Management report for the first half of 2023

Management report for the first half of 2023

Confirming the positive trend seen in 2022, VINCI's overall performance in the first half of 2023 was of very high quality: in addition to further growth in revenue and earnings, it generated positive free cash flow despite the adverse impact of seasonal variations in its businesses at the start of the year.

In Concessions, VINCI Autoroutes traffic levels continued to rise due to firm momentum in light vehicle traffic, while heavy vehicle traffic fell slightly. At VINCI Airports, passenger numbers continued to rebound, and moved back to pre-pandemic levels outside of Asia. With the integration of OMA in Mexico and by keeping costs under control, it recorded a sharp rise in operating earnings.

VINCI Construction, whose new organisation has now been in place for two years, achieved firm business levels both in France and internationally, and improved its operating margin by being even more selective when taking on new projects.

The Energy business, which is being driven by powerful megatrends related to the energy transition, saw business levels rise sharply, with margins up for both VINCI Energies and Cobra IS.

Order intake was strong in the first half, taking the order book to a record level.

As regards external growth, the main transactions completed since the start of the year have concerned VINCI Energies – with a number of acquisitions in Europe and North America – and VINCI Highways, which bought a stake in a motorway concession in the state of São Paulo in Brazil and took control of the concession operator for the Bogotá-Girardot motorway in Colombia.

This very good start to the year once again demonstrated the strength of the Group's business model, which combines complementary businesses and cycles, along with the remarkable ability of its companies to build local roots and develop their businesses.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, VINCI

VINCI - Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Management report for the first half of 2023

VINCI's financial statements for the first half of 2023 show a sharp increase in revenue and earnings compared with the first half of 2022, along with positive free cash flow.

Consolidated revenue in the first half of 2023 rose by more than 13% to €32.4 billion (organic growth of 11.6%, a 2.6% positive impact from changes in the consolidation scope and a 0.6% negative impact from exchange rate movements). This trend confirms the good momentum in the Group's businesses, both in France and abroad.

Ebitda amounted to €5,309 million (16.4% of revenue), sharply higher than the first-half 2022 figure of €4,526 million (15.9% of revenue).

Operating income from ordinary activities (Ebit) grew strongly to €3,549 million (€2,826 million in the first half of 2022) and equalled 11.0% of revenue (9.9% in the first half of 2022).

Recurring operating income reached €3,393 million (€2,713 million in the first half of 2022), including the impact of share-based payments (IFRS 2), the contribution from companies accounted for under the equity method and other recurring operating items.

Consolidated net income attributable to owners of the parent hit a record €2,089 million and earnings per share¹ amounted to €3.65, up 12.6% and 12.0% respectively compared with the first half of 2022 (€1,855 million and €3.26 per share).

Operating cash flow (before taking account of growth investments in concessions) amounted to €844 million, a clear improvement on the first half of 2022 (€93 million).

After taking into account investments in concessions, free cash flow was an inflow of €261 million, as opposed to an outflow of €281 million in the first half of 2022. This excellent performance was due to growth in Ebitda and the Group's firm grip on the working capital requirement, which allowed it to offset the sharp rise in investments.

Net financial debt at 30 June 2023 was €20.9 billion, down €1.2 billion over 12 months and up €2.4 billion relative to end-2022. The increase relative to the end of 2022 reflects acquisitions made during the period, the payment of the final dividend in respect of 2022 and positive cash flow from transactions involving the share capital (capital increases as part of Group savings plans and share buy-backs).

As regards liquidity, at 30 June 2023, VINCI had net cash of €8.0 billion as well as confirmed credit facilities unused by VINCI SA totalling €10.5 billion, including an €8.0 billion facility due to expire in November 2025 for most of the amount, and another €2.5 billion facility due to expire in July 2023. Given the Group's large amount of available cash, the latter was not renewed.

Order intake in the Energy and Construction businesses totalled €31.2 billion in the first half of 2023, an 18% year-on-year increase.

Overall, the order book reached a record high of €61.5 billion at 30 June 2023, an increase of 7% relative to 31 December 2022 and 9% year on year. It represents more than 13 months of average business activity. International business made up 69% of the order book, as opposed to 68% at 30 June 2022.

1. Highlights of the period

1.1 Main changes in scope

VINCI Concessions

In April 2023, VINCI Highways, subsidiary of VINCI Concessions, acquired an additional stake in Via 40 Express, which holds concessions for sections of the Bogotá-Girardot motorway totalling 141 km until 2046, from its Colombian partner Constructora Conconcreto. By raising its stake from 50% to 75%, VINCI Highways now has a controlling interest in this company. The company was previously accounted for under the equity method but is now fully consolidated in the Group's financial statements.

In May 2023, VINCI Highways completed the acquisition of a 55% stake in Entrevías, which holds concessions for two toll motorway sections in Brazil until 2047, from Brazilian investment firm Pátria Investimentos. These two sections cover a total distance of 570 km in São Paulo state. The VINCI Group has joint control over Entrevías, which is therefore accounted for under the equity method in the Group's financial statements.

VINCI Energies

During the first half, VINCI Energies acquired 14 companies representing additional full-year revenue of around €280 million. They included Otera AS, which designs, builds and maintains electricity transmission and distribution networks, road infrastructure and tunnels in Norway; Avanceon LLC, based in Pennsylvania (United States), specialising in systems integration and industrial automation; Elecsco, a Quebec-based company specialising in electrical systems and instrumentation for infrastructure and industry; French railway signalling group SITS; and Methalac, which specialises in the design, construction, maintenance and monitoring of anaerobic digesters in France.

These transactions are mentioned in Note A.2 to the consolidated financial statements ("Changes in consolidation scope during the period").

1.2 Contract wins in the Energy and Construction businesses

Order intake in the Energy and Construction businesses totalled €31.2 billion in the first half of 2023, an 18% year-on-year increase. Order intake at VINCI Energies (€11.1 billion in the first half of 2023, up 21% compared with the first half of 2022) hit a new record on a rolling 12-month basis. Order intake at Cobra IS was €5.3 billion (up 64%), driven by large contracts for renewable energy production projects, including a contract worth over €2 billion, won in January 2023, to design, build and install two offshore windfarm energy converter platforms in the North Sea with total capacity of 4 GW. At VINCI Construction, order intake also rose, buoyed by solid flow business (up 6% to €14.9 billion).

Among the contracts won by the Group since the start of the year, the most significant have been those listed below.

VINCI Energies

  • Design-build contract, as part of a consortium with VINCI Construction, for two onshore power converter stations on a new electrical interconnection between France and Spain on behalf of Inelfe, a joint venture between the Spanish power grid operator (Red Eléctrica) and its French counterpart (RTE).

  • Contract to build a 10 km road and 12 bridges as part of the northern bypass of the city of Prešov, Slovakia.²
  • Two major new road projects in New South Wales, Australia: a 5 km section of the M1 Pacific Motorway near the city of Heatherbrae and a 6.5 km section of the Mulgoa Road, a key access road in Greater Sydney.
  • Design-build-operate-maintain contract for the future police station in the city of Nice, France.
  • Civil engineering contract for a new wastewater treatment plant in Nice.²
  • Contract to build infrastructure for Meridian Water, an urban regeneration project in Enfield (Greater London).²

1.3 Financing activities

New financing

In January, ASF (Autoroutes du Sud de la France) issued €700 million of bonds due to mature in January 2033 with a coupon of 3.25%.

In April, VINCI Highways finalised long-term funding for concession company Via 40 Express in an amount of 2,675 Colombian pesos (€535 million). This was one of the largest funding transactions ever carried out in the Colombian infrastructure sector.

In May, VINCI SA carried out a €500 million private placement of bonds due to mature in February 2025 with a coupon of 3.375%.

Debt repayments

ASF repaid three bond issues with a total principal amount of €0.8 billion in the first-half period.

At 30 June 2023, the Group's gross long-term financial debt, before taking into account net cash, totalled €28.9 billion. The debt is mainly held by VINCI Autoroutes, VINCI Airports and VINCI SA. Its average maturity was 6.7 years at 30 June 2023 (6.9 years at 30 June 2022 and 31 December 2022) and its average cost was 3.0%³ (2.1% in the first half of 2022 and 2.5% in full-year 2022).

Credit ratings

  • VINCI SA: in March 2023, rating agency Standard & Poor's reiterated its confidence in the Group's credit quality by affirming its A- long-term and A2 short-term ratings, both with stable outlook. Ratings awarded to VINCI SA by Moody's (A3 long-term and P-2 short-term, with stable outlook) were also confirmed in July 2023.
  • ASF and Cofiroute: in June 2023, Standard & Poor's confirmed its A- long-term ratings with stable outlook for both companies.

² These contracts are not included in the Group's order book at 30 June 2023.
³ Average cost increased to 4.2% excluding the positive and non-recurring impact of 167 million euros related to the restructuring of the debt for the acquisition of London Gatwick airport.


Management report for the first half of 2023

1.4 Other highlights

Partnership to develop hydrogen mobility

In January 2023, VINCI Concessions completed an investment in Hype, France's first integrated hydrogen mobility platform and the operator of a hydrogen taxi fleet. Alongside this investment, VINCI Concessions and Hype have entered into a strategic partnership to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen mobility infrastructure in France and around the world.

As part of this partnership, Hype will task VINCI Energies with building new hydrogen production and distribution infrastructure in the Greater Paris area.

Decarbonising road transport

A consortium led by VINCI Autoroutes, with other partners including VINCI Construction, launched a new initiative to help decarbonise road transport. On the A10 motorway in France, two dynamic charging solutions, primarily for heavy electric vehicles – one using inductive charging and the other using conductive rail charging – will be trialled on two 2 km sections over a period of three years.

2. Revenue

Consolidated revenue in the first half of 2023 totalled €32.4 billion, up 13.5% on an actual basis and up 11.6% on a like-for-like basis relative to the first half of 2022. Changes in scope boosted revenue by 2.6%. Exchange rate movements had a negative impact of 0.6% on revenue, because the euro rose against several currencies including sterling.

