Business function in parent company and outside parent company

Paris, February 18, 2016 – The Board of Directors of Cap Gemini S.A. chaired by Paul Hermelin, convened in Paris on February 17, 2016 to review and authorize the issue of the accounts1 of Capgemini Group for the year ended December 31, 2015.

For Paul Hermelin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Capgemini Group: “2015 marked a new phase in Capgemini’s history with the acquisition of IGATE completed on July 1st . Following the first phase of the integration process, we can confirm the synergies announced at the time of the transaction. Our combined offerings and expertise have already strengthened our positions in several strategic markets.

Following the integration of IGATE and the strong organic growth* (+7.8%), North America, the most important market in terms of size and innovation, is now, by far, the Group’s largest region, representing 31% of revenues in the second half of the year.

Furthermore, our global network of delivery centers, a key driver of our competitiveness, now counts nearly 100,000 employees, positioning us among industry leaders.

Our 2015 performance exceeds our guidance that was increased in July following our first half results. Taking into account the integration of IGATE, revenues grew +12.7% and operating margin increased 140 basis points to 10.6%.

Finally, the Group establishes itself as a reference partner for Digital Transformation. Our Digital and Cloud offerings grew 23% in 2015 and account for 22% of revenues. These domains will remain in our top priorities for investments in 2016.”

The Group generated revenues of €11,915 million in 2015, up 12.7% compared with 2014. Excluding the impact of fluctuations in Group currencies against the euro and changes in Group perimeter, primarily the integration of IGATE purchased during the year, revenues grew 1.0%. Revenue growth reached 13.7% in the 4th quarter and 0.1% at constant perimeter and exchange rates.

New orders recorded during the year totaled €11,538 million, compared with €10,978 million in 2014.

The operating margin is €1,262 million, or 10.6% of revenues, up 140 basis points year-on-year exceeding the 10.3% objective as increased by the Group following the publication of the 1 st half results.

Other operating income and expenses total €240 million, the increase compared to 2014 is primarily due to the acquisition of IGATE. Restructuring costs remain under tight control at €81 million.

2015 operating profit is €1,022 million, bringing the operating margin to 8.6% compared with 8.1% in 2014.

The net financial expense is €118 million, up €48 million on 2014, after expenses of €51 million relating to the implementation of the IGATE acquisition financing (initially consisting of a bridge loan followed by bonds issue). The 2015 Group income tax is a €203 million income, following a one-off non-cash profit of €476 million due to the reassessment of deferred tax assets on US tax loss carry-forwards.

On this basis, net profit (Group share) is €1,124 million for 2015, compared with €580 million in 2014 and 2015 basic EPS (earnings per share) is €6.67. Normalized EPS increased 15% year-on-year to €4.84.

The Group generated an organic free cash flow* of €815 million², up €147 million on 2014.

The Board of Directors has decided to recommend the payment of a dividend of €1.35 per share3 in 2016 at the next Shareholders’ Meeting on May 18th 2016, up 15 cents year-on-year.

In addition, the Board of Directors has confirmed its commitment to actively manage the dilution, as such it approved4 a multi-year share buyback program of €600 million to offset the dilution from employee share ownership program and incentive instruments. A decision has been taken to allocate €150 million to the share buyback program in 2016.

OUTLOOK

For 2016, the Group forecasts revenue growth at constant exchange rates of 7.5% to 9.5%, an operating margin of 11.1% to 11.3% and organic free cash flow generation in excess of €850 million. The Group estimates the negative impact of currency fluctuations on revenues at -2%, primarily due to the appreciation of the euro against the pound sterling and the Brazilian real.

2 After payment of €76 million to increase the Group’s majority stake in its Brazilian subsidiary, CPM Braxis.

3 This dividend will be paid from June 1 st, 2016. In compliance with Euronext regulations, the ex-dividend date will be May 30, 2016.

4 Subject to renewal of the buyback authorization at the Shareholders’ Meeting.

OPERATIONS BY BUSINESS

Consulting services (4% of Group revenues) benefited from the repositioning around Digital Transformation, reporting year-on-year growth of 5.8% on a like-for-like* basis (i.e. at constant Group perimeter and exchange rates). Growth was driven by North America, UK and Rest of Europe with good momentum in Q4. 2015 operating margin rate is 9.1% compared with 8.2% in 2014.

Local professional services (15% of Group revenues) reported annual revenue growth of 0.3% on a likefor-like basis. Growth in the UK and Benelux compensated the drop in activity in the aerospace sector. The operating margin improved 170 basis points to 11.6%.

