Press Release, March 9, 2020

At the Board of Directors' meeting held on March 9, 2020 to approve the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2019, Chairman Joël Séché stated:

"2019 was a year of important achievements for Séché Environnement at the strategic level and with respect to operating, financial and non-financial performance.

Our Group confirmed its internationalization strategy by adding to its facilities in Latin America and by building strong positions in Southern Africa with the acquisition of Interwaste and in Italy with the purchase of Mecomer. While the income generated outside of France increased to 25% of contributed revenue, Séché Environnement has also positioned itself in buoyant markets which are likely to accelerate our profitable growth strategy.

In its circular economy markets and the markets taking part in the fight against climate change and protecting biodiversity, Séché Environnement continues to push most of its financial and non-financial indicators higher. For several years now, the Group has been maintaining a solid pace of organic growth, improving its gross operating income, strengthening its balance sheet position through increased liquidity and flexibility and, lastly, raising the profit of its non-financial accomplishments through renewed governance, its success in generating renewable energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and its concrete efforts promoting biodiversity.

Indeed, the courses we have charted for our organization, in particular in the direction of greater industrial efficiency, have given us more relevant positioning and increased our commitment to meeting the needs of our customers in the area of industrial and environmental performance.

The financial objectives recently unveiled are fully confirmed: in 2019, we achieved a majority of the objectives we identified for 2020.

Of course, the current concern about coronavirus leads us to consider the next few months with caution. To date, this health crisis has not had a particular impact on our organization or activity, and we have taken preventive measures to protect our staff very early on.

While we remain extremely vigilant about the evolution of this crisis, our expectations for 2020 do not yet include the risk of a long-term and profound coronavirus crisis on the economic growth and industrial production of the regions in which we operate.

Despite the present context of uncertainty on the beginning of 2020, I would like to express my confidence in the ability of our Group to successfully complete the roadmap through to 2022 which we outlined last December.

This roadmap should present the picture of a more internationalized group over out timeframe, with gross operating income 2% above the current level and substantial reduction in debt, excluding acquisitions.

This is a portrait of a group in a strong position to continue its future financial and non-financial value- creating growth in France and internationally by offering concrete solutions to the crucial environmental challenges facing our Earth."

Summary of the Group's activity, income

and financial situation at December 31, 2019

During 2019, Séché Environnement confirmed its international acquisition strategy, taking control of Peruvian company Kanay, Interwaste in South Africa, Mecomer in Italy and Ciclo in Chile. These acquisitions represent total full-year revenue of nearly €115m.

Over the period, the Group saw robust organic growth in most of its markets in France and worldwide, in line with its forecasts.

The improvement in gross operating income (EBITDA/revenue) enabled the Group to maintain its financial flexibility at a level in line with objectives, despite a high level of industrial and financial investments.

It should be noted that this excellent operating and financial performance was achieved even though some facilities were partially unavailable in H2 2019 due to investments to modernize some incineration plants, the restarting of the Strasbourg-Sénerval incinerator and the impacts of the Lubrizol factory fire on our Triadis facilities in Rouen.

The Group therefore reiterates that it has the capacity to achieve its economic, operational and financial objectives for 20201 and to adhere to the roadmap it has laid down through to 20222.

Solid organic growth - International scope effect

With contributed revenue3 of €687.8m, up 22.7% compared to 2018, Séché Environnement is reporting strong growth in its consolidated activities, reflecting both the quality of its organic growth across its historic scope of operations (+4.4%) and the contribution of its expanded international scope (+€102.5m).

Across the scope of its historic operations, the Group saw solid growth in France (+4.1%) where it benefited from a buoyant economic environment while its international subsidiaries (up +6.7% at constant scope and exchange rates) confirm the solid performance of its core markets.

In 2019, Séché Environnement came within range of meeting its 2020 contributed revenue target.

1See the press release of June 26, 2018.

2See the press release of December 17, 2019.

