H1 2015 sales: €968m (+7.1% reported and -2.9% like-for-like).• A positive perimeter of +€20m, and a positive currency effect of €70m. All comments below are based

on like-for-like figures.• The decrease is mostly due to a weak H1 2015 in the US (negative comparison effect with

a strong H1 2014), which is not offset by the good performance in France. • In France, a significant growth (+3%) thanks to a solid activity in General Literature, with both new

releases and paperback segment (Fifty Shades), in addition to Illustrated Books, especially coloring books.

• In the US, activity contracted (-7.8%) mostly because of e-books; H1 2014 benefited from a strong best-seller offering (including The Goldfinch by D.Tartt and The Silkworm by R. Galbraith). In the UK, the decrease in activity (-3.5%) is due primarily to the change in VAT rate, and to a soft performance in Trade.

• Activity is also slightly down in Spain and Latin America (-3.8%), with some delays in education sales.• The decrease in Partworks (-3.4%) was a result of a negative comparison effect with a buoyant

H1 2014.


Lagardère Publishing:

focus on e-book

9*Trade. / **Adult trade.

As expected, the weight of e-books has decreased: e-books accounted for 10.7% of sales in H1 2015 vs. 11.3% in H1 2014. Digital for the time being remains essentially limited to the traditional fiction/non-fiction

segment, in the US and UK markets, with similar market trends: • in the US, in a decreasing market (which confirms the slowdown noticed since H1 2014),

Lagardère Publishing digital sales accounted for 24% of Trade sales in H1 2015. It reflects market trend, fewer movie tie-ins vs. H1 2014, and the impact of the agreement with Amazon;

• in the UK, where the market is stabilising, e-book sales decreased due to a less intensive new release schedule and to a change in VAT rate. E-books accounted for 33% of Adult trade sales;

• French and Spanish markets still at an early stage.

All comments below are based on like-for-like figures.• The Travel Retail market environment was marked by an improvement in air traffic,

showing solid growth in all regions. The development strategy of the division bore fruits with the continued momentum in Travel Retail, which grew strongly (+7.3%). See details next page.

• Distribution is down -4.0%, as the continued downturn of the press market is not yet fully compensated by diversification initiatives.

The growth strategy of Lagardère Travel Retail is bearing fruits.• All comments below are based on like-for-like figures.• A strong growth of Travel Retail activity (+7.3% like-for-like) on almost all markets, with a slight

acceleration in Q2 (+7.8%), fuelled by improving traffic trends, the good performance of acquisitions and commercial initiatives (new Relay and Aelia concepts). - In France, a sharp growth (+8.7%) driven by Duty Free (increase in traffic and Spend Per

Passenger (SPP), in addition to good performance of regional airports), Travel Essentials and Foodservice (network development).

- In the rest of Europe, activity is up (+7.9%), especially in Poland (+11.8%), Italy (+7.3%) with the ramping up of Rome airport (+13.9%, despite the fire which occurred in May), Romania (+15.5%), and Spain (+10.6%).

- The robust increase in North America (+5.7%) is driven by network increase and sustained underlying activity.

- Asia-Pacific is up (+3.2%) with strong sales in Asia (+9.8%) fueled by the fashion activities in China and Singapore.

• Commercial activity was successful with several bids won and successful renewals: New Zealand (Auckland), UK (Luton), Poland (Warsaw and Krakow), Canada (Toronto), China (Kunming)…

H1 2015 profitability • Impact of the disposal of the Swiss and US Distribution activities: -€4m.• Increase in Travel Retail of +€3m: rise in margin thanks to an improving product mix,

the gain of new contracts and the successful development of new concepts.• Negative impact of the consolidation of Airest (weaker profitability in the 1st quarter): -€3m.• Decrease in Distribution: -€1m.

• Non-recurring and non-operating items comprise mainly amortisation of intangible assets (due to recent acquisitions) and restructuring costs (in Distribution), which are partly compensated by the net capital gains on the Distribution assets sold during the 1st half 2015 (in Switzerland and in the US).


Lagardère Travel Retail: profitability


H1 2015 sales: €437m (+0.7% reported and +0.2% like-for-like).• A positive perimeter of +€3m. All comments below are based on like-for-like figures.• Despite a decrease in advertising sales of -3.5% and in circulation, the activity level

remains stable. It benefits from a sharp increase in TV Production (+44.9%), related toa favourable phasing of programme deliveries.