Application services (59% of Group revenues) growth was 6.3% on a like-for-like basis in 2015. Growth was driven, among other things, by investment in innovation around Digital & Cloud. All geographic regions enjoyed growth, particularly North America, Rest of Europe and the private sector in the UK. The operating margin rate is 11.9%, up 130 basis points on 2014.

Other managed services (22% of Group revenues) reported a 10.9% decline in 2015 revenues on a likefor-like basis due to the planned decrease in revenues from a major Group contract in the public sector in the UK which impacted infrastructure services. The operating margin rate at 9.6% is up 80 basis points on 2014.

OPERATIONS BY MAJOR REGION

North America, with 28% of Group revenues, is now Capgemini’s first region thanks to strong organic growth and the acquisition of IGATE on July 1, 2015. Reported results confirm the Group’s strengthened position in the number one IT services market. Revenues grew 7.8% on a like-for-like basis and 49.1% at current Group perimeter and exchange rates thanks to the appreciation of the US dollar against the euro and the acquisition of IGATE. All sectors contributed to these results particularly the retail and consumer goods which grew over 20% on a like-for-like basis. Application services and Consulting services reported the strongest growth. Operating margin increased 76% to represent 14.9% of revenues, an improvement of 230 basis points year-on-year.

United Kingdom and Ireland (18% of Group revenues) reported a 13.9% decline in revenues on a like-forlike basis (2.2% after accounting for the appreciation of the pound sterling against the euro). This decrease is entirely due to the planned reduction in revenues under the aforementioned contract. Driven by the financial services and retail and consumer goods industries, the private sector was extremely dynamic, helping to rebalance the relative weightings of the public and private sectors in this region. The operating margin rate improved 210 basis points to 13.4%.

France (20% of Group revenues) reported an increase in revenues year-on-year of 1.2% on a like-for-like basis and 4.4% at current Group perimeter. Robust growth in the financial services and retail and consumer goods industries and the public sector more than offset the decline

recorded in the manufacturing segment. The operating margin fell by 30 basis points year-on-year to 8.1% of revenues.

Benelux (9% of group revenues) was stable (+0.1% year-on-year) after several years of decline. This return to stability is supported by the end of the multi-year contraction in financial services. The strong growth in manufacturing fully offset the continuing shrinkage in the public sector. The operating margin is €121 million in 2015, representing an increase of 70 basis points in the operating margin rate to 11.2%.

The Rest of Europe region reported the strongest growth in Europe with 7.4% on a like-for-like basis (and 7.5% at current Group perimeter and exchange rates). This performance was fueled by most of the sectors, with the financial services, retail and consumer goods and energy industries enjoying double digit growth. The offshore leverage is progressing rapidly, particularly in Central and Northern European countries. The operating margin increased 20% year-on-year to 9.6% of revenues, up 100 basis points on 2014.

The Asia-Pacific and Latin American region reported growth of 6.5% on a like-for-like basis (and 5.6% on a published basis). Growth remains strong in Asia-Pacific (in excess of 10% like-for-like) – driven by financial services. On the other side Latin America reported a drop in revenues on a like-for-like basis, despite a positive momentum at the beginning of the year, reflecting the economic downturn in this region. The operating margin rate is 4.2%, down 190 basis points.

HEADCOUNT

On December 31, 2015, the total headcount of the Group was 180,639 compared with 143,643 employees at the end of last year, representing a net increase of 26%, driven by the IGATE integration. Our global delivery network counts 97,301 employees (including 86,405 in India), representing 54% of the total Group headcount compared with 47% the previous year.

BALANCE SHEET

The Group had at December 31, 2015, €1,948 million in cash and cash equivalent (net of bank overdraft). After accounting for borrowings of €3,811 million, cash management assets and derivative instruments, Group net debt* is €1,767 million at the end of 2015, compared with a net cash position of €1,218 million one year before. This change to a net debt position is explained by the acquisition of IGATE (US$ 3,961 million paid, excluding the debt contributed by IGATE).

APPENDIX

Organic growth, or like-for-like growth, in revenues is the growth rate calculated at constant Group perimeter and exchange rates. The Group perimeter and exchange rates used are those for the published fiscal year.

Operating margin is one of the Group’s key performance indicators. It is defined as the difference between revenues and operating costs. It is calculated before “other operating income and expense” which include amortization of intangible assets recognized in business combinations, the charge resulting from the deferred recognition of the fair value of shares granted to employees, and non-recurring revenues and expenses, notably impairment of goodwill, badwill, capital gains or losses on disposals of consolidated companies or businesses, restructuring costs incurred under a detailed formal plan approved by the Group’s management, the cost of acquiring and integrating companies acquired by the Group, and the effects of curtailments, settlements and transfers of defined benefit pension plans.

