Altice France S.A. - Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - June 30, 2020

1. Basis of preparation

Altice France (hereinafter "the Company" or "the Gr oup") is a limited liability corporation ( société anonyme) formed under French law in August 2013 with headquarters in France.

Created subsequent to the merger of Numericable and SFR, the Group Altice France aims to become, on the back of the largest fiber optic network and a leading mobile network, the national leader in France in very-high-speedfixed-line/mobile convergence. The Group has major positions in all segments of the French B2C, B2B, local authorities and wholesale telecommunications market.

Altice France has adopted a new and increasingly integrated model around access and content convergence. Its division Media includes SFR Presse companies, which cover the Group's Press activities in France (Libération, etc.) and NextRadioTV, which covers the Group's audiovisual activities in France (RMC Sport, BFM TV, BFM Business, BFM Paris, RMC, RMC Découverte,…). In 201 8, it also insourced its major providers of technical and maintenance services and customer services (Altice Technical Services France and Altice Customer Services). It also improved its positioning in the French Overseas Territories market via the acquisition of Outremer Telecom.

As of June 30, 2020, Altice Europe directly or indirectly held 100% of the capital of Altice France S.A.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared and approved by the Company's Board of Directors on July 29, 2020.

1.1. Basis of preparation of financial information

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group as of June 30, 2020 and for the six-month period then ended, are presented in millions of Euros, except as otherwise stated, and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. They should be read in conjunction with the Group's 2019 annual consolidated financial statements and the notes which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in the European Union ("IFRS ") (the "annual consolidated financial statements").

The accounting policies applied for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020 do not differ from those applied in the annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2020.

1.2. New standards and interpretations

Standards and interpretations applied from January 1, 2020

The following standards have mandatory application for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 as described in note 1.2.2 to the annual consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 - Definition of material, effective on or after January 1, 2020;
  • Amendments to IFRS 3 - Definition of a business, effective on or after January 1, 2020;
  • Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, effective on or after January 1, 2020;
  • Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendment to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7), effective on or after January 1, 2020.

The application of amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8, IFRS 3 and to References of the Conceptual Framework in IFRS standards had no material impact on the amounts recognised and on the disclosures in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations not yet applied

The Group has not early adopted the following standards and interpretations, for which application is not mandatory for period started from January 1, 2020 and that may impact the amounts reported:

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture, effective date of the amendments has not yet been determined by the IASB;
  • Amendments in Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments to IAS 1), effective on or after January 1, 2023;
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, effective on or after January 1, 2022; and
  • Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases, Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions, effective on or after June 1, 2020.

5

Altice France S.A. - Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - June 30, 2020

The Board of Directors anticipates that the application of those amendments will not have a material impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities.

Significant accounting judgments and estimates

In the application of the Group's accounting policies, the Board of Directors of the Company is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

These key areas of judgments and estimates, as disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements are:

  • Estimations of provisions for claims and restructuring plans;
  • Measurement of post-employments benefits;
  • Revenue recognition;
  • Fair value measurement of financial instruments;
  • Measurement of deferred taxes;
  • Impairment of intangible assets;
  • Estimation of useful lives of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment;
  • Estimation of impairment losses for contract assets and trade receivables; and
  • Determination of the right of use and lease liabilities.

As of June 30, 2020, there were no changes in the key areas of judgements and estimates.

At the expiration of the exchange offer, a total of $1,562 million (accounting for 97.63% of the outstanding aggregate principal) of the 2027 Altice Luxembourg Dollar Senior Notes and €1,317 million (accounting for 94.10% of the outsta nding aggregate principal) of the 2027 Altice Luxembourg Euro Senior Notes were tendered and accepted.

Update on the COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global pandemic, highlighting the health risks of the disease. In this context and following regulatory requirements published by governments over the last months in the countries in which the Group operates, the Group activated a response program in order to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (please refer to Note 36 of the annual consolidated financial statements for further detail).

The COVID-19 had a limited impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group as of June 30, 2020 and for the six-month period then ended. Indeed, the Group has been impacted by a decline in handsets sales (low margin activity) in the context of the closure of the shops in many countries where the Group operates, a decrease in roaming revenue, some delays in the construction of FTTH homes passed in France and a decline in the advertising businesses (NextRadioTV) but the impact has been limited, since the beginning of the crisis demonstrating a resilient Telecom business over the countries where the Group operates. Although the situation continues to evolve, the Company expects that the COVID-19 will have limited effects on the Group's operations and financial performance for future periods.

