The Group achieved its full-year targets in 2019 with robust results in its three sectors of activity and a high level of cash generation.

• Sales were up 7% year-on-year (up 5% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates) to €37.9 billion, driven by all businesses.
• As expected, Group profitability improved. Current operating profit increased €112 million to €1,676 million versus 2018. Excluding the impact of Axione5, it was up €218 million year-on-year, resulting in a 0.3-point year-on-year increase in the current operating margin to 4.4% in 2019.
• Net profit attributable to the Group in 2019 was down €124 million year-on-year to €1,184 million due to a decline in non-current income (€20 million in 2019 versus €265 million in 2018), mainly at Bouygues Telecom.
• Group free cash flow, restated for the dividends paid by Alstom in 2018 and 20196, rose €234 million year-on-year to €1,038 million. It notably benefited from a €109-million increase in free cash flow generation at Bouygues Telecom, which achieved its target of €300 million in 2019.
• Group free cash flow after WCR of €815 million excluding Alstom dividends increased two-fold versus 2018. This reflects net cash flow growth in all three sectors of activity (up €330 million), stable net capex and a €176-million improvement in the Group’s WCR7.

The Group strengthened its financial structure.

• The Group substantially reduced its net debt at end‑2019 to €2.2 billion versus €3.6 billion at end-2018, benefiting from the positive €1.4-billion impact of Alstom (dividends and sale of 13% of share capital).
• Net gearing8 improved 14 points to 19% at end-2019 versus 33% at end-2018.

DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors will ask at the Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2020 for the approval of a dividend of €2.60 per share, of which €0.90 is exceptional.

The ex-date, record date and payment date have been set at 5 May, 6 May and 7 May 2020 respectively.

OUTLOOK

In long-term growth markets, the construction businesses will strengthen their portfolio of low-carbon solutions to maintain their leadership in sustainable construction and benefit from their actions to improve profitability.Expected improvement in the current operating margin of the construction businesses in 2020 versus 2019.

TF1 is benefiting from long-term growth to position itself as a major player in the video market:

• Double-digit current operating margin in 2020;
• Cost of programs at €985 million in 2020.

5 Restated for the capital gain related to the partial divestment of shares and remeasurement of the residual interest in Axione in 20186 €341m in 2019 versus €22m in 20187 WCR related to operating activities8 Net debt / shareholders’ equity      

Bouygues Telecom will continue to leverage its differentiation strategy (quality of networks and customer experience, as well as brand appeal). In 2020, it is aiming for:      Growth in sales from services at around 5%;

      Free cash flow9 of over €300 million, with increasing investment (expected gross capex of €1.1 to €1.2 billion excluding frequencies) required to expand 4G mobile capacity and start rolling out 5G.

In 2020, the Bouygues group will continue to pursue its sustainable growth strategy:

• Free cash flow generation after WCR10 of €1 billion with the contribution from all three sectors of activity;
• Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Definition of a target compatible with the Paris Agreement (to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5°C) and preparation of an action plan by the Group’s five business segments in 2020.

DETAILED ANALYSIS BY SECTOR OF ACTIVITY

CONSTRUCTION BUSINESSES

The backlog in the construction businesses remained stable at a very high level of €33 billion (versus €33.1 billion at end-2018). At constant exchange rates and excluding main disposals and acquisitions, it was slightly down by 1%.

In France, the backlog decreased 2%11 to €13.8 billion. This reflects:

• A stable backlog at Bouygues Construction of €8.6 billion at end-2019;
• A 2%11 decrease in the backlog at Colas to €3.1 billion at end-2019 due to a slowdown in order intake in the latter part of the year linked to the forthcoming municipal elections in March 2020;
• An 11% decrease in the backlog at Bouygues Immobilier to €2.1 billion, due to a decline in residential property reservations in a stable housing market. Bouygues Immobilier was affected by a lower supply in a market hit by delays in obtaining building permits linked to the forthcoming municipal elections in March 2020.

Internationally, the backlog was €19.2 billion at end-2019, a year-on-year increase of 1%11. It includes some significant orders taken in fourth-quarter 2019: the construction by Bouygues Construction of a 3.4‑kilometer subsea road tunnel in Hong Kong, worth €756 million, the construction and maintenance by Colas of a network of Rapid Bus Transit system in French Guiana, worth €180 million, and the execution by Colas Rail of the first phase of work on railway lines for Network Rail in the United Kingdom, worth €553 million.International business represented 62% of the combined backlog of Bouygues Construction and Colas at end-2019, versus 61% at end-2018.

