GENERAL INFORMATION

Faiveley Transport is a French public limited company (société anonyme) with a Management Board and a Supervisory Board. At 30 September 2016, its registered office was located at:

Immeuble le Delage, Hall Parc, Bâtiment 6A

3 rue du 19 mars 1962

92230 - GENNEVILLIERS, France

The consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Management Board and submitted for approval to the shareholders at the General Meeting.

The 2015/16 financial statements have been submitted for approval at the Shareholders’ General Meeting of 30 September 2016.

The interim financial statements were approved by the Management Board at its meeting on 17 November 2016. They were presented to and reviewed by the Supervisory Board at its meeting on 17 November 2016.

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Faiveley Transport Group operates as a going concern.

The Group’s functional and presentation currency is the Euro. Figures are expressed in thousands of Euros unless indicated otherwise.

NOTE 2:

HIGHLIGHTS

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

•

At 30 September 2016, the process for applying to the European Commission for authorisation of the Faiveley Transport / Wabtec combination was ongoing. Following the formal notification submitted on 4 April 2016, on 12 May 2016 the European Commission opened an in-depth investigation (Phase 2) regarding certain segments which could be affected by the combination. In the United States, the Department of Justice is continuing the additional information (“second request”) proceedings in relation to the planned acquisition. In this context, the acquisition of a controlling interest from the Faiveley family by Wabtec is expected in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the proposed public offer will be filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF – French financial markets authority) in the weeks following this change in control.

•

In order to meet the regulatory requirements of the process of combining with Wabtec, Faiveley Group has decided to dispose of its two subsidiaries “Amsted Rail – Faiveley LLC” and “Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers”. This disposal is highly probable and should take place during 2017. These subsidiaries have therefore been reclassified as a group of assets held for sale (see Notes 4, 8 and 33).

•

The Combined General Meeting of 30 September 2016 decided to change the financial year-end and to set it as 31 December of each year. As a result, the current financial year will exceptionally last for nine months.

NOTE 3:

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

BASIS OF PREPARATION

In application of regulation 1606/2002 (EC) of the European Union, the consolidated financial statements of the Faiveley Transport Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), as adopted by the European Union.

The condensed consolidated financial statements at 30 September 2016 have been prepared in accordance with “IAS 34 Interim financial reporting”, which allows the presentation of selected notes. The condensed consolidated financial statements must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2016.

Except for the new standards and interpretations presented below, the accounting principles used for the preparation of the half-year financial statements are unchanged from those used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at 31 March 2016 as detailed in the consolidated financial statements published at that date.

The Group made presentation adjustments in order to improve the readability and clarity of the information presented in the cash flow statement. From now on, the “Premiums (paid) received on hedge instruments” are restated for the self-financing capacity in order to be presented on a separate line under cash flow from financing activities.

Changes in accounting policies due to new standards and interpretations of mandatory application for interim periods and financial years starting on or after 1 April 2016

New standards of mandatory application

•

Equity method in separate financial statements (amendments to IAS 27)

•

Disclosure initiative (amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of financial statements”)

•

Recognition of acquisitions of interests in joint operations (amendments to IFRS 11)

•

Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation (amendments to IAS 16 – Property, plant and equipment and IAS 38 – Intangible assets)

•

Annual improvements to IFRS 2012-2014

These mandatory texts applicable from 1 April 2016 had no significant impact on the Group’s financial statements.

New standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union, the application of which is not yet mandatory

•

Revenue from contracts with customers (IFRS 15): published in May 2014 and ratified by EU Regulation of 22 September 2016, it provides a new framework for recognising revenue. IFRS 15 will replace current standards relating to the recognition of revenue, notably IAS 18 – Revenue, IAS 11 – Construction contracts, and associated interpretations when they become applicable. The standard applies from financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early application from 1 January 2017 is permitted.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the European Union, the application of which is not yet mandatory

•

Classification and measurement of financial assets (IFRS 9)

•

Regulatory deferral accounts (IFRS 14)

•

Investment entities: Application of the consolidation exemption, (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 )

•

Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture (amendments to IAS 28 and IFRS 10)

•

Recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses (IAS 12)

•

Amendment to IAS 7 “Cash flow statement”

•

IFRS 16 “Leases”

•

Amendments to IFRS 2 “Classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions”

•

Amendments to IFRS 4: Applying IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” with IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”.