Concessions revenue totalled €5.0 billion, up 20.1% on an actual basis (up 12.8% on a like-for-like basis).

Revenue in the Energy business (VINCI Energies and Cobra IS) amounted to €12.2 billion, up 16.9% compared with the first half of 2022 (up 13.4% on a like-for-like basis).

Revenue in the Construction business totalled €14.9 billion, up 10.9% on the first half of 2022 (up 11.7% on a like-for-like basis).

In France, revenue totalled €14.4 billion, up 6.8% on an actual basis (up 6.6% at constant scope) compared with the first half of 2022. Organic growth was 6.2% in Concessions, 12.6% in Energy and 6.8% in Construction.

Outside France, revenue was €18.0 billion, up 19.5% on an actual basis and up 16.0% on a like-for-like basis. Changes in scope mainly concern the integration of OMA – a concession company that operates 13 airports in Mexico, including Monterrey airport – in which VINCI Airports acquired a 29.99% stake in December 2022, along with recent acquisitions made by VINCI Energies, including Kontron AG's IT services business (acquired in late 2022) and Otera AS in Norway (acquired in early 2023). Exchange rate movements had a slightly negative impact on revenue, because the euro rose against several currencies including sterling. Organic growth was 31.2% in Concessions, 13.8% in Energy and 16.3% in Construction. International business accounted for almost 56% of total revenue, as opposed to 53% in the year-earlier period.

Interim financial report at 30 June 2023 - VINCI


Management report for the first half of 2023

CONCESSIONS: €4,998 million (up 20.1% actual and up 12.8% like-for-like compared with the first half of 2022)

VINCI Autoroutes: revenue equalled €2,971 million, up 5.5% on the first half of 2022. Intercity traffic levels were up 2.2%. Light vehicle traffic was up 2.8% during the first half, while heavy vehicle traffic was down 1.2%. Differing calendar effects – positive for light vehicle traffic, as a result of several additional long weekends, and negative for heavy vehicle traffic because there was one fewer business day in the first half of 2023 than in the year-earlier period – are reflected in these results, but the underlying trends remain favourable overall.

VINCI Airports: revenue totalled €1,781 million (€1,126 million in the first half of 2022). Compared with the first half of 2019 – the pre-pandemic baseline year – revenue was up 8% at constant scope. The upturn in VINCI Airports passenger numbers continued in 2023, underpinned by strong demand, an increase in supply in terms of seats offered by airlines, and the opening of new routes. Several airports operated by VINCI Airports – those in Portugal, Mexico and the Dominican Republic as well as Belgrade airport in Serbia – even achieved record passenger numbers, beating their 2019 levels.

Overall, the network's airports handled 123 million passengers in the first half of 2023, 36% more than in the first half of 2022. This equalled 91% of the figure seen in the first half of 2019 across all airports in the network, despite the slower recovery in Asia (96% for fully consolidated subsidiaries).

Other concessions: revenue totalled €246 million, up 12% on the first half of 2022 and up 8% like-for-like. The main revenue contributors were Lima Express (which holds the concession for a section of the Lima ring road in Peru), Gefyra (which holds the concession for the bridge between Rion and Antirion in Greece), VINCI Stadium, and MESEA (the company in charge of maintaining and operating the South Europe Atlantic high-speed rail line between Tours and Bordeaux).

VINCI Energies: €9,122 million (up 17.6% actual and up 13.0% like-for-like compared with the first half of 2022)

The business line's strong momentum reflects the excellent positions of its companies in buoyant markets, contributing to the energy and digital transitions, both in France and internationally, along with their broad array of skills and their effective combination of global reach and local presence. All four of VINCI Energies' business areas (infrastructure, industry, building solutions and ICT⁴) achieved double-digit growth. Recent acquisitions⁵ also boosted revenue by around €380 million in the first half.

In France (44% of the total), revenue was €3,990 million, up 13.2% on an actual basis and up 12.6% on a like-for-like basis relative to the first half of 2022. There was firm growth in all business areas and particularly in building solutions (tertiary sector, facilities management).

Outside France (56% of the total), revenue was €5,131 million, up 21.3% on an actual basis and up 13.4% on a like-for-like basis relative to the first half of 2022. Business growth remained very strong in most regions and countries in which VINCI Energies has operations, particularly in Germany, the Benelux countries, North America, Morocco, Singapore and New Zealand.

Cobra IS: €3,061 million (up 14.8% actual and up 14.4% like-for-like compared with the first half of 2022)

Revenue is being driven by the ramp-up of large EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) projects mostly related to the energy transition. Cobra IS has also seen good momentum in its flow business, in both Europe and Latin America. In Spain (47% of the total), revenue rose by 17% to €1.4 billion. Outside Spain (53% of the total, of which 32% in Latin America), revenue totalled €1.6 billion, up 12.7% on an actual basis and up 12.1% on a like-for-like basis.

VINCI Construction: €14,914 million (up 10.9% actual and up 11.7% like-for-like compared with the first half of 2022)

In France (46% of the total), revenue was €6,824 million, up 6.8% on both an actual and like-for-like basis relative to the first half of 2022. Business levels remained firm in the infrastructure segment. In the building segment, business was driven by rehabilitation projects in the residential sector and by the construction of public buildings, particularly in the hospital sector.

Outside France (54% of the total), revenue reached €8,090 million, up 14.5% on an actual basis and up 16.3% on a like-for-like basis relative to the first half of 2022. This reflects progress with several large civil engineering contracts in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, along with solid business levels in Speciality Networks and Proximity Networks.

VINCI Immobilier: €560 million (down 23% actual and like-for-like compared with the first half of 2022)

Revenue, including the Group's share of joint developments, fell 20% year on year to €654 million in the first half of 2023. In addition to a high base for comparison, VINCI Immobilier suffered from challenging conditions in the real estate sector in France against a backdrop of high interest rates.

In France, 1,772 housing units were reserved, down 36% compared with the first half of 2022. Work began on 1,365 homes, a decrease of 32% relative to the first half of 2022, and there were 1,673 completed residential sales, also down 32%.

Reminder: The financial statements for the first half of 2022 have been adjusted for the effects of the final purchase price allocation for Cobra IS.

The contribution of the Concessions business was €2,447 million (49.0% of revenue), up almost 29% compared with the first-half 2022 figure of €1,899 million (45.6% of revenue).

At VINCI Autoroutes, Ebit totalled €1,640 million, equal to 55.2% of revenue. It was almost 11% higher than in the first half of 2022 (€1,482 million, 52.6% of revenue).

Interim financial report at 30 June 2023 - VINCI


Management report for the first half of 2023

At VINCI Airports, Ebit was €780 million. This represents an increase of 105% or €400 million compared with the first half of 2022 (€380 million). The change reflects higher revenue, firm control of operational costs and the integration of OMA in Mexico. Ebit margin was 43.8% in the first half of 2023 as opposed to 33.8% in the first half of 2022.

At VINCI Energies, Ebit was €623 million and Ebit margin rose to 6.8%, 30 bps more than in the first half of 2022 (€507 million and 6.5%). All business activities and regions contributed to this very solid performance.

At Cobra IS, Ebit was €230 million in the first half of 2023 and Ebit margin was 7.5% (€190 million and 7.1% respectively in the first half of 2022), as a result of business growth.

VINCI Construction posted Ebit of €299 million (€254 million in the first half of 2022), equal to 2.0% of revenue (1.9% in the first half of 2022). As certain activities and regions experience considerable seasonal variations that affect coverage of overheads, Ebit margin from the first half of the year is not representative of expected full-year performance in this business line.

VINCI Immobilier made a loss of €16 million at the Ebit level and Ebit margin was negative 2.8%, as opposed to positive Ebit of €28 million (3.8% of revenue) in the first half of 2022.

The Ebit of holding companies included the amortisation of intangible assets recognised when allocating the Cobra IS purchase price in an amount of €64 million in the first-half periods of 2022 and 2023.

Recurring operating income totalled €3,393 million (€2,713 million in the first half of 2022). This factors in:

  • the share-based payment expense, which reflects the benefits granted to employees under the Group savings plans and performance share plans, amounting to €260 million (€138 million in the first half of 2022), with the change resulting mainly from new assumptions used to measure the expense relating to savings plans in France;
  • the €63 million contribution from equity-accounted companies (€34 million in the first half of 2022);
  • other recurring operating items producing net income of €41 million (compared with a €9 million net expense in the first half of 2022).

(*) Excluding concession subsidiaries' revenue derived from works carried out by non-Group companies.

Non-recurring operating items had a positive impact of €17 million in the first half of 2023, mainly due to the impact of VINCI Highways taking control of Via 40 Express in Colombia (see "Highlights of the period" above).

After taking account of both recurring and non-recurring items, operating income was €3,410 million in the first half of 2023, up 23% relative to the first-half 2022 figure of €2,767 million.

3.2 Net income

Consolidated net income attributable to owners of the parent amounted to €2,089 million, equal to 6.5% of revenue, in the first half of 2023. This represents a 12.6% increase relative to the first half of 2022 (€1,855 million adjusted for the amortisation of Cobra IS intangible assets following the allocation of the purchase price, equal to 6.5% of revenue).

Earnings per share, after taking account of dilutive instruments, amounted to €3.65, up 12.0% compared with the first half of 2022 (€3.26).

The cost of net financial debt was €340 million (€265 million in the first half of 2022). The higher return on cash investments and the positive impact of a transaction to unwind interest rate swaps related to the London Gatwick airport acquisition debt partly offset the effect of sharply higher interest rates on the Group's floating rate debt and the impact of the financing of acquisitions outside France, particularly in the Concessions

business.

In the first half of 2023, the average interest rate on long-term gross financial debt was 3.0% (2.1% in the first half of 2022 and 2.5% in full-year 2022).

