3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

3.1. Key figures of the Group

The key figures of the Group for the first-quarter 2014 are set out in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2014 (the Interim Statements at March 31, 2014 ), which are attached as Appendix 2 to this Update.

Unless indicated otherwise, the information contained in the Interim Statements at March 31, 2014 have been provided at constant perimeter and the Enterprise business has been accounted for as a “discontinued operation” in the first-quarter 2014.

 

3.2. Financial information

 

3.2.1. Results of the first-quarter 2014

On May 9, 2014, the Company published a press release regarding its first-quarter 2014 results.

 

3.2.2. Reimbursement of bonds maturing in April 2014 and repurchases of bonds maturing in January 2016

On April 7, 2014, the Company fully reimbursed its matured 6.375% senior notes issued by Alcatel Lucent, for an amount of €274 million.

The Company also repurchased part of its 8.50% senior notes issued by Alcatel Lucent and maturing on January 15, 2016, on April 10, 2014 for an amount of €4.9 million, on May 23, 2014 for an amount of €8.5 million, on May 26, 2014 for an amount of €5 million and on May 28, 2014 for an amount of €1 million, i.e. for a global repurchase amount of €19.4 million.

 

3.3. Information on the transfers and transfer projects

On February 6, 2014, the Company announced that it had received a binding offer from China Huaxin, a technology investment company, for the acquisition of 85% of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. The proposed transaction was submitted to the workers council of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise in the context of an information and consultation procedure, which is now completed. Closing of this transaction is subject to certain other conditions, including the approval of certain regulatory authorities, and is targeted to take place in the third quarter of 2014.

On March 31, 2014, the Company completed the disposal of LGS Innovations LLC to a U.S.-based company owned by a Madison Dearborn Partners-led investor group that includes CoVant, for a cash selling price of US$104 million (€76 million). The price of US$104 million may be increased by a variable component of up to US$96 million, which will be determined based on the LGS’s results of operations for the 2014 fiscal year.

A description of the transactions referred to above and ongoing transfer projects as of March 31, 2014 is set out in notes 3 and 9 of the Interim Statements at March 31 2014 which is attached as Appendix 2 to this Update.

 

3.4. Information on outlook

The Company confirms its outlook and the objectives resulting from the Shift Plan set out in section 6.8 of the Reference Document, it being specified that the sale of LGS and the sale to come of the Enterprise business both lead to the below adjustments.

On March 31, 2014, the Group published its results with the Enterprise business accounted for as a “discontinued operation”. In addition, on March 31, 2014, the Group completed the sale of LGS; therefore, LGS is no longer a consolidated company from April 1, 2014. As a result, this segment Other, which consists of these two activities, is likely to disappear.

Table of Contents

The target of €1 billion of fixed cost savings in 2015, in comparison with 2012, remains at the same level (approximately €50 million of savings were attributable to the Enterprise business and to LGS).

The target of increasing the contribution of cash flow per segment from the Access and Other segments by more than €250 million in 2015 (approximately €50 million of savings were attributable to the Enterprise business and to LGS) is mechanically adjusted at €200 million for the segment Access.

 

3.5. Statement of indebtedness (debt and convertible debt) of the Group at March 31, 2014

For information purposes, the tables below set out the balance and maturity of the indebtedness (debt and convertible debt) of the Group at March 31, 2014.

4. RISK FACTORS

This section of the Update sets out an update of the risk factors of the Company described in the Reference Document.

 

4.1. Main clients

The Company’s ten largest customers accounted for 56% of its revenues for the first quarter of 2014 (among which Verizon, AT&T and Sprint represented 17%, 14% and 8% of its revenues, respectively) and most of its revenues come from telecommunications service providers. The loss of one or more key customers or reduced spending by these service providers could significantly reduce the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash flow.

The Company’s ten largest customers accounted for 56% of its revenues for the first quarter of 2014 (among which Verizon, AT&T and Sprint represented 17%, 14% and 8% of its revenues, respectively). As service providers increase in size, it is possible that an even greater portion of the Company’s revenues will be attributable to a smaller number of large services providers going forward. The Company’s existing customers are typically not obliged to purchase a fixed amount of products or services over any period of time from the Company and usually have the right to reduce, delay or even cancel previous orders, which could impact revenues from one reporting period to the next. The Company, therefore, has difficulty projecting future revenues from existing customers with certainty. Although historically the Company’s customers have not made sudden supplier changes, they could vary their purchases from period to period, even significantly. Combined with the Company’s reliance on a small number of large customers, this could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, profitability and cash flow. In addition, the Company’s concentration of business in the telecommunications service provider industry makes the Company extremely vulnerable to a downturn or delays in spending in that industry.

5. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

5.1. Composition of the Company’s Board of Directors

The Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting, held on May 28, 2014, (i) renewed the terms of office of Mrs Kim Crawford Goodman and Mr. Jean-Cyril Spinetta, both as independent directors, for three years until the end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting that will be called to approve the financial statements for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2016 and (ii) appointed Mrs Véronique Morali and Mr. Francesco Caio as directors, for three years until the end of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting that will be called to approve the financial statements for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2016, in replacement of Lady Sylvia Jay and Mr. Daniel Bernard, who decided not to seek the renewal of their terms of office as directors.

The composition of the Company’s Board of Directors remains unchanged with respect to the other members, for each of whom the term of office as director has not yet expired.

Paris, May 9, 2014 - Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced its first quarter 2014 results, reporting revenues of Euro 2,963 million, growing 0.3% year-on-year at constant exchange rates and comparable perimeter (except, as otherwise mentioned, all variations at constant exchange rates and perimeter, with accounting of Enterprise as a discontinued operation in Q1 2014). Revenues for the Group excluding Managed Services were up 3.9% year-on-year. Core Networking revenues grew by 6.9% in Q1 2014 compared to Q1 2013, largely driven by 16% growth in IP Routing and, to a lesser extent, by IP Transport. Excluding Managed Services, which decreased by half reflecting our strategy to terminate or restructure loss-making contracts, the Access segment grew 2.1% year-over-year.

Gross margin reached 32.3% of revenues in the quarter, improving by 410 basis points year-on-year. This improvement was driven essentially by favorable product mix and improved profitability in most business divisions.

Fixed costs savings reached Euro 143 million in Q1, bringing the total to date to Euro 478 million, when combined with Euro 335 million in 2013 (which exclude Euro 28 million attributable to Enterprise). In particular, SG&A expenses decreased by 20.8% compared to Q1 2013 and by 9.9% compared to Q4 2013. The ratio of SG&A expenses to revenues declined by 280 basis points to 12.9% in Q1 2014 compared to Q1 2013.

Adjusted operating income returned to positive territory, reaching Euro 33 million in the quarter or 1.1% of revenues, compared to Euro (179) million in Q1 2013, or -5.8% of revenues. This turnaround was driven by a significant improvement in profitability in Core Networking and a sizeable reduction of losses in Access.

Segment operating cash flow reached Euro (59) million in Q1 2014, versus Euro (279) million in Q1 2013. This improvement of Euro 220 million was driven mainly by an improvement of Euro 211 million from the Access segment. Free cash flow was Euro (398) million in the quarter and improved by Euro 146 million year-over-year.

As reported, the Group showed a net loss (Group share) of Euro (73) million in Q1 2014, or Euro (0.03) per share. The improvement of Euro 280 million compared to Q1 2013 was driven by the higher level of operating income, lower restructuring charges and a significant reduction in net financial losses.

At March 31, 2014, the Group’s overall Pensions and OPEB exposure indicated a surplus of Euro 666 million compared to a surplus of Euro 546 million at December 31, 2013 (in each case before taking into account applicable asset ceilings). The Group also announces today that it intends to implement, in 2015, a one-time offer to about 45,000 U.S. retirees and former employees and related beneficiaries who are receiving monthly pension benefit payments the opportunity to elect to convert those payments into a single, lump-sum payment. Payments to eligible participants and beneficiaries who elect to participate in the offer would constitute a complete settlement of our pension liabilities with respect to them. Payments are expected to be made from existing U.S. pension plan assets, and we do not expect to make any contributions to U.S. plan assets in connection with the offer.

As previously announced, the Group closed the sale of LGS on March 31, 2014; as a result, LGS is deconsolidated from April 1, 2014.

