Safran roadmap
Investing in our future
March 31, 2016
Reaping the benefits of CFM56 investment
Transitioning to LEAP
 Preparing for production
readiness: world class
supply chain, 85% of parts
are
double
sourced,
redundancy and/or buffer
stock for 100% of parts,
investments in new and
enhanced manufacturing
facilities and technology,
 Outstanding commercial
success for LEAP: 70%+
market share for future
narrowbodies
 R&D investment key to maintain technological differentiation
 Investing in successful programs : LEAP, A350, Helicopter next gen
turbines, GE9X, A330neo
 Sustained R&T for the long term: advanced materials, additive
manufacturing, more electrical aircraft, advanced propulsion systems…
 Decrease of self funded development spending as programs enter into
service; self funded R&D trending towards €1bn by end of decade
 Gradual reduction
CFM56 contribution
of
 Transitory
LEAP OE
on
losses
 CFM56 spare parts revenue to increase consistently
 Break-even on LEAP
OE by end of decade
 Expensed R&D peaking in 2017
 Recent CFM56 engines (2nd generation) to drive higher aftermarket needs.
1st generation CFM56 spare parts potential to fade out within next few years
 High confidence in aftermarket potential: 60% of CFM56 gen2 have not had
their first shop visit, CFM56 gen 2 shop visit activity will grow by more than 50%
over the next 10 years
Pursuing our development strategy
2016 outlook
 Adjusted revenue to increase by a percentage rate in the
low single digits compared to 2015 (at an estimated
average rate of USD 1.11 to the Euro).
 Adjusted recurring operating income likely to increase
by around 5% with a further increase in margin rate
compared to 2015 (at a hedged rate of USD 1.24 to the
Euro). The hedging policy largely isolates adjusted recurring
operating income from current EUR/USD variations except
for the part generated in USD by activities located in the US,
subject to the translation effect when converted into Euro.
 Free cash flow representing more than 40% of adjusted
recurring operating income, an element of uncertainty
being the rhythm of payments by state-clients.
Safran’s 2016 outlook is applicable to the Group’s structure
as of December 31, 2015 and does not take into account the
impact in 2016 of the finalisation of the regrouping of its
space launcher activities with those of Airbus Group in their
joint venture, Airbus Safran Launchers (ASL). Guidance will
be revised as necessary upon finalisation of Phase 2 of the
operation. Safran expects the contribution of its space
launchers activities to ASL to be accretive to adjusted
recurring operating margin.
2016-2020 ambition
The period 2016-2020 will see several trends, as follows:
 Renewal of the Group’s flagship product with the transition
from CFM56 to LEAP, the effect of which on OE margins will
be visible from 2016 to 2020, while maintaining an overall
margin for this segment in the mid to high teens, in particular
thanks to the momentum of the civil aftermarket activity.
 Improvement of about one point per year in the operational
performance of the Aircraft Equipment, Defense and Security
activities.
 During the transition period, the Group margin should remain
consistent with the record set in 2015.
 Average free cash flow for the period at 50% of adjusted
recurring operating income.
Safran has three objectives for 2020, exiting this transition:
 Adjusted consolidated sales in excess of 21 billion euros
(assuming average spot rate of €/$1.11 in 2016 and 1.12 over 2017-2020);
 Adjusted recurring operating margin trending above 15%
(including benefits of medium-term FX strategy);
 A very strong increase in free cash flow compared with 2015
(subject to the usual uncertainties regarding the rhythm of payments by stateclients; future opportunities will be evaluated on their merits and investments
decided as appropriate).