• Contributed revenue refers to reported revenue minus IFRIC 12 revenue and diversion compensation collected by Sénerval (net of variable cost savings on metric tons not incinerated, collected to cover the costs laid out to ensure continuity of public service). IFRIC 12 revenue corresponds to the amount of investments in service concessions, which are booked as both intangible fixed assets and as revenue in accordance with the recommendations of IFRIC 12.

Press Release, March 9, 2020

Improved operating income

Consolidated operating income increased substantially.

In particular, Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) totaled €135.4m (+24.6%), reflecting a further increase in gross operating profit, which rose to 19.7% of contributed revenue (vs. 19.4% in 2018).

The good operating performance was due to:

primarily volume effects in France combined with favorable pricing effects that buoyed the treatment activities of two divisions. However, these same divisions had to contend with a loss of €(7.2)m related to one-time effects stemming from the unavailability of certain processing facilities and the non-renewal of the partial property tax exemption secured in 2018;

mainly the contribution from the entities acquired in 2019, which came to €18.4m, for international business.

At constant scope, EBITDA reached €117.0m, i.e. 20% of contributed revenue, thereby achieving the objective set in 2019 for 2020.

Current operating income (COI) stood at €47.8m (+8.1%), or 7.0% of contributed revenue (vs. 7.9% in 2018).

The increase in COI reflects the positive EBITDA trend, but some charges were incurred:

in France, a non-recurring amortization expense of €2.8m in connection with the startup of the new landfill sites;

Internationally, amortization expenses of €3.0m on intangible assets relating to the entities acquired in 20194.

Operating income came to €46.8m, i.e. 6.8% of contributed revenue (vs. €38.0m, i.e. 6.8% of contributed revenue in 2018).

Increase in net income, Group share

Financial income came out to €(17.5)m vs. €(13.4)m in 2018. On the one hand, this change reflects the increase in the cost of net debt (sharp increase in average net financial debt for the period in conjunction with the financing of acquisitions, and the increase in the cost of gross debt, reflecting recent refinancing and its effect on the extension of debt maturity) and, on the other, the impact of miscellaneous financial expenses of €(1.7)m.

After recognizing the minority interests booked at €(1.1)m vs. €(0.6)m a year ago, net income (Group share) was €17.8m, vs. €15.6m in 2018 (+14.1%).

Solid financial position showing preserved flexibility and an improved liquidity position

At December 31, 2019, the Group had free operating cash flow5 of €56.7m (vs. €38.4m in 2018, reflecting an increase of 47.7% for the period).

As a result, the cash conversion rate came out to 42% of EBITDA, a level substantially higher than the objective of 35% set for 2020.

Free cash totaled €92,3m at December 31, 2019 (vs. €66.8m one year earlier) and help to strengthen the group's liquidity position to €287.3m (vs. €261.6m at December 31, 2018).

Industrial investments reached €72.5m in 2019 (vs. €65.1m the previous year), i.e. 10.5% of contributed revenue, in line with the Group's medium-term objectives (between 10% and 11%)6.

After financial investments of €69,8m representing acquisitions made in 2019 and the integration of €26.9m representing the net financial debt of the acquired entities, the net consolidated financial debt (according to the banking definition) came to €399.4m at December 31, 2019 (vs. €317.4m one year ago).

The financial leverage ratio was brought to the manageable level of 3.1x EBITDA (vs. 2.9x one year ago), a level substantially below the 3.95x set out in the financial covenant -which could be raised to 4.2x in the event of any acquisitions.

Outlook for 2020 confirmed7

Confidence in the ability adhere to the roadmap through to

20228

Outlook for 2020 confirmed

Ongoing positive trends in France and the main international markets allow Séché Environnement to expect consolidated growth to remain at its current level, with quality growth in France and a strong increase in international activity.

In this lasting favorable environment, the first effects of the industrial efficiency plan and the cost savings plan should take gross operating margin (EBITDA / contributed revenue) higher in 2020 compared to 2019, to 20% of contributed revenue in both France and internationally (at constant scope).

Séché Environnement has a major investment program for 2020, with projects to expand international capacity in South Africa (Interwaste), Italy (Mecomer) and Chile (Ciclo project).

