H1 2013 net sales: €917m are up (+3.1% like-for-like) thanks to:• strong activity in France (+5.5%) and in the United States (+7%), especially in

H1 2013 net sales: €471m (+0.3% like-for-like).
• Activity was driven in H1 by a high level of deliveries to date in TV Production, which is not to be extrapolated to the rest of the year.
• Good performance from Radio in France (Europe 1), a “defensive” media which partially offsets declining magazine trend.
• Overall advertising was down by 6.2%, and magazine circulation by 7.6%.• International sales grew due to the newly acquired LeGuide.com and the development
of international TV productions.

• The Asia-Pacific area enjoys a buoyant level of sales (+6.3%).• Travel Retail activities are up (+6.6% reported and +2.0% like-for-like) and overall

H1 2013 profitability
• Good performance in Duty Free and Food Services. • Despite improved product mix in news and convenience, slight decline in the Travel
Essentials profitability (Relay) due to negative print product trends.• Decrease of LS distribution results due to print decline, partially offset by cost control
and successful diversification initiatives.
Non-recurring and non-operating items mainly due to impairment of goodwill in Press Wholesale Distribution in Switzerland (€30m).

H1 2013 net sales: €204m (-7.1% like-for-like). This trend in sales reflects:
• in Asia the expected negative calendar effect, and the sales accounting impact of the new commission based AFC** contract (vs. buy-out previously);
• a downscaling of media rights trading business in Europe…• …which is partially offset by a good momentum in marketing activities, notably for
German football clubs.

H1 2013 operating profitability
• Profits are up due mainly to the -€22m provision booked in H1 2012 for the IOC** contract.
• In addition, the trend in profitability reflects the negative impacts of the unfavorable competition calendar in Asia, and of the reduction of media rights trading activity in Europe, which is partially offset by the positive contribution of German football clubs.

In a particularly depressed magazine market during the first six months of 2013, LagardèreActive maintains its leaderships on both circulation and advertising.
AdvertisingThe print advertising revenue declined by -8.8%1 in the first half of 2013 which is consistent with the magazine market. However, most of the Lagardère Active magazines such as Elle, Elle Décoration, Télé 7 Jours or Parents stay strong leaders on their competitive sets and gain market shares.
CirculationOverall, the circulation revenue is down by -7.2%1. The subscription revenue partially offset the newsstand decline. During the first months of the year, strikes at Presstalis disturbed the distribution network and thus weakened the newsstand sales.
Significant events• Elle received the 2013 Best magazine brand award rewarding its global brand strategy development on new
media (web, tablets and mobile phones) and also new fields (special events, services…).• Development of the international licence business with the launch of Elle in Australia. It will be the first
multimedia launch combining a website to be launched in August and the magazine in September. The advertising potential is promising since the booked order as of today is higher than expected.
• Public celebrated in June its 10th anniversary. The brand continues to grow on digital (+14% UVs2 vs. 2012) and became leader of the celebrity market on all digital media: websites, mobile phones and apps.
• In May, Paris Match enhanced its editorial offer revamping the magazine itself with a new layout and new sections and bringing to market a new website using the responsive design technology.

The listening time lengthened to reach two hours long (+2 minutes1).Over the April-June survey period, Europe 1’s listnership has reached its top level since 2006. This sharp increasecompared to the previous survey period (+0.5 point)2 confirms the strategy initiated by the radio station.

• Europe1.fr: The website stabilised its audience with a monthly average of 2.1 million unique visitors3 during H1 2013. Europe1.fr remains the most podcasted French radio.

basis (audience share at 3.5%, average audience at 7.3% i.e. +12% and +155,000 listeners1).

development of the brand.

Background
The rise (+2.3%)1 in passenger traffic worldwide has significantly dropped, after a gradual slowdown in the second half of 2012. Domestic and intra-European traffic were particularly affected.
Despite an accelerated decline in the print media markets, the effects of the economic crisis and unfavourable weather conditions, consolidated net sales at the end of June remained flat at -0.4%:• +6.6% for LS travel retail (+2% at constant rate and like-for-like basis);• -9.1% for LS distribution (-4.5% at constant rate and like-for-like basis).
In this difficult environment, project momentum remained strong and the first half of 2013 was marked by: • successful integration of the new businesses: Rome Duty Free, Airport Fashion, DFS Wellington,
Celeritas…• renewal of the French railway concession (SNCF) for 10 years following a very competitive process.• dynamic organic growth and continued efforts to modernise and diversify sales outlets:
– opening the new fashion concession in Xi’an (China), confectionery store at Hong Kong airport, the food court at Frankfurt station (10 stores);
– gain of the fashion concession at the main Spanish airports (Malaga, Madrid and Barcelona), numerous tenders in hospitals (Toulouse, Reims...) and Food Services concessions (Mulhouse, Avignon...);
– launch of the new Relay format at Paris-Orly airport, roll out of the Hubiz, So! Coffee and Trib’sconcepts.
