for Executive Committee members).

Performance shares only vest definitively after a period of two years. Vesting is subject to beneficiaries being employed by the Group until the end of the vesting period, and to performance conditions.

Fair value of the performance share plans

The fair values of performance share plans have been calculated by an external actuary at the respective grant dates of the shares on the basis of the following characteristics and assumptions:

Plan 2013 plan 2012 plan 2011 plan
Price of VINCI share on date the plan was announced (in €) 35.47 36.37 44.87

14.3 Group savings plans

VINCI's Board of Directors defines the conditions for subscribing to Group savings plans in accordance with the authorisations granted to it by the Shareholders' General Meeting.

Group savings plan – France

In France, VINCI issues new shares reserved for employees three times a year at a subscription price that includes a discount against the average stock market price over 20 trading days. This discount was 10% up to the plan for the third four-month period of 2012, and was reduced to 5% for plans from the first four-month period of 2013. Subscribers benefit from an employer contribution with an annual maximum of €2,500 per person from the first four-month period of 2013. These benefits granted to Group employees are recognised in the income statement and measured in accordance with IFRS 2 using the following assumptions:

  • length of subscription period: four months;
  • length of lock-up period: five years.

The estimated number of shares subscribed at the end of the subscription period is calculated based on a linear regression method applied to historical observations of the plans between 2002 and 2012, taking account of the cost of restrictions on the availability of units in the savings fund.

This opportunity cost is estimated from the point of view of a third party holding a diversified portfolio and prepared to acquire the locked-up shares in return for a discount, which should correspond to the return demanded by the purchaser on capital allocated to hedge against market risk over the five-year lock-up period. Market risk is assessed on an annual basis applying a value-at-risk approach.

Group savings plan – outside France

In the first half of 2013, in accordance with authorisations given to the Board of Directors by the Shareholders' General Meeting and pursuant to a decision taken by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on 20 February 2013, VINCI initiated new savings plans for the employees of certain foreign subsidiaries. Known as Castor International, the plans now cover 19 countries, having been extended in 2013 to five new countries (Austria, Brazil, Chile, Indonesia and Luxembourg) in addition to the 14 already covered in 2012 (Germany, Belgium, Canada, Spain, the United States, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania, the United Kingdom, Slovakia and Switzerland).

The main characteristics of these plans are as follows:

  • purchases of VINCI shares at no discount (through reserved capital increases or purchases in the market);
  • subscription period: four weeks ended 15 May 2013 (seven successive periods between April and October 2013 in the United Kingdom);

employer contribution consisting of bonus shares, with delivery deferred for three years where possible, or with immediate delivery but a three-year vesting period;

no lock-up period beyond the three-year vesting period for bonus shares.

(*) Including term deposits, interest earning accounts and certificates of deposit.

(**) Portion of short-term UCITS that do not meet the criteria to be designated as cash equivalents as defined by IAS 7.

The investment vehicles used by the Group are money market UCITS, interest-bearing accounts, term deposits and negotiable debt securities (certificates of deposit generally with a maturity of less than three months). They are measured and recognised at their fair value.

Net cash is managed with limited risk to capital, and performance and the associated risks are subject to control. The performance and risks associated with these investments are monitored regularly through reports detailing the returns on the various assets on the basis of their fair value and analysing the associated level of risk.

At 30 June 2013, net cash managed at the VINCI holding company level amounted to €3.5 billion. This amount arises mainly from the cash surpluses transferred upwards from French subsidiaries through a cash pooling system. VINCI Finance International, a wholly owned subsidiary of VINCI that centralises the cash surpluses of certain foreign subsidiaries, held cash investments of €0.6 billion at 30 June 2013. This centralisation enables optimised management of the Group's financial resources and effective control of risks relating to the counterparties and investment vehicles used.

Other Group subsidiaries' cash investments are managed in a decentralised manner while complying with the guidelines issued by the Group and the instructions given by VINCI, which define in particular the investment vehicles and the counterparties authorised. At 30 June 2013, they amounted to €1.4 billion, including €1.1 billion for the Contracting business and €0.3 billion for the Concessions business.

The increase in cash management financial assets in the first half of 2013 is due mainly to the acquisition of ANA (see Note G.21.1 "Contractual obligations under concession and PPP contracts").

17.2.3 Revolving credit facilities

VINCI SA has a €4 billion syndicated loan facility maturing in June 2016, which had two one-year extension options at the lenders' discretion. On 23 June 2013, the second request to extend the syndicated loan was accepted by most banks in the pool. The credit facility was extended from June 2016 to June 2017 for €3.8 billion, and from June 2017 to June 2018 for €3.7 billion.

