Strategic and business
update
The enlarged Group profile made progress on all
four strategic pillars of its Alstom in Motion 2025 strategy in the
first half year of 2021/22:
1. Growth by offering
greater value to customers
The Group booked a very solid order intake of
€9,726 million in H1 2021/22 versus €5,364 million in H1 2020/21
proforma (+81%), sustained by a strong commercial dynamic.
Alstom order intake is fuelled by the strong
demand in Europe, totalling €6.3 billion of orders, notably with
large orders such as €1.4 billion order in Denmark for 100 Coradia
Stream trains and 15 years of maintenance. Alstom also signed
several contracts in Germany, including a signalling order in
Stuttgart with the Coburg rail node and an order for suburban
trains in Hamburg totalling €0.5 billion.
Alstom booked €3.4 billion of orders outside
Europe. In the Asia Pacific region, Alstom registered more than
€1 billion, including 25 new generation X’trapolis suburban
trains for €0.3 billion and the phase two of Taipei’s fully
automated Circular Line for €0.4 billion. Americas, with €2.3
billion of orders, confirmed a positive market momentum with the
Tren Maya large-scale intercity railway project for €1 billion and
60 new Flexity streetcars for the city of Toronto for €0.3
billion.The book-to-bill ratio exceeded 1.3. The backlog amounted
to €76.4 billion on 30 September 2021.
In H1 2021/22 (from 1 April to 30 September
2021), Alstom’s total sales reached €7,443 million versus €6,536
million in H1 2020/21 proforma (+14%), with recovery from last
year’s lockdown.
H1 2021/22 sales in Services amounting €1,559
million illustrates the positive impact of traffic pick-up. In
Rolling stock, the H1 2021/22 sales at €4,285 million were
sustained by the progressive ramp-up of production. In Signalling,
Alstom reported €1,077 million sales, benefiting from the sound
level of project execution. Systems delivered €522 million of sales
in H1 2021/22 with growth resuming thanks to the ramp-up of systems
projects in Canada, Egypt and Thailand.
Sales related to non-performing backlog,
representing sales on project under cost-to-cost method with a
negative margin at completion amounted to €1.29 billion in H1
2021/22. Alstom confirms that the execution of such non-performing
projects should last 2 to 3 years.
2. Innovation
by Pioneering Smarter and Greener Mobility for
All
Alstom reiterates its commitment to accelerate
smart, green and inclusive mobility innovation. The R&D
expenses in H1 2021/22 amounted to €220 million6.
During the first half of fiscal year 2021/22,
Alstom confirmed its leadership in hydrogen trains. Coradia iLint,
world's first hydrogen fuel cell passenger train which has already
cumulated more than 200,000 km in passenger service, made its first
runs this semester in Poland, Sweden and France. The Group has
reached another milestone to build an innovative and strong
hydrogen rail value chain by signing a Memorandum of Understanding
with Plastic Omnium to design onboard hydrogen storage solutions
for railway.
In September 2021, Alstom also reached important
milestones with its high capacity and energy-efficient electrical
rail solutions by presenting Avelia Horizon power car. Avelia
Horizon brings its predecessor’s benefits to a further level,
offering 20% more capacity along with energy consumption reduced by
20% compared to the previous generation.
Alstom has also been awarded an integrated
turnkey metro system with the train-to-train Signalling technology
for line 18 of the Ile-de-France network. The train-to-train
technology adds up to 30% in line capacity and reduces by up to 30%
the energy consumption.
In September 2021 also, Alstom and Airbus
Cybersecurity signed a worldwide cooperation agreement to provide
cybersecurity solutions and services to rail operators.
3. Efficiency
at scale, Powered by Digital
Alstom delivered in H1 2021/22 an adjusted EBIT7
of €335 million versus €263 million in H1 2020/21. It corresponds
to a 4.5% aEBIT margin, impacted by the trading of non-performing
backlog and progressive ramp-up of sales during the year.
Below adjusted EBIT, Alstom booked €(47) million
of restructuring and rationalisation costs including the closure of
Aptis activities and €(32) million of Bombardier
Transportation integration costs and other costs.