Other financial income and expense resulted in a net expense of €16 million compared with an income of €124 million in the first half of 2022, and included:

  • an expense of €38 million related to the cost of discounting provisions for the obligation to maintain the condition of concession intangible assets and retirement benefit obligations (income of €43 million in the first half of 2022, following the sharp rise in projected interest rates);
  • a €38 million gain relating to capitalised borrowing costs on current concession investments (€11 million in the first half of 2022);
  • IFRS 16 lease expenses amounting to €30 million (€23 million in the first half of 2022);
  • an interest expense of €38 million on long-term advances received (nil in 2022);
  • a €53 million positive impact from the change in fair value of equity instruments, mainly regarding the stake in Groupe ADP (€59 million in the first half of 2022).

The Group's tax expense was €816 million, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 27.3%, as opposed to €741 million and 28.6% respectively in the first half of 2022. The increase reflects the Group's higher pre-tax income.

Income attributable to non-controlling interests totalled €148 million (€30 million in the first half of 2022), mainly relating to London Gatwick airport and Mexican airport operator OMA.

The change in the operating working capital requirement and current provisions – which usually have a negative impact on the cash position in the first half of the year due to seasonal variations in business levels in the Energy and Construction businesses – consumed €1,952 million of cash in the first half of 2023, much less than in the first half of 2022 (€2,581 million).

Income taxes paid rose by €431 million to €1,202 million (€771 million in the first half of 2022).

Net interest paid totalled €313 million in the first half of 2023, up €40 million on the first half of 2022 (€273 million).

VINCI – Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Management report for the first half of 2023

Free cash flow⁷ was an inflow of €261 million, compared with an outflow of €281 million in the first half of 2022. This figure breaks down into:

  • a net inflow of €1,649 million in Concessions (€1,651 million in the first half of 2022), of which €1,224 at VINCI Autoroutes and €357 million at VINCI Airports;
  • a net outflow of €27 million at VINCI Energies (€247 million outflow in the first half 2022);
  • a net outflow of €193 million at Cobra IS (€265 million outflow in the first half of 2022);
  • a net outflow of €1,196 million at VINCI Construction (€1,355 million outflow in the first half 2022).

It should be borne in mind that most of the Group's free cash flow is generated in the second half of the year.

Financial investments, net of disposals, totalled around €676 million, mainly relating to acquisitions made by VINCI Energies and, at VINCI Highways, the deal to take control of Vía 40 Express in Colombia and the acquisition of a 55% stake in Entrevías in Brazil. In the first half of 2022, they represented an outflow of €750 million.

Transactions involving VINCI's capital generated a cash inflow of €322 million as opposed to an outflow of €527 million in the first half of 2022. They included €250 million of VINCI shares purchased in the market (2.4 million shares purchased at an average price of €104.22 per share) as part of the share buy-back programme, and €570 million of capital increases at VINCI SA in relation to Group savings plans (7.0 million shares created).

Dividends paid by the Group in the first half of 2022 amounted to €1,839 million (€1,298 million in the first half of 2022), including €1,693 million paid by VINCI in respect of the 2022 final dividend (€3.00 per share).

As a result of these cash flows, net financial debt increased by €2.4 billion in the first half of the year, taking the total to €20.9 billion at 30 June 2023.

5. Balance sheet and net financial debt

Consolidated non-current assets at 30 June 2023 was €67.2 billion (€61.5 billion at 30 June 2022; €65.5 billion at 31 December 2022), including €44.1 billion in the Concessions business (€40.6 billion at 30 June 2022 and €42.9 billion at 31 December 2022), €8.3 billion at VINCI Energies (€8.2 billion at 31 December 2022), €7.1 billion at Cobra IS (€6.9 million at 31 December 2022) and €6.5 billion at VINCI Construction (€6.5 billion at 31 December 2022). The increase in the first half of 2023 mainly related to VINCI Concessions and VINCI Energies.

After taking account of a net working capital surplus, attributable mainly to VINCI Energies, Cobra IS and VINCI Construction, of almost €11.0 billion – down €2.1 billion relative to the 31 December 2022 figure of €13.1 billion and up more than €2.3 billion compared with the 30 June 2022 figure of €8.6 billion – capital employed was €56.3 billion at 30 June 2023 (€52.8 billion at 30 June 2022 and €52.5 billion at 31 December 2022).

Capital employed in the Concessions business amounted to €41.9 billion, accounting for 74% of the total (74% at 30 June 2022 and 77% at 31 December 2022).

Equity totalled €30.8 billion at 30 June 2023, up €4.7 billion on 30 June 2022 (€26.1 billion) and up €1.4 billion on 31 December 2022 (€29.4 billion). It includes €3.8 billion relating to non-controlling interests (€1.9 billion at 30 June 2022 and €3.5 billion at 31 December 2022), mainly concerning London Gatwick airport and Mexican airport operator OMA.

The number of shares was 596,431,645 at 30 June 2023 (589,387,330 at 31 December 2022). Treasury shares amounted to 4.4% of the total capital at 30 June 2023 (4.4% at 31 December 2022).

Net financial debt was €20.9 billion at 30 June 2023, down €1.2 billion over 12 months (€22.1 billion at 30 June 2022) and up €2.4 billion relative to 31 December 2022 (€18.5 billion). That figure reflects long-term gross financial debt of €28.9 billion (€27.8 billion at 31 December 2022) and managed net cash of €8.0 billion (€9.2 billion at 31 December 2022).

For the Concessions business, including its holding companies, net financial debt stood at €30.0 billion, down almost €1.8 billion relative to 31 December 2022 (€31.7 billion), after VINCI SA subscribed to a €1.6 billion capital increase by VINCI Concessions. VINCI Energies, Cobra IS and VINCI Construction showed a net financial surplus of €1.7 billion as opposed to €1.4 billion at 30 June 2022 and €3.7 billion at 31 December 2022. Holding companies and other activities showed a net financial surplus of €7.4 billion (€9.5 billion at 31 December 2022). Of that surplus, €12.9 billion consisted of the net balance of loans granted to Group subsidiaries and investments made by the latter within the Group.

The ratio of net financial debt to equity was 0.7 at 30 June 2023 (0.6 at 31 December 2022). The ratio of net financial debt to Ebitda on a rolling 12-month basis was 1.9 at end-June 2023 (2.4 at end-June 2022 and 1.8 at 31 December 2022).

Group liquidity totalled €18.5 billion at 30 June 2023 (€14.0 billion at 30 June 2022 and €19.7 billion at 31 December 2022). It comprises €8.0 billion of managed net cash and €10.5 billion of confirmed credit facilities unused by VINCI SA, including an €8.0 billion facility due to expire in November 2025 for almost all of this amount (€7.7 billion) and a €2.5 billion facility due to expire in July 2023. Given the Group's large amount of available cash, the latter was not renewed.

7. Post-balance sheet events and outlook

7.1 Post-balance sheet events

Grand Paris Express

In July 2023, the Intencités15 consortium, including several subsidiaries of VINCI Construction and VINCI Energies, won the first design-build contract as part of the Grand Paris Express project, relating to a section of Line 15 West. It will be located in a very dense urban area, connecting the stations of Pont de Sèvres and La Défense to the west of Paris. The contract is worth more than €2.7 billion, of which around 72% relates to work to be done by Group companies, and includes turnkey engineering and construction of 14 km of tunnels and five stations.

Entry into service of the Belmonte solar farm in Brazil

The 570 MW Belmonte solar farm in the Nordeste region of Brazil developed by Cobra IS entered into service end of July.

Work on new projects involving photovoltaic facilities in Spain and Brazil, with combined capacity of around 1.4 GW, is likely to begin in the next few months.

VINCI - Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Management report for the first half of 2023

VINCI Airports

In July, VINCI Airports and its Portuguese subsidiary ANA finalised the 40-year concession contract to operate all seven airports in Cabo Verde islands, which handled 2.8 million passengers in 2019.

Financing activities

In July, VINCI SA carried out a €100 million tap issue of bonds originally issued in October 2022 and due to mature in October 2032.

7.2 Outlook

Given the good performance delivered in the first half of 2023, VINCI is reaffirming the guidance provided in February, upon the publication of the Group's 2022 financial statements.

Barring exceptional events, the Group confirms that in 2023 it is expecting:

  • a further increase - although more limited than in 2022 - in revenue and operating income;
  • a net income slightly higher than the level achieved in 2022, despite a substantial increase in financial costs.
  • a free cash-flow – taking into account the increase in investments in both airports and renewable energy – at the upper end of the range of €4.0 billion to €4.5 billion previously indicated.

2023 forecasts for each business line are as follows:

  • Over the full year, VINCI Autoroutes expects traffic levels to be similar to those seen in 2022.
  • VINCI Airports is forecasting a further recovery in passenger numbers – without returning to their 2019 level overall in 2023, because the rebound has been longer to materialize in Asia – and a further improvement in its operating earnings.
  • VINCI Energies should see further business growth, driven by continuing positive trends in its markets and the integration of recent acquisitions, while solidifying its operating margin.
  • Cobra IS, supported by its robust order book, is expecting revenue growth of at least 10%, driven by the ramp-up of the large EPC projects won recently and good momentum in its flow business.
  • New projects will be added to the renewable energy production portfolio, taking total capacity in operation or under construction to at least 2 GW by the end of the year.
  • VINCI Construction should see further business growth while remaining selective in taking on new business, thereby continuing to improve its operating margin.

This guidance may be fine-tuned as part of the quarterly information at 30 September 2023, particularly depending on VINCI Autoroutes traffic levels and VINCI Airports passenger numbers during the summer.

Assessment of financial performance

VINCI's financial statements for the first half of 2023 show a sharp increase in revenue and earnings compared with the first half of 2022, along with positive free cash flow.