As part of economic measures meant to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on industry, the French State announced a series of measures, some of which the Group had recourse to during the mandatory quarantine period, especially partial unemployment. The Group decided to apply for partial unemployment for around 4,600 employees whose jobs were directly impacted by the mandatory quarantine imposed by the French state. As part of the agreement, the French State paid the concerned employees the equivalent of 84% of their fixed and variable pay per month and the Group paid the remaining 16%. There were no restrictions associated with using this measure.

The Group has taken this situation into account in its estimates, notably those related to the non-current and current assets valuation (including goodwill). The valuation of the non-current and current assets has not been adjusted as of June 30, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Based on the information above, the Group considers that the assessment of the going concern assumption for the Group is not impacted.

Financing flows with Altice Group entities

For the six months ended June 30, 2020:

  • The Group increased its receivable position with Altice Group Lux S.à.R.L. for an additional amount of €175 million;
  • The Group also repaid a portion of its debt towards Altice Luxembourg S.A. for an aggregate amount of €180 million;
  • The Group also entered provided a short term loan to its direct shareholder Altice France Holding S.A. for an aggregate amount of €118 million.

Transfer of Libération by Altice France to a non-profit organization

On May 14, 2020, Altice France announced that it would transfer Libération, the daily newspaper, to Presse Indépendante SAS, a management and holding company to be owned by a non-profit organization Fonds de Dotation pour une Presse Indépendante ("FDPI" ). Although FDPI would not manage Presse Indépendante nor Libération, it would be entitled to future profitsthat would in turn be redistributed to other non-profit organizations.

As part of the project, Altice France will make an initial donation to FDPI, which FDPI can then use to invest into Presse Indépendante, which will in turn acquire theshares in Libération and consequently repay Libération's debts and finance its future operations. This project will notably ensure the editorial, economic and financial independence of Libération in the long term.

The sale is planned for the end of August or early September 2020. Following the closing of the transaction, the Group will no longer exercise control over Libération and therefore the assets and associated liabilities of Libération were classified as held for sale as perthe provisions of IFRS 5 - Non-currentsassets held for sale and discontinued operations. The estimated capital loss has been recorded in the statement of income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 for €32.2 million in the caption "other expenses and income".

Restructuring plan at NextRadioTV

On May 19, 2020, NextRadioTV announced a restructuring plan to take into account the changing environment for the media industry in France and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the advertising market. This plan, based on voluntary departures, aims at reducing the employee workforce by limiting the use of part time workers, freelancers and consultants. Since as of June 30, 2020, the details had not been shared with the workers' council and the conditions of the departure plan were not yet final, management considers that the conditions for recording a provision are not met as per IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets as of June 30, 2020.

3. Change in scope

Over the period ended June 30, 2020, the main changes in the consolidation scope are described as follows:

  • Additional participation in Rhon'Telecom S.A.S. by Altice Technical Services France S.A.R.L.;
  • Additional participation in Moselle Telecom S.A.S. by SFR S.A.;
  • Additional participation in Irisé S.A.S. by SFR SA. .;
  • Disposal of SFR Business Solutions Morocco S.A. by Altice France S.A. to Intelcia IT Solutions S.A.;
  • Disposal of Informatique Telematique Ocean Indien S.A.R.L.;
  • Creation of the company Keos Telecom S.A.S.;
  • Creation of the company Ypso Finance Bis S.A.;
  • Acquisition of RMC Films S.A.S.;
  • Deconsolidation of Audience Square S.A.S.

These changes in scope had no material impact on the financial statements of the Group.

4. Financial Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs")

The Board of Directors has defined certain financial KPIs that are tracked and reported by each operating segment every month to the senior executives of the Company. The Board of Directors believes that these indicators offer them the best view of the operational and financial efficiency of each segment and this follows best practices in the rest of the industry, thus providing investors and other analysts a suitable base to perform their analysis of the Group's results.

