* Lagardère Publishing Turnover

Turnover amounts to € 1,000 million, ie + 0.5% in data comparable (- 1,9% in consolidated data).

In the first half of 2018, activity increased slightly, mainly driven by growth in literature in France and the good performance of the Fascicules. These positive elements made it possible to offset the unfavorable comparison effect related to the school year in Spain in 2017.

The figures below are on a like-for-like basis.

In France, growth (+ 2.5% ) is driven mainly by the General Literature with the success of The Girl and the Night of Guillaume Musso and the very good dynamics of the Livre de Poche. Distribution is also growing and enjoying a bestselling effect.

The United Kingdom area is down slightly (-2.5%), the success of Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury at Little, Brown Book Group not allowing to mitigate the decline of the frontlist observed at Headline and Hodder.

In the United States, the activity is growing (+ 1.4%) with in particular the success of The President is Missing co-writes by James Patterson and Bill Clinton and a new program of innovations at Perseus, offsetting the downturn in Nashville which benefited from the success of The Shackde Paul Young in the first half of 2017.

The decline in activity in Spain / Latin America (- 5 , 1%) is explained by an unfavorable comparison effect compared to the first half of 2017, which benefited from an earlier and larger school campaign in Spain. Excluding this effect, the activity remains stable.

The Fascicles maintain a good momentum (+ 2.7%) thanks to the continued success of the fund collections, particularly in Latin America, and to a launch program in France and France. Italy.

In the first half of 2018, the weight of the Digital Book in Lagardère Publishing's total turnover stood at 8.4% compared to 8.8% at the end of June 2017.

Résop

Le Résop amounted to € 40 million, down € 1 million. The good momentum recorded by the General Literature in France and a better profitability in the United States only partially compensate for the withdrawal of activity in Spain (penalized by an early and larger school campaign in 2017), as well as the slight decline in activity in the United Kingdom

* Lagardère Travel Retail Turnover

Turnover amounted to € 1,724 million, or + 9.9% like-for-like (+ 5%). 9% on a consolidated basis). The difference between the consolidated and comparable data is explained by an unfavorable exchange rate effect of – € 60 million, mainly due to the decline of the US dollar, and a negative scope effect (- € 4 million). €) related to the disposal of the Press Distribution business in Hungary, partly offset by the integration of IFS Duty Free points of sale in Poland

The figures below are comparable.

In the first half of 2018, the Travel Retail's businesses posted sustained growth of + 9.9%, driven by good sales performance, network expansion and the opening of new sales outlets in the EMEA and Asia-Pacific zones.

France, activity remains slightly higher (+ 1.4%), benefiting in particular from a favorable network effect in Restoration which more than compensates for the negative impact of the transport strikes.

The solid progression (+13 , 4%) in the EMEA zone (excluding France) is mainly related to good sales performance in Eastern Europe and to the growth of networks in Switzerland (Geneva), Poland (Gdansk) and Senegal (Dakar).

North America shows a good momentum (+ 2.7%) driven by the growth of the Restoration as well as by sustained traffic, despite an adverse network effect in the short term.

Asia-Pacific is recording very strong growth (+3 2.1%). Asia continues to benefit from the opening of Hong Kong's new concession and the development of the Fashion and Restoration business in China. The Pacific, for its part, is driven by the good performance of Australia and the effect of renovations of Auckland's Duty Free outlets in New Zealand.

Resop

The Resop is established € 34 million, up + € 2 million, driven by organic business growth in EMEA (particularly in Italy and Poland) and North America, as well as one-off savings, offsetting unfavorable impact strikes in France and the start-up costs of new activities

* Lagardère Active Turnover

Turnover amounted to € 429 million, or -1.5% like-for-like (+ 0.5% in consolidated data). The difference between these two variations is explained by a positive scope effect (+ € 8m) mainly related to the acquisitions of Aito Media Group in October 2017 and Skyhigh TV in March 2018.

The figures below are on a comparable basis.

In the first half In 2018, activity continued thanks to the good performance of international radio, TV activities and the positive momentum of pure digital and B2B activities, which offset the limited contraction in Press revenues and the effects of declining audience ratings. Europe 1.

La Presse Magazine shows resistance with a slight decline (-3.3%) in a context of degraded advertising and diffusion markets. Advertising revenues are in contraction (-6.7%), while broadcasting revenues show a near stability (-1.2%).

Radiosfont state a withdrawal of -3.3%, the good performance of international radio stations attenuating the effects of European 1 audience declines over the period.

The TV business strengthens its positive momentum (+ 1.5%), driven in particular by an increase in TV and TV advertising revenues. the successful execution of international program deliveries for Lagardère Studios

Pure digital and B2B activities posted good growth (+ 3.1%), particularly related to e-Health activities (MonDocteur). [19659002] Lagardère Active's advertising revenue, excluding international radio, was down 6.1%.

Resop

Resop totaled € 33 million, up € 1 million. The improvement in margins and the pursuit of press savings plans, as well as the good performance of international radio stations, helped to offset the poor performance of Europe 1 and the impact of Lagardère's unfavorable business mix. Studios

* Lagardère Sports and Entertainment Turnover

Revenues amounted to € 213 million, or -6.4% on a comparable basis (-8.6% on a consolidated basis). The difference between the consolidated and comparable data is explained by a negative currency effect (- € 8 million) mainly due to the fall of the US dollar and a positive scope effect (+ € 3 million) related to the acquisition of Brave Marketing Ltd in 2017.

As expected, the contraction in sales is mainly due to an unfavorable calendar effect on football activity compared to the first half of 2017, during which the African Cup of Total Nations and qualifying matches in A The success of Phil Collins' tour of France in 2017 means lower comparative revenues for Lagardère Live Entertainment in 2018. This contraction is partially offset by the good performance of the Paris Games. Commonwealth Gold Coast 2018, the dynamics of sponsorship activities in Europe as well as the activity of the new theaters (Bordeaux Métropole Arena and Arena du Pays d'Aix)

Résop

Le Résop stands at 29 M € , a slight decrease of – € 2 million. This change reflects the negative impact of the calendar effect observed mainly in Africa and Asia, partially offset by the good performance of the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and the performance of the sponsorship activities. in Europe.

* Other activities The Resop other activities amounted to – € 4 million, stable compared to the first half of 2017, as the continuation of the structural cost reduction plan made it possible to comp an adverse comparison effect compared to 2017, which had benefited from VAT recovery.
