Covid-19: update on air traffic

IATA estimates (as of July 28, 2020):

  • June air traffic remains very weak compared to the previous year
    • RPK down by (86.5)% in June against (91.3)% in May; ASK down by (80.1)% in June against (86.0)% in May
  • RPK will not return to pre Covid-19 levels until 2024, a year later than previously estimated
    • The recovery in short haul travel is still expected to happen faster than for long haul travel
  • Traffic for 2021 will be down (36)% compared to 2019, after an increase of 75% between 2020 and 2021

RPK for 2020 downgraded to (63)% compared to 2019 (versus (54.7)% forecasted at the beginning of June)

CFM56 and LEAP flight cycles are improving, driven by China, North America and Europe. As of July 28, 2020 :

  • Weekly CFM56 fleet cycles are down (51.7)% yoy (vs down (83)% at trough in April)

Covid-19: update on industrial operations

Implementation of health and safety guidelines on all the sites of the Group consistent with local regulations

Supply chain is under scrutiny: task force in place to identify and support critical suppliers, restructuring announced by some suppliers. Safran will contribute €58M equity support through the dedicated fund announced by the French government in June 2020

The situation is normalizing, as of July 17, 2020 :

  • 14 of our ~250 sites closed, compared to 30 as of May 18, 2020
  • 50% of workforce on-site, 10% working from home
  • 25% at Group level under short-time working or furlough - in average between April and June 2020 : 30% on a worldwide basis, 34% in France (excl. public holidays and days off)

Our main customers vision, as of today, for new aircraft and engines deliveries in 2020 :

  • Airbus : Decrease by more than 30% on narrowbodies (A320 family) Decrease by around 50% on widebodies
  • Boeing : Boeing 737 MAX return to service anticipated in Q4 with very slow production ramp-up

Decrease by around 30% on widebodies (747, 767, 777, 787), military applications and freighters being less impacted

  • Airlines and lessors : orders cancellations in H1 2020, significant 2020/2021 deliveries deferrals requests, decline in airlines discretionary spending and pressure on spare engines deliveries

Continuous adjustment to manufacture around 800 LEAP engines in 2020

Covid-19: adaptation plan - H1 2020 achievements (1/2)

Workforce and industrial footprint adaptation already implemented, started to materialize in H1 2020

  • Resizing the workforce to the needs of the business
    • Reduction of permanent workers by (12)%, (14)% including temporary workers, on a worldwide basis as of July 17, 2020 (mainly in the US, Mexico, Thailand, Tunisia and Morocco)
    • In France, a Group "Activity Transformation" agreement reached in July 2020 with all unions, valid until end of 2021 and renewable, will allow Safran to navigate the next 12 to 18 months of the crisis while preserving skills and enhancing competitiveness in French activities.
      • Deployment of the long-termshort-time working
      • Wage moderation for employees
      • Cap of profit sharing and savings schemes
      • Early retirement incentives (3,000 departures targeted)
  • Positive financial impacts of this agreement will start to materialize from H2 2020

  • Industrial footprint rationalization
    • 4 sites closure on going in Seats (UK, US), Cabin (US) and Electrical & Power (US) activities
    • 3 transfers of production notably in Cabin and Electrical & Power activities
    • ~10 restructuring plans
  • €(77)M restructuring costs already booked in H1 2020

Covid-19: adaptation plan - H1 2020 achievements (2/2)

H1 2020 adaptation plan achievements consistent with year-end objectives

  • Scaling purchasing programs in line with the drop in activity in H1 2020
    • Decrease by more than (30)% of raw materials and supplies expenses
    • Decrease by more than (40)% of sub-contracting expenses

Work-in-progress and inventories are stabilizing

Capex commitments reduced by (74)% in H1 2020, above the initial objective of a reduction of (60)% in 2020

R&D expenses reduced by (31)% in H1 2020, in line with the objective of a reduction by (30)% in 2020 compared to 2019

  • Operating expenses(1) reduced by (17)% in H1 2020, consistent with the target of a reduction by more than (20)% at year-end compared to 2019
  1. Excluding purchasing and including R&D expenses

Key takeaways: quick and proactive approach to adapt Safran

Strong pressure in Q2, notably in civil aftermarket. A lot of uncertainties remain

Safran is significantly reducing its costs and lowering its breakeven point to benefit from the recovery when it occurs