The impact of these new texts on the consolidated financial statements is currently being analysed by the Group.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles and policies as have been applied to the annual financial statements. However, in relation to interim financial statements and pursuant to IAS 34, unless otherwise specified certain estimates may be based on assumptions to a greater extent than annual financial data. Concerning the interim financial statements, the significant accounting estimates and assumptions relate to the valuation of the provision for employee benefits, the valuation of the income tax charge and the estimation of the R&D Tax Credit.

INTERIM BALANCE SHEET DATE

All companies are consolidated on the basis of financial statements drawn up at 30 September 2016.

NOTE 4:

CHANGES IN CONSOLIDATION SCOPE AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

ADDITION TO THE SCOPE

The Group consolidates its Moroccan subsidiary “Faiveley Transport Service Maroc” as of 1 April 2016 following the growth of its activity. The consolidation of this entity does not have any material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group.

ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of minority interests

In application of the terms and conditions of the agreement of 23 December 2014 between Faiveley Transport and the minority shareholders in Faiveley Transport Schweiz AG, the legal and financial transfer of 10% of shares held by minority shareholders to Faiveley Transport took place on 7 April 2016, thereby increasing Faiveley Transport’s equity investment in Faiveley Transport Schweiz AG to 100%.

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

At 30 September 2016, the main group of assets to be sold primarily related to the subsidiaries Amsted Rail-Faiveley LLC and Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers, the disposal of which is necessary in order to meet the regulatory requirements related to the combination with Wabtec.

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 5, all the assets and liabilities directly connected with the two subsidiaries intended for sale were respectively presented under the items “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities related to assets held for sale” in the consolidated balance sheet at 30 September 2016.

Impairment losses resulting from the classification under the group of assets held for sale are reported in the income statement under “Impairment of assets” for a total amount of €63 million.

The accounting impacts of the classification under assets held for sale are presented in “Note 8 – Assets held for sale” and reflect the current best estimate of Management, taking into account current discussions. They will be finalised following completion of the transactions, which is expected in the coming months.

NOTE 5:

GOODWILL

Goodwill mainly arose from the acquisition of subsidiaries and the purchase of minority interests in Faiveley SA by the holding company Faiveley Transport in 2008; these two companies have since merged into the current Faiveley Transport parent company.

This goodwill was calculated in accordance with the partial goodwill method.

Faiveley Group Management monitors its business performance by entity or group of entities, which generally correspond to a major area of specialisation. Goodwill has been allocated to the companies or groups acquired, except for goodwill arising from the purchase of minority interests which is monitored as a whole at Group level.

These movements are due to the translation difference on goodwill recognised in US Dollars: Graham-White Manufacturing Co. (USD 98,224 K) and Amsted Rail-Faiveley LLC (USD 34,359 K) / Ellcon National Inc. (USD 10,658 K).

(2)

These movements are due to the translation difference on goodwill recognised in CHF: Faiveley Transport Schweiz AG (CHF 2,910 K) and Schwab Verkehrstechnik AG (CHF 26,859 K).

As part of the process of combining with Wabtec, the goodwill attached to the “Amsted Rail-Faiveley LLC” and “Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers” groups of assets was reclassified as held for sale as of 30 September 2016 for a total of €44,255 K (see Note 8).

In accordance with IAS 36, the Group carried out an analysis aimed at identifying potential indications of impairment on CGUs that were not classified as held for sale at 30 September 2016. No indication of impairment was identified.

The €2.7 million increase in “Goodwill” over the first half year was due to currency fluctuations.

The reduction in “Other intangible assets” mainly results from the classification of the value of sales agency agreements (USD 11.5 million) – which form part of the “Amsted Rail-Faiveley LLC” group of assets – as “held for sale”.

At 30 September 2016, intangible assets were broken down as follows:

•

Development costs: development costs incurred as part of technical innovation projects that comply with the IAS 38 capitalisation criteria. These costs are amortised over a period of 3 years.

•

Concessions, patents and licences: this item mainly includes IT software amortised over a maximum period of 10 years.

•

Other intangible assets primarily include:

•

The value of the customer portfolio contributed by the acquisition of Graham-White Manufacturing Co. of €3.0 million (USD 3.3 million).

•

The value of the customer portfolio contributed by the acquisition of Schwab, of a gross amount of €5.7 million (CHF 6.2 million) and expertise of €0.8 million (CHF 0.9 million)

•

Costs corresponding to the implementation of a major IT system integration programme, totalling a gross amount of €17.7 million the objective of which is to optimise organisations, processes, tools and the sharing of technical data within the Faiveley Transport Group.

