Cntinued gd cmmercial mmentum with significant cntract wins was accmpanied by increased vlumes and higher recyclate prices. - Eurpe excluding France (excluding Lithuania which is classified in discntinued peratins) grew +6.5% at cnstant exchange rates cmpared t the represented prir-year perid, with slid mmentum in all key cuntries: In the United Kingdm, revenue increased +5.1% at cnstant exchange rates t 1,497.7 millin, thanks t gd waste perfrmance driven by the cntributin f integrated cntracts, the favrable impact f recyclate prices (paper and ferrus and nn-ferrus scrap metals) and cntract wins (St Albans, Suthend n Sea, Army 2020); In Central and Eastern Eurpe, revenue increased +10.3% at cnstant exchange rates cmpared t the represented nine mnths ended September 30, 2016 t 2,050.2 millin, bsted by: In Energy, a favrable weather impact (+ 35 millin), an increase in heating and electricity vlumes sld in Pland and the cntributin f the Prague heating netwrk; In Water, increased vlumes and new extended Armenia cntract; In Nrthern Eurpe, revenue increased +4.6% at cnstant exchange rates cmpared t the represented prir year perid t 1,764.4 millin. Germany, the main cntributr ( 1,298.6 millin) benefited frm higher paper prices, a psitive price impact n industrial waste cllectin activities and new cntract wins in the Waste sectr. In additin, acquisitins, mainly in Sweden in the Waste sectr, further cntributed t the imprvement in revenue. Strng revenue grwth (+10.6% at cnstant exchange rates cmpared t the represented nine mnths ended September 30, 2016) in the Rest f the wrld segment, with strng grwth reprted acrss mst regins: Revenue rse +11.6% at cnstant exchange rates t 1,520.8 millin in Nrth America, benefiting frm the integratin f Chemurs' Sulfur Prducts divisin assets ( millin) and the acquisitin f a building energy services cmpany (Envity: millin) in January Additinally, rbust Municipal and Cmmercial activities were bsted by higher electricity and gas prices and vlumes, ffset by a cntractin in industrial services; Revenue grwth was rbust in Latin America (+22.4% at cnstant exchange rates) thanks t tariff increases in Argentina, the psitive impact f the acquisitin f the Pedreira landfill site in Brazil in May 2016 and the start-up f the Santa Marta cntract (drinking water distributin) in Clmbia in April 2017; Asia reprted significant revenue grwth f +22% at cnstant exchange rates. In China, strng revenue grwth (+30.3%) was due t new cntracts (Sinpec, Hngda, Heijian Bimass and Hangzhu WEE) in the Industrial Water and industrial services sectrs, and grwth in vlumes sld in the Municipal Energy and Waste sectrs. Revenue grwth in Japan was als driven by the develpment f Municipal Water activities and the cntributin f plastic recycling activities purchased in August In Krea, the acquisitin f Uniken in Industrial Waste had a favrable impact n revenue; Revenue increased in the Pacific zne (+2.9% at cnstant exchange rates fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2017). In the Waste business, increased vlumes fllwing the pening f new prcessing sites (Banksmeadw and MBT Wdlawn) were partially ffset by a decrease in industrial services (lss f Ri Tint cntract); In Africa and the Middle East, revenue declined by -1.9% at cnstant exchange rates. Glbal Businesses: -1.3% decline in revenue at cnstant exchange rates cmpared t the represented nine mnths ended September 30, 2016: Slid grwth in Hazardus Waste activities (+4.5% at cnstant exchange rates), mainly due t an imprvement in the il recycling business; 9/18