Since July 2012, ASF has had a €1.8 billion syndicated revolving credit facility maturing in July 2017.

Since February 2011, Cofiroute has had a €500 million confirmed club deal bank facility maturing in February 2016.

At 30 June 2013, none of the above credit facilities was being used.

The amounts authorised and used, and the maturities of the credit lines of VINCI and its subsidiaries are as follows:

Maturity
(in € millions) Amounts used at
30/06/2013
Amounts authorised
at 30/06/2013
Within 1 year Between 1 and 5 years After 5 years
VINCI: syndicated loan - 4,000 - 4,000 -
ASF: syndicated loan - 1,785 - 1,785 -
Cofiroute: syndicated loan - 500 - 500 -
Contracting: bilateral facilities 25 105 - 105 -
Total 25 6,390 - 6,390 -

17.2.4 Financial covenants

Some financing agreements involving VINCI and its main subsidiaries include early repayment clauses applicable in the event of noncompliance with financial ratios. The characteristics of the covenants associated with the financing agreements in place at 30 June 2013 remain unchanged relative to 31 December 2012. They are described in Note E.22.2.5 "Financial covenants" in the 2012 registration document D.13-0085, filed with the AMF on 27 February 2013.

The relevant ratios were all met at 30 June 2013.

17.2.5 Credit ratings

At 30 June 2013, the Group's credit ratings were as follows:

Rating
Agency Long term Outlook Short term
VINCI SA Standard & Poor's BBB+ Stable A2
Moody's Baa1 Stable P2
ASF Standard & Poor's BBB+ Stable A2
Moody's Baa1 Stable P2
Cofiroute Standard & Poor's BBB+ Stable A2

18. Financial risk management

The Group's risk management policies and procedures are identical to those described in Note E.23 "Financial risk management" in the 2012 registration document. Transactions to set up or unwind hedging instruments during the first-half period did not materially alter VINCI's exposure to potential financial risks at 30 June 2013. The main risks – interest rate risk, equity risk, credit and counterparty risk – are described in paragraphs 23.1, 23.2, and 23.5 respectively of the 2012 registration document D.13-0085, filed with the AMF on 27 February 2013.

G. Other notes

20. Related party transactions

Related party transactions are mainly transactions with companies over which VINCI exercises significant influence or joint ventures over which VINCI exercises joint control. Transactions with related parties are undertaken at market prices. There was no material change in the first half of 2013 in the nature of transactions conducted by the Group with related parties from those at 31 December 2012, which were referred to in Note G.28 "Related party transactions" and Note E.15 "Investments in companies accounted for under the equity method" in the 2012 registration document number D.13-0085, filed with the AMF on 27 February 2013).

21. Contractual obligations of controlled subsidiaries

21.1 Contractual obligations under concession and PPP contracts

Contractual investment, renewal or financing obligations

Total 3,563.5 3,284.1
Other 39.2 135.3
Société Concessionnaire Aéroports du Grand Ouest 378.6 388.5
VINCI Park 49.9 52.6
Cofiroute 782.1 837.8
ASF/Escota 2,313.7 1,869.9
(in € millions) 30/06/2013 31/12/2012

The above amounts do not include obligations relating to maintenance expenditure on infrastructure under concession.

The contractual obligations of the ASF group include planned investments as part of the 2012-2016 master plan, particularly the relief section on the A9 near Montpellier.

Cofiroute's contractual capital investment obligations comprise mainly the investments provided for under the 2011–2014 master plan.

The investments by motorway concession companies (ASF, Escota, Cofiroute and Arcour) are financed by issuing bonds on the markets, taking out new loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB) or drawing on their available credit facilities.

The above amounts do not include the €1.1 billion investment obligation in respect of the acquisition of ANA (see Note C "Business combinations"). In relation to this obligation, the Group has pledged €1.1 billion to two financial institutions, which have provided a first-demand bank guarantee to secure the payment of the remaining balance due in relation to the purchase of ANA shares from the Portuguese government. Obligations with respect to companies accounted for under the equity method are disclosed in Note F.11.3 "Commitments made in respect of companies accounted for under the equity method".

Collateral security connected with the financing of concession contracts

Some concession operating companies have given collateral securities to guarantee the financing of their investments in concession infrastructure. These break down as follows:

(in € millions) Start date End date Amount
Arcour 2008 2045 600.0
VINCI Park (*) 2006 2026 374.7
Other concession operating companies 107.9

(*) Including shares in subsidiaries pledged to guarantee a bank loan of €500 million taken out at the end of June 2006.

This finance is without recourse against VINCI SA.

21.2 Other contractual obligations

There were no material changes in the first half of 2013 in commitments relating to operating leases or other purchase and investment obligations. These are presented in Note G.29 "Contractual obligations and other commitments made and received" in the 2012 registration document D.13-0085, filed with the AMF on 27 February 2013.

