Normalized free cash flow is defined as the sum of net cash from operating activities - based on a working capital requirement representing 10% of the last 12 months’ sales and whose change at constant scope of consolidation and exchange rates is adjusted for the period considered - and net proceeds of sales from fixed and financial assets, less capital expenditure and capitalized development costs.

Free cash flow is defined as the sum of net cash from operating activities and net proceeds from sales of fixed and financial assets, less capital expenditure and capitalized development costs.

Net financial debt is defined as the sum of short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings, less cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

The reconciliation of consolidated key figures with the financial statements is available in the appendices to the first nine months 2020 results press release.

Note 1 - INTRODUCTION

This unaudited consolidated financial information is presented for the nine months ended

September 30, 2020. It should be read in conjunction with consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 such as established in the Registration Document deposited under visa no D.20-0320 with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) on April 20, 2020.

All the amounts are presented in millions of euros unless otherwise indicated. Some totals may include rounding differences.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable or authorized for early adoption from January 1, 2020.

None of the IFRS standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that have not been adopted for use in the European Union are applicable to the Group.

Note 2 - Significant transactions and events for the period

Legrand is fully mobilized to address the deteriorating world health and economic situation caused by the spread of Covid-19 in many countries:

• the Group’s priority is to protect the health and safety of its employees, in particular by rigorously applying the recommendations of local authorities and the World Health Organization;
• the Group is focused on providing the best possible service to customers, whose business is essential to the functioning of the economy;
• backed by a proven model, the Group is working actively to protect its profitability and its cash generation.

In this very uncertain context, Legrand has announced that it is suspending the 2020 targets it published last February.

As at the publication date of the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020, taking into account a persistently difficult and very uncertain environment – due in particular to new health measures in a number of markets – and given the demanding basis for comparison recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019, Legrand anticipates an organic decrease in sales in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Group is confident in its ability to keep developing its market share and will continue to actively protect its adjusted operating margin.

As during the first half of 2020, there are no significant accounting impacts to be noted in the third quarter of 2020.

Note 8 - segment information

In accordance with IFRS 8, operating segments are determined based on the reporting made available to the chief operating decision maker of the Group and to the Group's management.

Given that Legrand activities are carried out locally, the Group is organized for management purposes by countries or groups of countries which have been allocated for internal reporting purposes into three operating segments:

• Europe, including France, Italy and Rest of Europe (mainly including Benelux, Germany, Iberia (including Portugal and Spain), Poland, Russia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom);
• North and Central America, including Canada, Mexico, the United States, and Central American countries; and
• Rest of the world, mainly including Australia, China, India and South America (of which particularly Brazil, Chile and Colombia).

These three operating segments are under the responsibility of three segment managers who are directly accountable to the chief operating decision maker of the Group.

The economic models of subsidiaries within these segments are quite similar. Indeed, their sales are made up of electrical and digital building infrastructure products in particular to electrical installers, sold mainly through third-party distributors.
