Executive commentary
CEO Olivier Andriès commented:
" The total mobilisation of all teams has enabled Safran to tackle this crisis and to deliver decent margins and cash flow generation. Although uncertainties and headwinds remain notably for the first half of 2021, I am determined and optimistic. My conviction is based on the quality of our assets built up over the years: LEAP, the engine of choice of airlines, a young fleet of CFM56 engines in operation that will be at forefront of the coming recovery of civil aftermarket; a portfolio of leading positions in Equipment & Defense; the restored confidence of customers in our Aircraft Interiors products and an optimized footprint. Safran's fundamentals are robust and new investments in innovative technologies to meet climate change commitments are safeguarded."
Safran resilience
In 2020, in addition to the Boeing 737 MAX grounding, the aerospace industry faced the greatest crisis in its history with a collapse in air traffic due to lockdowns and travel restrictions all around the word. Available Seat Kilometer (ASK)1 was down by (86)% at the trough in May, still down (56.7)% in December. For the full-year 2020, ASK was down (56.5)%.
At the end of December 2020, weekly CFM56 and LEAP fleet cycles were respectively down (43)% and (6)% compared with 2019, both deteriorating to (61)% and (29)% as of February 14, 2021.
Prioritizing a safe working environment for employees and partners and thanks to collective efforts, Safran has avoided any major disruption in production.
In order to adjust to this new environment, Safran quickly implemented an adaptation plan. At the end of the year, the Group achieved all targets set in April:
- Workforce has been adjusted to around 79,000 at the end of 2020, a (17)% decrease in permanent employees, and a (21)% decrease including temporary workers;
- Industrial footprint was rationalised within Aircraft Interiors, Electrical & Power and Nacelles activities with 4 site closures, 3 transfers of production and about 10 restructuring plans;
- Purchasing programs have been scaled back: a decrease of (43)% in raw materials and supplies expenses and of (48)% in sub-contracting expenses. As a result, inventories and work in progress were reduced by Euro (1.2) billion between June and December;
- Capex commitments were reduced by (67)% in 2020, exceeding the (60)% reduction objective;
- R&D expenses were cut by (35)% in 2020, exceeding the (30)% reduction objective;
- Operating expenses2 were reduced by (25)%, exceeding the (20)% target at year-end
Thanks to the work done by all Safran's employees and in all divisions, the Group maintained profitability around 10% and cash generation above Euro 1 billion in 2020 as guided.

Safran's climate strategy
In 2020, Safran took an important step in designing its climate action plan:
-
Safran disclosed emissions3 from its operations:
- Scope 1 (direct energy-related emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect energy-related emissions) with targets to reduce CO2 emissions by 2025;
- Some items of Scope 3 indirect emissions (business air travel and waste treatment).
-
Safran also presented a strategy to reduce the CO2 emissions from its products, which are the main part of Scope 3 and which constitute its essential contribution to meet the aviation sector goal of halving the emissions by 2050 compared to 2005 (a 90 % reduction in average emissions per passenger kilometer across the worldwide fleet).
This ambitious goal is reachable based on several solutions in which Safran plays its part, in particular by:- working on ultra-optimized thermal propulsion for the next aircraft platforms ("skip a generation"),
- promoting a wide use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), notably drop-in sustainable fuels4 for current generation aircraft and future long-haul. Safran leads by example by incorporating SAF in its civil engines tests: 10% by year-end and at least 35 % by 2025
- exploring the potential of hydrogen for future SMR.
-
Safran's CDP5 score in 2020 has improved to A-, from the 2019 score of C, highlighting rapid progress.
In 2021, Safran will report in its URD6 additional progress by:
- updating its climate action plan consistent with TCFD7 recommendations,
- revising its Scope 1 & 2 targets to reduce CO2 emissions ((30)% in 2025 compared with 2018 levels) to maintain ambition beyond the impact of Covid-19 crisis,
- completing its Scope 3 emissions disclosure with the evaluation of indirect emissions (purchases & logistics and employee commuting),
- disclosing Scope 3 direct emissions from the use of its products, ie emissions from civil aircraft engines and helicopter engines.
In 2022, Safran will disclose all Scope 3 emissions including use of products across whole Group perimeter with reduction targets.