The financial KPIs tracked by the Board of Directors are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Revenues;
  • Capital expenditure ("Capex"); and
  • Operating free cash flow ("OpFCF").

Adjusted EBITDA, Capex and OpFCF are non-GAAP measures. These measures are useful to readers of Altice's financial statements as they provide a measure of operating results excluding certain items that Altice's management believe are either outside of its recurring operating activities, or items that are non-cash. Excluding such items enables trends in the Group's operating results and cash flow generation to be more easily observable. The non-GAAP measures are used by the Group internally to manage and assess the results of its operations, make decisions with respect to investments and allocation of resources, and assess the performance of management personnel. Such performance measures are also, de facto, the metrics used by investors and other members of the financial community to value other companies operating in the same industry as the Group and thus are a basis for comparability between the Group and its peers. Moreover, the debt covenants of the Group are based on the Adjusted EBITDA and other associated metrics. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used in the covenant has not changed with the adoption of IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers and IFRS 16 - Leases by the Group.

8

Altice France S.A. - Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - June 30, 2020

  • Adjusted EBITDA

Following the application of IFRS 16, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, other expenses and incomes (capital gains, non-recurring litigation, restructuring costs and management fees), share-based expenses and after operating lease expenses (i.e., straight-line recognition of the rent expense over the lease term as performed under IAS 17 for operating lease). This may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Further, this measure should not be considered as an alternative for operating income as the effects of depreciation, amortization and impairment, excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, do ultimately affect the operating results. Operating results presented in the annual consolidated financial statements are in accordance with IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements.

  • Capex

Capex is an important indicator to follow, as the profile varies greatly between activities:

    • The fixed business has fixed capex requirements that are mainly discretionary (network, platforms, general), and variable capex requirements related to the connection of new customers and the purchase of Customer Premise Equipment (TV decoder, modem, etc.).
    • Mobile capex is mainly driven by investment in new mobile sites, upgrade to new mobile technology and licenses to operate; once engaged and operational, there are limited further capex requirements.
    • Other capex is mainly related to costs incurred in acquiring content rights.
  • Operating free cash flow

OpFCF is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less Capex. This may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. Further, this measure should not be considered as an alternative for operating cash flow as presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with IAS 7 - Statement of cash flows.

(716.6)

The interest relative to gross financial debt decreased from €434.6 million as of June 30, 2019 to €38 5.3 million as of June 30, 2020. This decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in our cost of debt, resulting from the debt refinancings performed in 2018 and 2019.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the net gain realized on derivative instruments is mainly due to a favourable variation in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. This caption also includes a one off income related to the monetisation of certain CCS for an aggregate amount of €236.3 million, which was offset by negative variation of the FX rate effect on the restructured cross currency swaps. The realized and unrealized FX gain on CCS is offset by the unrealized FX loss on the debts.

6. Income tax expense

For interim condensed financial statements, the tax expense or tax income on profit or loss is determined in accordance with IAS 34, based on the best estimate of the annual average tax rate expected for the full fiscal year, restated for non-recurring items (which are recorded in the period as incurred).

In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group uses the fair value method to recognise its derivative instruments.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments (cross currency swaps) traded over-the-counter is calculated on the basis of models commonly used by traders to measure these types of instruments. The resulting fair values are checked against bank valuations.

The measurement of the fair value of derivative financial instruments includes a "counterparty risk" c omponent for asset derivatives and an "own credit risk" comp onent for liability derivatives. Credit risk is measured using a simplified model derived from Basel II for calculating exposure risk and using market data to determine the probability of default.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the following changes were made to the Group's derivative instruments:

  • Altice France Holding mirror swap: the Group entered into a back to back swap with its direct shareholder, Altice France Holding, in order to hedge a new dollar denominated debt issued by Altice France Holding. The characteristics of the swap are as follows:
    • Altice France with financing counterparties: CCS with a USD leg of $1,150.9 million/ EUR leg of €1,046.0 million with a USD receiving rate of 6.00% and a EUR paying rate of 4.06%;
    • Altice France with Altice France Holding: CCS with a EUR leg of €1,046.0 million/USD leg of $1,150.9 million with a USD paying rate of 6.00% and a receiving rate of EUR 4.06%.