Treasury shares

Faiveley Transport held 89,437 treasury shares as at 30 September 2016 (155,390 at 31 March 2016). This reduction was due to the allocation in July 2016 of 65,833 shares as part of the Free share allocation plan of 02/07/2014, and the anticipated allocation of 120 shares as part of the Free share allocation plan of 15/01/2013.

Translation differences

Translation differences comprise mainly the gains and losses resulting from the translation of the equity of subsidiaries the functional currency of which is not the Euro.

The translation differences presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income primarily reflect the change in the US dollar, for a positive €1.5 million, and the Pound Sterling, for a negative €3.7 million, against the Euro at 30 September 2016.

•

The distribution of dividends by “Amsted Rail – Faiveley LLC” for €5.9 million;

•

The €9.5 million impairment loss recorded by the company “Amsted Rail – Faiveley LLC”;

Including exchange differences of € (690) K

PROVISIONS FOR RETIREMENT COMMITMENTS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Provisions for retirement benefits are calculated using the projected unit credit method and based on the following assumptions:

•

The charge recognised for the period is equal to half the estimated annual charge for the 2016/17 financial year,

•

Benefits paid on retirement or as contributions to pension plans have been recognised on an actual basis,

•

Since the discount and inflation rates changed significantly over the period, the actuarial loss generated by the valuation of pension commitments has been recognised under Items of other comprehensive income, for €8.1 million.

Actuarial assumptions:

The actuarial assumptions used to measure commitments take into account the demographic and financial conditions specific to each country or Group company.

Discount rates are determined by reference to the yields on AAA bonds with similar durations to those of the commitments as at the valuation date (Bloomberg Corporate AA 15 years for France and Germany and Iboxx 15+ for the UK).

The assumptions used for those countries with the most significant commitments are shown in the following table:


	30 September 2016									31 March 2016
	France			Germany			United Kingdom			France			Germany			United Kingdom
Discount rate		1.00	%		1.00	%		2.15	%		1.45	%		1.45	%		3.45	%

NOTE 19:

BORROWINGS AND FINANCIAL DEBT

In respect of all its sources of financing, Faiveley Transport Group must now comply with the following three financial conditions (as defined in the various financing agreements):

•

Leverage ratio “Consolidated Net Debt/Consolidated EBITDA”, which must be below 3.

•

Gearing ratio “Consolidated Net Debt/Equity”, which must be below 1.5

•

“Consolidated EBITDA/Cost of Consolidated Net Financial Debt”, which must exceed 3.5.

Non-compliance with one of these covenants may result in the debt becoming immediately repayable.

At 30 September 2016, ratios were as follows for the various sources of financing:


At 30 September 2016	Syndicated credit		US private placement		SCHULDSCHEIN loan
“Consolidated Net Debt/Consolidated EBITDA” ratio		1.37		1.45		1.42

In economic terms, net debt should be reduced by the value of treasury shares held for sale as part of the share purchase/subscription option and free share allocation plans.

The liquidation value of these shares was €3.7 million at 30 September 2016, given the exercise prices granted for share purchase/subscription options and the average share price prevailing during the month preceding the balance sheet date for shares not allocated to these plans.

For accounting purposes, the value of treasury shares held is deducted from equity under IFRS; this amounted to €5.5 million at 30 September 2016 and €9.4 million at 31 March 2016.

NOTE 20:

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Faiveley Transport Group’s treasury policy is based on overall financial risk management principles and provides specific strategies for areas such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, raw materials risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

Within this framework, the Group also uses derivative instruments, mainly forward purchases and sales of currencies, exchange rate and interest rate swaps, interest rate options and raw material swaps. The aim of these instruments is to manage the exchange, interest rate and raw material risks associated with the Group’s activities and financing.

The Group’s policy is not to invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

The Supervisory Board of Faiveley Transport examines risk management principles as well as policies covering certain specific fields such as exchange risk, interest rate risk, raw materials risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. These policies are summarised below.

The market values of interest rate and foreign exchange derivative instruments have been determined based on period-end market prices. They have been appraised by an independent expert.

MARKET RISKS

Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates in foreign countries and is therefore exposed to exchange risk as a result of various foreign currency exposures.

The main currencies concerned are the US Dollar, the Hong Kong Dollar, the Czech Koruna, the Swedish Krona, the Pound Sterling and the Chinese Yuan.

The management of exchange risk on commercial contracts is centralised in the parent company’s Treasury Department and comprises two parts: certain and uncertain risk.