Key business highlights
1 - Aerospace Propulsion
Narrowbody engine deliveries
At the end of December 2020, combined shipments of CFM56 and LEAP engines reached 972 units, compared with 2,127 in 2019.
CFM International delivered 815 units LEAP engines in 2020 compared with 1,736 units in the year ago period. LEAP backlog8 stood at more than 9,600 engines at end-2020.
CFM56 engines deliveries were at 157 units in 2020 compared with 391 engines in 2019.
Civil aftermarket9
2020 civil aftermarket revenue was down (43.2)% in USD terms including a decrease of (3.3)% in Q1, (66.0)% in Q2, (56.2)% in Q3 and (47.0)% in Q4. This resulted from lower spare parts sales for the latest generation of CFM56 engines and to a lesser extent from service contracts.
The improvement of the civil aftermarket in Q4 2020 confirmed the lesser decrease in CFM56 and high-thrust engine spare parts sales.
Helicopter turbines
Safran signed a Support-By-Hour contract with the Chinese State Grid General Aviation Company (SGGAC), covering their helicopters H215 and H225 fleets.

The Group delivered its 4th V-VIP 787-8 and was awarded several Military refurbishment contracts.
Full-year 2020 results
2020 revenue amounted to Euro 16,498 million, a decrease of (33.0)%, or Euro 8,142 million, compared to the year ago period. Changes in scope had a net contribution of Euro (37) million. The net impact of currency variations was Euro (95) million, reflecting a negative translation effect on non-Euro revenues, notably USD. The average spot rate was USD 1.14 to the Euro in 2020, compared to 1.12 in the year-ago period. The Group's hedge rate was at USD 1.16 to the Euro in 2020, compared to 1.18 in 2019. Revenue in H1 amounted to Euro 8,767 million, down (27.6)% and to Euro 7,731 million in H2, down (38.3)%. Q4 sales decreased by (32.5)% at Euro 4,349 million ((30.1)% in organic) compared to Q4 2019.
On an organic basis, revenue decreased by (32.5)% coming from all divisions:
- Decrease in Propulsion by (36.2)% from OE volumes (civil and military aircraft) as well as services (civil aftermarket). Services for helicopter turbines and military activities were less impacted by the current crisis (flat compared to 2019). Propulsion sales dropped by (32.9)% in Q4 due to civil aftermarket and LEAP deliveries;
- Aircraft Equipment, Defense and Aerosystems sales decreased by (25.0)% due to OE sales for wiring and power distribution, nacelles and landing systems. High-single digit decrease of OE Electronics & Defense activities. Within services, nacelles, landing gear and carbon brakes support activities and to a lesser extent Aerosystems suffered the most. The Q4 revenue decrease ((22.9)%) was driven by landing systems as well as nacelles, wiring and power. Division performance improved each quarter since the trough attained in May (Q2 at (39.3)% and Q3 at (33.6)%);
- Aircraft Interiors revenue ((40.4)%) was strongly impacted by both OE and services for all activities. Q4 sales decreased by (40.0)% in line with the full year activity. Cabin's Q4 performance slightly improved while Seats and Passenger Solutions activities had a similar organic decrease to Q2.
2020 recurring operating income10 reached Euro 1,686 million, down (55.9)% compared to 2019. It includes scope changes of Euro (5) million as well as a positive currency impact of Euro 110 million. The margin stood at 10.2% of sales compared with 15.5% in the year ago period.
It should be noted that to compare H1 2020 with H2 2020, the published recurring operating income of H1 should be adjusted upwards by Euro 103 million. This is the consequence of the retroactive impact on H1 provisions of the Activity Transformation Agreement (ATA) signed in H2 but applicable for the full year.
Hence, H1 2020 recurring operating income increases from Euro 947 million (published) to Euro 1,050 million and the margin increases from 10.8% to 12.0%. H2 stood at Euro 636 million with an 8.2% underlying margin.
One-off items, which amounted to Euro (466) million, are related to restructuring costs (Euro (131) million), impairment for several programs (Euro (286) million) and a non-recurring charge for early retirements.