In organizational terms, it will invest in a new ERP solution over three years from 2020, which, among other benefits, will better structure oversight of its operations in line with the Group's operational optimization policy.

All of these development projects should total around €30m in 2020, in addition to the Group's standard maintenance and development investments (estimated at around 11% of contributed revenue). Investments will be made in line with the objective of free cash flow generation (35% of EBITDA) and financial flexibility, with the financial leverage ratio maintained at around 3.0x EBITDA at the end of 2020 (at constant scope).

Confidence in the ability to achieve the roadmap through to 2022

Séché Environnement presented its basic strategic guidelines regarding market positioning, development, and its industrial and organizational policies, which translate into the following outlook:

Development strategy:

In France, Séché Environnement intends to continue expanding in the high added value businesses of the circular economy, in particular in the recovery of scarce resources from hazardous waste and energy recovery from non-hazardous waste, as well as in added value service activities.

Press Release, March 9, 2020

Internationally, the Group plans to take significant positions in emerging economies offering solid growth prospects in terms of volume and value, buoyed by the tightening of local environmental standards and rising barriers to entry. To achieve this, the strong organic growth expected on these markets could be enhanced by small-scale acquisitions if opportunities arise.

Growth prospects:

Séché Environnement expects contributed revenue to amount to between €750m and €800m at the end of 2022, with around 30% generated internationally (compared with around 25% in 2019) - at constant scope.

Prospects for operating income and cash flow generation:

Profitable growth, industrial efficiency and productivity gains enable Séché Environnement to set a target EBITDA of between 21% and 22% of contributed revenue.

The free cash flow generation9 target of 35% of 2022 EBITDA is fully confirmed, with an improved financial leverage ratio (net financial debt / EBITDA) of below 3.0x 2022 EBITDA - excluding acquisitions - (vs. a mid-cycle ratio of around 3.0x).

Consolidated reported data at current exchange rates

At constant exchange rates, contributed revenue at December 31, 2018 was €560.7m, illustrating a negative foreign exchange effect of €(0.2)m.

During 2019, growth was supported by the positive trend in most business activities in France and solid performances internationally:

In France, contributed revenue totaled €516.7m at December 31, 2019 vs. €496.5m one year earlier, reflecting an increase of +4.1% for the period.

Within the recovery and treatment sectors, most business lines did well in terms of activity, driven by the solid showing of industrial markets, the stability of contracts with local authorities and the implementation of the circular economy. Treatment businesses are trending particularly well while Services saw higher activity in the second half of the year within the Hazardous Waste Division, with excellent performance turned in by environmental emergency services.

Revenue earned in France accounted for 75.1% of contributed revenue in 2019 (vs. 88.6% in 2018).

Internationally, revenue totaled €171.1m at December 31, 2019 vs. €64.0m one year earlier. This change reflects the contribution of the subsidiaries incorporated into the consolidation scope over the period, which comes to €102.5m.

At constant scope, revenue earned by international subsidiaries totaled €68.6m, up +7.2% at current exchange rates and +6.7% at constant exchange rates. Growth on an organic basis outside France is mainly fueled by the business momentum of the subsidiaries in Chile (+53.0%). Solarca (industrial services) saw business performance decline (-9.8%) compared to a particularly dynamic 2018.

Revenue earned by international subsidiaries accounted for 24.9% of contributed revenue in 2019 (vs. 11.4% in 2019).

Consolidated reported data at current exchange rates

During the 2019 business year, the waste treatment and recovery subsidiaries in France were boosted by the solid showing of its industrial markets, the stability of contracts with local authorities, and, more broadly, by the favorable regulatory environment related to the development of the circular economy. Outside France, the Group justified its vibrant market penetration strategy, in particular in connection with the entities acquired in 2017 and 2019.

The HW division (65.5% of contributed consolidated revenue) recorded revenue of €450.5m at December 31, 2019, up +28.8% compared to last year.