  • Consolidated revenue totalled €32.4 billion, up 13.5% relative to the first half of 2022, including organic growth of 11.6%.
  • Operating income from ordinary activities rose sharply, coming in up 25% at €3,549 million, equal to 11.0% of revenue (9.9% in the first half of 2022).
  • Recurring operating income reached €3,393 million (€2,713 million in the first half of 2022), including the impact of share-based payments (IFRS 2), the contribution from companies accounted for under the equity method and other recurring operating items.
  • Consolidated net income attributable to owners of the parent amounted to €2,089 million (€1,855 million in the first half of 2022).
  • Net financial debt was €20.9 billion at 30 June 2023, up €2.4 billion relative to 31 December 2022 and down €1.2 billion over 12 months.

The management report contains information on the operating performance of the Group's various business lines.

Financing transactions and liquidity management

The main financing transactions concerned VINCI and ASF and are presented in Note I, "Financing and financial risk management".

VINCI has total liquidity of €18.5 billion, comprising:

  • managed net cash of €8.0 billion;
  • an €8.0 billion confirmed credit facility unused by VINCI SA, of which €7.7 billion is due to expire in November 2025 and another of €2.5 billion due to expire in July 2023. Considering the level of cash, this last credit facility was not renewed.

2. Changes in consolidation scope

The main changes in consolidation scope in the first half of 2023 are detailed below.

VINCI Highways

  • Via 40 Express: On 19 April 2023, VINCI Highways acquired an additional stake in Via 40 Express, which holds the concession for the Bogotá-Girardot motorway (141 km) until 2046, from its Colombian partner Constructora Conconcreto. Having raised its stake from 50% to 75%, VINCI Highways now has a controlling interest in this company. The company was previously accounted for under the equity method but is now fully consolidated in the Group's financial statements.
  • Entrevias: On 11 May 2023, VINCI Highways completed the acquisition of a 55% stake in Entrevias, which holds the concession for two toll motorway sections in Brazil until 2047, from Brazilian investment firm Pátria Investimentos. These two sections cover a total distance of 570 km in São Paulo state.

VINCI Highways is entitled to appoint three of the six members of Entrevias's Board of Directors, which takes strategic decisions by voting on a simple majority basis. VINCI therefore has joint control over Entrevias and accounts for it under the equity method. The Group also has a call option over the shares held by non-controlling interests, which can only be exercised in 2027. The analysis regarding VINCI's control of Entrevias may be reviewed at that time.

Work to allocate the purchase prices of the stakes in Via 40 Express and Entrevias was ongoing at 30 June 2023.

Other acquisitions

During the first half of 2023, VINCI Energies acquired 14 companies, mainly in Europe, while VINCI Construction made five acquisitions, including two in North America, two in France and one in the United Kingdom.

Other changes relate mainly to legal restructuring within the Group.

Acquisition of a 29.99% stake in Mexican airport operator OMA

On 7 December 2022, VINCI Airports completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Seta and Aerodrome. These two companies together indirectly held a 29.99% stake in OMA, which operates 13 airports in Mexico. In the first half of 2023, the Group continued to measure the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree. The allocation of the purchase price will be completed in the second half of 2023.

Acquisition of most of Kontron AG's IT services business

On 29 December 2022, VINCI Energies acquired most of Kontron AG's IT services business in Germany, Switzerland and eight countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The final price for the transaction is €395 million. In the first half of 2023, the Group measured the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at their fair value and allocated the purchase price. The final goodwill amount is €315 million and has been allocated to the cash-generating units (CGUs) concerned (see Note E.9, "Goodwill").

Other acquisitions and transactions

Other changes in 2022 mainly concerned:

  • transactions by VINCI Highways to take control of TollPlus LLC and Strait Crossing Development Inc. (SCDI), which were previously accounted for under the equity method;
  • VINCI Airports' sale of Stockholm Skavsta airport;
  • the demerger of DEME from its parent company CFE.

For all these acquisitions, VINCI measured the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquirees at their fair value in accordance with IFRS 3.

B. Accounting policies, consolidation methods, measurement methods and specific arrangements

1. Accounting policies

The accounting policies used at 30 June 2023 are consistent with those used in preparing the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2022, except for the standards and/or amendments adopted by the European Union and mandatorily applicable as from 1 January 2023 (1).

The Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements at 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". They were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 July 2023. As these are condensed consolidated financial statements, they do not include all the information required by 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 2022, as set out in the 2022 Universal Registration Document filed with the AMF on 28 February 2023 under the number D.23-0065.

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euros, rounded to the nearest million. This may in certain circumstances lead to non-material differences between the sum of the figures and the subtotals that appear in the tables.

New standards, amendments and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2023

New standards, amendments and interpretations mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2023 have no material impact on VINCI's consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2023. They include mainly:

  • IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts", which establishes principles for the recognition, measurement presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts;
  • Amendments to IAS 12 – "Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction", which introduce an exception to the initial recognition exemption for transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences;
  • Amendments to IAS 8 – "Definition of Accounting Estimates", which clarify the differences between accounting policies and accounting estimates. The latter are now defined as "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty".

New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the IASB but not yet applicable at 30 June 2023

The Group has not applied early the following amendments to standards that could concern the Group and were not mandatorily applicable at 1 January 2023:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 – "Non-current Liabilities with Covenants";
  • Amendments to IAS 16 – "Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback";
  • Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – "Supplier Finance Arrangements".

A study of the impacts and practical consequences of applying the above amendments is under way. However, they do not contain any provisions that are contrary to the Group's current accounting practices.

  • Amendments to IAS 12 – "International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules", which introduce a mandatory and temporary exception to the recognition of deferred tax associated with the Pillar Two tax reform, but had not been endorsed in the European Union at 30 June 2023. Based on preliminary work done, the Group does not at this stage expect this reform to have any material impact on its financial statements.

French pension reforms

Law 2023-270 on the reform of French social security financing, which was enacted on 15 April 2023, gradually increases the statutory retirement age in France from 1 September 2023, so that it will reach 64 in 2030, and accelerates the application of the 2014 Touraine law by increasing the contribution period to 43 years from 2027 instead of 2035. The impact of this change to the pension system is currently being measured by the Group and will be recognised in the second half of 2023. Based on initial estimates involving a sample of entities concerned by the reform, the Group expects a limited decrease in its retirement benefit obligations.

VINCI – Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

2. Consolidation methods

In accordance with IFRS 10, companies in which the Group holds, whether directly or indirectly, the majority of voting rights in shareholders' general meetings, in the boards of directors or in the equivalent management bodies, giving it the power to direct their operational and financial policies, are deemed to be controlled and are fully consolidated. To determine control, VINCI carries out an in-depth analysis of the established governance arrangements and of the rights held by other shareholders.

Where necessary, an analysis is performed in relation to instruments held by the Group or by third parties (potential voting rights, dilutive instruments, convertible instruments, etc.) that, if exercised, could alter the type of influence exerted by each party.

For some infrastructure project companies operating under public-private partnership (PPP) contracts and in which VINCI is not the only capital investor, in addition to the analysis of the governance arrangements with each partner, the Group may look at the characteristics of subcontracting contracts to check that they do not confer additional powers that could lead to a situation of de facto control. This generally concerns construction contracts and contracts to operate/maintain concession assets. An analysis is performed if a specific event takes place that may affect the level of control exerted by the Group, such as a change in an entity's ownership structure or governance, or the exercise of a dilutive financial instrument.

In accordance with IFRS 11, the Group's joint arrangements fall into two categories (joint operations and joint ventures) depending on the nature of the rights and obligations held by each party. Classification is generally determined by the legal form of the project vehicle. The Group has joint control over all of these joint arrangements.

Joint operations: most joint arrangements in the VINCI Energies and VINCI Construction business lines are joint operations because of the legal form of the vehicles used. In France, for example, parties generally use sociétés en participation (SEPs) to contractualise their joint works activities. In some situations, where the facts and circumstances show that a company's activities involve providing services to the parties to the joint arrangement, it is regarded as a joint operation even where the vehicle's legal form does not establish transparency between the joint operators' assets and those of the joint arrangement. In that situation, the parties have the rights to substantially all of the economic benefits associated with the company's assets, and will settle its liabilities. Within the VINCI Group, this situation concerns certain coating plants held and used by VINCI Construction in its road infrastructure construction and renovation activities.

Joint ventures: property development joint arrangements contractualised in France in the form of sociétés civiles de construction-vente (SCCVs) are joint ventures under IFRS 11 and therefore accounted for under the equity method. The same is true of the Group's other joint arrangements taking place through an entity with legal personality and whose production is not intended solely for the parties to the joint arrangement.

Associates are entities over which the Group exerts significant influence. They are accounted for under the equity method in accordance with IAS 28. Significant influence is presumed where the Group's stake is more than or equal to 20%. However, it may arise where the ownership interest is lower, particularly where the Group is represented on the board of directors or any equivalent governance body, and therefore takes part in determining the entity's operational and financial policies and strategy. This applies mainly to the Group's stakes in DEME and CFE, companies at which VINCI has representation on the board of directors.

The holding company of London Gatwick airport and that of the Mexican airport operator OMA have material non-controlling interests (49.99% and 70.01% respectively). The information required by IFRS 12 regarding non-controlling interests is provided in Note I.23.5, "Non-controlling interests" of the 2022 Universal Registration Document. VINCI does not own any interest in structured entities as defined by IFRS 12.

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 certain of the Group's balance sheet and income statement indicators is material.

3. Measurement rules and methods

3.1 Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires estimates to be used and assumptions to be made that may affect the amounts reported in those financial statements.

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

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared with reference to the immediate environment, including as regards the estimates presented below:

  • measurement of revenue from construction and service contracts using the stage of completion method;
  • measurement of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations;
  • determination of discount rates and lease terms to be used to determine the value of right-of-use assets and associated liabilities in respect of leases (IFRS 16);
  • measurement of amortisation calculated using the unit of production method;
  • values used in impairment tests on goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment;
  • measurement of provisions;
  • determination of the discount rates to be used when performing impairment tests (IAS 36) and when calculating the present value of provisions (IAS 37) and employee benefit obligations (IAS 19);
  • measurement of certain financial instruments at fair value;
  • measurement of retirement benefit obligations;
  • measurement of share-based payment expense under IFRS 2;
  • climate risks.

