9 | Sanofi –2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED HALF-YEAR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2018

INTRODUCTION

Sanofi, together with its subsidiaries (collectively “Sanofi” or “the Company”), is a global healthcare leader engaged in the research, development and marketing of therapeutic solutions focused on patient needs.

Sanofi is listed in Paris (Euronext: SAN) and New York (NYSE: SNY).

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were reviewed by the Sanofi Board of Directors at the Board meeting on July 30, 2018.

A/ BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.1. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)

The half-year consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented in condensed format in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The accompanying notes therefore relate to significant events and transactions of the period, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018 comply with international financial reporting standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). IFRS as endorsed by the European Union as of June 30, 2018 are available via the following web link:

https://www.efrag.org/Endorsement

IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 became applicable on January 1, 2018. Consequently, the accounting policies applied from that date are identical to those described in the published consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, except for the accounting policies presented in the notes relating to (i) net sales and other revenues and (ii) financial instruments, as described in Notes A.1.2. and A.1.3. below, respectively.

The other standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and endorsed by the European Union that became applicable on January 1, 2018 had no impact on the Sanofi consolidated financial statements.

A.1.1. UPDATE TO SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018

IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 became applicable on January 1, 2018, requiring Sanofi to update its accounting policies on revenue and financial instruments.

However, those updates do not materially affect the way in which Sanofi accounts for revenue or financial instruments.

As regards revenue, the concept of “transfer of control”, which is used primarily to determine the date of revenue recognition, does not call for any change in accounting for the majority of transactions with Sanofi’s customers. The concept of “variable consideration” does not materially alter the principles and methods used to measure net sales, which continue to be recognized net of customer incentives and discounts, and of certain sales-based payments paid or payable to the healthcare authorities.

As regards financial instruments, IFRS 9 changes the terminology used to classify somesub-categories ofnon-derivative financial assets without affecting the measurement principles applied to those assets, which continue to be measured at either fair value or amortized cost. The valuation models used by Sanofi are unchanged.

Finally, changes to the principles used in determining impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost mean that an expected loss approach is now applied to such assets. In practice, this has an immaterial effect on the amount of impairment, and mainly affects accounts receivable.

The impacts of the first-time application of IFRS 15 are described in detail in Note A.1.2.

The impacts of the first-time application of IFRS 9 are described in detail in Note A.1.3.

With the exception of the policies presented in those two notes, the significant accounting policies applied effective January 1, 2018 are identical to those presented in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 10

A.1.2. IMPACTS OF THE FIRST-TIME APPLICATION OF IFRS 15

Sanofi is applying IFRS 15 retrospectively (in accordance with IAS 8) with effect from January 1, 2018, without applying any of the practical expedients permitted under IFRS 15. The impacts of the first-time application of IFRS 15 on the consolidated balance sheet with effect from January 1, 2016 are presented below. The main impacts relate to:

• Contracts with distributors: the concept of “transfer of control” as introduced by IFRS 15 has changed the date on which Sanofi recognizes revenue for a limited number of contracts with distributors. Some distributors that were previously treated as customers are now treated as agents:

• sales that were previously recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership were transferred to the distributor are now recognized when control is transferred to the end customer;

• the distributor’s commission, previously included within Net sales as a reduction of gross sales, is now recognized within the line item Selling and general expenses in the income statement.

• Investments accounted for using the equity method: Sanofi accounts for its investment in Regeneron using the equity method. The changes introduced by IFRS 15 alter the date on which Regeneron recognizes the revenue from milestone payments under certain collaboration agreements. Such payments, which were previously recognized in revenue on aone-time basis, are now recognized in revenue on a percentage of completion basis. This adjustment is reflected in the carrying amount of investments accounted for using the equity method as of the transition date.

Because those impacts do not represent cash inflows or outflows, cash generated by or used in operating activities for the comparative periods presented in the statements of cash flows have not been amended. Intermediate line items within the statements of cash flows have been adjusted accordingly.

The impacts on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2016 are set forth below:

The accounting policies on revenue recognition described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been amended as follows:

Update to Note B.13.1. (“Net sales”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Revenue arising from the sale of goods is presented in the income statement withinNet sales. Net sales comprise revenue from sales of pharmaceutical products, consumer healthcare products, active ingredients and vaccines, net of sales returns, of customer incentives and discounts, and of certain sales-based payments paid or payable to the healthcare authorities.

In accordance with IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), such revenue is recognized when Sanofi transfers control over the product to the customer; control of an asset refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, that asset. For the vast majority of contracts, revenue is recognized when the product is physically transferred, in accordance with the delivery and acceptance terms agreed with the customer.

For contracts entered into by Sanofi Pasteur, transfer of control is usually determined by reference to the terms of release (immediate or deferred) and acceptance of batches of vaccine.