This strong increase reflects a scope effect (€75.1m) and, across the historic scope, healthy industrial markets in France and Internationally:

In France, the division brought in €310.4m in revenue, representing growth of +7.9% compared to last year.

Over the period, the subsidiary's growth was driven by still buoyant industrial markets in terms of volume and prices. These positive commercial effects benefited waste treatment activities while services, in particular Decontamination services, made up for the project delays incurred early in the year in H2 thanks to the excellent performance turned in by the SUI subsidiary's environmental emergency intervention services;

Internationally, the division's revenue totaled €140.1m at December 31, 2019 vs. €62.1m one year earlier).

This revenue figure factors in a scope effect of €75.1m linked to the full-year integration of Kanay and Interwaste and the nine-month integration of Mecomer.

Across the historic scope, revenue from subsidiaries outside France stood at €65.0m, up +4.7% compared to 2018 at current exchange rates (+4.1% at constant exchange rates). This increase reflects a dynamic market penetration strategy that supports strong growth in treatment volumes, in particular in Latin America (Chile, etc.), while Solarca's volumes (services) are weighed against the brisk business it did in 2018.

With contributed revenue of €237.3m, up +12.6% compared to December 31, 2018 (€210.8m), the NHW Division accounted for 34.5% of contributed revenue.

The increase in revenue of this subsidiary included a scope effect of €27.4m, reflecting the contribution from Interwaste.

Press Release, March 9, 2020

Across the historic scope, the division's contributed revenue at December 31, 2019 stood at €209.9m, a slight -0.5% decline compared to 2018:

In France, the division brought in revenue of €206.3m, a small drop of -1.3% compared to last year. While the division benefited fully from the implementation of regulations related to the circular economy, which support its recovery and treatment operations (+7.0%), Decontamination activities were down sharply (-25.9%) compared to 2018;

Internationally, revenue totaled €3.6m at December 31, 2019 (vs. €1.9m one year earlier). The division's organic growth reflects, in particular, the major increase in the contribution from SAN in Chile.

Consolidated reported data at current exchange rates

Treatment activities brought in €339.8m at December 31, 2019 (vs. €280.2m one year earlier).

This change reflects a scope effect of €46.1m attributable to the consolidation of the waste treatment activities of Kanay, Mecomer and Interwaste.

At constant scope, revenue from treatment activities was €293.7m, reflecting organic growth of +4.8% for the period:

In France, this activity grew +2.7%. It benefited from favorable price and volume effects in connection with a good level of industrial output, which supported the hazardous waste incineration businesses, while the non-hazardous waste recovery and treatment businesses were supported by a favorable market environment and the enactment of regulations associated with the circular economy;

Internationally, treatment activities were up significantly (+53.8%) due to the profitable growth registered in Chile.

Treatment activities accounted for 49.4% of contributed revenue (vs. 50.0% in 2018).

Recovery activities brought in €102.4m in contributed revenue at December 31, 2019 (vs. €94.0m in 2018).

This increase included a scope effect of €2.5m linked to the consolidation of Interwaste's recovery activities.

11 / 24

Press Release, March 9, 2020

At constant scope, revenue was up +6.2% to €99.9m:

In France, the revenue brought in by recovery activities stands at €78.7m (+9.3%) buoyed by positive developments in hazardous waste recovery activities (chemical purification) and by the contribution of energy recovery activities, which are benefiting from the upgrading of the SFR furnace-boiler in Changé;

Internationally, revenue fell slightly (-1.2%) to €21.2m, hurt by changes at Valls Quimica (Regeneration) whose activities are increasingly focused on businesses with higher value added against a backdrop of less buoyant economic conditions in Spain.

Recovery activities accounted for 14.9% of contributed revenue (vs. 16.8% in 2018);

Services activities recorded contributed revenue of €245.6m at December 31, 2019 (vs. €186.2m one year earlier).

The scope effect amounted to €54.0m due to the consolidation of Interwaste's service activities.