The Group modified the conditions of existing swaps associated with the 2026 USD notes and the TLB 11 loan:

Altice France S.A. - Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - June 30, 2020

Other modifications to the Group's derivative instr uments are listed below.

  • Modification of a USD receiving/EUR paying CCS ($851.9 million/€768.4 million), where the EUR paying rate was changed from 5.744% to 4.783%. The Group also entered into a new fixed to floating swap with the same counterparty, for the same nominal amounts, with USD receive rate of USD libor 6m+ 3% and a EUR paying rate of 4.783%. This new swap has a forward start in May 2026, with a maturity date of May 2030.
  • Removal of mandatory breaks on a swap nominal of $1,790 million associated with the USD TLB 12. Previous mandatory breaks were all positioned in 2020. Following the removal of the mandatory breaks, the Euro paying rate was adjusted for almost all legs of the swap. The new weighted average euro paying rate increased from Euribor 3m+3.124% to Euribor 3m+3.244%.

Following these modifications, the Group received a net amount of €236.3 million as cash from the rest rike of the CCS, which was also recorded as income in the consolidated statement of income. The income was offset by a negative variation of the fair value of the restructured CCS swaps. The realized and unrealized FX gain on CCS is offset by the unrealized FX loss on the debts.

The Group also entered into new IRS swaps for a total nominal amount of €3,400 million, with two legs as described below:

  • A floating to fixed swap with an average receive fixed rate of 6.139% and a floating pay rate of Euribor 6m+3% from 2020 to 2024;
  • A fixed to floating swap with an average fixed paying rate of 4.627% and an average receive rate of Euribor 6m+3% from 2020 to 2030.

On an annual basis, the above IRS will allow the Group to economise €51.4 million in cash interest exp ense from 2020 to 2024.

Given that the swaps above were entered with the same counterparties at the same time, the Group has considered that the two legs constitute a single swap and hence has valued the swaps as such, especially for the calculations of the credit risks.

Altice France S.A. - Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - June 30, 2020

With the exception of derivatives, loans and other short-term and long-term financial debts, and other current and non-current financial liabilities are measured at their amortized cost, which corresponds to the estimated value of the financial liability when initially recognised, minus repayments of principal, and plus or minus cumulative amortization, measured using the effective interest rate method.

Derivatives are measured at fair value through the income statement, or through other items of comprehensive income, for the effective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2020, no derivative was qualified for hedge accounting.

Transfer of sports rights to Altice France

On July 7, 2020, SportCoTV S.A.S, a fully owned, unrestricted subsidiary of the Group, acquired the shares of Altice Pictures S.à.R.L, a Luxembourg based entity, which houses the sports and other content rights mainly for the UEFA champions league and other premium content. Prior to the sale, a reorganization of the structure in Luxembourg was carried out, with the transfer of activities performed by Altice Entertainment News and Sport (AENS), (the entity that provided the premium sports channels to Altice France) to Altice Pictures, thus ensuring that the entire value chain would subsequently be transferred to Altice France, the entity that benefits the most from the marketing of the associated channels. Altice Pictures S.à.R.L will subsequently be merged int o SportCoTV S.A.S.

Media restructuring

On July 24, 2020, the Management of the Group's media business presented the Livre 2, the document that outlines the restructuring plan announced in May to workers' council. As per the document, the Group intends to introduce a voluntary departure plan aimed at reducing the workforce by around 228 full time employees. The plan is

18

Altice France S.A. - Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - June 30, 2020

expected to start at the end of 2020 or in early 2021. The Management has also committed not to undertake a compulsory employee redundancy plan before November 2021 in the event that the targeted reduncicies are not met. Following the end of negotiations with the workers' council, the Livre 2 will be sent for homologation to the French Labor Authorities (DIRECCTE).

Reorganization of Altice France's shareholding structure

On July 10, 2020, Altice France's shareholding structure was simplified by way of a share transfer between Altice Europe N.V. and Altice France Holding S.A., the direct shareholder of Altice France. Following the restructuring, Altice France Holding S.A. holds 100% minus one share of Altice France, with Altice Luxembourg S.A. Holding the one share.

As part of the reorganization, the upstream loan to Altice Group Lux S.à.R.L. was also reassigned to A ltice France Holding S.A. Thus, the Group has no outstanding transactions with Altice Group Lux S.à.R.L.
