1.2 Strong operational progress
Renewables
ENGIE added over 1 GW of renewable capacity in first-half 2024, the bulk in Brazil (0.7 GW) and France (0.2 GW). At June 30, 2024, ENGIE had 6.9 GW of capacity under construction from 63 projects. The Group also signed 1.5 GW of PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) the large majority of which with at least 5 years’ duration. Of special note was the signing with Google of a series of new PPAs by which ENGIE will supply more than 118 MW of renewable energy to Google’s digital infrastructure facilities in Belgium.
(1) Cash Flow From Operations: Free Cash Flow before maintenance Capex and nuclear provision funding.
(2) Net Recurring Income Group share.
The Group remains confident of achieving its annual target of 4 GW on average of additional renewables capacity up to 2025, with the support of a pipeline of 95 GW at end-June 2024 (up by 3 GW from the end of 2023).
Through its JV Ocean Winds, ENGIE installed the first turbines of the 882 MW Moray West offshore wind farm, as well as delivering the facility’s first power on to the UK’s electric grid. Ocean Winds also inaugurated the sub-station of the offshore Yeu-Noirmoutier wind farm. Finally, Ocean Winds was awarded exclusive development rights for a 1.3 GW offshore wind project in Australia.
Networks
As expected, the increase in gas storage, transmission and distribution tariffs, set by the French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) for the period 2024-27, took place on January 1st, April 1st and July 1st, 2024 respectively.
Renewable gas
Biomethane continues to develop in France with a yearly production capacity of up to 11.6 TWh connected to ENGIE’s networks in France, an increase of 1.9 TWh compared to the end of June 2023. The decree obliging gas producers to support the development of biomethane production through Biogas Production Certificates (CPB), which had previously been announced in the Climate and Resilience law, was published.
In June 2024, ENGIE’s gas transport subsidiary GRTgaz, together with Enagás et Teréga, signed an agreement for the joint development (JDA) of the BarMar hydrogen project, which will link Spain and France via a sea-based pipeline. The agreement defines the conditions under which the partners commit to collaborate for the project’s development phase: subject to FID, Enagás will have a 50% share, GRTgaz 33.3% and Teréga 16.7%.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
In first-half 2024, ENGIE completed 800MW of new capacity of which 775 MW in Texas. Those capacities are part of the portfolio pipeline of Broad Reach Power, which ENGIE acquired in second half of 2023. The integration of BRP is progressing with success, with some 90% of former BRP personnel retained by ENGIE and BRP’s platform now used for ENGIE’s entire US battery portfolio. Around 50% of the cash flows of these Texas-based batteries are covered for 5 years on average.
Energy Solutions
Energy Solutions had a strong first-half, achieving more than €2.8 billion of additional order intake in DHC networks. In France, the share of renewable energy in the networks that were won is close to 90%, whilst all expiring concessions have been renewed with additional extension programs of 62% of GWh sold on average.
Production of decarbonized energy on industrial sites is also developing well in France and overseas including supply of low-energy cooling for CapitaLand Investment Ltd in Singapore.
In energy performance and management, ENGIE benefited from its know-how by winning some flagship contracts notably in Lille (330 buildings) and Rome (1,100 buildings).
Disciplined capital allocation
In first-half 2024, gross Capex amounted to €5.2 billion of which €4.1 billion towards growth. 86% of the latter was dedicated to Renewables, Energy Solutions, and Flex Gen, in line with ENGIE’s strategic roadmap.
Performance plan delivery
ENGIE continued its efforts towards operational excellence, with a €87 million contribution from the performance plan in first-half 2024.
1.3 Progress on key ESG targets
During first-half 2024, greenhouse gas emissions from energy production were reduced to 23 mt vs. 26 mt in first-half 2023, mainly due to a lower load factor on thermal generation facilities on the back of mild temperatures and market normalization.
The share of renewables in ENGIE’s power generation portfolio was 41% at end-June 2024, unchanged versus the end of 2023.
In Chile, where ENGIE targets a full exit from coal in 2025, the regulator approved the conversion of one of the Group’s three coal-fired plants to gas; the remaining two coal-fired units will be closed.
1.4 Successful employee share ownership
In June 2024, ENGIE successfully implemented its Link 2024 employee share ownership plan with nearly 30,000 employee subscribers in 18 countries. In total, 35% of employees worldwide have subscribed to the operation during the booking period. This is part of the Group's regular employee share ownership policy and will bring the employee share ownership rate to 3.5%.
1.5 Update on nuclear in Belgium
On April 18, 2024, the Belgian parliament voted a law adopting the final agreement that had been signed by ENGIE and the Belgian government in December 2023 related to the 10 year extension of the Tihange 3 and Doel 4 nuclear reactors as well as to all liabilities concerning nuclear waste.
Following the vote of this law, the European Union opened a formal “investigation procedure”, as expected. This is the normal procedure to obtain the validation of the project under State aid rules in cases involving a contract-for-difference mechanism in the nuclear sector.
Closing of the operation is still expected by the end of the year.