On an organic basis, recurring operating income decreased by (58.6)% due to lower volumes, despite savings from the adaptation plan:
- Propulsion recurring operating income decreased by (54.1)% resulting from the civil aftermarket, spare engines and to a lesser extent military OE activities despite a positive contribution from helicopter turbines;
- Aircraft Equipment, Defense and Aerosystems recurring operating income decreased by (46.8)% due to carbon brakes, nacelles and Aerosystems support activities and to lower OE volumes across all businesses;
- The significant decrease of Aircraft Interiors recurring operating income resulted from both OE (including retrofit) and services activities for all businesses. The operating margin stood at (9.1)%.
2020 Adjusted net income - Group share was Euro 844 million (basic EPS of Euro 1.98 and diluted EPS of Euro 1.92) compared with Euro 2,665 million in 2019 (Basic EPS of Euro 6.20 and diluted EPS of Euro 6.13). It includes:
- Net adjusted financial loss of Euro (7) million, including foreign exchange gains of Euro 93 million and cost of debt of Euro (58) million;
- An adjusted tax expense of Euro (334) million (27.5% apparent tax rate);
The reconciliation between 2020 consolidated income statement and adjusted income statement is provided and commented in the Notes on page 13.
10 Operating income before capital gains or losses on disposals / impact of changes of control, impairment charges, transaction and integration costs and other items
Cash flow and net debt
Operations generated Euro 1,073 million of free cash flow11 of which Euro 901 million in H1 and Euro 172 million in H2. Free cash flow generation was driven by cash from operations of Euro 1,874 million and mostly generated in H1, a stable working capital and lower capital expenditure (tangibles and intangibles) at Euro 793 million down 35% vs 20192. The working capital evolution during the year (Euro (8) million) has been driven by the decrease of inventories in H2, the lower amount of advance payments (mainly M88 and LEAP-1B) and the impact of lower activity on payables and on receivables.
2020 annual dividend
A dividend payment of Euro 0.43 per share will be proposed to the shareholders' vote at the Annual General Meeting on May 26, 2021, representing a 22% pay-out ratio.
Net Debt
The net debt was Euro 2,792 million as of December 31, 2020 compared to a net debt of Euro 4,114 million as of December 31, 2019. This decrease resulted from free cash flow generation as well as the absence of the dividend payment in 2020 for the 2019 financial year.
11 This non-accounting indicator (non-audited) is equal to cash flow from operating activities less change in working capital and acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
12 Excluding capital gain in H1 2019
Research & Development
Total R&D, including R&D sold to customers, reached Euro (1,213) million, compared with Euro (1,725) million in 2019.
R&D expenses before research tax credit was Euro (864) million, compared with Euro (1,337) million for 2019. The decrease of R&D spending between 2020 and 2019 came from several programs (notably Silvercrest, e-taxi and helicopters programs) as well as Research & Technology (R&T).
Gross capitalised R&D was Euro 279 million compared with Euro 325 million for 2019.
Amortization and depreciation of R&D was Euro (320) million compared with Euro (270) million for 2019.
The impact on recurring operating income of expensed R&D was Euro (756) million compared with Euro (1,116) million in the year ago period.
Financing
Safran reinforced its liquidity position by securing in March 2020 a Euro 3.0 billion bridge facility with a maturity of up to two years, at Safran's option. The facility was syndicated in April 2020 and its initial amount was then reduced within less than 6 months by more than 50% after Safran refinanced that portion with medium to long term financing instruments. At the end of year 2020, the facility amounted to Euro 1.4 billion and remained undrawn.
On May 15, 2020, Safran issued 7-year convertible bonds (OCEANEs) for a nominal amount of Euro 800 million and bearing a 0.875% coupon. This transaction was followed on October 12 by a tap issue of this convertible bonds' series for a nominal amount of Euro 200 million and showing a negative yield to maturity of (0.419)%.
On June 29, 2020, Safran also raised Euro 564 million on the USPP market with maturities of 10 and 12 years. This USPP was funded in Euros and in US dollars, the US dollar tranches having been swapped into Euros, and bear an average 2.02% coupon for the 10 year tranches and a 2.12% coupon for the 12 year tranches.
Safran also has a Euro 2.52 billion undrawn credit facility available until December 2022. This facility primarily serves as a back-up for the commercial paper (NEU CP) program, under which Euro 1.3 billion was outstanding as at December 31, 2020. The maximum amount available under the NEU CP program is Euro 3.0 billion.
