* At constant scope and exchange rates
In Managed Services, revenue was ? 1,603 million, +1.2% compared to the third
quarter of 2015 at constant scope and exchange rates. Growth was led by the
Public & Health, and Telco, Media & Utilities sectors, more particularly in the
UK thanks to higher volumes and new contracts. Revenue also grew in the
Manufacturing sector, notably with IT landscape transformation contracts through
automation and migration to Orchestrated Hybrid Cloud, most particularly in the
US.
Over the first nine months of the year, the Service Line grew by +0.8% as the
Group continues to successfully drive the transition of its customers to hybrid
cloud infrastructures resulting in increased volumes and market share gains
through new contracts.
In Consulting & Systems Integration revenue in the third quarter was ? 757
million, up +1.0% at constant scope and exchange rates. Growth materialized in
the manufacturing sector in most of the geographies, in particular with
automotive and aeronautical clients, compensating for less projects in Financial
Services. Revenue was up in the Public sector thanks to projects in Germany and
the contribution of "Other Business Units".
Over the first nine months, organic growth continues to improve and reached
+0.7%.
Revenue increase accelerated in Big Data & Cybersecurity, up +19.1% organically
to reach ? 134 million in the third quarter of 2016. The activity was very
strong in both Big Data and Cybersecurity. Growth was led by the Public sector,
in particular with Mission Critical Systems in France and HPC in Benelux. The
Telco, Media & Utilities sector was also fast growing, with HPC deliveries in
France and Cybersecurity sales in Germany. The Service Line had a strong start
in North America, most particularly for Cybersecurity solutions embedded in new
Managed Services contracts.
Year-to-date, revenue grew by +14.7% as a result of the strategy to cross-sell
the offerings on top of the traditional research and defense sectors and with
the international development beyond France and Germany.
From a contributive perspective to Atos, Worldline revenue was ? 283 million,
stable organically as expected. The two first Business Lines grew over +4%.
Merchant Services was driven by volume increase in Commercial acquiring and a
strong growth in the Payment terminals business while Financial Processing
benefited from high Issuing volumes in Benelux and from a strong Acquiring
activity in France and India. The third Business Line, Mobility & e-
Transactional Services, grew double-digit in e-Ticketing and e-Consumer &
Mobility but was, as anticipated, impacted by the termination of both the VOSA
contract in the UK which occurred at end of Q3 2015 and the Radar contract in
France from mid-June 2016.
The Service Line grew by +3.9% over the first nine months of the year. From Q4
2016, Worldline consolidates additional revenue from Equens, Paysquare, and
Komerçni Banka Smartpay.

* At constant scope and exchange rates
During the third quarter of 2016, revenue grew in most of the large Business
Units:
* in North America thanks to increased volumes and new contracts with private
cloud components and the strong start of Big Data & Cybersecurity. The
acquisition of Anthelio was completed at the end of September to drive
future growth in the healthcare sector,
* in Germany, in Consulting & Systems Integration where the recovery plan
materialized in both new orders and revenue growth, and in Managed Services
with additional business driving growth;
* in United Kingdom & Ireland, led by a strong activity in the Public and
Telco & Media sectors and thanks to the low exposure to the financial
sector;
* in France as a result of the continuous momentum of Big Data &
Cybersecurity, and the successful recovery in Managed Services;
During the third quarter of the year, revenue in Worldline was stable thanks to
the continued dynamic of its core payment businesses compensating for the effect
of the two contracts terminated last year. Revenue was almost stable in "Other
Business Units" thanks to a strong growth in Asia Pacific and South America
compensating for less revenue in Central & Eastern Europe. In Benelux & The
Nordics, the new management team appointed in Q2 is actively focused on the
Business Unit recovery and has already won contracts leading to a 121% book-to-
bill in Q3.
Commercial activity
During the third quarter of 2016, the Group continued to benefit from its
commercial momentum and recorded order entry of ? 2,845 million, representing a
book to bill ratio of 102%.
The commercial activity was particularly strong in the UK leading to a 128%
book-to-bill in Q3 with two major signatures, Aegon in Financial Services and
Ministry of Defence in the Public sector.
By Service Line, Managed Services and Big Data & Cybersecurity recorded a high
level of signatures leading to respective book to bill ratio of 112% and 107%.
Book to bill was 95% in Consulting & Systems Integration. In Q3 2016, large
contracts were signed in Managed Services, such as Aegon in the UK and
Rheinmetall in Germany. Major contracts signed in Consulting & Systems
Integration were Ministry of Defence in the UK and La Poste in France, while Big
Data & Cybersecurity signed new deals in High Performance Computing and
Cybersecurity related to large Managed Services contracts. In addition to
contract renewals, Worldline signed contracts with new clients, notably with
Pizza Hut for pan-European e-acquiring services and with a large French health
insurer for a Contact & Consumer Cloud solution.
The full backlog at the end of September 2016 totaled to ? 19.3 billion,
representing 1.7 year of revenue. The full qualified pipeline was ? 6.4 billion,
compared to ? 6.2 billion at the end of 2015 and representing 6.7 months of
revenue.
Human resources
The total headcount of the Group was 96,396 at the end of September 2016
(including Unify Software & Platforms). The increase of +5.6% of the Group
workforce compared to 91,322 at the end of December 2015 was mainly due to the
circa 5,200 staff who joined the Group from Unify. On October 1(st), circa
3,000 staff joined the Group from Anthelio, Equens, Paysquare, and Komerçni
Banka Smartpay, leading to a total Group workforce of circa 99,500 staff.
2016 objectives
The Group confirms all its objectives for 2016 stated in the July 26, 2016
release, i.e.:
Revenue: Organic growth of +1.5% to +2.0%. Growth at constant exchange rates
above +12% (vs. above +11% previously).
Operating margin: Between 9.2% and 9.5% of revenue.
Free cash flow: Above ? 550 million.
The figures above include Unify Managed Services from February 1(st), 2016 and
Equens, Paysquare, Komerçni Banka Smartpay, and Anthelio contributions from
October 1(st), 2016.

Atos decided, as early as the acquisition date, to retain only part of the
activity of Unify. As a result, the Software & Platforms business, along with
the customers and the countries that were planned to be managed through indirect
channels, have been accounted for as discontinued operations and are in the
process of being physically carved-out to facilitate the disposal of this
activity. Therefore, the 2016 and 2015 pro forma consolidated external revenue
and operating margin reflect the retained scope of Unify only.