Normalized net profit is equal to profit for the year (Group share) adjusted for the impact of items recognized in “Other operating income and expense”, net of tax calculated using the effective tax rate. Normalized earnings per share is computed like the basic earnings per share, i.e. excluding dilution.

Organic free cash flow is equal to cash flow from operations less acquisitions of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets (net of disposals) and adjusted for cash out relating to net interest cost.

A winning combination

Capgemini is a global consultancy engaged in information technology, management consulting,

outsourcing and professional services. Headquartered in Paris, it employs over 92,000 people

through offices in over 30 countries. The company's clients are active in the automotive, consumer

products, distribution, energy, chemicals, financial services, health care, life sciences,

manufacturing, retail, media and telecoms industries, as well as the public sector.

The company underwent something of a shift in identity in April 2009, creating a new strategic

business unit known as Capgemini Consulting, a move that brought all of its worldwide strategy and

transformation operations consulting operations under one banner, and installed the company as the

largest European consulting outfit at a stroke. The Capgemini Consulting unit employs over 4,000

consultants worldwide and contributes some 8 percent of total revenue. Headquartered in London,

Capgemini Consulting is headed by Pierre Yves-Cros, and has three practice areas, each dedicated

to business transformation: strategy and transformation, operations transformation (which includes

marketing, sales and service, finance and employee transformation, and supply chain management),

and technology transformation (where services include "technovision," accelerated IT restructuring

and consulting for CIOs). According to the company, this new structure allows it to better utilize its

global standing to benefit clients through sharing of best practices and experience across the

company.

Names, more names and acquisitions

Capgemini was founded by Serge Kampf in 1967 as Sogeti, a boutique provider of IT services

targeting only local French markets. It was too successful to maintain a low profile for long,

however, and by 1975, with the acquisitions of the larger companies CAP and Gemini Computer

Systems, the company had a presence in 21 countries. Kampf toyed a bit with the corporate name,

working for a while as Cap Gemini Sogeti, then opting for Cap Gemini. The company merged with

the consulting unit of Ernst & Young in an $11 billion megadeal in 2000 and, apparently abandoning

the earlier lessons of superfluous nomenclature, became Cap Gemini Ernst & Young. This was

short-lived, though, as a 2004 rebranding not only shortened, but compressed the name to

Capgemini.

While the company may have settled on its new slim-line branding, its taste for monster-sized

acquisitions hasn't abated; in 2007, it paid $1.2 billion for Kanbay International, a global IT services

outfit with a significant foothold in India. That market has been the focus of increased attention by

Capgemini in recent years, as the company has sought to establish its footprint, and a significant

outsourcing presence, in the country. The focus is an understandable one, as around 37 per cent of

the company's revenue is generated through outsourcing. Capgemini's technology unit is its largest

component, meanwhile, contributing almost 40 per cent of revenue.

The right stuff

Through its business divisions around the world, Capgemini can legitimately claim to have a

consulting empire on which the sun never sets. That's something it puts to good use through its

Rightshore global delivery model, utilizing its network of international centers to provide specialist

services around the clock for accelerated delivery, applications management service, business

process outsourcing and infrastructure management. The model provides cost benefits for clients as

well, translating into savings the lower cost of doing business in markets such as India, China and

Eastern Europe. The company is investing heavily in the method as well, with plans to increase the

number of employees it has in India to 40,000 by the end of 2010. This will result in Capgemini

having more employees in India than in any other country, making up 40 per cent of its total

workforce.

THE LATEST ON CAPGEMINI

Culling talent

July 2009

In a move to further the company's global expansion and established expertise, Capgemini

announced the recruitment of Ranjan Tayal as vice president and head of its India practices. Tayal

came from among the top brass at troubled Satyam, where he operated as VP and business head

for India and South Asia, and was reportedly responsible for 4 per cent of Satyam's revenue over the

past four years.

Bench-pressing the EU

July 2009

The European Commission extended its contract with Capgemini Consulting (through Cap's

Nederland B.V. practice) to provide eGovernment supply-side benchmarking to the EU. Previously,

the company had operated on a seven-year contract with the commission to conduct benchmark

studies, which surveyed the effects of eGovernment online services to transform the public sectors

of EU member states. The new agreement extends that contract by another four years.