3.2 Measurement of fair value

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. The fair value of derivative financial instruments includes a "counterparty risk" component for derivatives carried as assets and an "own credit risk" component for derivatives carried as liabilities.

The Group mainly uses fair value in measuring, on a consistent basis, the derivative instruments, cash and cash equivalents, shares in unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, cash management financial assets and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations on its balance sheet. The fair value of other financial instruments (particularly debt instruments and assets measured at amortised cost) is stated in Note I.25, "Book and fair value of financial instruments by accounting category".

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

  • market-based approaches, based on observable market prices or transactions;
  • revenue-based approaches, which convert future cash flows into a 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, some shares in unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (mainly ADP), 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 over the counter is made on the basis of models commonly used to price such financial instruments.

Every quarter, the internally calculated values of derivative instruments are checked for consistency with those sent to VINCI 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

Seasonal nature of the business

The Group's activities are subject to seasonal variations. In general, first-half performance is characterised by the seasonal nature of the business in most of the Group's activities, particularly:

  • roadworks, where business volumes are traditionally lower than in the second half of the year, due to weather conditions;
  • motorway concession companies, where traffic volumes are generally lower in the first half than the second because of the high proportion of light vehicle traffic in the summer period.

In the last few years, first-half revenue has accounted for between 45% and 46% of the full-year total.

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

The seasonality of the Group's business is usually reflected in the net use of cash in the first half, which is attributable to the lower level of 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 consolidated interim 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 interim 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 in the financial statements for the period. As regards loss-making contracts in particular, losses on completion identified during the first half are provisioned in full.

Estimation of the tax expense

The tax expense for the first half is determined by applying the estimated average tax rate for the whole of 2023 (including deferred tax) to pre-tax income. This rate may be adjusted for the tax effects of unusual items recognised during the period.

Retirement benefit obligations

No new comprehensive actuarial assessment is carried out for the consolidated interim financial statements. The expense for the first half in respect of retirement benefit obligations is half the expense calculated for 2023 on the basis of actuarial assumptions at 31 December 2022. Impacts arising from changes in assumptions relating to post-employment benefits in the first half of 2023 (discount rate and long-term inflation rate) are recognised under "Other comprehensive income".

4. Specific arrangements

Climate risks

The Group takes climate risks into consideration, based on its best knowledge, as part of its accounts closing assumptions and reflects their potential impact in the financial statements. The process used, described in the 2022 Universal Registration Document in Note A3, "Specific arrangements" to the consolidated financial statements, remained unchanged at 30 June 2023.

() Excluding concession subsidiaries' revenue derived from works carried out by non-Group companies.
(
*) Revenue from ancillary activities mainly comprises rental income, sales of equipment, materials and merchandise, study work and fees other than those generated by concession operators.

Operating income from ordinary activities measures the operational performance of fully consolidated Group subsidiaries. It excludes share-based payment expense (IFRS 2), certain recurring operating items (including the share of profit or loss of companies accounted for under the equity method), together with non-recurring operating items.

Recurring operating income is obtained by taking operating income from ordinary activities and adding the IFRS 2 expense associated with share-based payments (chiefly Group savings plans and performance share plans), the Group's share of profit or loss of subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method, and other recurring operating income and expense. The latter category includes recurring income and expense relating to companies accounted for under the equity method and to non-consolidated companies (financial income from shareholder loans and advances granted by the Group to some subsidiaries, dividends received from non-consolidated companies). Recurring operating income represents the Group's operational performance excluding the impact of non-recurring transactions and events during the period.

Operating income is calculated by taking recurring operating income and adding non-recurring income and expense, which mainly includes goodwill impairment losses and income and expense relating to changes in scope (capital gains or losses on disposals of securities and the impact of changes in control).

Non-recurring operating items in the first half of 2023 mainly related to the acquisition of control over Via 40 Express – see Note A2, "Changes in consolidation scope".

Non-recurring operating items in the first half of 2022 mainly comprised scope effects arising from transactions by VINCI Highways to take control of SCDI and TollPlus and the disposal of Stockholm Skavsta airport in Sweden.

5. Cost of net financial debt

The cost of net financial debt amounted to €340 million in the first half of 2023, up €75 million compared with the first half of 2022 (€265 million). The higher return on surplus cash and the positive impact of a transaction to restructure the London Gatwick airport acquisition debt in the first quarter of 2023 partly offset the effect of sharply higher interest rates since the second half of 2022 on the Group's floating rate debt and the impact of acquisitions outside France, particularly in the Concessions business.

The cost of net financial debt can be analysed as follows:

(in € millions) First half 2023 First half 2022 Full year 2022
Financial liabilities at amortised cost (536) (373) (791)
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss 180 35 120
Derivatives designated as hedges: assets and liabilities 33 68 57
Derivatives at fair value through profit or loss: assets and liabilities (17) 4 -
Total cost of net financial debt (340) (265) (614)

6. Other financial income and expense

Other financial income and expense break down as follows:

(in € millions) First half 2023 First half 2022 Full year 2022
Effect of discounting to present value (38) 43 56
Capitalised borrowing costs 38 11 29
Financial expenses on lease liabilities (30) (23) (48)
Foreign exchange gains and losses, changes in fair value and other changes 14 93 243
Total other financial income and expense (16) 124 279

Changes in discount rates led to a loss of €18 million in the first half of 2023 in relation to provisions for obligations to maintain the condition of concession assets, as opposed to a gain of €57 million in the first half of 2022. Discounting losses also relate to provisions for retirement benefit obligations (€16 million loss in the first half of 2023 and €7 million in the first half of 2022) and fixed fees at more than one year payable to the concession grantor by Belgrade airport in Serbia in the amount of €3 million (the same level as in the first half of 2022).

Capitalised borrowing costs mainly related to VINCI Autoroutes, Belgrade airport in Serbia, London Gatwick airport in the United Kingdom and the Via 40 Express motorway between Bogotá and Girardot in Colombia.

Changes in fair value amounted to €52 million in the first half of 2023 (versus €59 million in the first half of 2022) and mainly concern shares in Groupe ADP.

7. Income tax expense

The tax expense totalled €816 million, as against €741 million in the first half of 2022.

In the first half of 2023 and excluding non-recurring items, the effective tax rate was 27.2% in France and 27.4% outside France.

8. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is the net income for the period after non-controlling interests, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period less the weighted average number of treasury shares.

In calculating diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of existing shares is adjusted for the potentially dilutive effect of all equity instruments issued by the company, in particular Group savings plans and unvested performance shares. Dilution is determined in accordance with the rules laid down by IAS 33. In accordance with this standard, plans for which the stock market price is greater than the average price during the period are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

In calculating basic and diluted earnings per share, 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 table below shows the transition from basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share:

First half 2023 First half 2022 (*) Full year 2022
Net income (in € millions) I 2,089 1,855 4,259

9. Goodwill

In accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets", an entity must assess on each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired.

Recoverable amounts are based on a value in use calculation. To this end, VINCI checked whether business plans established at the time of the 2022 accounts closing, based on management assumptions in accordance with macroeconomic forecasts, had been materially called into question. No impairment loss was recognised after this analysis.

The methods used by the Group are described, along with additional information, in Note E.9, "Goodwill and goodwill impairment tests" to the 2022 consolidated financial statements presented in the 2022 Universal Registration Document.

Changes in the period were as follows:

(in € millions) 30/06/2023 31/12/2022

Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

The main features of concession and PPP contracts are set out in Note F, "Concessions: PPP contracts, concession contracts and other infrastructure" in the 2022 Universal Registration Document.

13. PPP financial receivables (controlled companies)

PPP financial receivables related to concession and PPP contracts managed by the Group are presented on the consolidated balance sheet, for their part at more than one year, under the "Other non-current financial assets" item (see Note E.11, "Other non-current financial assets"). The part at less than one year of these financial receivables is included under "Other current financial assets" on the balance sheet and amounted to €38 million at 30 June 2023.

During the period, the change in the part at more than one year of these receivables broke down as follows:

(in € millions) First half 2023 Full year 2022

Contractual investment obligations of motorway concession companies consist mainly of undertakings made under concession contracts, multi-year master contracts, the 2015 motorway stimulus plan, the 2018 motorway investment plan and the amendment regarding the western Montpellier bypass at ASF.

Overall, VINCI Autoroutes' investment undertakings amounted to €1,333 million at 30 June 2023 (€1,409 million at 31 December 2022). The decrease in the first half of 2023 reflects progress with works.

The above amounts do not include obligations relating to expenditure to maintain the condition of infrastructure under concession, in respect of which specific provisions based on maintenance plans are set aside (see Note G.16.2, "Breakdown of current provisions").

14.2 Companies accounted for under the equity method

Contractual investment obligations

At 30 June 2023, the Group's share of investment commitments given by these companies amounted to €933 million (€1,004 million at 31 December 2022). They relate mainly to projects involving infrastructure under construction at VINCI Highways, including Entrevias (motorway sections in São Paulo state in Brazil, €130 million), Via Salis (D4 motorway linking Příbram to Písek in the Czech Republic, €120 million) and Via Mühlhausen Thüringen (B247 federal road in Germany, €94 million).

Collateral security connected with financing

Collateral security has been granted in the form of pledges of shares in companies accounted for under the equity method.

The net carrying amount of the shares pledged at 30 June 2023 was €34 million, representing no material change relative to 31 December 2022.

In addition, €155 million of corporate guarantees were granted, including those given by Cobra IS to the banks providing finance for four high-voltage line projects in Brazil.

At 30 June 2023, other intangible assets amounted to €9,185 million (€9,045 million at 31 December 2022). The main change resulted mainly from movements in the sterling exchange rate since 31 December 2022.