Also, as previously announced, we received in February 2014 a binding offer from China Huaxin for the acquisition of 85% of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise. The proposed transaction has been submitted to the workers council of Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise for the required information and consultation procedure which is now completed. Closing of this transaction is subject to certain other conditions, including the approval of certain regulatory authorities, and is targeted to take place in the third quarter of 2014.

Commenting on the first quarter results, Michel Combes, CEO of Alcatel-Lucent, said: “We began 2014 as we ended 2013 — totally focused on driving implementation of The Shift Plan. Having put the Group in the right financial direction last year we are encouraged by the continued progress shown in the first quarter of 2014. This confirms the industrial logic of the strategic choices we have made and provides a good start on which to build during the rest of 2014 as we work towards our objective of bringing the Group as a whole back to positive free cash flow by 2015.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

From a geographic standpoint, North America was down 1.0% year-over-year. Sequentially, it was down single digits, less than the typical seasonality reflecting solid spending, notably in IP and wireless. Encouraging trends in Western Europe were tempered by the impact of the implementation of our strategy in Managed Services. Asia Pacific posted almost 20% year-over-year growth, driven by activity in Japan and by network roll-outs in China. In the rest of World, double digit decline in CALA was partially offset by good traction in MEA.

CORE NETWORKING

Core Networking segment revenues were Euro 1,352 million in Q1 2014, up 6.9% compared to Q1 2013. Adjusted operating income reached Euro 96 million, or 7.1% of the segment revenues in Q1 2014. The improvement of 820 basis points in adjusted operating margin reflects continued strong contribution from IP Routing as well as strong year-over-year improvement in IP Platforms, and to a lesser extent, in IP Transport. Core networking segment operating cash flow of Euro 48 million in the quarter improved by Euro 59 million compared to Q1 2013, the improvement in profitability being partially offset by a negative change in operating working capital.

IP Routing revenues were Euro 549 million in Q1 2014, up 16.4% from Q1 2013. All regions, notably Asia-Pacific, showed double-digit growth, as sales benefitted from the continued industrial transformation to all-IP networks.

 

    Strong traction around our IP mobile packet core solutions.

 

    Our 7950 XRS IP Core router registered 4 new wins in Q1, including Elisa in Finland and customers in the cable sector, for a total of 24 wins to date.

 

    Nuage Networks™ added 2 new wins in the quarter, including French cloud provider Numergy; we currently have sold our Nuage Networks™ solution to 5 customers and have more than 30 trials including NTT Communications.

 

    We were ranked #2 vendor in the EPC market in 2013 and recently launched a Virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC) solution for mobile operators.

IP Transport reached Euro 454 million in Q1 2014, up 8.6% year-on-year. Within IP Transport, terrestrial optics recorded its first quarter of year-over-year growth since 2011.

 

    Within WDM, our 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) represented 44% of terrestrial optical product revenues in the quarter, up 810 basis points year-on-year, and registered 26 new wins.

 

    Our 100G shipments represented 30% of total WDM line cards shipments in Q1 2014 compared to 19% in Q1 2013; we have now shipped over 12,000 100G ports lifetime-to-date.

 

    New successful 400G trials with Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network (ORION) and Telekom Austria.

IP Platforms revenues decreased by 6.9% year-on-year to Euro 349 million in Q1 2014. Strong year-over-year growth in key platforms, namely IMS (VoLTE), SDM (Subscriber Data Management) and Customer Experience, was more than offset by declines in legacy platforms and by the impact from the portfolio rationalization done in 2013.

 

    Key wins announced in Q1 2014 included Verizon with our SDM platform, Telenor with our Motive solution and Bouygues with VoLTE.

 

    Continued traction in Network Function Virtualization (NFV), a key development for the industry going forward, as evidenced by:

 

    Launch of our vIMS solution currently in trial mode with 8 customers;

 

    Global collaboration with Intel to speed up the industry move to cloud and accelerate the development of our Virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) portfolio, our Cloudband platform, and High-performance Packet Processing for advanced IP/MPLS platforms and functions;

 

    Co-innovation agreement with Telefónica to drive innovation and adoption of NFV;

 

    Demonstration of virtualized RAN and EPC with China Mobile.