Moving into Romania

June 2009

The firm opened a new outsourcing centre in the Romanian town of Iasi. Part of the company's plan

to expand its outsourcing presence throughout Eastern Europe, the new centre is situated in one of

Romania's largest University towns, giving Capgemini easy access to a deep pool of qualified and

(ideally) skilled labour. Initially, the centre will offer service desk support for Capgemini clients,

although where those clients may be (and hence the languages required) was unclear.

Energy expertise

January 2009

A Capgemini study highlighted the problems facing the long-term implementation of renewable

energy into national energy grids. According to the report, many utilities companies are being put off

by the complex integration of large-scale wind farms and their variable power loads, hampering the

development of green energy projects.

Also in the energy field, a November 2008 Capgemini report provided a startling assessment of the

state of the U.K.'s energy production. The report claimed that, without significant increases in

investment in power generation in the next decade, the country will not be able to meet demand for

power. What's holding it back? The paper blamed dwindling North Sea gas reserves, a move

toward less effective renewable technology and the closure of around one quarter of the country's

energy plant capacity.

Opening the Czech book

November 2008

In a move that reinforced its position in the emerging Eastern European market, Capgemini entered

into an agreement to buy Czech IT services and consulting company Empire. The buyout, which

includes a majority stake in Empire's subsidiary Sophia Solutions, a local business intelligence and

data warehouse expert, significantly increases Capgemini's client base in the Czech Republic.

Among those new clients are some of the leading players amongst the financial services and

telecom industries, as well as several major Czech public-sector institutions.

Heading for the clouds

November 2008

Recognizing a trend that seems likely to become a standard of business life in future years,

Capgemini added a new option to its suite of IT consultancy options in November 2008: cloud

computing. Not that it's going to be doing anything like hosting software, running data processing or

storing clients' data itself, the company's UK wing signed an outsourcing deal for all of that with

Amazon Web Services, a subsidiary of retailer Amazon.com.

Capgemini's role in the cloud sphere will be limited initially to a new cloud computing center of

excellence, which will be staffed with a team of Amazon Web Services-trained professionals.

Located in North America, Europe and India, they will help Capgemini's clients evaluate and

implement the appropriate web service offerings. Those, meanwhile, will initially come in three

major areas of technology: Microsoft Sharepoint in the cloud, Oracle ERP in the cloud and cloud-

based development and testing of applications.

Public-sector success

October 2008

In the UK, Capgemini was chosen to carry out operational service and IT improvements by West

Sussex Council. The aim of the project is ultimately to find cost savings for the council that can be

passed on to residents in the form of reduced council tax bills.

The company won a similar contract from Dorset County Council in August 2008, while in April of

that year London's Croydon Council signed a five-year contract extension with Capgemini to

continue the ongoing transformation of its local government services. The longest running private

finance initiative agreement of its kind in the UK, the five-year extension is worth £83 million and

covers IT and telecommunications support, which Capgemini has provided for the council since

2003.

Going Dutch

July 2008

Capgemini announced a â'¬255 million deal to purchase Getronics PinkRoccade Business

Application Services BV, a division of Getronics PinkRoccade. The company is one of the top IT

services providers in the Dutch public sector, offering solutions that address the entire applications

life cycle, from applications management consulting to project development, integration and

implementation. Its clients include planning agencies, state administrations and social security

bodies, plus insurance and banking corporations outside of the public sector.

Shuffling the exec deck

May 2008

The company unveiled Olivier Picard as its new development director. Picard joined the company

from Alcatel Lucent, where he had served as a member of the executive committee, leading the

Europe and South region as president. His appointment is the latest in a string of senior-level

appointments at Capgemini in recent years. In February 2007, for example, the company named

Lanny Cohen as CEO of the North American project and consulting operations. Cohen's

predecessor, Salil Parekh, became executive chairman of Capgemini India, taking on responsibility

both for overseeing growth in the region and for smoothing the transition following the Kanbay

International acquisition. Another change in 2007 was the appointment of Henk Broeders as head of

Asia Pacific and Continental Europe, which covers Benelux, Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and

Eastern Europe.

Applying some (Uni)leverage

April 2008

Capgemini extended its contract with Unilever to acquire and manage the company's financial

centres in Chile and Brazil. The deal increases the consultancy's outsourcing foothold in South

America, following the opening of its first centre in Buenos Aires in November 2007, and will see 400

professionals from Unilever come into the Capgemini fold.