10 Design & Build activities remain dwn by -8.7% at cnstant exchange rates, in line with the Velia Water Technlgies business restructuring, althugh bkings imprved (+10%). Grwth in SADE activities in France, hwever, partially ffsets internatinal delays. The increase in revenue between the nine mnths ended 2016 and 2017 breaks dwn by main impact as fllws: Grwth at cnstant scpe and FX: +3.1% The freign exchange impact n revenue was millin (-0.7% f revenue) and mainly reflects fluctuatins in the UK pund sterling ( millin), the Argentine pes ( millin), the Chinese renminbi ( millin), the Australian dllar ( millin), the Czech crwn ( millin) and the Brazilian real ( millin). The cnslidatin scpe impact ( millin) mainly cncerns develpments in 2016 and 2017: in 2016, the integratin f Chemurs Sulfur Prducts divisin assets in the United States ( millin), Prague Left Bank, renamed Velia Energie Praha, in the Czech Republic ( millin) and the Pedreira landfill site in Brazil ( millin), as well as the sale f Bartin Recycling in the Waste business in France ( millin); in 2017, the acquisitin f Envity in the United States ( millin), Uniken in Suth Krea ( millin), the takever f Ta-h in Taiwan ( millin) and Crvara and Hans Anderssn in Sweden ( millin), which ffset the sale f the FM AB business in Sweden (- 8.1 millin). At cnstant scpe and exchange rates, revenue grew +3.1%. Cnstructin revenue cntracted by - 67 millin (- 8 millin in Q3 2017, cmpared with + 15 millin in Q and - 74 millin in Q1 2017) fllwing a decrease in Cnstructin activity under cncessin agreements, slightly ffset by the recvery f SADE activities in France. Energy and recyclate prices had an impact f 72 millin (versus millin fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2016). Cmmercial mmentum imprved significantly (Cmmerce/Vlumes impact) cntributing millin (cmpared with millin fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2016): A vlume effect f millin in line with higher vlumes sld in Central Eurpe (particularly electricity and heating sales), gd waste vlumes in France, the United Kingdm and Germany, and further grwth in energy vlumes in China; A cmmercial effect f millin, encmpassing the develpment f new industrial assets in Eurpe and Asia (Sinpec cntract: 63 millin); A weather impact f + 30 millin: highly favrable impact in Central Eurpe (+ 35 millin) partially ffset by Nrth America (- 6 millin). 10/18

11 Favrable price effects (+ 119 millin) are tied t psitive tariff indexatin in Germany in Waste, in Central Eurpe in Water and the significant impact f higher prices in Argentina. EBITDA Grup cnslidated EBITDA fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2017 was 2,358.7 millin, up 1.7% at cnstant exchange rates cmpared t the represented prir year perid. The EBITDA margin decreased frm represented 13.3% fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2016 t 12.9% fr the nine mnths ended September 30, Changes in EBITDA by segment were as fllws: - In France, EBITDA imprved : In the Water business, EBITDA imprved significantly in the nine mnths ended September 30, 2017, thanks t significant cst savings and higher vlumes (+1%), partially ffset by squeezed margins due t negative tariff indexatin and cntractual renegtiatins; In the Waste business, EBITDA als increased, benefiting frm cst savings and the impact f cmmercial develpments. - EBITDA stabilized in Eurpe excluding France (excluding Lithuania) as a result f several impacts: In Central and Eastern Eurpe, EBITDA imprved mainly thanks t a favrable weather impact in Energy and gd vlumes in Water; In the United Kingdm, gd perating perfrmance was partially ffset by plant utages and ne-ff dismantling csts; Lwer EBITDA in Nrthern Eurpe, mainly due t favrable nn-recurring items in the first-half f 2016 (litigatin payment and insurance claim reimbursement). - EBITDA grew in the Rest f the Wrld: Increased EBITDA in the United States was mainly due t changes in cnslidatin scpe, with the successful integratin f Chemurs Sulfur Prducts divisin assets and prgressin in Energy with the acquisitin f Envity, partially ffset by the sale f West Cast energy assets. The decline in industrial services was partial ffset by the restructuring measures previusly implemented; EBITDA grwth in Latin America was mainly due t price increases in Argentina and the impact f acquisitins in Brazil and a new cntract in Clmbia; Sustained EBITDA grwth in China acrss all businesses: Municipal and Industrial Energy, Industrial Water (Sinpec) and Waste (landfill vlumes and grwth in hazardus waste). - In the Glbal Businesses segment, the benefits f restructuring at Velia Water Technlgies and the gd perfrmance f Hazardus waste activities were ffset by the nn-recurrence f 2016 favrable impacts (favrable utcme f a cntract terminatin). Velia Water Technlgies is pursuing its transfrmatin plan with the standardizatin f its fferings, purchasing savings and a decrease in selling and administrative csts. 11/18