ACCESS

Access segment revenues were Euro 1,572 million in Q1 2014, a 4.2% decrease compared to Q1 2013. Excluding Managed Services, which decreased by half reflecting our strategy to terminate or restructure loss-making contracts, the Access segment grew 2.1%. In Q1 2014, segment operating loss was Euro (37) million, an improvement of Euro 95 million compared to Q1 2013. The year-over-year improvement reflects a continued significant contribution from Fixed Access and improvements in the Wireless division. Segment operating cash flow of Euro (61) million in the quarter improved by Euro 211 million compared to Q1 2013, stemming primarily from improved profitability as well as improved operating working capital.

Wireless Access revenues were Euro 999 million, an increase of 2.3% year-on-year. In the first quarter, LTE growth continued to be strong, notably in the US. This growth was partially offset by continued declines in 2G and 3G technologies, which represented less than 25% of our wireless access revenues in Q1.

 

    LTE overlay wins with America Movil’s Claro Uruguay, Etisalat United Arab Emirates, APT (Taiwan) and Outremer Telecom.

 

    We recently signed a framework agreement with China Mobile which centers on wireless ultra-broadband access technology, including TD-LTE and small cells, as well as other products and services, including optics, routing and ultra-broadband access.

 

    New small cell announcements including Verizon Wireless and TIM in Brazil.

Fixed Access revenues were Euro 460 million in Q1 2014, an increase of 2.8% from Q1 2013. Both copper and fiber technologies continued to show good performance, notably driven by the rejuvenation of broadband access networks in Europe and in Asia-Pacific outside of China. North America business remains solid with good activity notably with Tier 1 customers. These trends were partially offset by a decline in legacy technologies.

 

    In the quarter, we signed 12 new fiber contracts including Swisscom, IP-Only and Telkom Akses.

 

    To date, we have shipped 5.5 million VDSL2 vectoring lines and now have 20 customers including the activation of the first nationwide VDSL2 vectoring network with Belgacom.

 

    Active discussions with leading operators for G.fast and successfully completed trial in NGPON2.

 

    Early signs of increasing exposure to webscale companies and MSOs.

Managed Services revenues were Euro 99 million, decreasing by approximately 50%, reflecting our strategy to terminate or restructure loss-making contracts.

SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for historical information, all other information in this presentation consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward looking statements include statements regarding the future financial and operating results of Alcatel-Lucent, such as for example as the stated goals to become an “IP Networking and Ultra-Broadband specialist”, “leader in innovation” or achieving a more “diversified customer basis”, “competitive fixed costs structure”, “profitable growth cash generation” and “strong balance sheet with lower gearing”. Words such as “will,” “expects,” “looks to,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “projects,” “intends,” “guidance”, “maintain”, “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “aim,” “goal,” “outlook,” “momentum,” “continue,” “reach,” “confident in,” “objective,” “expansion”, “adoption” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements which are not statements of historical facts. These forward-looking statements are not guaranties of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to assess, including broad trends not within our control such as the economic climate in the world, and in particular in those geographical areas where we are most active. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, in particular with regard to product demand being as expected, of which a continued significant growth in some of our activities (and in particular those to which we have decided to focus our resources), our ability to close on any announced divestitures, in particular the divestment of our Enterprise businesses, as well as obtain the price we estimated by a given date for those remaining activities we want to divest, to improve our level of free cash-flow, or to achieve all the goals of our Shift Plan, including headcount reduction, product mix and site rationalization, and to exit unprofitable contracts and markets at a reasonable cost. These risks and uncertainties are also based upon a number of factors including, among others, our ability to realize the full value of our existing and future intellectual property portfolio in a complex technological environment (including defending ourselves in infringement suits and licensing on a profitable basis our patent portfolio), our ability to operate effectively in a highly competitive industry and to correctly identify and invest in the technologies that become commercially accepted, demand for our legacy products and the technologies we pioneer, the timing and volume of network roll-outs and/or product introductions, difficulties and/or delays in our ability to execute on our other strategic plans, our ability to efficiently co-source or outsource certain business processes (in particular with regard to our finance and human resources functions) and more generally control our costs and expenses, the risks inherent in long-term sales agreements, exposure to the credit risk of customers or foreign exchange fluctuations, reliance on a limited number of suppliers for the components we need as well as our ability to efficiently source components when demand increases, the social, political risks we may encounter in any region of our global operations, the costs and risks associated with pension and postretirement benefit obligations, our ability to avoid unexpected contributions to such plans and to convert US pension liabilities into a one-time lump-sum payment in a cost-effective manner, changes to existing regulations or technical standards, existing and future litigation, compliance with environmental, health and safety laws, our ability to procure financing for our operations at an affordable cost, and the impact of each of these factors on our results of operations and cash. For a more complete list and description of such risks and uncertainties, refer to Alcatel-Lucent’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as other filings by Alcatel-Lucent with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required under the US federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Alcatel-Lucent disclaims any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the distribution of this presentation, whether as a result of new information, future events, developments, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Cyber-security: Strategic partnership between Alcatel-Lucent and Thales