At constant scope, services activities were stable compared to the previous period (+0.7%) but their performance reflects sharp disparities from division to division (see above):

In France, the revenue brought in by services stood at €161.6m, up +3.9% over the period. Furthermore, the lower revenue generated by Decontamination activities at the beginning of the year was offset by a higher level of activity in the second half of the year, in particular that of the Séché Urgences Interventions Division, which specializes in environmental emergencies;

Internationally, revenue came in at €30.1m, showing a modest decline of -2.0% attributable to Solarca (chemical purification) whose 2019 performance compares unfavorably to 2018's very high level of activity.

Services activities accounted for 35.7% of contributed revenue (vs. 33.2% in 2018).

Change in EBITDA

As at December 31, 2019, consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) rose +24.6% from 2018, to €135.4m, representing 19.7% of contributed revenue (vs. €108.7m, or 19.4% of contributed revenue, one year earlier).

This increase of +€26.7m compared to 2018 was primarily due to:

the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 in the amount of +€8.3m;

a scope effect of +€18.4m tied to the integration of companies acquired over the period was recognized, i.e. 18.1% of earned revenue.

It should be noted that except for Kanay, whose activity was hurt in 2019 by less profitable decontamination contracts, gross operating income within the scope is expected to reach 20.2% of revenue;

like-for-like12:

• the growth in operating margin, equal to +€7.2m, due to volume effects and positive price effects related to a solid level of business, particularly in treatment tools;
• The recognition of non-recurring charges of €(7.2)m, of which €(3.2)m related to the non-renewal of the property tax exemption which the Group enjoyed in 2018 and €(4.0)m due to the partial unavailability of facilities in the second half of the year.
  Excluding these one-offs, gross operating profitability stood at 19.8% of contributed revenue.

Consolidated reported data at current exchange rates

For each geographic scope, the main changes to gross operating performance were:

In France, EBITDA totaled €104.5m, or 20.2% of contributed revenue (vs. €97.0m, i.e. 19.5% of contributed revenue in 2018), which places the profitability of this area of operations in a range above the level set for 2020 (20%). This +€7.5m increase for the period mainly reflects:

• the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 in the amount of €6.4m;
• positive volume and price effects, which have helped treatment activities, all divisions combined;
• the one-time effects of partial unavailability due to the shutdown of Salaise 2, the restarting of the Strasbourg-Sénerval incinerator and the partial closing of Triadis facilities in Rouen (Lubrizol factory fire) in the amount of €(4.0)m;
• the impacts of the non-renewal of an exemption of a portion of property tax in the amount of €(3.2)m.

Excluding these one-time effects, the gross operating income of French operations came out at 21.6% of contributed revenue.

Press Release, March 9, 2020

Internationally, EBITDA totaled €30.9m, or 18.1% of contributed revenue (vs. €11.7m, i.e. 18.3% of contributed revenue in 2018).

This increase (+€19.2m) is due to:

• the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 in the amount of €1.9m;
• the scope effect of €18.4m attributable to the integration of the companies acquired in 2019 into the consolidation scope. Gross operating income brought in by the acquired entities came to 18.0% of earned revenue;
• like-for-like: there was a slight decline of €(1.2)m due to the lower contribution by Solarca's activities (Services) and the PCB markets in Mexico, which compares unfavorably to the high level of activity and profitability in 2018.

Gross operating income across the historic scope of operations came to 18.1% of revenue at December 31, 2019.

Change in Current Operating Income

At December 31, 2019, current operating income stood at €47.8m, or 7.0% of contributed revenue (vs. €44.2m, i.e. 7.9% of contributed revenue in 2018).

This increase is due to:

the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 in the amount of +€0.5m;

the +€10.5m scope effect resulting in current operating margin of 10.2% for the acquired entities.

It should be noted that this contribution includes the amortization of intangible asset in the amount of €(3.0)m, recognized when Interwaste and Mecomer were acquired. These intangible assets will be amortized as required by IFRS 3, over a period of five years for Interwaste and seven years for Mecomer.