•

Exchange risk management relating to tenders in foreign currencies (uncertain risk):

Faiveley Transport Group is required to submit tenders denominated in foreign currencies. The Group’s hedging policy is not to use hedge instruments during the offer phase, unless specifically authorised by Management. The aim is to manage the exchange risk through normal commercially available means. If necessary, the Group Treasury Department would mainly use exchange options.

•

Exchange risk management relating to commercial contracts (certain risk):

Commercial contracts in foreign currencies (most often successful tenders) are hedged by the Group Treasury Department from contractual commitment. The instruments used primarily include forward purchases and exchange rate swaps. Treasury may also use options.

•

Exchange risk management relating to other transactions:

The Group’s policy is to systematically hedge the full value of future transactions expected in every major currency. The minimum trigger threshold for a foreign exchange hedge is €250 K.

Various cash flows are hedged for a minimum of 80% of the annual budget.

In addition to commercial contracts, all financial positions and management fees deemed significant are hedged.

Interest rate risks

The syndicated debt, excluding the revolving facility, is indexed on Euribor variable rates. The “SSD Schuldschein” private placement includes several maturities, some of which are indexed on a variable rate, others bearing a fixed rate. This debt may be hedged in accordance with the Group’s interest rate risk policy. All revolving facilities, drawn or undrawn, bear a variable rate and are not subject to interest hedges. The same applies to the US private placement bond issue, which bears a fixed rate.

To manage its risk, the Treasury Department has implemented a hedging strategy using interest rate swaps, tunnels, caps and options.

The exposure to interest rates on loans in Euros is hedged for 91% of the drawn debt, depending on interest rate fluctuations during the current financial year.

The US dollar denominated debt comprising the “US Private Placement” bond issue exclusively bears fixed rates.

The estimated cost of the Euro-denominated syndicated debt and “Schuldschein” loan is 1.58 % for the 2016/2017 period, hedges and spreads included. The estimated cost of the US-denominated debt is estimated at 4.85%. The total cost of the Group’s debt for 2016/2017 is therefore estimated at 2.16%.

Raw material risk

The Faiveley Transport Group is exposed to increases in the cost of raw materials such as steel, aluminium and copper, as well as to increases in transportation costs.

The Group has already anticipated these effects, through both its procurement policy and the preparation of its commercial offers. Certain contracts relating to projects include price indexation clauses which enable the Group to pass on a part of the increases in raw material costs.

Future release of amounts recorded in equity at 30 September 2016:

The amount of €(687) K recorded in equity in respect of interest rate derivatives will be released to the income statement between 1 October 2016 and 31 March 2021 according to the maturity of the flows hedged.

The amount of €(4) K recorded in equity in respect of exchange rate derivatives will be transferred to the income statement for the year ending 31 December 2016.

The amount of €8 K recorded in equity in relation to raw material derivatives will be transferred to the income statement for the year ending 31 December 2016.

CREDIT RISK

Owing to its commercial activities, Faiveley Transport Group is exposed to credit risk, in particular the risk of default on the part of its customers.

The Group only enters into commercial relationships with third parties whose financial position is known to be healthy. The Group’s policy is to verify the financial health of those customers wishing to obtain credit.

In the case of derivative instruments and cash transactions, counterparties are limited to the high-quality financial institutions that currently finance the Group.

Faiveley Transport Group makes use of factoring arrangements in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and China. In addition, at the request of major customers, the Group participates in two reverse factoring programmes in Canada, Germany, the UK and the US.

Factoring enables the Group to sell, without recourse, part of its receivables to various factoring companies and banks. This selling without recourse has enabled the Group to improve trade receivables recovery and to transfer the risk of default or bankruptcy on the part of customers or other debtors to the factors.

At 30 September 2016, receivables sold without recourse totalled €79.7 million, including €26.6 million for reverse factoring programmes implemented at the request of customers. The total amount of receivables sold without recourse was €95.7 million at 31 March 2016.

The amount of receivables factored and not guaranteed was €0.2 million.

As regards the risk associated with financial assets, the Group’s maximum exposure is equal to their book value.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Prudent liquidity risk management requires the Group to retain a sufficient level of cash and securities that can be traded in a market, to have adequate financial resources due to the implementation of appropriate credit facilities and to be in a position to unwind positions in the market.

At 30 September 2016, the Group had €125 million in undrawn confirmed credit facilities.

At 30 September 2016, the Group complied with all financial conditions required by all credit agreements.