Other intangible assets include €6,443 million corresponding to the right to operate London Gatwick airport at 30 June 2023. Since that right to operate is analogous to a perpetual licence, it does not give rise to amortisation in accordance with IAS 38 "Intangible Assets". The review of assumptions adopted at 31 December 2022 did not show any indications of impairment.

Amortisation recognised during the period totalled €135 million (€112 million in the first half of 2022 and €239 million in full year 2022), including €64 million (€128 million in 2022) relating to the amortisation of Cobra IS intangible assets identified when allocating the purchase price.

H. Equity

20. Information on equity

Capital management policy

VINCI has a share buy-back programme approved in its Shareholders' General Meeting of 13 April 2023 for a period of 18 months, with a maximum purchase amount of €4 billion at a maximum price of €140 per share. In the first half of 2023, VINCI acquired 2,398,739 shares on the market at an average price of €104.22 per share, for a total of €250 million.

Treasury shares (see Note H.20.2, "Treasury shares") are allocated to financing external growth transactions and to covering performance share plans and the employer contributions to international employee share ownership plans. They may also be cancelled.

VINCI's employee savings policy aims to make it easier for Group employees to become shareholders. At 30 June 2023, over 41% of the Group's employees (84% in France) were VINCI shareholders through collective employee share ownership arrangements. Since those funds own 10.37% of the company's shares, the Group's current and former employees form its largest group of shareholders.

Neither the Group's consolidated equity nor the equity of parent company VINCI SA is subject to any external constraints in the form of financial covenants.

20.1 Share capital

At 30 June 2023, the parent company's share capital was represented by 596,431,645 ordinary shares of €2.5 nominal value each.

VINCI - Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

The investment vehicles used by the Group are money market UCITS, interest earning bank 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.

At 30 June 2023, net cash managed by VINCI SA amounted to €2.0 billion, arising mainly from the cash surpluses transferred upwards from French subsidiaries through a cash pooling system. VINCI Finance International, a wholly owned subsidiary of VINCI SA that centralises the cash surpluses of foreign subsidiaries, managed cash investments of €1.0 billion at 30 June 2023.

This centralisation ensures optimal management of the Group's financial resources and better management of the risks relating to the counterparties and investment vehicles used.

Certain subsidiaries' cash investments are managed in a decentralised manner while complying with the guidelines and instructions issued by VINCI, which define aspects such as the investment vehicles and the counterparties authorised. The investments amounted to €4.9 billion at 30 June 2023, including €1.2 billion for the Concessions business and €3.6 billion for VINCI Energies, Cobra IS and VINCI Construction combined.

23.2 Other available resources

Revolving credit facilities

VINCI has a €8 billion confirmed syndicated revolving credit facility. After two extensions of one year each, the original maturity of the credit facility (November 2023) was extended until November 2025 for an authorisation of €7.7 billion.

At 30 June 2023, VINCI also had a second €2.5 billion facility due to expire in July 2023, with two extension options of six months each. This facility was not renewed.

None of these credit facilities contain any default clause relating to non-compliance with financial ratios. They were undrawn at 30 June 2023.

Some Group entities also have revolving credit facilities, including the company that owns London Gatwick airport and certain Cobra IS subsidiaries. Those facilities were partly drawn at 30 June 2023.

Commercial paper

VINCI SA has a €5 billion commercial paper programme rated A2 by Standard & Poor's and P2 by Moody's. At 30 June 2023, €1.5 billion had been issued under that programme.

Cobra IS has a €200 million commercial paper programme, of which it was using €1 million at 30 June 2023.

24. Financial risk management

The Group's policies and procedures for managing financial risk are identical to those described in Note J.27, "Financial risk management" in the 2022 Universal Registration Document. Transactions to set up or unwind hedging instruments during the first half did not materially alter VINCI's exposure to financial risks.

The main risks – interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit and counterparty risk, and equity risk – are described respectively in Notes J.27.1, J.27.2, J.27.3 and J.27.4 in the 2022 Universal Registration Document.

The Group regularly analyses its hedge relationships to ensure that the hedged cash flows remain highly probable. The main interest rate exposures hedged by the Group concern financing arranged by VINCI SA, ASF and Cofiroute. The Group does not expect any change in the timing or amount of the hedged cash flows relating to this financing.

The other hedged exposures concern project financing; hedges of exposures that show a risk of a change in the repayment schedule have been adjusted to maintain perfect matching.

As regards currency translation risk, the net positions of hedged subsidiaries were closely monitored in order to ensure the absence of over-hedging.

The principles used to measure financial instruments take into account changes in counterparty credit risk, along with the Group's own credit risk. VINCI's risk management policy includes setting strict limits on the basis of counterparties' ratings.

The details of the main financing transactions (nominal and carrying amounts) concerned by these reforms are presented in the table under Note J.25 in the 2022 Universal Registration Document.

At 30 June 2023, provisions for retirement benefit obligations amounted to €1,042 million (including €992 million at more than one year), compared with €1,117 million at 31 December 2022 (including €1,064 million at more than one year). They comprise provisions for lump sums on retirement and provisions for obligations for supplementary retirement benefits. The decrease in the first half of 2023 arose from the increase in discount rates seen in all currency zones concerned during the period.

The part at less than one year of these provisions (€50 million at 30 June 2023 and €53 million at 31 December 2022) is reported under "Other current liabilities".

The expense recognised for the first half of 2023 in respect of retirement benefit obligations is half the forecast expense for 2023 determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions at 31 December 2022 and in accordance with IAS 19.

Details of benefits enjoyed by Group employees are provided in Note K.29.1, "Provisions for retirement benefit obligations" in the 2022 Universal Registration Document.

26.2 Other employee benefits

Provisions for other employee benefits mainly include long-service bonuses and jubilee bonuses. At 30 June 2023, those provisions amounted to €99 million (€98 million at 31 December 2022).

27. Share-based payments

The expense relating to employee benefits was €260 million in the first half of 2023 (€138 million in the first half of 2022), including €87 million in respect of performance share plans (€80 million in the first half of 2022), and €173 million in respect of employee savings plans in France and other countries (€58 million in the first half of 2022).

The features of the various plans in progress are described below.

VINCI - Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

On 8 February 2023, VINCI's Board of Directors decided to change the weighting of the external economic criterion in the 9 April 2020 plan from 20% to 10%, and to increase the weighting of the environmental criterion by 10 percentage points. It also decided that 90% of the performance shares initially granted under the 2020 plan (i.e. 1,925,068 shares) would vest for beneficiaries having remained with the Group (i.e. 3,132 employees). That percentage reflects the fact that the external economic performance criterion was not fulfilled: the difference between VINCI's total shareholder return (TSR) calculated between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2022 (+2%) and that of the CAC 40 over the same period (+17%) was negative by 15 points, and so no shares vested in respect of this criterion. The internal economic performance criterion and the external environmental criterion (65% and 25% weightings respectively) were 100% fulfilled.

On 13 April 2023, VINCI's Board of Directors decided to set up a new performance share plan involving a conditional grant of 2,590,167 shares to 4,390 employees. These shares will not vest until a three-year period has elapsed, subject to beneficiaries being employed by the Group until the end of the vesting period and to the fulfilment of the following performance conditions:

  • An economic criterion (50% weighting) relating to value creation. This is measured by the ratio of the return on capital employed (ROCE, determined after deconsolidation of the airports business until global air passenger numbers have returned to 2019 levels over a full year according to IATA figures), calculated as an average over a three-year period, to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), also calculated as an average over a three-year period. The vesting percentage will vary between 0% if the ratio is 1.0x or lower and 100% if the ratio is 1.25x or higher, with linear interpolation between the two limits of this range.

  • Financial criteria (25% weighting) including:

a) Relative stock market performance (12.5%), measuring VINCI's share price performance by comparison with a composite industry index, calculated on the basis of the stock market valuations of a list of companies operating in comparable business sectors. This relative performance corresponds to the difference, ascertained at 31 December 2025, between the following two indicators:

  • the total shareholder return (TSR) for the VINCI share between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2025;
  • the TSR for the composite industry index between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2025.

Total shareholder returns include dividends.

The vesting percentage will vary between 0% if the difference is negative by 5 points or more and 100% if the difference is positive by 5 points or more, with linear interpolation between the two limits of this range.

b) The Group's ability to manage its debt and generate cash flows in line with its level of debt. This will be measured by the FFO (funds from operations)/net debt ratio, determined according to the methodology of rating agency Standard & Poor's and calculated as an average over a three-year period. The vesting percentage will vary between 0% if the ratio is 15% or lower and 100% if the ratio is 20% or higher, with linear interpolation between the two limits of this range.

  • Environmental, social and governance criteria (25% weighting) comprising:

a) an external environmental criterion (15% weighting) measured by the Climate Change score received each year by VINCI from CDP Worldwide in respect of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 financial years;
b) a safety criterion (5% weighting) measuring the Group's safety performance, based on the frequency rate of workplace accidents with at least 24 hours of lost time per million hours worked for VINCI employees worldwide;
c) a criterion relating to increasing female representation (5% weighting) measuring the increase in the percentage of women hired or promoted to management positions across the Group's whole scope.

The Board may adjust these performance conditions either in the event of a strategic decision that changes the scope of the Group's business activities or under exceptional circumstances.

Fair value of the performance share plans

The fair value of the performance shares has been calculated by an external actuary at the respective grant dates of the shares on the basis of the following characteristics and assumptions:

2023 plan 2022 plan 2021 plan 2020 plan
VINCI share price on date plan was announced (in €) 109.20 90.91 90.70 76.50
Fair value per performance share at grant date (in €) 92.89 76.85 78.64 61.69
Fair value compared with share price at grant date 85.06% 84.53% 86.70% 80.64%
Original maturity (in years) – vesting period 3 years 3 years 3 years 3 years
Risk-free interest rate (*) 2.79% 0.52% (0.64%) (0.44%)

(*) Three-year government bond yield in the eurozone.