Adjusted net profit8 reached € 172 million
compared to €168 million the previous year, impacted by the volume
effect, the integration costs and other one-off items below
adjusted EBIT. Net profit from continued operations (Group share)
stood at €(24) million, including net effect from purchase price
allocation (PPA) after tax for €(196) million.
The gross margin backlog improved during H1
2021/22, based on trading low margin backlog and healthy gross
margin on order intake.
4. One Alstom
team Agile,
Inclusive and
Responsible
Alstom fully supports the Paris Agreement
emission reduction targets and has implemented its own fully
aligned targets9. The Group is being represented at COP26 to voice
the importance of sustainable transport for decarbonization of the
economy and promote alternatives to diesel in rail. It considers
the COPs ambition as a catalyst to bring novel solutions for green
and smart rail while further improving our environmental impact in
production.
In 2021/22, the Alstom Foundation will benefit
from a €2.2 million budget – a 50% increase which enabled the
selection of more projects than usual and to address several new
countries. 38 projects in 24 countries have been selected on
October 2021 by the Foundation Board, relating to the protection of
the environment, the access to energy and water, as well as the
economic and social development, focusing on street children and
orphans, and the employability of disadvantaged youth and
women.
Alstom is proud of having joined the Paris stock
exchange’s CAC 40 ESG® index after markets close on 17 September
2021, comprising the 40 companies within the CAC Large 60 Index
that have demonstrated the best environmental, social and
governance (ESG) practices. This inclusion demonstrates the Group’s
commitment to smart and sustainable mobility and underlines its
policy in ESG.
***
Balance
sheet
During the first half of fiscal year 2021/22,
the Group Free Cash Flow is negative at €(1,461) million. As
anticipated, the Free Cash Flow has been impacted by non-recurring
working capital build-up due to project stabilisation efforts,
phasing effect and industrial ramp-up.
The Group held €1,139 million of cash and cash
equivalent at the end of September 2021. In addition, Alstom
benefits from a strong liquidity with two Revolving Credit
Facilities for a total of €3,250 million10 both fully undrawn.
Consequently, the Group liquidity stood at
€4,389 million as of 30 September 2021, versus €4,500 million as of
end of March 2021.
Alstom has increased its NEU CP11 program
outstanding, from €250 million in March 2021 to €750 million end of
September 2021.
In July 2021, Alstom successfully issued a
two-tranches senior bond for a total amount of €1.2 billion. One
6-year tranche amounting to €500 million with a fixed coupon of
0.125% payable annually and one 9-year tranche amounting to €700
million with a fixed coupon of 0.5% payable annually.
***
Clear
global integration roadmap
The new organisation of Alstom was fully
deployed during H1 2021/22. The culture change roadmap has been
defined and is now deployed from H1 2021/22. Alstom confirms the
objective to generate €400 million cost synergies on annual run
rate basis by the fourth to fifth year after closing of the
acquisition of Bombardier Transportation on 29 January 2021
On processes convergence, Alstom has already
achieved about 40% of its objectives, focusing on the commercial
and tender processes and tools, as well as on the deployment of
strong engineering and quality governance principles. Alstom
expects to reach 80% of convergence of its processes by the end of
the fiscal year 2021/22. 100% of Rolling stock sites are already
using the new inventory management methodology.
On IT integration, Alstom has finalised the
digital factory roadmap, and has already started its roll-out in
some Bombardier Transportation legacy sites, leveraging the
maturity of the solutions and its past deployment experience in
Alstom.
The products convergence is on track. The
products and components portfolios of both legacies have been
reviewed extensively, enabling Alstom to offer the best of both
legacies in tenders. Alstom has already prepared its new integrated
R&D plan which is now being deployed across the organisation to
intensify and focus innovation efforts.