Opening of exclusive negotiations between Thales and Alcatel-Lucent for the signing of a strategic partnership in cyber-security and communications security.

 

  Contemplated agreement would see Thales acquire Alcatel-Lucent’s cyber-security services and communications security activities

 

  Thales would commit to providing services to Alcatel-Lucent for its customers’ needs.

 

  Alcatel-Lucent will continue to develop advanced security features in its portfolio of IP and ultra-broadband access products

 

  Finally, with this strategic partnership, Alcatel-Lucent strengthens its commercial offering in the field of secured networks.

Paris, May 22, 2014 – Thales and Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) have entered exclusive negotiations for the consideration by Thales of acquiring the cyber-security services and communications security activities of Alcatel–Lucent as part of a strategic partnership to provide end-to-end solutions for securing networks.

The contemplated partnership, including the transfer of Alcatel-Lucent’s network security assets to Thales, will enable Alcatel-Lucent to expand its commercial proposition in cyber-security, a stated intention of The Shift Plan announced last year. Alcatel-Lucent will be able to offer existing and new customers highly secured end-to-end network security solutions, combining its integrated security expertise in telecommunication products with complementary services provided by Thales. In return, Thales will grow its business in cyber-security, further consolidating the knowledge and expertise of its teams, which is already world-class in this field.

The partnership is subject to a final, definitive agreement, and will become effective after the consultation of representative bodies, the execution of definitive agreements and obtaining necessary permissions.

Alcatel-Lucent’s cyber-security services and communications security activities are mainly located at three sites in France - Villarceaux, near Paris, Toulouse and Orvault near Nantes - and in three other European countries (Germany, Belgium, UK).

Commenting on the contemplated agreement between the two companies, Jean-Bernard Lévy, Chairman and CEO of Thales, said: “With this strategic partnership, Thales strengthens its position in cyber-security and consolidates its position as European leader in this strategic sector. This investment responds to the growing ambition of Thales in promising sectors of security, in order to offer solutions that ensure the integrity and resilience of its customers’ information systems. This agreement realises a strategic partnership between two global companies, with similar backgrounds, and will allow for a shared and coherent approach to cope with cyber-security issues.”

By partnering with Thales for related services, we will be able to offer a comprehensive world-class expertise in network security.”

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Alcatel-Lucent S.A. (“Alcatel-Lucent”) is a French public limited liability company that is subject to the French Commercial Code and to all the legal requirements governing commercial companies in France. Alcatel-Lucent and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) develop and integrate technologies, applications and services to offer innovative global communications solutions. Alcatel-Lucent’s headquarters are located at 3, avenue Octave Gréard, 75007, Paris, France. Alcatel-Lucent is listed principally on the Paris and New York stock exchanges. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results and financial position of the Group as well as its investments in associates (“equity affiliates”) and joint ventures. They are presented in Euros rounded to the nearest million. On May 7, 2014, Alcatel-Lucent’s Board of Directors authorized for issuance these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2014.

 

NOTE 1. Summary of accounting policies

 

Due to the listing of Alcatel-Lucent’s securities on the Euronext Paris and in accordance with the European Union’s regulation No. 1606/2002 of July 19, 2002, the consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs (International Financial Reporting Standards), as adopted by the European Union (“EU”), as of the date when our Board of Directors authorized these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issuance. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements comply with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

IFRSs can be found at: www.ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_en.htm.