EBIT (ex. nuclear) at €5.6 billion was down 16.2% on a gross basis and down 16.3% on an organic basis.
• Forex: a net effect of €9 million driven by the appreciation of UK pound sterling and the Mexican peso partly offset by the depreciation of the Brazilian real.
• Scope: a net effect of €-16 million, the sale of a portion of the stake in TAG and the disposal of Pampa Sul partly offset by full consolidation of Kathu (South Africa).
• Temperatures in France: compared to average, the first-half 2024 temperature effect was a negative €104 million, generating a year-on-year negative variation of €-69 million across the Networks, Retail and GEMS businesses.

Total CAPEX | 1,091 | 865 | +26.0% |
Operational KPIs
Networks EBIT was down 12.7% on an organic basis mainly due to lower revenues from capacity subscribed for gas transit between France and Germany (down from especially high levels in 2023), and from lower distributed volumes in France due to mild weather and weaker gas demand. In addition, market conditions for gas storage normalized after particularly favorable conditions in Germany and the UK in 2023. These negatives were partially balanced by higher tariffs in Romania from April 1st, 2023 and good performance from Latin American power and gas assets.
Energy Solutions: higher results and margin due to non-recurrence of negative first-half 2023 one-off in the US, partially offset by price and climate effects

Energy Solutions EBIT doubled year-on-year to €266 million in first-half 2024 due to a favorable basis for comparison, the Group having set aside a provision of €150 million in first-half 2023 caused by cost overruns in construction of two cogeneration units in the US. Excluding this one-off, Energy Solutions EBIT, despite improving EBIT margin from 5.1% to 5.4%, registered a slight organic decline in first-half 2024 owing to very mild temperatures, and to lower gas prices and spark spreads. Those factors offset a better performance driven by an improved contribution from Local Energy Networks in France and energy performance management activities.

EBIT in FlexGen increased organically by 31.9% due to higher spreads captured in Europe thanks to the Group’s hedging strategy and its ability to capture the value of flexibility and volatility, as well as higher margins in Chile due to abundant hydro and consequent lower purchase costs. EBIT was also boosted by higher CRM income in Mexico, positive net oneoffs in first quarter 2024 resulting from the outcome of a litigation process and the non-recurrence of the negative impact of the downgrade of the sovereign credit rating in Pakistan in Q1 2023. These factors more than offset the impact of the infra-marginal tax in France and lower load factors for CCGTs in Europe due to normalizing market conditions.

EBIT in Retail amounted to €304 million, equating to an organic decline of 37.5%, due mainly to lower volumes caused by mild temperatures and continued sobriety effect, with a long position that achieved lower selling prices in 2024.
Others: major contribution from GEMS albeit down year-on-year
GEMS EBIT at €1,946 million was 38.1% down on the particularly high level of first-half 2023.
Underlying EBIT of GEMS was slightly above €1.0 billion in first-half 2024, underpinned by good activity at the Client Risk Management & Supply and by the contribution from contracts signed and locked in the past when conditions were favorable, which materialize only at delivery date. This level, down compared to first-half 2023 but still strong, reflects the normalization of market conditions and the lower resulting volatility.
In first-half 2024, EBIT was furthermore boosted by several non-recurring and timing elements:
• reversals of market reserves, to a lesser extent than first-half 2023 and in line with the accelerated normalization of market conditions;
• positive timing effects which should reverse in the second half of this year.
The Group continues to expect underlying EBIT (i.e., excluding the impact of reversal of market reserves) of close to €2 billion for GEMS in 2024.

Nuclear reported €770 million of EBIT compared to €239 million in first-half 2023, a sharp rise due to the absence of inframarginal tax in Belgium, which ended in June 2023 and far outweighing the negative impacts of slightly lower availability due to maintenance outages (albeit still at a high level of 88.0%), the closure of the Tihange 2 reactor in February 2023 and slightly lower captured prices.

