Boulogne-Billancourt, 02/16/2018 - Group revenues came to €58,770 million (+14.7%), including €2,727 million for AVTOVAZ. Excluding the impact of the AVTOVAZ consolidation, Group revenues increased by 9.4% to €56,043 million (+10.1% at constant exchange rates).

  1. AVTOVAZ profit and loss account consolidated by full integration from 1st of January 2017.

                              
Automotive excluding AVTOVAZ revenues amounted to €53,530 million (+9.3%) mainly due to volume growth (+3.3 points) and to the increase in sales to partners (+2.6 points). The latter reflects the start of production of Nissan Micra in France and the positive momentum of our CKD[1] activities for Iran and China. The price effect (+1.5 points) benefits mainly from price increases related to the renewal of the range. The other effects (+2.0 points) are partly the result of the positive performance of used vehicle and spare parts activities. The currency impact is negative (0.7 points), mainly due to the devaluation of the Argentinian peso, the Turkish lira and the British pound.

The Group's operating margin amounted to €3,854 million, and represents 6.6% of revenues.

The Automotive excluding AVTOVAZ operating margin was up €363 million (+15.2%) to €2,749 million, representing 5.1% of revenues compared to 4.9% in 2016. This performance can be explained mainly by strong business growth (€493 million positive impact) and Monozukuri[2] gains (€663 million). The mix/price/enrichment effect did not benefit as much as in 2016 from price increases in emerging markets to offset currency devaluation and becomes negative at €230 million. Raw materials had a negative effect of €394 million, reflecting in large part the increase in steel prices. The negative currency impact (-€300 million) was mainly due to the devaluation of the Argentinian peso, the British pound, and the US dollar.

The operating margin of AVTOVAZ (non-consolidated in 2016) amounted to €55 million, i.e. 2.0% of its revenues.

Sales Finance contributed €1,050 million to the Group's operating margin, compared with €896 million in 2016. This 17.1% increase is mainly due to the increase in average performing assets (+18.9%), reflecting the strong sales momentum of RCI Banque.

Other operating income and expenses amounted to -€48 million (compared to +€1 million in 2016).

The Group's operating income came to €3,806 million, compared to €3,283 million in 2016 (+15.9%).

Net financial income and expenses amounted to -€504 million, compared to -€323 million in 2016. This deterioration is mainly due to the consolidation of AVTOVAZ's net financial income and expenses for -€112 million, as well as the negative impact of the value adjustment for redeemable shares (-€120 million compared to -€3 million in 2016).

The contribution of associated companies, primarily Nissan, came to €2,799 million, compared to €1,638 million in 2016. Nissan's contribution includes a non-recurring income of €1,021 million linked to the tax reform voted at the end of 2017 in the USA and to the sale of its interest in the equipment manufacturer Calsonic Kansei.

Current and deferred taxes showed a charge of €891 million.

Net income amounted to €5,210 million (+47.1%) and net income, Group share, to €5,114 million (€18.87 per share, compared with €12.57 per share in 2016). Excluding non-recurring items mentioned for Nissan, net income, Group share, would have been €4,093 million (€15.10 per share).

Automotive operational free cash flow (including AVTOVAZ) was positive at €945 million after taking into account a positive change in working capital requirements of €550 million and an increase in investments of €359 million.

At December 31, 2017, total inventories (including at the independent network) represented 57 days of sales, compared with 59 days at end-December 2016.

dividend of €3.55 per share, versus €3.15 last year, will be submitted for approval at the next Shareholders' Annual General Meeting.