Outlook for fiscal year
2021/22

APPENDIX 4 - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL
INDICATORS DEFINITIONS
This section presents financial indicators used
by the Group that are not defined by accounting standard
setters. Orders receivedA
new order is recognised as an order received only when the contract
creates enforceable obligations between the Group and its customer.
When this condition is met, the order is recognised at the contract
value.
If the contract is denominated in a currency
other than the functional currency of the reporting unit, the Group
requires the immediate elimination of currency exposure using
forward currency sales. Orders are then measured using the spot
rate at inception of hedging instruments.
Book-to-Bill
The book-to-bill ratio is the ratio of orders
received to the amount of sales traded for a specific period.
Adjusted Gross Margin before
PPA
Adjusted Gross Margin before PPA is a Key
Performance Indicator to present the level of recurring operational
performance. It represents the sales minus the cost of sales,
adjusted to exclude the impact of amortisation of assets
exclusively valued when determining the purchase price allocations
(“PPA”) in the context of business combination as well as
non-recurring “one off” items that are not supposed to occur again
in following years and are significant.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT (“aEBIT”) is the Key Performance
Indicator to present the level of recurring operational
performance. This indicator is also aligned with market practice
and comparable to direct competitors. Starting September 2019,
Alstom has opted for the inclusion of the share in net income of
the equity-accounted investments into the aEBIT when these are
considered to be part of the operating activities of the Group
(because there are significant operational flows and/or common
project execution with these entities). This mainly includes
Chinese joint-ventures, namely CASCO joint-venture for Alstom as
well as, following the integration of Bombardier Transportation,
Bombardier Sifang (Qingdao) Transportation Ltd., Bombardier NUG
Propulsion System Co. Ltd.
aEBIT corresponds to Earning Before Interests
and Tax adjusted for the following elements:
- net restructuring expenses
(including rationalisation costs);
- tangibles and intangibles
impairment;
- capital gains or loss/revaluation
on investments disposals or controls changes of an entity;
- any other non-recurring items, such
as some costs incurred to realise business combinations and
amortisation of an asset exclusively valued in the context of
business combination, as well as litigation costs that have arisen
outside the ordinary course of business;
- and including the share in net
income of the operational equity-accounted investments.
A non-recurring item is a “one-off” exceptional
item that is not supposed to occur again in following years and
that is significant.Adjusted EBIT margin corresponds to Adjusted
EBIT in percentage of sales.
EBIT before PPA
Following the Bombardier Transportation
acquisition and with effect from these Fiscal year 2021/22
condensed interim consolidated financial statements, Alstom decided
to introduce the “EBIT before PPA” indicator aimed at restating its
Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (“EBIT”) to exclude the
impact of amortisation of assets exclusively valued when
determining the purchase price allocations (“PPA”) in the context
of business combination, net of the corresponding tax effect. This
indicator is also aligned with market practice.
The non-GAAP measure adjusted EBIT (aEBIT
hereafter) indicator reconciles with the GAAP measure EBIT as

Adjusted net profitFollowing the Bombardier
Transportation, Alstom decided to introduce the “adjusted net
profit” indicator aimed at restating its net profit from continued
operations (Group share) to exclude the impact of amortisation of
assets exclusively valued when determining the purchase price
allocations (“PPA”) in the context of business combination, net of
the corresponding tax effect. This indicator is also aligned with
market practice.
This non-GAAP measure adjusted net profit
indicator reconciles with the GAAP measure net profit from
continued operations attributable to equity holders (net profit –
Group share) as follows:

Free Cash
Flow
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by
operating activities less capital expenditures including
capitalised development costs, net of proceeds from disposals of
tangible and intangible assets. Free Cash Flow does not include any
proceeds from disposals of activity.
The most directly comparable financial measure
to Free Cash Flow calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS
is net cash provided by operating activities.
Alstom uses the Free Cash Flow both for internal analysis
purposes as well as for external communication as the Group
believes it provides accurate insight into the actual amount of
cash generated or used by operations.
A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and net cash
provided by operating activities is presented below:

Proforma like-for-like new
Alstom
The "proforma like-for-like New Alstom"
variations, orders and sales, correspond to the like-for-like
variation of Alstom after the acquisition of Bombardier
Transportation integrating Bombardier Transportation over the
comparable periods preceding the acquisition. The pre-acquisition
financial data used to calculate the "proforma like-for-like New
Alstom" variations, sales, are extracted from the historical
accounts of Alstom and Bombardier Transportation respectively. In
order to ensure the comparability of the results, the proforma
restatements as presented in chapter 3 of the URD “Unaudited
proforma Condensed Financial Information as of 31 March 2021" have
been applied. Data related to the commercial performance correspond
to orders intake recorded by Alstom and Bombardier Transportation
integrating Bombardier Transportation over the comparable periods
preceding the acquisition. These indicators are not presented on an
organic basis and, therefore, are not restated in order to
eliminate the impact of changes in scope of consolidation and
changes resulting from the translation of the accounts into euro
following the variation of foreign currencies against the euro.
Sales Q1 2020/21 and Q2 2020/21 of Bombardier Transportation were
converted at the average quarterly foreign exchange rate EUR/USD of
1/1.1004 for Q1 and 1/1.1648 for Q2, communicated in Bombardier Inc
Q2 and Q3 2020 financial report. Orders received Q1 2020/21 and Q2
2020/21 of Bombardier Transportation were converted at the
quarterly closing foreign exchange rate EUR/USD of 1/1.1284 for Q1
and 1/1.1702 for Q2, as communicated in Bombardier Inc Q2 and Q3
2020 financial report.