  • First impacts from the adaptation plan already in H1 2020 : workforce resizing, furlough schemes, industrial footprint adaptation, reduction of operating expenses (including R&D expenses), reduction of Capex commitments

A significant Group "Activity Transformation" agreement reached with all unions in France that will impact positively from H2 2020

As of today, a gradual recovery is the central scenario with air traffic expected to go back to 2019 levels by 2023-2024

  • New aircraft deliveries are expected to be lower for a period of time, exceeding 2020
  • Services (notably civil aftermarket) and aircraft interiors activities strongly affected in 2020

Prospects remain good for Safran, notably thanks to its exposure to:

  • Civil aftermarket, expected to recover faster than OE and CFM56 fleet remains a key asset
  • Narrowbody, short haul routes being less impacted than international routes

Safran reinforce its commitment and actions to address the climate change challenge. Government support will allow Safran to maintain a high level of R&T activity in the next years, offsetting most of the decrease in its self-funded expenses over next years due to the crisis.

Foreword

Adjusted data

All revenue figures in this presentation represent adjusted data(1) (except where noted). Safran's consolidated income statement has been adjusted for the impact of:

  • purchase price allocations with respect to business combinations. Since 2005, this restatement concerns the amortization charged against intangible assets relating to aircraft programs revalued at the time of the Sagem-Snecma merger. With effect from the first half 2010 interim financial statements, the Group decided to restate:
    • the impact of purchase price allocations for business combinations, particularly amortization and depreciation charged against intangible assets and property, plant and equipment recognized or remeasured at the time of the transaction and amortized or depreciated over extended periods due to the length of the Group's business cycles and the impact of remeasuring inventories, as well as
    • gains on remeasuring any previously held equity interests in the event of step acquisitions or asset contributions to joint ventures;
  • the mark-to-market of foreign currency derivatives, in order to better reflect the economic substance of the Group's overall foreign currency risk hedging strategy:
    • revenue net of purchases denominated in foreign currencies is measured using the effective hedged rate, i.e., including the costs of the hedging strategy
    • all mark-to-market changes on instruments hedging future cash flows are neutralized
  • The resulting changes in deferred tax have also been adjusted.

rate target

  • Approx. 45% of Safran US$ revenue are naturally hedged by US$ procurement

19 Safran / H1 2020 earnings / July 30, 2020

  • A weakening USD triggered some Knock-Out barriers of Fx derivatives for 2022 and 2023. The hedge book has therefore decreased to $21.6bn as of July 28, 2020
  • The hedge book includes barrier options with Knock-Out triggers ranging from $1.18 to $1.26 with maturities up to end- 2021, representing a risk to the size of the book and to targeted hedge rates in case of brutal exchange rate fluctuations

2020

  • Firm coverage of $8.0bn achieved through forward sales and knock-out options at a target rate of $1.16

2021

  • Firm coverage of $9.0bn achieved through knock-out options at a target rate between $1.14 and $1.16

  • OE narrowbody engines volumes impacted by the 737 MAX grounding and airframers production rate cuts: 450 Leap engines delivered (-411 vs. H1 2019). CFM56 ramped down (-174 deliveries vs. H1 2019). Both installed and spares engines deliveries decreased compared to H1 2019. High thrust engines were impacted to a lesser extent during the first half 2020. Helicopter turbines OE sales faced a slight headwind during the first half of the year
  • As planned, M88 engines deliveries were slightly down and amounted to 19 units in H1 2020 compared with 22 in H1 2019
  • Decrease in services due to civil aftermarket (-34.4% in $), military activities (strong comparison basis) and helicopter turbines support activities

Recurring operating income

  • Lower volumes: civil aftermarket and to a lesser extent military activities. Helicopter turbines had a slight positive impact due to one-off effects
  • Under absorption of fixed costs
  • Positive impact from the implementation of the adaptation plan (lower R&D expenses and furlough schemes)

This document and the information therein are the property of Safran. They must not be copied or communicated to a third party without the prior written authorization of Safran

New FY 2020 outlook

Based on a strong FY 2019 year comparison basis, Safran, despite considerable uncertainty and based on the assumption of a gradual recovery of air traffic, now expects for FY2020:

Adjusted revenue to decrease by approximately (35)% at an estimated average spot rate of USD

1.10 to the Euro. Similar variation in organic terms;

Recurring operating margin around 10% of sales based on a hedged rate of USD 1.16 to the Euro;

Positive free cash flow generation in H2, despite strong uncertainties regarding working capital evolution.