The calculation of organic growth aims to present comparable data both in terms of the exchange rates used to convert the financial statements of foreign companies and in terms of contributing entities (consolidation method and contribution in terms of comparable number of months). Organic growth in percentage terms represents the ratio between the data for the current year (Y) and the previous year (Y-1) restated as follows:
• the Y-1 data are corrected by removing the contributions of entities transferred during the Y-1 period or prorata temporis for the number of months after the transfer in Y;
• the Y-1 data are converted at the exchange rate for the period Y;
• the Y data are corrected with the Y acquisition data or prorata temporis for the number of months prior to the Y-1 acquisition.

Income from operating activities amounted to €4,221 million, up sharply first-half, 2023, mainly due to the recognition in first-half 2023 of the impact of the revision of nuclear provisions, partly offset by the strongly negative trend in first-half 2024 of MtM on commodity financial instruments not qualifying as hedges.
In first-half, 2024, Income from operating activities was affected by:
• net impairment losses of €293 million (compared with reversals of impairment losses of €382 million at June 30, 2023), mainly on thermal assets in Pakistan (see Note 2.1.1.2 “Assets classified as held for sale”);
• restructuring costs of €155 million (compared with €21 million in first-half 2023) (see Note 2.2 “Other highlights of the period”);
• €544 million euros in “Changes in scope of consolidation” (compared with negative €83 million euros in firsthalf 2023), mainly related to the partial disposal of a 15% stake in Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (“TAG”) and the revaluation gain on the interest in Mayakan (see Note 2.1.1 “Disposals carried out in first half 2024”); • other non-recurring items amounted to a negative €24 million (compared with a negative €4,787 million in first-half 2023).
Net financial loss amounted to €1,022 million in first-half 2024, compared with €1,327 million in first-half 2023 (see Note 6 “Net financial income/(loss)”).
Adjusted for non-recurring items, net financial loss stood at €982 million in first-half 2024, compared with €1,109 million in first-half 2023. This €127 million improvement stems from a €156 million increase in other financial income, partly offset by a €35 million rise in the cost of net debt.
Income tax in first-half 2024 was a negative €802 million (compared with a negative €871 million in first-half 2023).
Adjusted for non-recurring items, the recurring effective tax rate was 24.2% at end-June 2024, compared with 25.1% at end-June 2023, mainly due to changes in the tax base in Belgium and the Netherlands, where certain Group subsidiaries only partially recognize their deferred tax assets.
Net recurring income Group share came to €3,766 million, compared with €4,045 million in first-half 2023. This slight decrease is mainly due to the decline in EBIT, offset by the improvement in financial income.
Net income Group share amounted to €1,942 million, compared with a loss of €847 million in first-half 2023, mainly impacted by the change in income from operating activities.
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to €455 million, down €175 million compared to firsthalf 2023.
2 CHANGES IN NET FINANCIAL DEBT
Net financial debt stood at €30.2 billion, up slightly by €0.7 billion compared with December 31, 2023.
This slight increase was mainly driven by:
• capital expenditure over the period of €5.2 billion;
• dividends paid to ENGIE SA shareholders and to non-controlling interests of €3.6 billion;
• Belgian nuclear phase-out funding and expenses of €1.5 billion;
These elements were partly offset by:
• Cash Flow From Operations of €8.9 billion;
• other items for €0.7 billion.

The positive impact at June 30, 2024 is linked to the recycling effect of gas and electricity hedges unwinding in the first half.