In the case of contracts with distributors, Sanofi does not recognize revenue when the product is physically transferred to the distributor if the products are sold on consignment, or if the distributor acts as agent. In such cases, revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the end customer, and the distributor’s commission is presented within the line itemSelling and general expenses in the income statement.

The amount of revenue recognized inNet sales reflects the various types of price reductions or rights of return offered by Sanofi to its customers on certain products. Such price reductions and rights of return qualify as variable consideration under IFRS 15.

In particular, products sold in the United States are covered by various governmental programs (such as Medicare and Medicaid) under which products are sold at a discount. Rebates are granted to healthcare authorities, and under contractual arrangements with certain customers. Some wholesalers are entitled to chargeback incentives based on the selling price to the end customer, under specific contractual arrangements. Cash discounts may also be granted for prompt payment. Returns, discounts, incentives and rebates, as described above, are recognized in the period in which the underlying sales are recognized as a reduction of gross sales.

These amounts are calculated as follows:

• the amount of chargeback incentives is estimated on the basis of the relevant subsidiary’s standard sales terms and conditions, and in certain cases on the basis of specific contractual arrangements with the customer.

• the amount of rebates based on attainment of sales targets is estimated and accrued as each of the underlying sales transactions is recognized;

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 14

• the amount of price reductions under Government and State programs, largely in the United States, is estimated on the basis of the specific terms of the relevant regulations or agreements, and accrued as each of the underlying sales transactions is recognized;

• the amount of sales returns is calculated on the basis of management’s best estimate of the amount of product that will ultimately be returned by customers. In countries where product returns are possible, Sanofi operates a returns policy that allows the customer to return products within a certain period either side of the expiry date (usually 12 months after the expiry date). The amount recognized for returns is estimated on the basis of past experience of sales returns. Sanofi also takes into account factors such as levels of inventory in its various distribution channels, product expiry dates, information about potential discontinuation of products, the entry of competing generics into the market, and the launch ofover-the-counter medicines. Most product return clauses relate solely to date-expired products, which cannot be resold and are destroyed. Sanofi does not recognize a right of return asset in the balance sheet for contracts that allow for the return of time-expired products, since those products have no value.

The estimated amounts described above are recognized in the income statement withinNet salesas a reduction of gross sales, and withinOther current liabilities in the balance sheet. They are subject to regular review and adjustment as appropriate based on the most recent data available to management. Sanofi believes that it has the ability to measure each of the above amounts reliably, using the following factors in developing its estimates:

• the nature and patient profile of the underlying product;

• the applicable regulations or the specific terms and conditions of contracts with governmental authorities, wholesalers and other customers;

• historical data relating to similar contracts, in the case of qualitative and quantitative rebates and chargeback incentives;

• past experience and sales growth trends for the same or similar products;

• actual inventory levels in distribution channels, monitored by Sanofi using internal sales data and externally provided data;

• the shelf life of Sanofi products; and

• market trends including competition, pricing and demand.

Update to Note B.13.2. (“Other revenues”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Other revenues mainly comprise royalties received from licensing intellectual property rights to third parties, and VaxServe sales of products sourced from third-party manufacturers.

Royalties received under licensing arrangements are recognized over the period during which the underlying sales are recognized.

VaxServe is a Vaccines segment entity whose operations include the distribution within the United States of vaccines and other products manufactured by third parties. VaxServe sales of products sourced from third-party manufacturers are presented withinOther revenues.

15 | Sanofi –2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

A.1.3. IMPACTS OF THE FIRST-TIME APPLICATION OF IFRS 9

Sanofi is applying IFRS 9 with effect from January 1, 2018.

IFRS 9 changes the terminology used to classify somesub-categories ofnon-derivative financial assets without affecting the measurement principles applied to those assets, which continue to be measured at either fair value or amortized cost. The valuation models used by Sanofi are unchanged. In accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 9, those reclassifications are made prospectively, and consequently do not require any restatement of published information for prior periods.

IFRS 9 does not alter the accounting treatment of financial liabilities or derivative instruments held by Sanofi.

