like-for-like)
- In France, sales declined by 7.9% to €1,490m, particularly in road construction and maintenance, but also in civil engineering given, as expected, the lesser level of activity for the Bretagne-Pays de la Loire high-speed rail line project (BPL).
- In the rest of Europe outside of France, sales increased by 9.7% to €417m, with a more than 50%
increase in Spain, where a recovery is under way.
- Outside of Europe, sales increased by 28.4% to €95m, of which €31m was contributed by recently acquired companies, mainly ICCI in Canada and Puentes y Torones in Colombia, which are both specialised in the construction of civil engineering structures.
Energy: s a les of €1 , 794m (up 15.4% on a reported basis and by 14.5% like-for-like)
- In France, sales increased by 14.9% to €1,454m, thanks notably to a ramping up of work done by the division for the BPL project and for the Cestas solar power plant in Gironde.
- In the rest of Europe outside of France, sales increased by 6.1% to €280m, thanks mainly to a
sharp recovery in orders from the private sector in Spain.

4 - PROSPECTS
The order book reached €11.9bn at 1 July 2015.
This represents a decrease of 3.3% compared with 1 July 2014 (or a 1.7% increase excluding the BPL project), but an increase by 1.5% in the three months to 1 July 2015 and is equivalent to 12.2 months of activity for the Contracting divisions.
The results for the first half of 2015 will be approved by the Board of Directors of Eiffage on 26 August
2015 and published after trading hours that day.
Given the material impact on the first-half financial statements of the application of the IFRIC 21 interpretation (neutral for the full year results), the restatement of comparatives for the first half of 2014 is provided below.
The IFRIC 21 interpretation modified, notably, the timing of the recognition of liabilities relating to the payment of certain taxes in France, which previously were recognised pro rata temporis over the year as a whole. The land tax is now recognised in full on 1st of July while the property tax and supplementary social security contribution paid by companies are now recognised in full during the
1st semester.
For Eiffage, the application of this interpretation, for the first half of 2014, leads to a €19m upward restatement of operating profit on ordinary activities, to €574m (reflecting an increase of €36m for Concessions and a €17m decrease for Contracting). This restatement also increased the net profit group share by €1m to €69m for the first half of 2014.