HALF FINANCIAL REPORT
INFORMATION ON THE ENGIE GROUP
ENGIE SA, the parent company of the Group, is a French société anonyme with a Board of Directors and is subject to the provisions of Book II of the French Commercial Code (Code de Commerce), as well as to all other provisions of French law applicable to French commercial companies. It was incorporated on November 20, 2004 for a period of 99 years. It is governed by current and future laws and by regulations applicable to sociétés anonymes and its bylaws.
The Group is headquartered at 1, place Samuel de Champlain, 92400 Courbevoie (France).
ENGIE shares are listed on the Paris, Brussels and Luxembourg stock exchanges.
On August 1st, 2024, the Group’s Board of Directors approved and authorized for issue the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND METHODS
1.1 Accounting standards
In accordance with the European Regulation on international accounting standards dated July 19, 2002, the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union (1). The Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were prepared in accordance with the provisions of IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, which allows entities to present selected explanatory notes. These do not therefore incorporate all of the notes and disclosures required by IFRS for the annual consolidated financial statements, and accordingly must be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, subject to specific provisions relating to the preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements as described hereafter (see Note 1.3).
The accounting principles used to prepare the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, apart from the following developments in IFRS presented below.
1.1.1 IFRS standards, amendments or IFRIC interpretations applicable in 2024
• Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements: classification of current or non-current liabilities and non-current liabilities with covenants.
• Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.
• Amendments to IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Supplier Finance Arrangements.
These amendments have no material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
(1) Available on the European Commission’s website: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/FR/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32002R1606&from=EN
1.1.2 IFRS standards, amendments or IFRIC interpretations applicable after 2024, that the Group has elected not to early adopt
• Amendments to IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability (1).
• IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (1).
• IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (1)
• Amendments to IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Classification and measurement of financial instruments (1).
The impact of these amendments and standards is currently being assessed.
1.2 Use of estimates and judgment
1.2.1 Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine the value of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date, as well as income and expenses reported during the period.
Developments in the economic and financial environment, particularly relating to volatile commodities markets, and the war in Ukraine have prompted the Group to step up its risk oversight procedures, mainly in measuring financial instruments, and assessing counterparty and liquidity risk. The estimates used by the Group, among other things, to test for impairment and to measure provisions, also take into account this environment and the market volatility.
Accounting estimates are made in a context that remains sensitive to energy market developments, therefore making it difficult to apprehend medium- and short-term economic prospects. Particular attention has been paid to the consequences of fluctuations in the price of gas and electricity in the first half of 2024.
Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, the Group regularly revises its estimates in light of currently available information. Final outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The key estimates used in preparing the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30,2024 relate mainly to:
• measurement of the recoverable amounts of goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
(see Note 2 “Main changes in Group structure and other business highlights of the period”);
• measurement of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, and, in the current context, factoring in the uncertainty surrounding the key assumptions used, in particular updating the main valuation inputs of commodity derivatives (see Notes 7 “Financial instruments” and 8 “Risks arising from financial instruments”);
• the measurement of provisions, in particular those relating to the dismantling of nuclear facilities. These estimates also concern provisions for disputes, pensions and other employee benefits (see Note 9 “Provisions”);
• measurement of unmetered revenues (energy in the meter), for which the valuation techniques have been impacted by changes in certain customers’ consumption habits, in a context of volatility in commodities prices (see Note 5 “Revenues”);
(1) These standards and amendments have not yet been adopted by the European Union.
• the evaluation of support measures granted by certain governments, particularly in France and Romania (“tariff shield”), aimed at protecting both consumers and suppliers of gas and electricity against sharp fluctuations in commodity prices (see Note 5 “Revenues”);
• measurement of recognized tax loss carry-forwards, taking into account, where applicable, the revision of taxable income projections.
1.2.2 Judgment
As well as relying on estimates, Group management also makes judgments to define the appropriate accounting policies to apply to certain activities and transactions, particularly when the IFRS Standards and IFRIC Interpretations in force do not specifically deal with the related accounting issues.
In particular, the Group exercised its judgment in:
• assessing the type of control;
• identifying the performance obligations of sales contracts;
• determining how revenues are recognized for distribution or transmission services invoiced to customers;
• identifying “own use contracts” as defined by IFRS 9 within non-financial purchase and sale contracts (electricity, gas, etc.);
• identifying the agreements which contain lease contracts;
• identifying offsetting arrangements that meet the criteria set out in IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation (see Note 7 “Financial instruments”);
1.3 Specificities of interim financial reporting
1.3.1 Seasonality of operations
The Group’s operations are intrinsically subject to seasonal fluctuations, but key performance indicators and operating income are influenced even more by changes in climatic conditions than by seasonality. Consequently, the interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for full-year 2024.
1.3.2 Income tax expense
Current and deferred income tax expense for interim periods is calculated at the level of each tax entity by applying the average estimated annual effective tax rate for the current year to the taxable income for the interim period, with the exception of significant exceptional items. Significant exceptional items, if any, are recognized using their specific applicable taxation.
1.3.3 Pension benefit obligations
Pension costs for interim periods are calculated on the basis of the actuarial valuations performed at the end of the prior year. If necessary, these valuations are adjusted to take account of curtailments, settlements or other major non-recurring events that have occurred during the period. Furthermore, amounts recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit plans are adjusted, if necessary, in order to reflect material changes impacting the yield on investment-grade corporate bonds in the geographic area concerned (benchmark used to determine the discount rate) and the value and actual return on plan assets.

2.1 Main changes in Group structure
2.1.1 Disposals carried out in first-half 2024
The table below shows the impact of the main disposals and sale agreements of first-half 2024 on the Group’s net debt, excluding partial disposals with respect to DBSO (1) activities:

2.1.1.1 Disposal of a 15% stake in Transportadora Associada de Gás S.A. (“TAG”)
In January 2024, ENGIE finalized the sale of a 15% stake in TAG to Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) (current partner). Following this transaction, TAG is still accounted for using the equity method. The Group's interest now stands at 50%, and its net interest at 44.5%. This partial disposal reduced the Group's net financial debt by €0.4 billion and generated a net gain on disposal of €0.2 billion.
2.1.1.2 Assets classified as held for sale
Total “Assets classified as held for sale” and total “Liabilities directly associated with assets classified as held for sale” amounted to €1,234 million and €700 million, respectively, at June 30, 2024.