9 Free cash flow = net cash flow (determined after (i) cost of net debt, (ii) interest expense on lease obligations and (iii) income taxes paid), minus net capital expenditure and repayments of lease obligations. It excludes 5G frequencies. It is calculated before changes in working capital requirements (WCR) related to operating activities and excluding 5G frequencies.

10 Free cash flow after WCR = net cash flow (determined after (i) cost of net debt, (ii) interest expense on lease obligations and (iii) income taxes paid), minus net capital expenditure and repayments of lease obligations. It is calculated after changes in working capital requirements (WCR) related to operating activities and excluding 5G frequencies11 At constant exchange rates and excluding main disposals and acquisitions

Sales in the construction businesses were €29.6 billion in 2019, up 6% year-on-year and up 4% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates.

Current operating profit was €910 million in 2019, versus €941 million in 2018. Excluding Axione, it was up €75 million year-on-year and the current operating margin improved slightly to 3.1%, versus 3% in 2018.

Current operating profit improved sharply at Colas, up €60 million year-on-year, driven by the good performance of the roads activity in mainland France and the return to breakeven at Colas Rail. As a result, Colas’ current operating margin increased 0.4 points to 3.2% year-on-year.

Current operating profit at Bouygues Construction was stable in 2019 versus 2018, and up €106 million restated for Axione. This improvement was due to recovery of the current operating margin at the Energies and Services arm (2.1% in 2019 versus -0.4% in 2018) following the adjustment measures introduced in the last year.

At Bouygues Immobilier, commercial property deals signed at the end of the year significantly boosted current operating profit and current operating margin in fourth-quarter 2019 (5.2% versus 2.6% in the first nine months of 2019).

The Bouygues group has been building up an extensive portfolio of sustainable construction solutions for more than 15 years. It has focused its climate strategy on seeking innovative, low-carbon solutions for its customers as well as reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with its activities.The construction businesses continued to innovate in 2019 and consolidated their leadership position in sustainable construction. In Strasbourg, for example, Bouygues Immobilier delivered France’s tallest apartment building made entirely out of timber. The company was awarded the BBCA low-carbon label for the Enjoy project, France’s largest timber-frame positive-energy office building. The first smart city project in France was inaugurated in Dijon, operated by a consortium led by Bouygues Energies & Services. In Lyon, Bouygues Construction started work on Office Switch Home, a circular-economy project for a reversible building with offices that can easily be converted into homes. Colas started to market Wattway Pack, a turnkey solution for an autonomous power outlet installed on the road. Using solar power, it provides an energy supply for a range of road-related services such as power charging stations and connected services.

TF1                                                                                                                                                  

The TF1 group’s audience share among key targets stabilized at a high level in 2019, with 32.6% of women under 50 who are purchasing decision-makers and 29.4% of individuals aged 25 to 49.

2019 sales reached €2,337 million, up 2% versus 2018, supported by external growth. Advertising sales were almost stable at €1,658 million, while sales from other activities rose €53 million to €679 million versus 2018.

Current operating profit in 2019 was €255 million, a year-on-year increase of €56 million. The current operating margin rose 2.2 points to 10.9%, allowing TF1 to achieve its 2019 target of double-digit current operating margin. The increase in current operating profit reflected not only sales growth but also TF1’s ability to keep the cost of programs under tight control (€985 million at end-2019, versus €1,014 million in 2018).

BOUYGUES TELECOM

Bouygues Telecom maintained strong commercial momentum.The company had 11.5 million mobile plan customers excluding MtoM at end-December 2019, an increase of 653,000 new customers during the year, of which 152,000 were in the fourth-quarter 2019.

Bouygues Telecom had 1 million FTTH customers, with 427,000 new adds over the year, of which 142,000 were in the fourth-quarter 2019 alone. The FTTH penetration rate rose to 25% at end-2019, versus 16% a year earlier. The company had a total of 3.9 million fixed customers at 31 December 2019.

Bouygues Telecom reported sales of €6,058 million in 2019, up 13% year-on-year and up 12% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. It includes an 8% increase in sales from services to €4,597 million versus 2018. This increase reflected growth in both the mobile and the fixed customer base, as well as higher ABPU. For the first time since 2011, mobile ABPU increased in fourth-quarter 2019 year-on-year (up €0.5 to €19.7 per customer per month). Fixed ABPU rose €1.1 year-on-year to €27.0 per customer per month.