27.2 Group savings plans

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

Group savings plan – France

In France, VINCI generally issues new shares reserved for employees three times a year (in January, April and October) at a subscription price that includes a 5% discount against the average stock market price over the 20 trading days preceding the Board of Directors meeting that set the subscription price.

Subscribers also benefit from an employer contribution with an annual maximum of €3,500 per person. The subscription period for each capital increase is around four months. The shares subscribed with the employer contribution are subject to a five-year lock-up period.

At 30 June 2023, given ongoing discussions by accounting standard-setters about whether the non-transferable nature of shares subscribed by employees and purchased through the employer contribution should be reflected in the valuation of the benefit granted, the Group adopted new criteria for measuring the expense, placing itself in the position of a market participant. These criteria may be adjusted in the second half of 2023.

Group savings plan – International

In the first half of 2023, in accordance with authorisations given to the Board of Directors by shareholders at the Shareholders' General Meeting, VINCI initiated new savings plans for the employees of certain foreign subsidiaries (Castor International savings plans). The plans currently cover 46 countries, representing 94% of Group revenue and 88% of the Group's workforce outside France.

The main characteristics of these plans are as follows:

  • subscription period: from 15 May to 2 June 2023 for all countries except the United Kingdom, where there are seven successive subscription periods between March and September 2023;
  • 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.
Castor International plans (excluding the UK) 2023 2022 2021 2020
Subscription price (in €) 109.73 91.71 91.72 73.41
Closing share price on the last day of the subscription period (in €) 107.58 90.14 93.45 90.32
Anticipated dividend pay-out rate 4.01% 4.06% 2.97% 2.51%
Fair value of bonus shares on the last day of the subscription period (in €) 95.37 79.81 85.47 83.78

K. Other notes

28. Related party transactions

The Group's transactions with related parties mainly concern:

  • remuneration and similar benefits paid to members of the governing and management bodies;
  • transactions with companies over which VINCI exercises significant influence or joint ventures over which VINCI has joint control.

Transactions with related parties are undertaken at market prices.

There was no material change in the first half of 2023 in the nature of transactions conducted by the Group with its related parties from those at 31 December 2022, which were referred to in Note E.10.3, "Controlled subsidiaries' transactions with associates and joint ventures", and Note L.31, "Related party transactions", in the 2022 Universal Registration Document.

29. 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 as appropriate.

The main legal, administrative or arbitration proceedings that were in progress on or had ended by 30 June 2023 were as follows:

  • In a judgment handed down on 17 December 2013, the Paris Regional Court declared time-barred and inadmissible a claim by Région Île-de-France (the regional authority for the Greater Paris area) for compensation for the harm it purportedly suffered because of the anti-competitive practices penalised by the Conseil de la Concurrence (1) on 9 May 2007 in relation to the programme to refurbish schools in the Paris region between 1989 and 1996. After that judgment, on 16 November 2015, the tribunal des conflits (jurisdiction court) declared the ordinary courts not competent to decide the dispute between the regional authority and various construction companies. In 2017, the regional authority made 88 applications to the Paris Administrative Court relating to an equal number of school refurbishment contracts, claiming €293 million of damages from 14 companies – including several Group companies – and 11 individuals. In late July 2019, the Paris Administrative Court dismissed Région Île-de-France's claims. The regional authority is appealing against those 88 decisions. On 19 February 2021, in its judgments in two of the 88 sets of proceedings, the Paris Administrative Court of Appeal took the view that Région Île-de-France's action was not time-barred, that the regional authority would therefore have grounds to ask the court to find the defendants jointly and severally liable, but that its wrongdoing reduced the defendants' liability by a third, and ordered an expert opinion to determine any harm suffered by Région Île-de-France. The defendants lodged an appeal on points of law against these two judgments before the Conseil d'État, with the other 86 sets of proceedings remaining adjourned. In two judgments dated 9 and 17 May 2023, the Conseil d'État dismissed these appeals. The expert opinion is currently in progress. The Group takes the view that these proceedings represent a contingent liability whose impact it is currently unable to measure.

  • In August 2019, after the French government notified its intention to terminate early the concession contract relating to the Notre-Dame-des-Landes, Nantes Atlantique and Saint-Nazaire Montoir airports, Aéroports du Grand Ouest (AGO) twice sought to commence the conciliation procedure provided for in Article 94 of the concession contract. The government refused to comply and, through an order dated 24 October 2019, declared that the concession contract had been terminated for public interest reasons. On 5 December 2019, to safeguard its right to compensation, AGO sent to the government an initial compensation request and, on 6 December 2019, it filed an application to the Nantes Administrative Court to challenge the termination order. In its application, AGO reiterated that it was prepared to commence, as an alternative, a mediation procedure under Article L.213-7 of the French Code of Administrative Justice, to try to reach a balanced agreement that would resolve the dispute. On 3 June 2021, AGO received the government's defence, sent by the Nantes Administrative Court. On 30 June 2021, the President of the Nantes Administrative Court proposed a mediation procedure to the parties, pursuant to Article L.213-7 of the French Code of Administrative Justice. AGO accepted this proposed mediation, but the latter was not able to take place due to the government's refusal to implement the procedure. The dispute is therefore still ongoing before the Nantes Administrative Court. As the matter currently stands, the Group is not able to assess the impact of this situation.

  • The Czech Republic's roads and motorways department (RSD) has made several claims against Eurovia CS, a Eurovia subsidiary based in the Czech Republic, as well as other non-Group companies. These claims concern works carried out between 2003 and 2007 in building the D47 motorway. Since late 2012, the RSD has brought several arbitration and legal proceedings mainly to seek damages for what the RSD alleges was defective work affecting the roads and engineering structures that were built as well as additional compensation for various other losses. Repairs have been carried out since the start of 2014, costing substantially less than the amount sought by the RSD. A partial arbitration decision was handed down in June 2021. The corresponding works were completed in 2022 for amounts that are also considerably lower than those sought by the RSD. An arbitration decision is pending for two other motorway sections and civil proceedings have been brought in relation to a fourth section. Regarding the claims relating mainly to defective work and covered by the proceedings already under way, the RSD is claiming damages of 2.6 billion Czech koruna, of which Eurovia CS's share would be around 85%. In view of its current status and its latest developments, the Group considers that this dispute will not have a material effect on its financial situation.

  • On 6 November 2019, the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (Peru) commenced arbitration proceedings against Lima Express, the concession holder of the Línea Amarilla motorway, before the International Arbitration Chamber of Paris. The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima's main claim, as concession grantor, relates to the termination of the 12 November 2009 concession contract and to the series of amendments to that contract. Lima Express is contesting the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima's claims based on allegations of bribery prior to the Group's acquisition of Lima Express in 2016, and has filed a counterclaim. In addition, in proceedings against a former public official of the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima, Lima Express was ordered at first instance to pay civil compensation amounting to around 25 million Peruvian sols. In two other sets of criminal proceedings currently taking place against an ex-mayor of Lima, the public prosecutors have requested that Lima Express's civil liability be invoked. Lima Express is disputing these requests in each set of proceedings. The Group takes the view that these proceedings represent a contingent liability whose impact it is unable to measure.

  • On 12 May 2015, VINCI Construction Grands Projets formed a non-incorporated joint venture with Italian company Astaldi. The entity was created for the purpose of carrying out construction works on the new Santiago airport in Chile under an engineering, procurement and construction contract formed on 18 November 2015 with the concession holder Sociedad Concesionaria Nuevo Pudahuel. VINCI Construction Grands Projets and Astaldi have equal interests in the joint venture. A dispute has arisen between VINCI Construction Grands Projets and Astaldi regarding (i) allegations of mismanagement made by Astaldi against VINCI Construction Grands Projets, which VINCI Construction Grands Projets rejects entirely, and (ii) VINCI Construction Grands Projets' exclusion of Astaldi from the joint venture's governance because of misconduct by Astaldi, which is disputed by Astaldi. Astaldi commenced arbitration proceedings against VINCI Construction Grands Projets on 14 December 2020 before the International Chamber of Commerce. In a letter dated 28 December 2020, Astaldi stated that the amount it was claiming was around €150 million. VINCI Construction Grands Projets entirely disputes the compensation sought by Astaldi and has made a counterclaim aimed at (i) forcing Astaldi to pay its share of the loss suffered by the consortium at the time of its exclusion and (ii) forcing Astaldi to reimburse its share of the calls for funds made during the works, which total €59.6 million. An initial arbitral tribunal, the seat of which is in Geneva, was constituted on 14 June 2021. Subsequently, following Astaldi's acquisition by Webuild, on 25 November 2021 VINCI Construction Grands Projets commenced new arbitration proceedings against Webuild, without abandoning its counterclaim against Astaldi. VINCI Construction Grands Projets' view is that since the date of the aforementioned acquisition (1 August 2021), Webuild has been liable for the compensation it is claiming from Astaldi in relation to the airport construction work. This is disputed by Webuild. Subsequently, on 11 March 2022, the International Chamber of Commerce's International Court of Arbitration joined the two existing sets of proceedings into a new set of proceedings. The arbitral tribunal then resigned and on 3 June 2022 the same International Court of Arbitration, noting that the parties had not agreed on the appointment of new arbitrators, appointed them itself in order to form a new arbitral tribunal, which has since been in charge of the new tripartite proceedings. As part of those proceedings, VINCI Construction Grands Projets has filed its submissions in support of its claim against Webuild and Astaldi, seeking an award forcing them to (i) pay their share of the loss suffered by the consortium at the time of Astaldi's exclusion and (ii) reimburse their share of the calls for funds made during the works, which total €59.6 million. These tripartite proceedings remain ongoing. In view of the current situation, the Group considers that this dispute will not have a material effect on its financial situation.