TOTAL LIABILITIES DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE
On July 12, 2024, the Group signed an agreement for the complete sale of its two subsidiaries, Uch Power Limited (“Uch1”) and Uch-II Power Limited (“Uch2”). The entities own and operate gas-fired power plants in Pakistan. Given the progress of the case, the sale agreement signed and the Group's intention to withdraw from the country, the Group considers that the sale of these assets is highly probable within the next 12 months. Accordingly, the assets were reclassified as “Assets held for sale” at June 30, 2024. Due to the difference between the sale price and the value of the assets, an impairment loss of €0.2 billion was recognized in the June 30, 2024 financial statements.
In March 2024, a new shareholders' agreement was signed with EXI, the minority partner in Mayakan. The agreement establishes a new shared governance structure as part of the decision to develop the new Cuxtal II project (construction of a 700 km gas pipeline, parallel to the existing pipeline, to transport gas to eastern Mexico). This transaction involves the loss of control of Mayakan, which is now accounted for using the equity method, leading to the recognition of a gain of €0.25 billion (“Changes in scope of consolidation”) in respect of the revaluation of the interest retained in the company. In addition, two Share Purchase Agreements (SPA) have been signed, which will result in ENGIE and Macquarie holding a
(1) Develop, Build, Share and Operate, a model used in renewable energies based on continuous rotation of capital employed.
TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 MAIN CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE AND OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PERIOD
50-50 equity stake in Mayakan’s share capital upon the completion of the transaction. The interest covered by a sale agreement was recognized under “Assets classified held for sale” at June 30, 2024.
Lastly, ENGIE's residual stake in Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) was also recognized under “Assets classified as held for sale” in view of the forward sale (maturing in September 2025) signed in March 2024. This transaction secures ENGIE's complete exit from the company's share capital.
2.1.2 Acquisitions carried out in first-half 2024
In total, acquisitions carried out in first-half 2024 (including financial investments in equity method entities) impacted net financial debt by €1,171 billion. The main transaction involved the acquisition of five photovoltaic complexes with a total installed capacity of 545 MW in Brazil from Atlas in March 2024. This investment is fully consolidated. This transaction had an impact of €0.6 billion on the Group’s net financial debt. The Purchase Price Allocation exercise under IFRS 3 - Business Combinations will be finalized in the second half of 2024.
2.2 Other highlights of the period
2.2.1 Other items of net income/(loss) from operating activities
Other items of net income from operating activities amounted to €72 million at June 30, 2024.
The impact of changes in the scope of consolidation amounted to a positive €544 million in first-half 2024, mainly due to the gain on the partial disposal of TAG (€0.2 billion) and the revaluation gain on the interest in Mayakan (€0.25 billion) (see Note 2.1).
Moreover, in addition to the annual impairment tests on goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets carried out in the second half of the year, the Group also tests goodwill, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, investments in equity-accounted entities and financial assets for impairment whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. During the first half of the year, the Group did not identify any major impairment risks other than those relating to the thermal assets in Pakistan that are currently being sold (see Note 2.1.1.2) and to an entity for which the Group has initiated a solvent liquidation process, and for which a restructuring provision has also been recorded.
2.2.2 Provisions for dismantling nuclear facilities
Following the opinion of the CNP (Commission for Nuclear Provisions) on June 24, 2024 concerning the cost of the dissynergies caused by the extension of the Doel 4 and Tihange 3 units, the Group recognized an additional provision for dismantling of €0.2 billion, against a receivable from the Belgian State (see Note 9 “Provisions”).

The fair value of gross borrowings and debt (excluding lease liabilities) amounted to €43,786 million at June 30, 2024, compared with a carrying amount of €45,627 million.
Financial income and expenses related to borrowings and debt are presented in Note 6 “Net financial income/(loss)”.
7.3.2 Main events of the period
7.3.2.1 Impact of changes in the scope of consolidation and in exchange rates on net financial debt
In first-half 2024, changes in exchange rates resulted in a €7 million decrease in net financial debt, including a €216 million increase in relation to the US dollar and a €303 million decrease in relation to the Brazilian real.
Disposals and acquisitions during the first half of 2024 (including the effects of changes in the scope of consolidation) impacted net debt by €739 million (see Note 2 “Main changes in Group structure and other highlights of the period”). This change mainly reflects:
• the sale of a 15% stake in TAG for €0.4 billion, in January 2024;
• the acquisition of five photovoltaic complexes in Brazil for €0.6 billion, in March 2024;
• the acquisition of nine wind farms and one photovoltaic park in France for €0.1 billion, in May 2024;
• the purchase of a 50% stake in a wind power project and a photovoltaic project in Mexico for €0.1 billion, in February 2024 (projects now wholly owned and fully consolidated by the Group);
• the acquisition of an additional 12% stake in ENGIE Romania for €0.1 billion, in February 2024.