H. Note on litigation

The companies comprising the VINCI Group are sometimes involved in litigation arising from their activities. The related risks are assessed by VINCI and the subsidiaries involved on the basis of their knowledge of the cases, and provisions are taken in consequence.

The main disputes in progress at 30 June 2013 were as follows:

On 12 February 2010, the Conseil Régional d'Ile-de-France – the regional authority for the Greater Paris region – applied to the Paris Court of First Instance (Tribunal de Grande Instance) for a ruling against 15 companies, of which several are members of the VINCI Group, and 11 natural persons, some of whom are or have been VINCI Group employees, ordering them to pay a sum corresponding to the damage it claims to have suffered. The total amount claimed is €232 million plus interest from 7 July 1997. In March 2011, the judge ordered the regional authority to make its claim more precise and divide it into sub-dossiers, one for each contract. In an order dated 31 May 2012, the judge decided to divide the proceedings in order to deal with the defendant's strike-out applications first, and with the substantive issues second, ordering the parties to attend a case management hearing. This application by the regional authority was further to a judgment by the Paris Appeal Court on 27 February 2007 against various natural persons finding them guilty of operating a cartel as well as to the decision on 9 May 2007 by the Conseil de la Concurrence (1) (competition authority) and the ruling of the Paris Court of Appeal of 3 July 2008 imposing penalties on the enterprises for anti-competitive practices between 1991 and 1996 in connection with the programme to renovate secondary educational establishments in the Greater Paris region. At 30 June 2013, the Group continued to treat this risk as a contingent liability that it is not in a position to measure.

King County, the county seat of which is Seattle, Washington, is in dispute with a consortium in which VINCI Construction Grands Projets has a 60% share, the purpose of which is to perform a contract for the construction of two underground tunnels known as Brightwater Central. Because of particularly difficult geotechnical conditions and changes to the initial contract terms, it was not possible to complete the work as set out in the contract, and this resulted in delays and cost overruns. As a result, King County decided to complete one of the tunnels using another company that had a tunnel boring machine using a technology different to that of the tunnel boring machine that the consortium was contractually obliged to use. King County initiated proceedings before the King County Superior Court in Seattle in order to obtain compensation for the cost of completing the work, and for damage that it claims to have suffered. The consortium, meanwhile, is claiming compensation for the cost overruns arising from the work. A hearing took place before a jury which, on 20 December 2012, decided that the consortium should pay \$155 million to King County and that King County should pay \$26 million to the consortium.

The King County Superior Court delivered its judgment on 7 May 2013, formalising the jury's decision. After paying the damages, the consortium appealed against this judgment in the Washington Court of Appeals on 31 May 2013. In view of the current situation, the Group considers that this dispute is unlikely to have a material effect on its financial situation.

SNCF initiated proceedings in the Paris Administrative Court on 14 March 2011 against eight construction companies, including several Group subsidiaries, seeking €59.4 million for damages it claims to have suffered as a result of contracts formed in 1993 relating to the construction of civil engineering structures at the Magenta and Saint Lazare Condorcet railway stations. These proceedings followed a ruling made by the Conseil de la Concurrence (1) on 21 March 2006. In view of the current situation, the Group considers that this dispute will not have a material effect on its financial situation.

The Czech Republic's roads and motorways department (RMD) has made several claims against Eurovia CS, a Eurovia subsidiary based in the Czech Republic, as well as several other non-Group companies. These claims concern works carried out between 2003 and 2007 in building the D47 motorway. In late 2012, the RMD commenced arbitration and legal proceedings challenging (I) the inflation coefficients used in revising the price of works and (II) the payment of various sums for what RMD alleges was defective work affecting the roads and engineering structures that were built. The construction companies are disputing these claims and the extent of the damages sought, which amount to 3.6 billion Czech koruna. Eurovia CS's share of this amount would be 2.5 billion Czech koruna (around €96 million). The Group has decided to treat this risk as a contingent liability that it is not in a position to measure.

(1) Now known as the Autorité de la Concurrence.

On 13 June 2013, the French Rugby Federation (Fédération Française de Rugby or FFR) commenced proceedings against Consortium Stade de France (CSDF) before the Paris Court of First Instance (Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris) on the grounds of "significant contractual imbalance" – in the rights and obligations arising from the 15-year stadium provision agreement signed on 20 April 1995. The FFR claims that, from the outset, this agreement was inherently imbalanced in its structure and formation, and that the imbalance became worse when the contract was performed. The FFR is claiming damages of €164 million, corresponding to the amount it claims was wrongly received by CSDF. Furthermore, the FFR claims that CSDF used the high profile of France's national rugby team to promote and sell its products, through promotions, competitions and the use of the FFR's image, and that this caused the FFR damage amounting to €50 thousands. The FFR is also claiming €756 thousands of damages from the CSDF for the cancellation of the France-Ireland rugby match that was scheduled for 11 February 2012 but postponed to 4 March 2012 after bad weather conditions froze the pitch. The CSDF is contesting all these claims. In view of the current situation, the Group considers that this dispute is unlikely to have a material effect on its financial situation.