LT issuer credit rating
Leveraging on its liquidity position and business resilience, Safran has engaged in a financial rating process in order to benefit from an enhanced access to debt capital markets when needed, including broader investor base and tighter spreads.
Safran has received its first issuer credit rating by Standard & Poor's which assigned a long-term investment grade rating of BBB+ with a stable outlook.
This rating reflects the strength of Safran's balance sheet as well as the ability of the group to adapt quickly to an unprecedented crisis. In a challenging environment, sound financial policy together with leading positions on its markets allow Safran to receive an investment grade rating with a stable outlook.
Currency hedges
The sharp rise in EUR/USD in 2020 and in the beginning of 2021 has triggered knock-out barriers. All lost options have been replaced at prevalent market conditions. The hedge book totalled USD 28.2 billion at February 5, 2021. Faced with the risk of further rates move, targets have been revised.
2021 is hedged at a targeted hedge rate of USD 1.16 through knock-out options, for an estimated net exposure of USD 8.5 billion.
2022 is hedged at a targeted hedge rate between USD 1.14 and USD 1.16 through knock-out options, for an estimated net exposure of USD 9.0 billion.
2023 is hedged at a targeted hedge rate between USD 1.14 and USD 1.16 through knock-out options, for an estimated net exposure of USD 10.0 billion.
The hedge book includes barrier options with knock-out triggers ranging from $1.2350 to $1.31, representing a risk to the size of the hedge book and to targeted hedge rates from 2021 onwards in case of sudden and significant exchange rate fluctuations.
Full-Year 2021 outlook
The recent slowing of air traffic recovery in several regions of the world generates uncertainty, notably with a risk of delayed recovery of civil aftermarket.
In this context, Safran expects for FY 2021 (compared with FY 2020 figures):
- Back-end loaded activity and profitability
- Adjusted revenue to decrease in the low single digits in organic terms. At an estimated spot rate of USD 1.22 to the Euro, adjusted revenue to decrease in the high single digits;
- Adjusted recurring operating margin to increase above 100 bps, at least a 300 bps improvement versus H2 2020 (based on a hedge rate of USD 1.16 to the Euro and an adjusted revenue based on a spot rate at USD 1.22 to the Euro), thanks to structural savings already achieved and additional measures to be implemented;
- Free cash flow generation to stay at least at the same level as in 2020 despite strong uncertainties regarding working capital evolution.
The outlook is based notably on the following assumptions:
- OE Revenue:
- Services Revenue:
- Civil aftermarket estimated growth in the high single digits (in USD terms)
- Other services revenue to decrease in the low single digits (in organic terms)
- Recurring Operating Income :
- Increasing recurring operating margin in Propulsion
- Stable recurring operating margin in Aircraft Equipment, Defense and Aerosystems
- Recurring operating margin negative but improving throughout the year in Aircraft Interiors
- Continuing and extending manufacturing footprint optimisation
- Slight increase in R&D expenses but impact almost neutral on recurring operating income: increase in R&T expenses consistent with a larger share of public funding and development expenses decrease with no new program planned
- Stability in Capex outflows: thanks to 2020 decrease in Capex commitments and despite an increase in 2021 commitments (strategic priorities, 2020 differed investments)
Business commentary for 2020
Aerospace Propulsion
In 2020 revenue was Euro 7,663 million, down (36.4)% compared to Euro 12,045 million in 2019. On an organic basis, revenue decreased by (36.2)%.
- OE revenue dropped by (42.4)% (or (42.2)% organically) compared with 2019, due to lower narrowbody engines (LEAP and CFM56). Both installed and spare engines deliveries decreased compared to 2019. Volumes for high thrust engines were also impacted in 2020 (notably GE90) with 369 units delivered compared with 489 in 2019. As planned, M88 engines deliveries were lower and amounted to 33 units in 2020 compared with 62 in 2019. Helicopter turbines OE sales faced a slight headwind during the year and recorded sales for new engines (Arrano, Aneto).