• Magazine activities are down by -4.7%, with a drop in advertising (-6.5 %) and in circulation (-7.1%), partly offset by the strong development of other activities particularly in digital (+19%).

• Various trends in radio stations (-3.9%): down for Europe 1 and up for musical stations in Eastern Europe and in France (thanks to better audience shares).

• TV activities (theme channels and TV Production) are strongly up (+28.1%) thanks mostly to TV Production in light of a weak H1 2014 and, furthermore, positive effects in 2015 tied to sales of rights and a favourable phasing of deliveries, especially on stock programmes.

• The drop in Pure Digital sales (-20%) is mostly due to the dip in LeGuide sales. Excluding the latter, Pure Digital activities have increased by +5.4% thanks to new sources of revenues.

Recurring EBIT of fully

consolidated companies, Like-for-like

sales and Free cash flow

38

Recurring EBIT of fully consolidated companies is defined as the difference between profit before finance costs and tax and the following items of the profit and loss statement:

• Income (loss) from equity-accounted companies; • gains (losses) on disposals of assets; • impairment losses on goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; • restructuring costs; • items related to business combinations:

- expenses on acquisitions;- gains and losses resulting from acquisition price adjustments and fair value adjustment

resulting from changes in control;- amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets.

Like-for-like sales were calculated by adjusting: • 2015 sales to exclude companies consolidated for the first time during the year, and 2014

sales to exclude companies divested in 2015; • 2015 and 2014 sales based on 2014 exchange rates.

Free cash flow is defined as: net cash generated by operating and investing activities, excluding acquisitions/disposals of financial assets and short-term investments.

Significantevents

Lagardère Services changed its name to Lagardère Travel Retail on July 8, 2015. It still includes revenues from the Distribution division.

The rise (+5.8%*) in passenger traffic worldwide has improved compared to last year (+4.9%). The growth remains strong in Europe at +4.8%. Asia-Pacific traffic growth is recovering after the Malaysian airline crashes and the economic slowdown.

At constant rate and perimeter, the favourable traffic evolution combined with a dynamic management of the network, generated a sustained growth of Travel Retail sales (+7.3%). Total division like-for-like sales increased by +3.5%, the strong performance of Travel Retail being partly absorbed by the decline of Distribution (-4%), mainly North America.

Total sales on a reported basis reached €1,640m (-11.4% vs. June 2014) with a favourable exchange rate +2.3pts (rise of the Swiss franc, the US, Australian and Canadian dollars) and, as expected, a negative effect of the scope impacts (-€306m or -16.6pts):

• deconsolidation impact (-€214m): deconsolidation of Relay activities in train stations in France (creation of a joint venture with SNCF in September 2014), as well as high-street Retail activities in Poland (now consolidated using the equity method after disposal of 51% of Inmedio's capital in December 2014);

• the disposal in Switzerland of Retail activities (Naville) in February 2015, with an impact of -€107 million, and of book stores (Payot) in July 2014 with an impact of -€25 million;

• acquisitions for €54 million, essentially the Airest Group's activities (comparable since mid-April 2014).

Distribution divestment process is on-going: • disposal of the Swiss activities completed on February 27, 2015;• disposal of Curtis Circulation Company, a leading US national distributor of magazines on June 26, 2015; • the process to sell the other Distribution and Integrated Retail businesses (in Spain, Hungary, Belgium and

Canada) is on track.

Main perimeter evolution since the beginning of the year (Travel Retail)• Acquisition of 17 fashion and confectionery stores at JFK airport (New York – USA) on April 21, 2015

($25m turnover projected for the first full year).

Significant perimeter effects in 2014 impacting 2015 (Travel Retail) • The Airest Group was acquired in April 2014. Airest operate more than 200 sales outlets in

11 countries, in Foodservice and Travel Retail (€90m turnover at the end of June 2015).• The creation of two joint ventures related to the Travel Essentials business line (transfer to equity

method): - in France, a joint venture with SNCF (French railways) at the beginning of September 2014,

following the gain of a 10-year concession contract to operate newsstands and convenience stores (Relay, Hubiz) in the majority of the French railway stations (307 sales outlets);

- in Poland, a joint venture with Eurocash SA beginning in December 2014 which encompass the newsstands and convenience stores in malls and city centers (Inmedio activities in Poland: 413 stores).