35 Safran / H1 2020 earnings / July 30, 2020

This document and the information therein are the property of Safran. They must not be copied or communicated to a third party without the prior written authorization of Safran

FY 2020 key assumptions

This outlook is notably based on the following assumptions:

  • Propulsion:
    • In a context of an overall decrease in deliveries of new aircraft and on the basis of a return to service of the 737 MAX in Q4 as announced by Boeing, Safran now estimates that the number of deliveries of LEAP engines should be around 800 in 2020. Deliveries decrease of military engines compared to 2019 is unchanged from forecasts at the start of the year;
    • Decrease in civil aftermarket estimated at around (50)% for FY2020.
  • Aircraft Equipment, Defense and Aerosystems:
    • Based on lower quantities announced by airframers to be delivered in H2 on the main widebody programs, organic decrease in sales is expected to be greater in H2 than in H1;
    • Recurring operating margin in H2 improving compared to H1 due to adaptation plan ramp-up.
  • Aircraft Interiors:
    • Assuming a very low level of retrofit activities for airlines in H2, organic decrease in sales is expected to be stronger in H2 than in H1;
    • Recurring operating income significantly improving in H2 compared to H1 due to savings and restructuring. Strong negative recurring operating margin over the year.
  • Deployment of HR measures of the adaptation plan: short-time working in H2, the Group "Activity Transformation" agreement in France impacting provisions for profit sharing 2020;
  • Decrease in R&D expenses by around Euro 450 million compared to 2019;
  • Level of Capex outflows down by Euro 200 million between 2019 and 2020 reflecting the confirmed reduction in commitments of 60% compared to 2019.

Key messages post Covid-19 crisis

Green aviation will emerge from the crisis as a major trend. The impact of the crisis on air traffic should lower CO2 emissions compared to pre-crisisanticipations but Safran will reinforce its commitment and actions to address the climate change challenge.

Safran makes climate change a central part of its technological solutions

  • Cost-cuttingplan maintains the environmental priorities of Safran R&T and Innovation roadmap
  • Safran is working on the next generation of low carbon aircraft and, together with its partner GE, on the successor to the LEAP engine, which is expected to offer fuel savings equivalent or superior to the fuel savings achieved by the LEAP compared to the CFM56.

Safran R&T environmental priorities are fully in line with the ambition of the French plan for the aerospace industry, announced in June 2020, targeting a zero emission aircraft in 2035

  • Safran will benefit from the public financing of R&D programs over 3 years for the sector
  • Safran works on different solutions: ultra-optimized thermal propulsion, intensive utilization of sustainable fuels for aviation, use of liquid hydrogen
  • A major milestone to select the most advanced technology should be reached in 2025

Research on breakthrough aircraft, low carbon aviation by 2030-2035 and towards carbon neutrality by 2050, remains the key focus of Safran's strategy in response to the challenge of climate change.

39 Safran / H1 2020 earnings / July 30, 2020

Top priority: reduce aviation's carbon footprint

Covid-19 crisis on air traffic could impact CO2 emissions in 2050 compared to pre-crisis curves.

It does not pause the aerospace sector commitment for green aviation.

Aviation today accounts for 2% of worldwide CO2 emissions

In 2008, the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) set an ambitious objective of reducing CO2 emissions by 50% in 2050 in relation to 2005

  • Without taking into account the impact of Covid-19 crisis, with forecast air traffic growth of 4%/year (= a 3.5-fold increase by 2050), meeting this goal meant a 90% improvement in average emissions per passenger/kilometer (2015 fleet)

Transition towards carbon neutrality

The French plan for the aerospace industry, announced in June 2020, is targeting a zero emission aircraft in 2035.

  • Safran R&T environmental priorities fully in line
  • Government support will allow Safran to maintain a high level of R&T activity in the next years, offsetting the decrease in its self-funded expenses due to the crisis

Safran works on several different solutions :

  • Ultra-optimizedthermal propulsion, with the successor to the LEAP engine, which is expected to offer a consumption saving at least equal to the reduction achieved by LEAP compared to CFM56
  • Intensive use of drop-in sustainable fuels
  • Exploring the liquid hydrogen solution
  • Most advanced technology should be selected in 2025

  2. Target date for aircraft in service.
  3. New aircraft release bringing twice the usual next-generation gain (15%).
  4. Liquid hydrogen solution potentially advanced to 2035 if proven to be the best solution thanks to research performed until 2025 to address technological challenges associated.