Where it falls down

Sources are unimpressed with the remuneration packages on offer at Capgemini, with many citing it

as one of the main downsides of the company. To make matters worse, they expect 2009's bonus

packages to be less than healthy due to the faltering economy. Perks aren't raved about either, with

one consultant describing them as "nothing out of the ordinary". Laptops, mobile phone

compensation, company cars at a favorable lease, gym membership, restaurant tickets, health and

life insurance, and broadband at home are some of the benefits respondents mention. New mothers

also get "90 per cent pay on maternity leave for at least six months", and those who near burnout

can opt for "career breaks" or buy more holiday if they want.

Focusing on the positive, the consultancy does offer a "great social life", sources say, and puts on a

lot of events. "I have played in two UK versus France company rugby matches, one in Paris and

one in Biarritz. These provided a great networking opportunity and were fully paid for by the

company," explains a respondent. In Norway, the company provides "cabins in the mountains" for

its staff to use, and every quarter, the firm holds what are known as "Gold Wings awards to

recognize project deliveries and exceptional work", which are described as "very encouraging". And

of course, if you like your fruit, you'll fit in at Capgemini, as the company has it delivered fresh to the

office door every morning. Capgemini also supports a number of charities, including the Prince's

Trust, in the UK and the Naandi Foundation.

Pushing a coaching culture

Respondents also report that Capgemini has a "large training budget per employee", as well as its

own university and academy where official training takes place. The firm "actively encourages as

much training as is possible, without interfering with client commitments". Every staffer has between

eight to 10 days allocated to official training per year, from an "extensive training curriculum". We're

also told that the "corporate training facility in Paris is first class".

Sources feel Capgemini promotes a "great feedback and coaching culture", made possible through

"mentoring and on-the-job training" by means of a "dedicated coach". They describe their

supervisors as "very approachable", "very accessible and hands on" more so than at competitor

companies, insiders argue. "I feel like we are one family, where no conversation is taboo and

everyone has time for you if needed," states a London-based consultant.

No panic, yet

There is a "sense of realism, rather than pessimism, pressure or panic", when it comes to

Capgemini's chances of coming through the recession unscathed. The London office is particularly

confident in its ability to keep revenue up, due to the large amount of public-sector work it carries

out. "We seem well placed, partly due to the amount of government work we have," says a

consultant there. Across the Channel, consultants are also quietly confident, saying the outlook is

"OK, due to the strong relationship with clients and the broad expertise on a large scale of sectors

not deeply impacted by the crisis, such as energy, utilities and life science". Others are not so

optimistic. "Business is still strong, but sales opportunities are decreasing rapidly, employee morale

is moderate, but fear of losing your job is increasing," an insider in Utrecht reports, while a colleague

in Frankfurt states, "We will need to adapt and lay off some people if the situation does not change.

Even new methodologies, tools or topics will not help if industry is not willing to spend money for

consulting." And respondents tell us that the Stockholm office has stopped rehiring when people

leave.

Across the board, consultants agree that one of the main problems the company faces is that it "is

still perceived as an IT company", and less of a management and strategy shop. In the strategy

arena, insiders admit to "witnessing a general decline in capacity over time", and believe that, in this

field, the firm will have "to fight an uphill battle against stronger brands".

Better than the norm

"Where are the women partners?" asks a Paris-based source. We're there is no discrimination when

it comes to hiring women, and "female consultants are regarded in the same way as male

consultants" at the company. That said, it continues to be a "very male" consultancy, more so than

other consulting firms I have worked in", says a staffer, and the "policy doesn't seem to be aimed at

promoting more participation". "There are special events on international women's day, special

forums for women and the like, but nobody, especially the women, really cares about it," a source

claims. Even the Stockholm office, which has a good gender split lower down the ranks, and a

female country manager to boot, only has a 20:80 ratio of women to men at partner level. Most

other offices, we're told, have lower proportions.

The spread of minorities throughout the consultancy depends on the office in which you are based.

In Utrecht, we're told that for "a consulting firm, the diversity in minorities is probably about right, but

for a modern firm, it is quite low". In fact, that office is described at "mostly white". The same goes

for the Paris office, where there is little minority representation, according to insiders. And while

sources claim the company is "very receptive to minorities", it takes a "fair approach to equality and

doesn't positively discriminate just to try and meet targets". The London office, however, is a

different animal and the makeup of the office staff "seems representative of London as a whole".

"We are hugely multicultural, with 19 languages between the 35 of us," says one consultant. But

there are still fewer minorities in the management ranks, we're told.

The same cannot be said for GLBT employees, who have attained positions at the "most senior

level" of the firm, and consultants' sexual preferences are not an issue at Capgemini. One insider

tells of a transgender, former colleague and describes the support they received from top

management as "absolutely first class".