(1) Derivatives hedging other items mainly include the interest rate component of interest rate derivatives (not qualified as hedges or qualified as cash flow hedges) that are excluded from net financial debt, as well as net investment hedge derivatives.
During first-half 2024, the Group did not make any material changes to the classification of financial instruments and did not recognize any material transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy.
The net amount of derivatives hedging commodities recognized in the statement of financial position is measured after taking into account offsetting agreements that meet the criteria set out in paragraph 42 of IAS 32. This offsetting has generated significant balance sheet effects in 2024 of approximately €5.6 billion and mainly concerns OTC derivatives concluded with counterparties for which the contractual terms provide for a net settlement of the transactions as well as a collateralization agreement (margin calls).
NOTE 8 RISKS ARISING FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group mainly uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to market risks. Financial risk management procedures are set out in Chapter 2 “Risk factors and internal control” of the 2023 Universal Registration Document.
8.1 Market risks
8.1.1 Commodities risk
8.1.1.1 Portfolio management activities
Sensitivities of the commodity-related derivatives portfolio used as part of the portfolio management activities at June 30, 2024 are detailed in the table below.
These assumptions do not constitute an estimate of future market prices and are not representative of future changes in consolidated earnings and equity, insofar as they do not include, in particular, the sensitivities relating to the underlying hedged items (commodity purchase and sale contracts) which are not recognized at fair value.

(1) The sensitivities shown above apply solely to financial commodity derivatives used for hedging purposes as part of the portfolio management activities.
The sensitivity of equity to European electricity price changes is due to the application, since 2023, of cash flow hedge accounting to certain supply activities in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, as well as on some of our production facilities in the same areas.
8.1.1.2 Trading activities
The entities carrying out the Group’s trading activities operate on organized or OTC markets in derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps, or options. Exposure to trading activities is strictly governed by daily monitoring of compliance with Value at Risk (VaR) limits.
The use of Value at Risk (VaR) to quantify market risk arising from trading activities provides a transversal measure of risk taking all markets and products into account. VaR represents the maximum potential loss on a portfolio over a specified holding period based on a given confidence interval. It is not an indication of expected results but is back-tested on a regular basis.
The Group uses a one-day holding period and a 99% confidence interval to calculate VaR, as well as stress tests, in accordance with banking regulatory requirements.
The VaR shown below corresponds to the global VaR of the Group’s trading entities.

(1) Average daily VaR.
(2) Maximum and minimum daily VaR observed in 2024.
8.2 Liquidity risk
In the context of its operating activities, the Group is exposed to a risk of having insufficient liquidity to meet its contractual obligations. In addition to the risks inherent in managing working capital requirements (WCR), margin calls are required in certain market activities, which are a way of mitigating counterparty risk on hedging instruments through the use of collateral.
The various actions taken by the Group ensure a high and reinforced level of liquidity, and have not undergone any significant change since December 31, 2023.

(1) The classification of liabilities as current or non-current reflects the effects of the agreements signed with the Belgian government on December 13, 2023 (see Note 17.2 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023). The Group will settle a large portion of this liability (€11.5 billion2022) when the laws transposing this agreement come into force, and will settle the remaining balance (€3.5 billion2022) when the extended units are restarted.
9.1 Post-employment benefits and other long-term benefits
Discount rates have increased by around 25 basis points across all geographical regions, reducing the amount of commitments by around €0.4 billion compared with December 31, 2023.
9.2 Obligations relating to nuclear power generation activities
9.2.1 Decision of the Commission for Nuclear Provisions of June 24, 2024 on the impact on dismantling provisions of a ten-year extension of Doel 4 and Tihange 3
As part of the agreements reached on December 13, 2023 between Electrabel and the Belgian State concerning the decision to extend the lifetime of the two nuclear reactors Tihange 3 and Doel 4 by ten years, the parties have agreed that the Belgian State will bear the increase in dismantling costs relating to the dis-synergies generated by the change to the initial scenario, which provided for the units to be dismantled in series rather than on a deferred basis for two of them. At June 30, 2024, the Group therefore recognized an additional provision for dismantling of €0.2 billion, against a receivable from the Belgian State. This amount was confirmed by the Commission for Nuclear Provisions (CNP) in its opinion of June 24, 2024.
The closing of the final agreement of December 2023 with the Belgian State is subject to the approval of the European Commission, which should take place at the end of 2024, the legislative texts having been adopted by the Chamber of Representatives in April 2024.