The table below sets forth the reclassifications, and their impacts:

		IAS 39 categories (December 31, 2017)
		Available-for-sale financial assets								Financial assets recognized under the fair value option		Other comprehensive income
IFRS 9 categories (January 1, 2018) (€ million)		Quoted  instruments		Unquoted  instruments		Contingent consideration receivable		Assets held to meet obligations under post- employment benefit plans		Assets held to meet obligations under deferred compensation plans

			1,560		123		292		207		336		852
Quoted equity investments	1,327		1,327
Unquoted equity investments	62				62
Total – Equity instruments at fair value through OCI –non-reclassifiable	1,389		1,327		62
Debt instruments	199		199
Total – Debt instruments at fair value through OCI – reclassifiable	199		199
Equity instruments	44		34		10
Debt instruments	51				51
Contingent consideration receivable	292						292
Assets held to meet obligations under post-employment benefit plans	198								198
Assets held to meet obligations under deferred compensation plans	345								9		336
Total – Other financial assets at fair value through profit or loss	930		34		61		292		207		336
Additionalpaid-in capital and retained earnings	852												852

Most of Sanofi’s equity investments have been classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

IFRS 9 also changes the way in which impairment losses are estimated; this mainly affects accounts receivable. With effect from January 1, 2018, impairment allowances cover expected losses, rather than (as previously) incurred losses. The impact of this new impairment methodology as of January 1, 2018 is to increase the total impairment allowance by €17 million (before tax effects), and to reduce retained earnings by a net amount of €13 million.

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 16

The accounting policies on financial assets presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been amended. Note B.8. (“Financial instruments”) and Note B.18. (“Fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration”) have been updated as indicated below:

Update to Notes B.8.1.(“Non-derivative financial assets”) and B.8.2. (“Impairment ofnon-derivative financial assets”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

In accordance with IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IAS 32 (Financial Instruments: Presentation), Sanofi has adopted the classification ofnon-derivative financial assets described below. The classification used depends on (i) the characteristics of the contractual cash flows (i.e. whether they represent interest or principal) and (ii) the business model for managing the asset applied at the time of initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive incomemainly comprise:

• quoted and unquoted equity investments that Sanofi does not hold for trading purposes and that management has designated at “fair value through other comprehensive income” on initial recognition. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in equity within the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. When such instruments are derecognized, the previously-recognized changes in fair value remain withinOther comprehensive income, as does the gain or loss on divestment. Dividends received are recognized in profit or loss for the period, within the line itemFinancial income.

• debt instruments whose contractual cash flows represent payments of interest or repayments of principal, and which are managed with a view to collecting cash flows and selling the asset. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in equity within the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. When such assets are derecognized, the cumulative gains and losses previously recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss for the period within the line itemsFinancial income orFinancial expenses.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or losscomprise:

• quoted and unquoted equity investments: equity instruments that are not held for trading and which management did not designate at “fair value through other comprehensive income” on initial recognition, and instruments that do not meet the IFRS definition of “equity instruments”;

• instruments whose contractual cash flows represent payments of interest or repayments of principal, but which are managed other than with a view to collecting cash flows and/or selling the asset;

• instruments that management has designated as ‘fair value through profit or loss” on initial recognition;

• contingent consideration already carried in the books of an acquired entity or granted in connection with a business combination.

Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss within the line itemsFinancial income orFinancial expenses. Dividends received are recognized in profit or loss for the period, within the line itemFinancial income.

Fair value of equity investments in unquoted entities

On initial recognition of an equity investment in an entity not quoted in an active market, the fair value of the investment is the acquisition cost. Cost ceases to be a representative measure of the fair value of an unquoted equity investment when Sanofi identifies significant changes in the investee, or in the environment in which it operates. In such cases, an internal valuation is carried out, based mainly on peer comparisons.

Financial assets at amortized cost comprise instruments whose contractual cash flows represent payments of interest or repayments of principal and which are managed with a view to collecting cash flows. The main assets in this category are loans and receivables. They are presented within the line itemsOthernon-current assets, Other current assets,Accounts receivable andCash and cash equivalents. Loans with a maturity of more than 12 months are presented in “Long-term loans and advances” withinOthernon-current assets. Those financial assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost

Accounts receivable are initially recognized at the amount invoiced to the customer. Impairment losses on trade accounts receivable are estimated using the expected loss method, in order to take account of the risk of payment default throughout the lifetime of the receivables. The expected credit loss is estimated collectively for all accounts receivable at each reporting date using an average expected loss rate, determined primarily on the basis of historical credit loss rates. However, that average expected loss rate may be adjusted if there are indications of a likely significant increase in credit risk. If a receivable is subject to a known credit risk, a specific impairment loss is recognized for that receivable. The amount of expected losses is recognized in the balance sheet as a reduction in the gross amount of accounts receivable. Impairment losses on accounts receivable are recognized withinSelling and general expenses in the income statement.

17 | Sanofi –2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

Update to Note B.8.3. (“Derivative instruments”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are initially and subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the income statement inOther operating income or inFinancial income orFinancial expenses, depending on the nature of the underlying economic item which is hedged.

Derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are measured using the policies described in Note B.8.4. below.

IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) requires counterparty credit risk to be taken into account when measuring the fair value of financial instruments. That risk is estimated on the basis of observable, publicly-available statistical data.