12 The increase in EBITDA between 2016 and 2017 breaks dwn by impact as fllws: The freign exchange impact n EBITDA was millin and mainly reflects the depreciatin f the UK pund sterling ( millin) and the Chinese renminbi (- 3.3 millin), partially ffset by the appreciatin f the Czech crwn (+ 4.6 millin), the Plish zlty (+ 3.2 millin), the Brazilian real (+ 2.7 millin), and the Australian dllar (+ 2.2 millin). The cnslidatin scpe impact ( millin) mainly cncerns develpments in 2016: the integratin f Chemurs Sulfur Prducts divisin assets in the United States, Prague Left Bank in the Czech Republic, and the Pedreira landfill site in Brazil. Cmmerce and vlume impacts ttaled + 33 millin thanks t strng cmmercial mmentum (ntably in Asia), gd water vlumes in Eurpe, higher waste vlumes and favrable weather cnditins ver the first nine mnths. These favrable items were partially ffset by the impact (albeit weaker) f cntract negtiatins in France Water, cntract lsses in Italy and a dwnturn in industrial service activities in Nrth America and the Pacific. Energy and recyclate prices psitively impacted EBITDA (+ 1 millin): heating and electricity prices changed in line with the purchase price f fuel used t prduce heat and electricity (decrease in Central Eurpe and increase in the U.S.). The psitive impact f higher recyclate prices in the United Kingdm was ffset by increased fuel csts in Waste in France. The millin price squeeze includes in particular the negative impact f the start-up f new activities. Cst savings plans cntributed 190 millin, cnsistent with the annual bjective f 250 millin. They mainly cver peratinal efficiency (46%) and purchasing (31%), and were achieved acrss all gegraphic znes: France (32%), Eurpe excluding France (26%), Rest f the Wrld (25%), Glbal Businesses (15%) and Crprate (2%). Transitry csts and ne-ff items mainly cncern the absence f the favrable impact f ne-ff items recrded in the first nine mnths f 2016 (litigatin payment in Belgium, insurance claim reimbursement received in Germany, favrable cntract terminatin at Velia Water Technlgies) and additinal insurance and maintenance csts (particularly in the United Kingdm) incurred in the first half f /18

13 CURRENT EBIT Grup cnslidated Current EBIT fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2017 was 1,049.2 millin, up +2.2% at cnstant exchange rates cmpared t the represented figures fr the prir-year perid. The recnciling items between EBITDA and Current EBIT fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as fllws: (in millin) 9 mnths ended September 30, 2016 represented 9 mnths ended September 30, 2017 EBITDA 2, ,358.7 Renewal expenses (202.5) (206.7) Depreciatin and amrtizatin (*) (1,231.1) (1,255.5) Prvisins, fair value adjustments & ther: Current impairment f prperty, plant and equipment, intangible assets and perating financial assets Net charges t perating prvisins, fair value adjustments and ther Capital gains r lsses n industrial divestitures Share f current net incme f jint ventures and assciates Current EBIT 1, ,049.2 (*) Including principal payments n perating financial assets (OFA) f millin fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2017 (cmpared with millin fr the nine mnths ended September 30, 2016.) The increase in Current EBIT at cnstant exchange rates reflects: EBITDA grwth at cnstant exchange rates; the increase in depreciatin and amrtizatin charges at cnstant exchange rates, in line with cnslidatin scpe impacts, primarily in the United States fllwing the acquisitin f Chemurs assets in July 2016, as well as in Brazil; the favrable change in net perating prvisin reversals, in particular captive insurance prvisins (+ 12 millin); a decline in capital gains r lsses n industrial divestitures in the nine mnths ended September 30, 2017; Share f current net incme f jint ventures and assciates was millin versus millin in 2016; imprved perfrmance f Chinese cncessins were ffset by sales f assets in United Kingdm.

In effect, the cncessin fee frmerly accunted fr as a charge is eliminated and then reallcated between interest expense and repayment f the recgnized debt. At the same time, a depreciatin charge fr the asset is recgnized and then deferred taxes are adjusted accrdingly. On the balance sheet, the liability related t the fixed payments is classified within cncessin liabilities and brken dwn between current and nn-current liabilities accrding t maturity. The liability balance relating t the adjustments is greater than the crrespnding net asset value: in effect, the asset depreciatin rate is linear, while the reimbursement rate is prgressive ("cnstant annuity frmula, with reductin in the interest prtin in favr f the principal repayment). The increase in EBITDA resulting frm the applicatin f the clarificatin is ffset by the liability repayment (classified in CAPEX) and interest payments. As a result, these adjustments have n impact n net free cash flw r net financial debt. 17/18