As of March 31, 2014, all IFRSs that the IASB had published and that are mandatory are the same as those endorsed by the EU and mandatory in the EU, with the exception of:

 

    IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (revised December 2003)”, which the EU only partially adopted. The part not adopted by the EU has no impact on Alcatel-Lucent’s financial statements; and

 

    IFRIC Interpretation 21 “Levies” (issued May 2013) that is mandatory with effect from January 1, 2014, that the Group has adopted early, but that the EU has not yet endorsed. Although not yet endorsed by the EU, the Interpretation is not incompatible with EU regulations, because it is an interpretation of the existing IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and does not include any new recognition or measurement concepts.

As a result, the Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as published by the IASB.

In Q1 2014, the IASB published the following IFRS that is only applicable with effect from January 1, 2016, that the EU has not yet endorsed, and that, once effective, will have no impact on the Group’s financial statements:

 

    IFRS 14 “Regulatory Deferral Accounts” (issued January 2014).

The accounting policies and measurement principles adopted for the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 are the same as those used in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, with the exception of the adoption in Q1 2014 of IFRIC Interpretation 21 “Levies”, the adoption of which was immaterial to the Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2. Principal uncertainties regarding the use of estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs requires that the Group makes a certain number of estimates and assumptions that are considered realistic and reasonable. In the context of the current global economic environment, the degree of volatility and subsequent lack of visibility remains particularly high as of March 31, 2014. Future facts and circumstances could lead to changes in these estimates or assumptions, which would affect the Group’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The principal areas of uncertainty where estimates and judgment are used, which are similar to those described as of December 31, 2013, are:

 

    valuation allowance for inventories and work in progress;

 

    impairment of customer receivables;

 

    capitalized development costs, other intangible assets and goodwill;

 

p. 7


Table of Contents
    impairment of property, plant and equipment;

 

    provisions for warranty costs and other product sales reserves;

 

    deferred taxes;

 

    pension and retirement obligations and other employee and post-employment benefit obligation; and

 

    restructuring reserves and impact on goodwill impairment test.

No significant changes occurred in these areas during Q1 2014.

 

NOTE 3. Changes in consolidated companies

 

On March 31, 2014, Alcatel-Lucent completed the disposal of LGS Innovations LLC to a U.S.-based company owned by a Madison Dearborn Partners-led investor group that includes CoVant, for a cash selling price of U.S.$104 million (€76 million). The price of U.S.$104 million may be increased by a variable component of up to U.S.$96 million, which will be determined based on the divested company’s results of operations for the 2014 fiscal year. A €16 million loss was recognized in the line item “Gain/(loss) on disposal of consolidated companies”.

No other material change in consolidated companies occurred during the first quarter of 2014.

 

NOTE 4. Changes in accounting policy and presentation

 

a/ Change in accounting policy

In Q1 2014, Alcatel-Lucent adopted IFRIC Interpretation 21 “Levies” (which is an interpretation of IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”), the adoption of which was immaterial to the Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

b/ Change in presentation

No change in presentation occurred in the first quarter of 2014.

 

NOTE 5. Information by operating segment and by geographical segment

 

In accordance with IFRS 8 “Operating Segments”, information by operating segment comes from the business organization and activities of Alcatel-Lucent.

As a part of the Shift Plan announced on June 19, 2013, a new organization was put in place effective from July 1, 2013 onwards. It is composed of three reportable segments: Core Networking, Access and Other. These reportable segments are composed as follows:

 

    “Core Networking” is composed of the following product divisions: IP (IP Routing and IP Transport), Terrestrial Optics, Wireless Transmission, Submarine and Network Build & Implementation IP, Platforms, Platforms Professional Services and Strategic Industries.

 

    “Access” is composed of the following product divisions: Wireless, RFS (Radio Frequency Systems), Network Build & Implementation Wireless, Fixed Access, Multivendor Maintenance, Network Build & Implementation Fixed, Licensing and Managed Services.

 

    “Other” is mainly composed of the Enterprise and Government production divisions.

Results of operations for Q1 2014 and for the comparable 2013 period are presented according to this new organization structure.

The information by reportable segment follows the same accounting policies as those used and described in the 2013 audited consolidated financial statements.

All inter-segment commercial relations are conducted on an arm’s length basis on terms and conditions identical to those prevailing for the supply of goods and services to third parties.