47

Background(2/3)


In a still challenging environment, Travel Retail growth remained strong and half-year 2015 was marked by:

• The good performances and full effects of the new activities: - new Fashion concessions in Spain (6 stores opened in Madrid, Malaga, Barcelona and

Valencia along year 2014) and in the UK (6 stores in Birmingham opened in second half 2014);- Foodservice developments in France with Simply Food (Marks & Spencer at La Défense

opened in June 2014), new concessions opened in 2015 at Nice airport and in hospitals (Générale de Santé: 16 new stores); in the US, full effect of stores opened in 2014 at Los Angeles TBIT;

- Foodservice operations started in Iceland in March 2015 (7 stores); - opening of 4 additional Duty Free stores at Rome airport in 2015.

• Gain or renewal of major contracts: Warsaw T1 (Retail and Foodservice) opened at the end of May 2015, Auckland (New Zealand; Duty Free concession taken over on June 26), Krakow (Poland) Duty Free concessions to be taken over in 2015, Luton (renewal of the Duty Free concession),Toronto Pearson (renewal of the Travel Essentials concession), Kunming (China) master concession won to be opened late 2015.

• New and more aggressive marketing and commercial initiatives with the roll-out of the new Relay and Aelia concepts as well as the continuous strengthening of the purchasing ability.

48

Background(3/3)


Duty Free & Luxury• 100% managed sales up by +8% attributable to:

- an increase of +9.8% at Paris airports fueled by the strong improvement of the Fashion activities (+21%) as well as the sustained growth of the electronics & travel accessories network and favorable trends on the core duty free segment (+6%), positively impacted by the increase in spending of Chinese passengers;

- sales in regional airports outside Paris are showing a decrease of -3% due to the closing of Eurotunnel stores from March 2015, not fully compensated by dynamic growth at Niceand Lyon airports.

Travel Essentials and Foodservice• 100% managed sales increase by +4.0%:

- flat press sales and increasing book sales (+5%) within Relay network: higher press sales in January/February following Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack and dynamic book release;

- successful commercial initiatives and modernisation of the network:‒ strong growth of the Food & Beverage category (+19%);‒ renovation of La Tour Eiffel stores;‒ modernisation of the SNCF stores following the gain of the tender in 2013.

Italy • Rome airports

- A major fire occurred on May 7 at Fiumicino airport, destroying part of the commercial spaces of the Terminal 3 (closing of 2 stores). Insurances should compensate the losses and the company is working with airport authorities to optimise customer service.

- Despite this event, sales increase by +14% (traffic +7%).

• Airest Italy- Acquisition of Airest Group on April 16, 2014.- On a comparable basis, sales increase by +1%. As expected, Foodservice operations have

been affected by lower sales on motorways (-6%) and shopping malls (-5%). Duty Free & Travel Essentials more than compensate this impact with sales above last year at +7.5%.

Netherlands• Despite the closing of the largest store in Lounge 2 due to major renovations at Schiphol airport,

sales are only down by -1.8%:- excellent transfer of sales to Lounge 3 stores and great performance of temporary stores in

Lounge 2;- positive traffic trend (+4.5%).

United Kingdom• Growth of +11.5% attributable to both the opening of 6 fashion stores in Birmingham in Q3 2014

and to the performance of the Luton platform (which has been successfully renewed in Q1 2015).22 stores at the end of June 2015 vs. 15 stores in June 2014.

Spain• Sales increase by +10.6 %:

- Duty Free activities have strongly increased vs. 2014 through the opening of 6 Fashion stores in Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga and Valencia airports last year;

- Travel Essentials Print sales decreased by -2% in Spain and in Portugal, as the rationalisationof the network (21 stores closed in 2014), partly offset by the development of the Souvenirs and Food & Beverage categories;

- the network comprises 146 stores (down 8 vs. June 2014).

Germany• Sales increase by +1.2 %:

- Travel Essentials is stable; - growth of Foodservice: +7% thanks to the development of the Frankfurt train station food court

and the development of the Coffee Fellows network (sales at +12.2%).• The network consists of 124 sales outlets at end of June 2015 (32 in Foodservice).

Austria/Slovenia (Airest)• Acquisition of Airest Group on April 16, 2014.• The network consists of 36 sales outlets at end of June 2015.

Poland• Excluding the impact of Inmedio activities deconsolidation on December 1, 2014, Poland’s total

turnover is growing by +11.8%, with +13% from both Duty Free activities and Travel Essentials and +4% from Foodservice. This positive trend is mainly explained by the strong traffic trend (Warsaw: +7.5%) and the opening of Terminal 1 stores at Warsaw airport in May 2015.