The related party transactions described in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 did not change significantly in first-half 2024.
NOTE 11 LEGAL AND ANTI-TRUST PROCEEDINGS
The Group is party to a number of legal and anti-trust proceedings with third parties or with legal and/or administrative authorities (including tax authorities) in the normal course of its business.
Disputes and investigations are described in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The developments in disputes and investigations during the first half of 2024 are presented below.
11.1 FlexGen
11.1.1 Peru – Antamina
In 2012, following a tender for the annual purchase of 170 MW for a period extending from 2015 until 2032, ENGIE Energía Perú S.A. entered into a long-term gas purchase agreement with the Peruvian mining company Antamina (the “Agreement”).
In 2021, however, Antamina launched another tender for the same annual volume and entered into three purchase agreements with three new suppliers for a period starting January 2022, until June 2024. This called into question the exclusivity that ENGIE Energía Perú S.A. believed it had been granted until 2032 under the Agreement. Following the signing of these new agreements, Antamina divided its gas procurement between ENGIE and the three new suppliers, and refused, as of January 2022, to accept exclusively from ENGIE delivery of the agreed upon quantity of gas under the Agreement and, consequently, to pay the corresponding invoices (approximately 50% of the monthly needs of Antamina).
On April 26, 2022, ENGIE Energía Perú S.A. filed an arbitration procedure against Antamina, seeking recognition of the exclusive nature of the Agreement and Antamina’s obligation to only procure gas supplies from ENGIE up to the 170 MW gas contracted, from the start date of the Agreement (January 2015) until the end date (December 2032). The procedure also seeks the payment of invoices that have been outstanding since January 2022. The arbitration procedure is governed by the rules of the Arbitration Center of the Lima Chamber of Commerce. On January 4, 2023, ENGIE Energía Perú S.A. filed its statement of claim.
On May 20, 2024, the Arbitration Center issued its decision, which was favorable to ENGIE Energía Perú S.A. The Arbitration Center ruled that ENGIE Energía Perú S.A. was to be the sole supplier of Antamina for up to 170 MW per year, and that Antamina was in breach of the signed Agreement when contracting with third-party suppliers. This award may still be challenged by Antamina, on very specific grounds.
11.1.2 Italy – Vado Ligure
On March 11, 2014, the Court of Savona seized and closed down the VL3 and VL4 coal-fired production units at the Vado Ligure thermal power plant belonging to Tirreno Power S.p.A. (TP), a company which is 50%-owned by the ENGIE group. This decision was taken as part of a criminal investigation against the present and former executive managers of TP into environmental infringements and public health risks. The investigation was closed on July 20, 2016. The case was referred to the Court of Savona to be tried on the merits. The proceedings before the Court of First Instance began on December 11, 2018 and carried on into 2023, seeking the liability of the former members of the Board of Directors and management. Third parties, including the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Ministry of Health, joined the proceedings to claim damages. On October 3, 2023, the Court of Savona acquitted all 26 directors and managers of all charges. The subsidiary Tirreno Power SpA, in which ENGIE has a 50% stake, was also acquitted. The decision was notified in January 2024. The public prosecutor appealed the decision in February 2024 along with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of the Environment, and two citizens associations.
11.1.3 Italy – exceptional tax on the energy sector
In December 2022, ENGIE filed an action against the tax authorities to obtain the reimbursement of the tax it had paid in July and November 2022 for a total amount of more than €308 million, pursuant to two legislative decrees (no. 21 and no. 50/2022) that introduced an exceptional solidarity contribution to be paid by operators in the energy sector. ENGIE contests the validity of the basis of the tax in relation to the decree’s objective, its compatibility with the Italian Constitution and its compatibility with Italy’s European commitments (EU law). In December 2023, the Milan Court of First Instance asked the Italian Constitutional Court to rule on the constitutionality of the tax as part of the proceedings launched by ENGIE. The hearing before the Constitutional Court took place on April 10, 2024 and the decision issued on June 27 was not favorable to ENGIE.
11.1.4 Chile – ENGIE Australe
The Chilean tax authorities (SII) contest the price at which ENGIE Austral (ENAU) sold its shares in Eolica Monte Redondo (EMR) to ENGIE Energía Chile (EECL) in 2020 alleging that the price at which ENAU sold EMR to EECL was significantly below market price. The price at which ENAU sold EMR to EECL was based on an external and independent valuation and opinion which was also supported by an independent market advisor. On June 28, 2024, the SII ordered ENAU to pay a penalty of 62 million of American dollars, plus interest and fines, totaling 108 million of American dollars. ENAU strongly disputes the reassessment and will take appropriate actions.