Discontinued operations for the first quarter 2014 were as follows:

On February 6, 2014, Alcatel-Lucent announced that it had received a binding offer from China Huaxin, an existing partner of Alcatel-Lucent’s Alcatel Shanghai Bell (ASB) joint venture in China for the Enterprise business. The closing of the deal is subject to consultations and approvals from respective regulatory and social partners, including U.S. Government approvals. The Enterprise business is presented in discontinued operations in the consolidated income statements and statements of cash flows for all periods presented. Assets and liabilities related to this business as of March 31, 2014 are classified in “assets held for sale and assets included in disposal groups held for sale” and “liabilities related to disposal groups held for sale” in the statement of financial position.

(1) This debt has been repaid by anticipation in January 2014, see below.
(2) Benefit from a full and unconditional subordinated guaranty from Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.
(3) Guaranteed by Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. and certain subsidiaries of Alcatel-Lucent.
(4) Guaranteed by Alcatel-Lucent and certain of its subsidiaries.
(5) Our credit facilities have floating interest rates but include floors with a strike (trigger) at 1%. Given the level of the U.S.$ Libor, the floor of the U.S.$1,733 million facility due January 2019 is currently “in the money”, that is, it has been triggered. Thus the rate of this credit facility is currently equal to the floor (1%) plus the credit spread, namely 4.50%.

Changes during the first quarter of 2014:

Senior Secured Credit Facility amendment

On December 20, 2013, Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. amended its U.S.$1,750 million Senior Secured Credit Facility, which lowered the credit spread on the facility from 4.75% to 3.50% with effect from February 18, 2014. As a result, and after taking into account the Libor 1% floor, the applicable interest rate decreased from 5.75% to 4.50%. In accordance with IAS 39, this amendment to the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility has not led to recording an extinguishment of the original facility and the recognizing a new one, because the change in interest rate does not constitute a substantial modification of the terms of the original facility.

Repayment of 7.75% Convertible Securities (Liability to Subsidiary Trust Issuing Preferred Securities)

On January 13, 2014, the outstanding principal amount of U.S.$931 million on the 7.75% Convertible Trust Preferred Securities due 2017 was repaid in full. At December 31, 2013, the carrying value of this debt was already equal to its nominal value (see Note 25 of our 2013 audited consolidated financial statements), because we had already anticipated as from December 12, 2013 that the debt would be redeemed in full.

d/ Rating clauses affecting Alcatel-Lucent and Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc. debt at March 31, 2014

Given its current short-term ratings and the lack of liquidity of the French commercial paper “billets de trésorerie” market, Alcatel-Lucent has decided not to participate in this market for the time being.

Alcatel-Lucent and Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.’s outstanding bonds do not contain clauses that could trigger an accelerated repayment in the event of a lowering of their respective credit ratings.

e/ Management of covenants

Specific covenants relating to financial ratios on our financial instruments (Revolving Credit Facility and bonds) were unchanged compared to December 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014, these covenants were met.

 

NOTE 13. Fair value hierarchy

 

The amendment to IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments” concerns assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The amendment requires fair value measurements to be classified into three levels, which are the same as those defined in IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”. The levels of the fair value hierarchy depend on the type of input used for the valuation of the instruments:

 

  Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

 

  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 

  Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(1) Actively traded money market funds are measured at their net asset value (“NAV”) and classified as Level 1. The Company’s remaining cash equivalents are classified as Level 2 and measured at amortized cost, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short time between the purchase of the instrument and its expected realization.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and marketable securities that are included in Financial assets available for sale at fair value classified in Level 1 are priced using quoted market prices for similar instruments or non-binding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data. The Group uses inputs such as actual trade data, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, and other similar data, which are obtained from quoted market prices, independent pricing vendors, or other sources, to determine the ultimate fair value of these assets.

The Group’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2, as they are not actively traded and are valued using pricing models that use observable market inputs (foreign currency exchange rates, volatility indices and interest rates).

There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the first three months of 2014 and 2013. The financial assets categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy correspond to investments in non-consolidated companies. Amounts at stake are not material.

b/ Receivables transferred that are not derecognized in their entirety

Receivables related to French R&D tax credits (i.e. “Crédits d’Impôt Recherche”) were sold to banks but not derecognized from the statement of financial position, as we are keeping substantially all risks and rewards related to those receivables, due to the ability of the buyer to retroactively cancel the sale in certain circumstances and to the existence of a selling price adjustment if the receivable is redeemed before or after its contractual maturity (i.e. three years) by the French State.