Adjusted for these amortization expenses, the current operating income of the acquired entities stands at 13.2% of earned revenue;

like-for-like, EBITDA totaled €36.8m, or 6.3% of contributed revenue (vs. €44.2m the previous year). This difference reflects the lower contribution of EBITDA at constant scope and the increase (+€7.4m) in net depreciation and amortization expenses, of which €2.8m represents a non-recurring amortization charge linked to the construction of new landfill sites in France.

% of contributed revenue	7.9%	7.3%	12.5%	7.0%	6.2%	9.1%

Consolidated reported data at current exchange rates

For each geographic scope, the main changes were:

In France, current operating income totaled €32.2m, or 6.2% of contributed revenue (vs. €36.2m, i.e. 7.3% of contributed revenue in 2018).

This change is attributable to:

• the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 in the amount of +€0.4m;
• the contribution of EBITDA (+€1.2m) less the increase in amortization and depreciation expenses of €(5.6)m, of which €(2.8)m relates to the non-recurring amortization of investments in the creation of new landfill sites.

Press Release, March 9, 2020

Internationally, COI totaled €15.6m, or 9.1% of contributed revenue (vs. €8.0m, i.e. 12.5% of contributed revenue in 2018).

This +€7.6m difference includes:

• the impact of the first-time application of IFRS 16 in the amount of +€0.1m;
• a €10.5m scope effect, i.e. current operating income representing 10.2% of the revenue brought in by the entities incorporated into the consolidation scope.
  It should be noted that this total includes, in the amount of €(3.0)m, the amortization of intangible assets following the acquisition of Interwaste and Mecomer (application of IFRS 3). Excluding these amortization charges, the current operating income of the acquired entities stands at 13.2% of earned revenue;
• like-for-like, the contribution of EBITDA, namely €(1.2)m, less amortization charges and provisions in the amount of €(1.8)m. Across the historic scope of operations, COI came out to 7.1% of revenue in 2019.

Change in Operating Income

At December 31, 2019, operating income totaled €46.8m, i.e. 6.8% of contributed revenue (vs. €38.0m, or 6.8% of contributed revenue one year earlier).

This change mainly reflects:

• the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 in the amount of +€0.5m;
• various effects, including:
• • a loss of €(0.7)m on non-consolidated investments;
  • an expense of €(0.7)m related to the effects of business combination.

Change in Financial Income

At December 31, 2019, financial income came out to €(17.5)m compared to €(13.4)m one year earlier.

This €(4.1)m difference is due to:

the impact of the first-time adoption of IFRS 16 in the amount of €(0.9)m;

a modest increase of €15,7m in the cost of net debt (vs. €13.9m last year) linked to the increase in average net financial debt combined with an increase in the cost of gross debt to 3.04% (vs. 2.86% in 2018), attributable to the longer maturities obtained during the debt refinancing operation in May 2019;

a variation of €(1.7)m in other financial income and expenses (vs. +€0.6m in 2018), of which:

• a non-recurring effect of the thirty-year provision in the amount of €(0.5)m;
• impairment losses booked for non-consolidated investments of €(0.4)m;
• the impact of currency fluctuations in the amount of €(0.3)m.

Change in Corporate Tax expense

In 2019, the Corporate Tax expense was €10.4m (vs. €8.8m in 2018) due to the improvement in the Group's profit-making capacity. The effective tax rate came out to 35.41%, due in particular to the prudent approach to the activation of tax loss carryforwards.

Change in the Share of Net Income of Affiliates

The share of net income of associates was primarily composed of the Group's share in the income of GEREP and SOGAD. It was immaterial as of December 31, 2019 (vs. €0.4m in 2018, with this amount including Kanay).

After booking the minority interest share in that income (€1.1m vs. €0.6m in 2018, representing in particular the minority interest shares in Solarca and Mecomer), net income (Group share) stood at €17.8m (vs. €15.6m for 2018).

As a reminder, this includes the impact of the first-time application of IFRS 16 in the amount of €(0.4)m.

Net earnings per share came out to €2.27 compared to €2.20 at December 31, 2018.