• Total managed network is +52 stores (780 sales outlets, including 419 Inmedio stores).

Czech Republic• Despite the decline in Russian traffic and spend, sales increased by +6.0% in 2015, mainly

due to the continuing development of the network and the Airest integration from April 2014 (20 stores), Foodservice revenues increased by +31.9%.

• Duty Free showed a -6% decrease due to lower sales with Russian passengers at Prague airport following rubble devaluation and political crisis.

Romania and Bulgaria• Romania: sales up by +15.5% with a network of 218 sales outlets (+12 additional stores in 2015).• Bulgaria: business grew by +19.8% thanks to the opening of 7 new stores in 2014/2015 and the

good performance of the Food & Beverage and Tobacco categories.

Retail activities in Canada and in the United States show a +5.7% growth on a comparable basis (rate and perimeter).

• Increased revenues from the comparable network: +8% in Food & Beverage, +5% in Souvenirs and Travel Accessories and -5% for Press.

• Revenues from non-comparable network has an impact of -2.0pts on total sales due to strong perimeter effects:- JFK T4 acquisition in April 2015 (14 stores opened at the end of June): impacting sales at

+2.0pts;- Airest integration from April 2014 (9 stores): impacting sales at +0.8pt;- disposal of urban retail stores in Canada (29 stores disposed at the end of June 2014):

impacting sales at -6.0pts;- other network effect (mainly Dallas and LAX Food & Beverage): impacting sales at +1.2pt.

Travel Retail in North America

53


Pacific• In 2015, on-going rationalisation of the news & book network has been compensated by the

developments of the Duty Free & Luxury activities (Auckland Duty Free concession opened in late June, Victoria’s Secret, MAC and AMUSE concepts in different locations) and the Travel Essentials activities (Tech2go, Souvenirs and Convenience).

• Like-for-like sales are up +4% for Travel Essentials, driven by books and food categories in Australia and overall strong performance in New Zealand.

• The network comprises 138 sales outlets at end of June 2015 (+6 stores).

Asia• Strong turnover growth (+9.8%), despite a rather challenging environment:

- slowdown of traffic growth in Singapore and Malaysia due to continuous adverse effects of political events in Thailand and the 2 airplane crashes from Malaysia Airlines;

- lower average spent, due to the effect of the new Chinese regulations aiming at limiting sumptuary spending and to the devaluation of the Indonesian rupiah.

• In this context, the turnover growth was essentially driven by the ramp-up of Fashion activities in China and the continuous development of Singapore sales (openings of new Fashion stores and new products/range development).

• Network: 128 stores in Asia at end of June 2015, which is an increase of +13 stores. The company exited from Taiwan (6 stores).

Advertising radio market has declined during the first semester 2015. In this context, Lagardère Active’s radios have performed variously.

Europe 1: number 3 news and entertainment radio station in France, reaching daily over 4 million people.• Despite its stable overall audience share, Europe 1 revenues have decreased, due to late 2014 decrease

on its main commercial target audience (25-59 years old listeners).• Europe1.fr launched Europe 1 Plus in March 2015, thus strengthening its video offer.

RFM: number 2 music radio station in France on the 35-59 years old target segment.• A record high audience in 8 years (2,566,000 listeners and 4.8% daily reach) was reached on the last

audience wave (January-March 2015): audience share, cumulative audience and listening time have increased.

• RFM’s growing success is due to the diversity of its music and the quality of its hosts.

Virgin Radio: biggest increase in cumulative audience (wave January-March 2015) compared to the other French musical radio stations.

• Virgin Radio increased its average audience by 13%, altogether with a successful prime talk show.• Virgin Radio is very active on digital device: visits on the website increased by 35%.

International radios• In H1 2015, advertising sales increased in each country where Lagardère Active Radio International

(LARI) operates, with remarkable performances, notably in Poland and Romania.• In Romania, on the urban market, Europa FM ranked number one private radio station in audience share

over the last two audience waves. • In the Czech Republic, LARI reinforced its positions by creating a joint venture for advertising brokerage

operations with Media Bohemia Group, a media group editing national and regional radios.• LARI continues to implement its strategy to set up a radio network on the African continent. After the

launch of Vibe Radio in Senegal in September 2014, LARI gained a frequency in Ivory Coast and intends to broadcast under the Vibe Radio trademark in Abidjan in the second half of 2015.