  • On 23 June 2022, the Autorité de la Concurrence sent a statement of objections to Nuvia Process as principal, and to Soletanche Freyssinet and VINCI (as parent companies) relating to practices prohibited by Article L420-1 of the French Commercial Code regarding engineering, maintenance, decommissioning and waste processing services in relation to nuclear facilities and concerning several contracts awarded by the CEA (the French alternative and atomic energy commission) for its Marcoule site. These proceedings remain ongoing. The Group takes the view that these proceedings represent a contingent liability whose impact it is unable to measure.

There are no other judicial, administrative or arbitration proceedings, 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 financial situation or profitability of the Company and/or Group.

L. Other consolidation rules and methods

Intercompany transactions

Reciprocal operations and transactions relating to assets, liabilities, income and expenses between companies that are fully consolidated are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Where a fully consolidated Group entity carries out a transaction with a joint venture or associate that is accounted for under the equity method, income and losses resulting from the transaction are only recognised in the Group's consolidated financial statements to the extent of the interest owned by third parties in the joint venture or associate.

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 forms part of the assets acquired and is therefore denominated in the company's functional currency and translated at the exchange rate in force at the balance sheet date.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currency are translated into euros at the exchange rate at the transaction date.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the closing rate. Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in income.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on loans denominated in foreign currency or on exchange rate derivatives qualifying as hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries are recorded under currency translation differences in equity.

Business combinations

Under IFRS 3, 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. Contingent price adjustments are included in the cost of the business combination and 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. They are presented in the "Impact of changes in scope and gain/(loss) on disposals of shares" item of the income statement.

Non-controlling interests in the acquiree, where they give their holders present ownership interests in the entity (voting rights, a share of earnings, etc.) and entitle them to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation, 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.

At the date of acquisition of control, the cost of acquisition is allocated by recognising the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquiree at their fair value at that date, except for tax assets and liabilities and employee benefits, which are measured according to their reference standard (IAS 12 and IAS 19 respectively) and asset groups classified as held for sale, which are recognised under IFRS 5 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 of the acquiree 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 of acquisition 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.

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

In accordance with IFRS 10, 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. Professional fees and other costs relating to acquisitions and disposals of non-controlling interests that have no impact on control, and any associated tax effects, are recorded under equity. Cash flows related to transactions between shareholders are presented under cash flow (used in)/from financing activities in the consolidated cash flow statement.

Put options granted to non-controlling shareholders

Put options (options to sell) granted to the non-controlling shareholders of certain Group subsidiaries are recognised under other non-current liabilities for the present value of the exercise price of the option and as a corresponding reduction of consolidated equity (non-controlling interest and equity attributable to equity holders of the parent for the surplus, if any).

VINCI - Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

Assets held for sale

Non-current assets (or groups of assets) are classified as held for sale and recognised at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction instead of through continuing use.

Non-current assets (including those forming part of a group held for sale) classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortised.

Discontinued operations

Discontinued operations, whether halted, disposed of or classified as held for sale, and provided they:

  • represent a business line or a geographical area of business that is material for the Group,
  • form part of a single disposal plan relating to a business line or a geographical area of business that is material for the Group, or
  • correspond to a subsidiary acquired exclusively for resale,
    are shown on a separate line of the consolidated income statement and the consolidated cash flow statement at the balance sheet date.

The Group assesses their materiality using various criteria, both qualitative (market, product, geographical area) and quantitative (revenue, profitability, cash flow, assets). Assets connected with discontinued operations, if held for sale, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Report of the Statutory Auditors on the 2023 interim financial information

Period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023

To the Shareholders,

In accordance with our appointment as Statutory Auditors by the shareholders at the Shareholders' General Meeting and with the requirements of 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 consolidated interim financial statements of VINCI for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 June 2023,
  • the verification of the information presented in the management report for the first half.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our limited 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 accounting and financial matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

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

II – Specific verification

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

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

Glossary

Cash flows from operations before tax and financing costs (Ebitda): Ebitda corresponds to recurring operating income adjusted for additions to depreciation and amortisation, changes in non-current provisions and non-current asset impairment, gains and losses on asset disposals. It also includes restructuring charges included in non-recurring operating items.

Concession subsidiaries' revenue from works done by non-Group companies: this indicator relates to construction work done by concession companies as programme manager on behalf of concession grantors. Consideration for that work is recognised as an intangible asset or financial asset depending on the accounting model applied to the concession contract, in accordance with IFRIC 12 "Service Concession Arrangements". It excludes work done by VINCI Energies and VINCI Construction business lines.

Cost of net financial debt: the cost of net financial debt comprises all financial income and expense relating to net financial debt as defined below. It therefore includes interest expense and income from interest rate derivatives allocated to gross debt, along with financial income from investments and cash equivalents. The reconciliation between this indicator and the income statement is detailed in the notes to the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Ebitda margin, Ebit margin and recurring operating margin: ratios of Ebitda, Ebit, or recurring operating income to revenue excluding concession subsidiaries' revenue from works done by non-Group companies.

Free cash flow: free cash flow is made up of operating cash flow and growth investments in concessions and public-private partnerships (PPPs).

Like-for-like revenue growth: this indicator measures the change in revenue at constant scope and exchange rates.

Constant scope: the scope effect is neutralised as follows.

  • For revenue in year N, revenue from companies that joined the Group in year N is deducted.
  • For revenue in year N-1, the full-year revenue of companies that joined the Group in year N-1 is included, and revenue from companies that left the Group in years N-1 and N is excluded.

Constant exchange rates: the currency effect is neutralised by applying exchange rates in year N to foreign currency revenue in year N-1.

Net financial surplus/debt: this corresponds to the difference between financial assets and financial debt.

If the assets outweigh the liabilities, the balance represents a net financial surplus, and if the liabilities outweigh the assets, the balance represents net financial debt. Financial debt includes bonds and other borrowings and financial debt (including derivatives and other liabilities relating to hedging instruments). Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents and assets relating to derivative instruments.

Under IFRS 16, the Group recognises right-of-use assets relating to leased items under non-current assets, along with a liability corresponding to the present value of lease payments still to be made. That liability is not included in net financial surplus/debt as defined by the Group, and is presented directly on the balance sheet.

Non-recurring operating items: non-recurring income and expense mainly includes impairment losses on goodwill and other material assets, restructuring charges and income and expense relating to changes in scope (capital gains or losses on disposals of securities and the impact of changes in control).

Operating cash flow: operating cash flow is a measurement of cash flows generated by the Group's ordinary activities.

It is made up of Ebitda, the change in operating working capital requirement and current provisions, interest paid, income taxes paid, dividends received from companies accounted for under the equity method, operating investments net of disposals and repayments of lease liabilities and the associated financial expense. Operating cash flow does not include growth investments in concessions and PPPs.

Operating income: this indicator is included in the income statement. Operating income is calculated by taking recurring operating income and adding non-recurring income and expense (see below).

Operating income from ordinary activities (Ebit): this indicator is included in the income statement.

Ebit measures the operational performance of fully consolidated Group subsidiaries. It excludes share-based payment expense (IFRS 2), other recurring operating items (including the share of the income or loss of companies accounted for under the equity method) and non-recurring operating items.

Order book

  • In VINCI Energies, VINCI Construction and Cobra IS the order book represents the volume of business yet to be carried out on projects where the contract is in force (in particular after service orders have been obtained or after conditions precedent have been met) and financed.
  • At VINCI Immobilier, the order book corresponds to the revenue, recognised on a progress-towards-completion basis, that is yet to be generated on a given date with respect to property sales confirmed by a notarised deed or with respect to property development contracts on which the works order has been given by the project owner.

VINCI – Interim financial report at 30 June 2023


Condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Order intake

  • In VINCI Energies, VINCI Construction and Cobra IS, a new order is recorded when the contract has been not only signed but is also in force (for example, after the service order has been obtained or after conditions precedent have been met) and when the project's financing is in place. The amount recorded in order intake corresponds to the contractual revenue.
  • At VINCI Immobilier, order intake corresponds to the value of properties sold off-plan or sold after completion in accordance with a notarised deed, or revenue from property development contracts where the works order has been given by the project owner.

For joint property developments:

  • If VINCI Immobilier has sole control over the development company, it is fully consolidated. In that case, 100% of the contract value is included in order intake.
  • If the development company is jointly controlled, it is accounted for under the equity method and its order intake is not included in the total.

Public-private partnership – concessions and partnership contracts

Public-private partnerships are forms of long-term public sector contracts through which a public authority calls upon a private sector partner to design, build, finance, operate and maintain a facility or item of public infrastructure and/or manage a service.

In France, a distinction is drawn between concessions (for works or services) and partnership contracts.

Outside France, there are categories of public contracts – known by a variety of names – with characteristics similar to those of the French concession and partnership contracts.

In a concession, the concession holder receives a toll (or other form of remuneration) directly from users of the infrastructure or service, on terms defined in the contract with the public sector authority that granted the concession. The concession holder therefore bears "traffic level risk" related to the use of the infrastructure.

In a partnership contract, the private partner is paid by the public authority, the amount being tied to performance targets, regardless of the infrastructure's level of usage. The private partner therefore bears no traffic level risk.

Recurring operating income

This indicator is included in the income statement. Recurring operating income is intended to present the Group's operational performance excluding the impact of non-recurring transactions and events during the period. It is obtained by taking operating income from ordinary activities (Ebit) and adding the IFRS 2 expense associated with share-based payments (Group savings plans and performance share plans), the Group's share of the profit or loss of subsidiaries accounted for under the equity method, and other recurring operating income and expense. The latter category includes recurring income and expense relating to companies accounted for under the equity method and to non-consolidated companies (financial income from shareholder loans and advances granted by the Group to some of its subsidiaries, dividends received from non-consolidated companies, etc.).

VINCI Autoroutes motorway numbers: this is the number of kilometres travelled by light and heavy vehicles on the motorway network managed by VINCI Autoroutes during a given period.

VINCI Airports passenger numbers: this is the number of passengers who have travelled on commercial flights from or to a VINCI Airports airport during a given period, an appropriate metric for estimating both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenue generated by an airport.