The Group considers that the cash flows generated by its operating activities, cash and funds available via existing credit lines will be sufficient to cover the expenditure and investment necessary for its operations, to service its debt and to pay dividends. Conversely, the Group may have to borrow to finance potential acquisitions.

NOTE 22:

FACTORING

In order to diversify the Group’s sources of financing and reduce the credit risk, several subsidiaries factor their receivables. At 30 September 2016, the assignment of receivables to the various factors resulted in a €79,679 K reduction in “Trade receivables”. These transactions include factoring contracts without recourse as requested by two Group customers, totalling €26,545 K.

In addition, available and uncalled cash with the factoring companies amounted to €46,653 K and is included in cash and cash equivalents. Conversely, the portion of receivables factored and not guaranteed was recorded as financial debt under “Current borrowings and financial liabilities” for an amount of €226 K. The risk incurred by the Group in respect of receivables factored and not guaranteed relates to the non-collection of these receivables.

NOTE 23:

SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group opted for a presentation similar to IAS 14, pursuant to IFRS 8, consisting of presenting information for the rail operating segment.

NET FINANCIAL EXPENSE		(4,902	)		(4,463	)

The net cost of financial debt for the period was €4.7 million, compared with €5.1 million in the previous period. The Group benefited from lower interest rates on the markets as well as a more favourable interest rate hedge portfolio.

The foreign exchange gain for the financial year, including charges and income related to currency fluctuations and financial income, was €0.5 million. This virtually neutral impact was due to the limited cumulative effects of matured and unrealised swaps over the period as well as a minor exchange gain on unhedged items.

NOTE 29:

INCOME TAX

In accordance with IAS 34, the income tax charge is determined by applying the projected effective tax rate for the entire financial year to the pre-tax profit for the first half-year. This effective rate is set on the basis of internal forecasts entity by entity.

The negative effective tax rate of 24.3% was mainly due to the impacts of non-tax deductible impairment losses recorded over the period.

The effective tax rate for the first half of 2016 before the impact of impairment losses was 32.0% (against 33.7% over the first half of 2015).

POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

•

On 1 October 2016, the vesting of free shares referred to as performance-based shares for the plan of 1 October 2015 took place. This vesting led to the issue of 135,844 new shares which automatically translated into a €135,844 increase in the share capital of Faiveley Transport. The Company’s share capital now stands at €14,756,996.

•

On 4 October 2016, Faiveley Transport announced that it had been granted conditional authorisation by the European Commission regarding the proposed combination with Wabtec. This authorisation is contingent upon the commitment to sell Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers, the subsidiary specialised in the Group’s sintered brake business. Completion of the proposed combination of Faiveley Transport and Wabtec remains therefore subject to the potential buyer of Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers being approved by the European Commission.

•

On 18 October 2016, the Management Board decided to allocate free performance-based shares to certain employees pursuant to the authorisation granted at the Extraordinary General Meeting of 30 September 2016. This involved allocating a total of 144,000 shares to 203 beneficiaries. The allocation of free shares after a period of one year is subject to the beneficiary’s employment by the Group and the fulfilment of financial and operational performance criteria.

•

On 26 October 2016, Faiveley Transport announced that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) had submitted a draft decree authorising the planned combination with Wabtec to the Washington D.C. district court. The draft decree filed by the DOJ approves the combination agreement subject to the sale of certain of Faiveley Transport’s US assets, in particular its joint venture with Amsted-Rail. The assets to be sold represent annual sales of approximately €55 million.

•

On 2 November 2016, Faiveley Transport began negotiations with an industrial company with a view to selling Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers, the Group’s sintered brakes business, which represents annual sales of approximately €12 million. The signing of the disposal agreement could take place after completion of the information-consultation procedures with the competent employee representative bodies of Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers and Faiveley Transport. Completion of the proposed combination of Faiveley Transport and Wabtec remains therefore only subject to the potential buyer of Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers being approved by the European Commission.

STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE 2016/17

CONSOLIDATED HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (PERIOD FROM 1 APRIL TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2016)

This is a free translation into English of the Statutory Auditors’ review report issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France.

To the Shareholders,

Faiveley Transport SA

Le Delage Building

3 rue du 19 mars 1962

92230 Gennevilliers

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Shareholder’s Meeting and in accordance 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 interim consolidated financial statements of Faiveley Transport, for the period from 1^st April 2016 to 30^th September 2016;

•

The verification of the information contained in the interim management report.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

I. Conclusion on the financial statements

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

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

II. Specific verification

We have also verified the information given in the interim management report on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements subject to our review. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