The proceeds and cost of such transfers are included in our financial debt (other financial debt), which represented an amount of €249 million as of March 31, 2014 (€248 million as of December 31, 2013).

 

NOTE 15. Pensions, retirement indemnities and other post-retirement benefits

 

Alcatel-Lucent applies IAS 19 Revised which requires the immediate recognition in the statement of comprehensive income of actuarial gains and losses as well as any adjustments resulting from asset ceiling limits.

98% of Alcatel-Lucent’s total benefit obligations and 95% of Alcatel-Lucent’s plan asset fair values were re-measured as of March 31, 2014. Alcatel-Lucent’s pension and post-retirement obligations in the United States and Alcatel-Lucent’s main pension plans outside of the U.S. (in France, Germany, United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Belgium) have been re-measured based on a sensitivity analysis. The impact of not re-measuring other pension and post-retirement obligations is considered not material.

Discount rates used to measure Alcatel-Lucent’s pension and post-retirement obligations in the United States and Alcatel-Lucent’s main pension plans outside of the U.S. as of March 31, 2014 have been updated and were as follows:

NOTE 17. Commitments and contingencies

 

a/ Commitments

On February 28, 2014, in conjunction with the targeted cost savings of our “SHIFT” plan, we entered into a 7-year Service Implementation Agreement with Accenture regarding the business transformation of our Finance Function, including the outsourcing of our Accounting function. This agreement supplements two similar service agreements regarding Human Resources and Information technology. The three corporate functions concerned by these agreements are hereunder called “Towers”. The 7-year contract signed with Accenture is expected to generate cost reductions to Alcatel-Lucent over the contract period, and includes: data processing services (back office) in finance, accounting and human resources; as well as IT services, support and maintenance of IT applications in the countries in which Alcatel-Lucent operates.

As part of an initial two year transition and transformation phase, we are committed to restructuring the three towers, which is estimated to cost €49 million. Overall, Alcatel-Lucent is committed, under these agreements, to purchase approximately €757 million of Accenture goods and services until 2020.

b/ Contingencies

With regard to the May 3, 2012 claim by ICE filed before the Tribunal Contencioso Administrativo y Civil de Hacienda of Costa Rica for U.S.$18 million in pecuniary losses and an undetermined amount for moral damages, the Tribunal at a hearing on March 15, 2014 ruled in favor of Alcatel-Lucent, confirming that the claim had already been settled. Alcatel-Lucent had not booked a reserve for this claim.

The investigation with respect to Alcatel-Lucent Submarine Networks (“ASN”), and certain former employees of Alcatel-Lucent in relation to a project for a telecommunication submarine cable between Tahiti and Hawaii awarded to ASN in 2007 by the state-owned telecom agency of French Polynesia (“OPT”) has resulted, in accordance with a ruling of February 6, 2014, in ASN being ordered to stand trial for allegedly benefitting from favoritism. We do not believe that it will have a material effect on the Group.

In connection with the Trustee of the pension fund in The Netherlands that has been claiming damages from Alcatel-Lucent in compensation for the wind-up costs allegedly to be incurred following the termination in 2011 of the administration agreement, a pleading session was held on March 7, 2014. The Court proposed to both parties to extend their informal settlement discussions for a further eight weeks at least, after which the Court would make a ruling if no settlement was reached.

There were no other significant events during the first three months of 2014 regarding the litigation matters disclosed in Note 36 of our 2013 audited consolidated financial statements appended to the Group’s 20-F filing, and no significant new litigation has been commenced since December 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 18. Events after the statement of financial position date

 

There were no significant events between March 31, 2014, date of the statement of financial position and May 7, 2014, the date when the Board of Directors authorized these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue, other than the repayment in full, on April 7, 2014, of the outstanding €274 million 6.375% Senior Notes.

(1) 2013 amounts are re-presented to reflect the impacts of discontinued operations (see Note 9).
(2) As a result of the capital increase of Alcatel-Lucent in 2013 via an offering of preferential subscription rights to existing shareholders, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for Q1 2013 has been adjusted retrospectively. Number of outstanding ordinary shares has been adjusted to reflect the proportionate change in the number of shares.