-
Services revenue decreased by (31.8)% (in Euro, or (31.6)% organically) and represented 60.9% of sales. Civil aftermarket revenue (in USD) was strongly impacted by the Covid-19 crisis since March and decreased by (43.2)% (in USD). This drop was mainly due to lower spare parts sales for the latest generation of CFM56 engines as well as a lower contribution of services contracts for CFM56 and widebody platforms. There was a slight tailwind for military services compared to the year ago period thanks to spare parts sales (notably M88). Helicopter turbines support activities were slightly impacted during the year (mainly Time & Material contracts and despite per hour contracts increase).
Recurring operating income was Euro 1,192 million, a decrease of (52.0)% compared with Euro 2,485 million in 2019. Recurring operating margin dropped from 20.6% to 15.6%.
The profitability was strongly impacted by the drop in civil aftermarket (lower spare parts sales for the latest generation of CFM56 engines), spare engines and to a lesser extent by boosters, transmission and military activities.
Helicopter turbines had a positive impact both from OE and services and thanks to one-off effects. Lower R&D expenses and impacts coming from the adaptation plan's measures had also a positive impact for the division.
Aircraft Equipment, Defense and Aerosystems
In 2020 revenue was Euro 6,893 million, down (25.5)% compared with Euro 9,256 million in the year ago period. On an organic basis, revenue was down (25.0)%.
- OE revenue decreased by (23.6)% (or (23.0)% organically) in 2020 driven by wiring (737 MAX, 787, A320, A350, A330) and power distribution activities (A350, 787), as well as lower volumes of landing gears (Boeing 787, A330, A350 and A320 family) and nacelles (A320neo, A320ceo, A330neo, A330ceo, A380). Deliveries of nacelles for LEAP-1A powered A320neo were at 474 units in 2020 (602 units in 2019). Avionics, FADEC for LEAP and Aerosystems (evacuation, oxygen and fuel control systems) activities were also impacted. Within Defense activities, sighting and navigation systems slightly grew compared to the previous year.
- The decline in services of (29.6)% (or (29.1)% organically) in 2020 was mainly driven by carbon brakes and landing gear activities as well as Aerosystems and nacelles support activities (mainly for A320neo) and to a lesser extent by avionics activities.
Recurring operating income was Euro 687 million, a decrease of (43.2)% compared to Euro 1,209 million in 2019. Recurring operating margin fell from 13.1% to 10.0%.
The drop in profitability was driven by lower OE volumes coming from landing gears, wiring and power as well as nacelles, avionics and Aerosystems. Lower activity also impacted carbon brakes, nacelles and Aerosystems services. This decrease was partially offset by lower R&D impact on P&L and adaptation plan's measures.
Aircraft Interiors
In 2020 revenue was Euro 1,922 million, down (42.1)% compared to Euro 3,321 million in 2019. On an organic basis, revenue decreased by (40.4)%.
- OE revenue dropped by (40.5)% (or (38.5)% organically) in 2020. Sales were strongly impacted by lower volumes on business seats programs and economy seats. Cabin was also impacted in galleys (capacity reduction on Boeing 737 MAX, A320 and A330 programs), inserts, lavatories activities (mainly A220 and A350) and floor to floor activities. To a lesser extent Passenger Solutions faced a headwind coming from Connected Cabin activities (retrofit cancellations and deferrals).
- Services revenue decreased by (46.6)% (or (45.8)% organically) in 2020, mainly due to Seats aftermarket as well as Cabin spare sales (galleys, trolleys, inserts) and to a lesser extent by Passenger Solutions support activities.
Recurring operating income was Euro (174) million, a decrease of Euro (362) million compared to Euro 188 million in 2019. Recurring operating margin strongly decreased from 5.7% to (9.1)%.
The profitability strongly decreased in Seats both for OE and services due to lower volumes. Cabin (OE and services) as well as Passenger Solutions were also impacted by the drop in activity. Impacts coming from the adaptation plan's measures and lower R&D expenses put in place in 2020 had a positive impact.
Holding and others
The reporting segment "Holding and others" includes costs of general management as well as transverse services provided for the Group and its subsidiaries including central finance, tax and foreign currency management, Group legal, communication and human resources.
In addition, the holding invoices subsidiaries for shared services including administrative service centres (payroll, recruitment, IT, transaction accounting), a centralised training organisation and Safran's R&T center.
Holding and others impact on Safran recurring operating income was Euro (19) million in 2020 compared with Euro (62) million in the year ago period due to lower provisions.