EBITDA after Leases showed a sharp €147-million increase year-on-year to €1,411 million in 2019. The EBITDA margin after Leases was 30.7%, up 1 point versus 2018.

Current operating profit was €540 million in 2019, up €86 million year-on-year.Operating profit decreased €166 million year-on-year to €610 million due to lower capital gains on the disposal of sites (€63 million in 2019 versus €250 million in 2018) and non-current income of €110 million booked in third-quarter 2018 related to the cancellation of fees paid for the use of 1800 MHz frequencies prior to 2018.

Gross capex was €940 million in 2019, down €302 million year-on-year.

Free cash flow reached €301 million in 2019, a year-on-year increase of €109 million. Bouygues Telecom therefore achieved its free cash flow target announced in 2017.

For over 20 years, the teams at Bouygues Telecom have made every effort to ensure that technology brings friends and family closer together, strengthens ties and creates new ones. By leveraging its differentiation strategy, Bouygues Telecom offers customers high-quality mobile and fixed networks, as well as a simple, seamless experience.Mobile network sharing in less dense area ensures that Bouygues Telecom’s services are accessible in the least densely populated parts of the country. For the second year in a row, Bouygues Telecom was recognized by the French telecom regulator Arcep12 as the number one mobile operator in rural areas in France and the second one on average nationwide.Bouygues Telecom is keeping pace with new usage developments  and covers 99% of the population with 4G from 21,000 mobile sites at the end of 2019. It expects to have over 28,000 sites by the end of 2023.In the fixed segment, Bouygues Telecom had nearly 12 million FTTH premises marketed at the end of 2019 and has raised its target for the end of 2022 from 20 million to 22 million.Bouygues Telecom also intends to accelerate its development in the BtoB segment, offering a comprehensive range of fixed and mobile solutions to meet the needs of business customers. Building strategic partnerships to develop innovative services and taking advantage of its share of the mobile market, it seeks to increase its market share among major accounts and mid-size businesses. Bouygues Telecom also aims to increase its market share among SMEs and micro businesses by capitalizing on FTTO13 infrastructure in very dense area and the recent acquisitions of Keyyo and Nerim.

12 Arcep surveys of October 2018 and October 201913 Fiber-To-The-Office

Continuing its strategy of optimizing infrastructure management, Bouygues Telecom has launched two projects.

• Project Saint Malo aims at rolling out a nationwide optical fiber infrastructure (FTTA14 and FTTO) to address the data usage growth of its networks. The goal is to connect Bouygues Telecom’s network equipment (mobile antennas and central offices) with optical fiber so the company can offer very-high-speed broadband services to business users. Bouygues Telecom is negotiating with a partner to roll-out, market and manage the infrastructure operations in a joint venture with Bouygues Telecom as a minority shareholder. The project is worth around €1 billion over seven years. A long-term service agreement will then be concluded between Bouygues Telecom and the joint venture.
• The aim of the second project, Asterix, is to accelerate Bouygues Telecom’s FTTH roll-out in medium dense area. A joint venture with Bouygues Telecom as a minority shareholder will buy from Orange the FTTH connections in tranches of 5% of completed lines on one area in keeping with growth in the number of customers. Bouygues Telecom will have access to this infrastructure through a long-term service agreement with the joint venture. Bouygues Telecom will also transfer existing co-investment contracts to the joint venture, that will buy the FTTH connections currently leased by Bouygues Telecom from Orange. A call for tenders has been launched in order to choose a partner.

ALSTOM

As announced, Alstom’s contribution to the Group’s net profit was €238 million for the year, versus a contribution of €230 million in 2018. The contribution included a net capital gain of €172 million on the sale of 13% of Alstom’s share capital in September 2019.

Furthermore, on 17 February 2020, Alstom announced the signature of a memorandum of understanding with Bombardier Inc. and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec to acquire Bombardier Transportation. Bouygues has expressed its support for the deal and has committed to:

• maintain its stake in Alstom until the Extraordinary general meeting related to the transaction or, at the latest, until 31 October 2020;
• vote in favour of all related resolutions at that Extraordinary general meeting to be held no later than 31 October 2020.

2019 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Because of the reclassification of lease payments as amortization expense and interest expense, and the new presentation of lease expenses in the financial statements, the Group has adopted new financial indicators to continue to reflect the operating nature of lease expenses (see glossary on page 14): “EBITDA after Leases”, “Current operating profit after Leases” and “Operating profit after Leases”. “Free cash flow”, “Free cash flow after WCR” and “Net financial debt” have also been redefined.