11.2 Nuclear
11.2.1 Appeal against the Belgian energy regulator’s decision implementing the law of December 16, 2022 introducing a cap on electricity producers’ market revenues
Electrabel lodged an appeal with the Belgian Market Court (Cour des Marchés) on March 29, 2023 against the decision of the Belgian energy regulator (CREG) to implement the December 16, 2022 law introducing a cap on electricity producers’ market revenues for 2022. Electrabel lodged a second action for annulment with the same court against the same regulator’s decision for 2023 revenues.
Electrabel contests the validity of this revenue cap, arguing that it is contrary to the European Regulation that introduced it, notably because it falsely determines market revenues using presumptions and not on the basis of revenues actually received, as provided for by the Regulation, and because it is implemented retroactively from August 1st, 2022, outside the period covered by the Regulation. The Market Court handed down its ruling in the first case on October 18, 2023, finding that the action was admissible and prima facie founded, and referred three questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union for a preliminary ruling. The second case was heard on January 10, 2024, and the ruling handed down on January 31 suspends delivery until the Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled on the first case.
An appeal was also lodged with the Constitutional Court in June 2023, and was joined with the actions for annulment lodged by the various partie., The Court handed down its ruling on June 20, 2024, referring 15 questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union for a preliminary ruling. Pending the judgement, and in addition to the above mentioned appeals, a claim for restitution of the tax has been lodged for 2022 and 2023, as well as an appeal to the Court of First Instance for the annulment of the 2022 and 2023 taxes.
In addition, the arbitration procedure initiated by Electrabel in October 2023 in application of the Tihange 1 and Doel 1 and 2 agreements following the adoption of the law of December 16, 2022 introducing a cap on electricity producers' market revenues is still ongoing.
11.3 Other
11.3.1 Poland – Competition procedure
On November 7, 2019, a fine of 172 million Polish zloty (€40 million) was imposed on ENGIE Energy Management Holding Switzerland AG (EEMHS) for failing to respond to a request for disclosure of documents from the Polish Competition Authority (UOKiK) in proceedings initiated by the UOKiK which suspected a potential failure to notify by EEMHS and other financial investors involved in the financing of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline (main proceeding). EEMHS filed an appeal with the Competition Protection Court. On November 7, 2023, the Court reduced the penalty to around €100,000. The UOKiK has appealed this decision to the Warsaw Court of Appeal (second instance). The proceedings are pending.
In the context of the main proceedings, on October 6, 2020, the UOKiK ordered EEMHS to pay a fine of 55.5 million Polish zlotys (approximately €12.3 million). The UOKiK also ordered the termination of the financing agreements for the Nord
Stream 2 project. On November 5, 2020, EEMHS appealed this decision with the Competition Protection Court (the
“Court”). The appeal automatically suspends the execution of all of the penalties ordered by the UOKiK. On November 21, 2022, the Court overturned the UOKiK’s decision in its entirety. The UOKiK has appealed this decision. On October 16,
2023, the Warsaw Court of Appeal (second instance) upheld the lower court’s decisions, which overturned the UOKIK’s decision in its entirety. The UOKiK has not lodged an appeal before the court of cassation. The proceedings are now definitively closed.
11.3.2 Transfer price of gas
The Belgian tax authorities’ Special Tax Inspectorate has issued two tax deficiency notices in respect of taxable income for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 for an aggregate amount of €706 million, considering that the price applied for the supply of gas by ENGIE (then GDF SUEZ) to Electrabel SA was excessive. In 2018, ENGIE and Electrabel S.A. challenged this adjustment and submitted a request for conciliation proceedings, which was concluded in May 2024. The amount corrected by the Belgian authorities was substantially reduced, and France accepted a partial correlative adjustment of €55 million.

FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
ENGIE - 2024 FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL REPORT 62
STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors’ review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group’s half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your shareholders’ meeting and in accordance with the requirements of Article L.451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
• the review of the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of ENGIE for the half-year ended June 30, 2024;
• the verification of the information contained in the half-year management report.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
1. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our limited review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 - standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
2. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
