[1] In compliance with IFRS 5, GVT (as from the third quarter 2014), SFR (as from the first quarter of 2014) as well as Maroc Telecom group and Activision Blizzard (as from the second quarter of 2013) have been reported in Vivendi’s Consolidated Financial Statements as discontinued operations.  Vivendi deconsolidated SFR, Maroc Telecom group and Activision Blizzard respectively as from November 27, 2014, May 14, 2014 and October 11, 2013, i.e. the date of their effective sale by Vivendi. Therefore neither GVT nor SFR, nor Maroc Telecom group, nor Activision Blizzard were included in revenues, income from operations, EBIT, EBITA, and adjusted net income. Their respective contributions to earnings attributable to Vivendi SA shareowners as well as any capital gains were recorded under the line “Earnings from discontinued operations”.