The following dispute ended in July 2013:

In March 2010, the Seine Maritime département applied to the Rouen Administrative Court to order Eurovia Haute-Normandie to pay €70.7 million, corresponding to the value of tenders awarded in 1988, 1993 and 1998. The département asked the Court to declare these tenders null and void on the grounds of anti-competitive practices preceding their award. By an order dated 21 June 2012, the chairman of the Conseil d'Etat's disputes division referred the matter to the Orléans Administrative Court. This action by Seine Maritime followed a decision made by the Rouen Court of Appeal on 14 December 2009, confirming a judgment of the Rouen Criminal Court dated 11 September 2008, in which the companies were ordered to pay €4.9 million to compensate for the material damage suffered by the département. These decisions were themselves consecutive to a decision of the Competition Authority (Conseil de la Concurrence (1)) of 15 December 2005 imposing sanctions on six companies, including Eurovia Haute-Normandie, for anti-competitive practices committed between 1991 and 1998 with respect to tenders for the supply and application of bitumen coatings, which was confirmed on appeal by the Paris Court of Appeal on 30 January 2007. This dispute was ended in July 2013 without any material impact on the Group's financial position.

To the Company's knowledge, there are no other disputes or matters submitted to arbitration (including any proceedings known to the Company, pending or with which it is threatened) that are likely to have, or have had in the last 12 months, a material effect on the business, financial performance, net assets or financial situation of the Company or Group.

I. Post-balance sheet event

22. Purchase of additional ADP shares

As part of a disposal by the French government and the FSI (French sovereign investment fund), VINCI purchased 4,643,968 shares in Aéroports de Paris (ADP) on 5 July 2013, representing a 4.7% stake in the company. The purchase price was €78.5 per share, making a total investment of €364.6 million. After this transaction, VINCI owns 8% of ADP.

In accordance with the terms of the transaction, VINCI will be given a seat on ADP's board of directors by the time of the ADP shareholders' meeting convened to vote on the 2013 financial statements.

Report of the Statutory Auditors on the 2013 half-year financial information

Report of the Statutory Auditors on the 2013 halfyear information

Period from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2013 To the Shareholders,

Pursuant to our appointment by your General Meeting and in application of Article L.451-1-2 III of the Monetary and Financial Code, we have performed:

  • a limited review of VINCI SA's condensed half-year consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2013 as attached to this report; and
  • the verification of the information contained in the half-year management report.

These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors in a context of economic and financial crisis in Europe, as described in note B.3.1 to the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements, where the medium-term outlook for business is difficult to assess due to the impacts on financial market volatility, access to financing and economic growth. Our role is to express our conclusion on the financial statements, based on our limited review.

I. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our limited review in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France. A limited review consists mainly of conducting discussions with the members of Management responsible for accounting and financial matters, and carrying out analytical procedures. These procedures are less extensive than those required for an audit performed in accordance with the professional standards applicable in France. In consequence, the assurance obtained through a limited review that the financial statements taken as a whole do not contain material misstatements is a moderate assurance, less than that obtained when performing an audit.

On the basis of our limited review, we have not noted any material misstatements of such a nature to bring into question the compliance of the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements with IAS 34, which is the IFRS standard as adopted in the European Union relating to interim financial reporting. Without qualifying the conclusion expressed above, we draw your attention to Note B.4 to the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements which outlines the effects of the application of the amendments to IAS19 Revised, "Employee Benefits", from January 1, 2013.

II. Specific verification

We have also verified the information contained in the half-year management report commenting on the condensed half-year consolidated financial statements on which we performed our limited review. We have no comments to make as to its fair presentation and conformity with the condensed halfyear consolidated financial statements.

Statement by the person responsible for the halfyear financial report

I certify that, to the best of my knowledge, the condensed half-year financial statements presented in the half-year financial report have been prepared in accordance with the applicable financial reporting standards and that they give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position and results of the operations of the company and of the group formed by the companies included in the consolidated financial statements, and that the management report for the first half-year period (on pages 3 to 12) faithfully presents the important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year, their impact on the half-year financial statements, the main transactions between related parties and a description of the main risks and uncertainties in respect of the remaining six months of the financial year.
