or any other interests. It only includes summary information and does not claim to be comprehensive. The information contained in this presentation has not been independently verified.

This presentation may contain forward-looking statements (including objectives and trends) with respect to the financial position, results of operations, strategy, expected future business and
financial performance of Lagardère SA, which are based on management’s current views and assumptions. These data do not represent forecasts regarding Lagardère SA’s results or any

OUTLOOK

▪ Lagardère Publishing sales normalising on the back of higher attendance of social venues in 2021

   • Positive impact of new Asterix release in Q4 2021 to be offset by absence of curriculum reform in France

   • Profitability expected to benefit from favourable sales mix: 2021 operating margin* slightly above 10%

▪ Lagardère Travel Retail revenue dependent on air traffic trends: taking advantage of recovery in an efficient
  way thanks to diversified footprint and segments, in an uncertain environment due to variants

   • Minimising flow-through to 15-20% level in 2021 (vs. 2019): adjusting operational capacity to pace of
     recovery while optimising costs

   • Preserving cash by containing Capex and managing Working capital

▪ Continued efforts on Corporate cost reduction

* Lagardère Publishing recurring EBIT divided by Lagardère Publishing revenue - see Glossary.                     25

GLOSSARY (1/3)
Lagardère uses alternative performance measures which serve as key indicators of the Group's operating and financial performance.
These indicators are tracked by the Executive Committee in order to assess performance and manage the business, as well as by investors in order
to monitor the Group's operating performance, along with the financial metrics defined by the IASB. In the context of the first-time application of
IFRS 16 – Leases, effective 1 January 2019, the Group has elected to retain its existing alternative performance measures with certain modifications,
in particular the neutralisation of pure accounting effects and distortions created by the new standard on the concession's businesses. From
1 January 2019, these indicators are monitored by the Executive Committee to assess operating performance and manage the business, along
with the financial metrics defined by the IASB. These indicators are calculated based on accounting items taken from the consolidated financial
statements prepared under IFRS and a reconciliation with those items is provided either in this presentation or in the press release or in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements. A dedicated presentation relating to the impacts of IFRS 16 on the alternative performance indicators was
held on 12 February 2019 and is available on the Lagardère website
(http://www.lagardere.com/fichiers/fckeditor/File/Relations_investisseurs/Publications/2019/IFRS16/2019_Session_IFRS_16.pdf)
▪ Recurring EBIT. The Group's main performance indicator is recurring operating profit of fully consolidated companies, which is calculated as
  follows:
  Profit before finance costs and tax excluding:
  • Income (loss) from equity-accounted companies before impairment losses
  • Gains (losses) on disposals of assets
  • Impairment losses on goodwill, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment in equity-accounted companies
  • Net restructuring costs
  • Items related to business combinations:
     - Acquisition-related expenses
     - Gains and losses resulting from purchase price adjustments and fair value adjustment due to changes in control
     - Amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets
  • Specific major disputes unrelated to the Group's operating performance
  • Items related to leases and finance sub-leases:
     - Cancellation of fixed rental expense* on concession agreements
     - Depreciation of right-of-use assets on concession agreements
     - Gains and losses on leases
     (See reconciliation on page 30)
* Cancellation of fixed rental expense is equal to the repayment of the lease liability, the associated change in working capital and interest paid in the statement of cash flows   36

GLOSSARY (2/3)

▪ Flow through is calculated by dividing the change in recurring operating profit of fully-consolidated companies (recurring EBIT) by the change in revenue.
  This indicator is used by the Group in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic to measure the effect of the decline in revenue on recurring EBIT
  (See reconciliation on page 17)

▪ The like-for-like change in revenue is calculated by comparing:
  • H1 2021 revenue to exclude companies consolidated for the first time during the period, and H1 2020 revenue to exclude companies divested in H1 2021;
  • H1 2021 and H1 2020 revenue based on H1 2020 exchange rates
  (See reconciliation in note 4 to the 2021 condensed consolidated interim financial statements)

▪ Operating margin is calculated by dividing recurring EBIT of fully consolidated companies (recurring EBIT) by revenue

▪ Recurring EBITDA over a rolling 12-month period is calculated as recurring operating profit of fully consolidated companies (Group recurring EBIT) plus
  dividends received from equity-accounted companies, less depreciation and amortisation charged against property, plant and equipment and intangible
  assets, amortisation of the cost of obtaining contracts, and the cancellation of fixed rental expense* on property and other leases, plus recurring EBITDA
  from discontinued operations

▪ Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operations before changes in working capital, the repayment of lease liabilities and related interest paid,
  changes in working capital and interest paid plus net cash flow relating to acquisitions and disposals of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
  (See reconciliation on page 33)

▪ Free cash flow before changes in working capital is calculated as free cash flow deducted from the change in working capital

▪ Net debt is calculated as the sum of the following items: short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments designated as hedges
  of debt, non-current debt and current debt
  (See reconciliation on page 35)

* Cancellation of fixed rental expense is equal to the repayment of the lease liability, the associated change in working capital and interest paid in the statement of cash flows   37

GLOSSARY (3/3)

▪ Adjusted profit – Group share is calculated on the basis of profit for the period, excluding non-recurring/non-operating items, net of the related tax and
  of minority interests, as follows:
   Profit for the period excluding:
   •   Gains (losses) on disposals of assets
   •   Impairment losses on goodwill, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investments in equity-accounted companies
   •   Net restructuring costs
   •   Items related to business combinations:
       - Acquisition-related expenses
       - Gains and losses resulting from purchase price adjustments and fair value adjustments due to changes in control
       - Amortisation of acquisition-related intangible assets
   •   Specific major disputes unrelated to the Group's operating performance
   •   Tax effects of the above items
   •   Non-recurring changes in deferred taxes
   •   Items related to leases and finance sub-leases:
       -   Cancellation of fixed rental expense* on concession agreements
       -   Depreciation of right-of-use assets on concession agreements
       -   Interest expense on lease liabilities under concession agreements
       -   Gains and losses on leases
   • Adjusted profit attributable to minority interests: profit attributable to minority interests adjusted for minorities' share in the above items
   (See page 31 for reconciliation with Profit for the period)

* Cancellation of fixed rental expense is equal to the repayment of the lease liability, the associated change in working capital and interest paid in the statement of cash flows   38