Policy on offsetting

In order for a financial asset and a financial liability to be presented as a net amount in the balance sheet under IAS 32, there must be:

(a) a legally enforceable right to offset; and

(b) the intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

In addition, IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures) requires the notes to the financial statements to include a schedule showing a list of any offsets recognized under IAS 32 and of transactions for which only criterion (a) is met, i.e. potential offsets such as those specified in close out netting agreements (positions offset only in the event of default, as specified in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) standard).

Update to Note B.8.4. (“Hedging”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

As part of its overall market risk management policy, Sanofi enters into various hedging transactions involving derivative ornon-derivative instruments; these may include forward contracts, currency swaps or options, interest rate swaps or options, cross-currency swaps, and debt placings or issues.

Such financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments and recognized using the hedge accounting principles of IFRS 9 when (a) there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, of how the effectiveness of the hedging relationship will be assessed, and of the underlying market risk management objective and strategy; (b) the hedged item and the hedging instrument are eligible for hedge accounting; and (c) there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, defined on the basis of a hedge ratio that is consistent with the underlying market risk management strategy, and the residual credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship.

Fair value hedge

A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment that is attributable to one or more risk components and could affect profit or loss.

Changes in fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk components are generally recognized in the income statement, withinOther operating income for hedges related to operating activities, or withinFinancial income orFinancial expenses for hedges related to investing or financing activities.

Cash flow hedge

A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows from an asset, liability or highly probable forecast transaction that is attributable to one or more risk components and could affect profit or loss.

Changes in fair value of the hedging instrument attributable to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized directly in equity in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Changes in fair value attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedge are recognized in the income statement withinOther operating income for hedges of operating activities, and withinFinancial income orFinancial expenses for hedges of investing or financing activities.

Cumulative changes in fair value of the hedging instrument previously recognized in equity are reclassified to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss. Those reclassified gains and losses are recognized withinOther operating income for hedges related to operating activities, and withinFinancial income orFinancial expenses for hedges related to investing or financing activities.

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 18

When a forecast transaction results in the recognition of anon-financial asset or liability, cumulative changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument previously recognized in equity are incorporated in the initial carrying amount of that asset or liability.

When the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity remains separately recognized in equity and is not reclassified to the income statement (or recognized as an adjustment to the initial cost of the relatednon-financial asset or liability) until the forecast transaction occurs. However, if Sanofi no longer expects the forecast transaction to occur, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation

In a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument attributable to the effective portion of the hedge are recognized directly in equity in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Changes in fair value attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedge are recognized in the income statement withinFinancial income orFinancial expenses. When the investment in the foreign operation is sold, the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument previously recognized in equity are reclassified to the income statement withinFinancial income orFinancial expenses.

Cost of hedging

As part of its market risk management policy, Sanofi may designate currency or interest rate options as hedging instruments of which the effectiveness is measured on the basis of changes in intrinsic value. In such cases, the time value of the option is treated as a hedging cost and accounted for as follows:

• If the option includes a component that is not aligned on the critical features of the hedged item, the corresponding change in the time value is taken to profit or loss.

• Otherwise, the change in the time value is taken to equity within the statement of comprehensive income, and then:

• if the hedged item is linked to a transaction that results in the recognition of a financial asset or liability, the change in the time value is reclassified to profit or loss symmetrically with the hedged item;

• if the hedged item is linked to a transaction that results in the recognition of anon-financial asset or liability, the change in the time value is incorporated in the initial carrying amount of that asset or liability; and

• if the hedged item is linked to a period of time, the change in time value is reclassified to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the life of the hedging relationship.

In the case of forward contracts and currency swaps, and of cross-currency swaps that qualify for hedge accounting on the basis of changes in spot rates, Sanofi may elect for each transaction to use the option whereby the premium/discount or foreign currency basis spread are treated in the same way as the time value of an option.

Discontinuation of hedge accounting

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the eligibility criteria are no longer met (in particular, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised), or if there is a change in the market risk management objective of the hedging relationship.

Update to Note B.8.5.(“Non-derivative financial liabilities”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Borrowings and debt

Bank borrowings and debt instruments are initially measured at fair value of the consideration received, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequently, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. All costs related to the issuance of borrowings or debt instruments, and all differences between the issue proceeds net of transaction costs and the value on redemption, are recognized withinFinancial expenses in the income statement over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Liabilities related to business combinations and tonon-controlling interests

These line items record the fair value of (i) contingent consideration payable in connection with business combinations and (ii) commitments to buy out equity holders of subsidiaries, including put options granted tonon-controlling interests.

Adjustments to the fair value of commitments to buy out equity holders of subsidiaries, including put options granted tonon-controlling interests, are recognized in equity.

Othernon-derivative financial liabilities

Othernon-derivative financial liabilities include trade accounts payable, which are measured at fair value (which in most cases equates to face value) on initial recognition, and subsequently at amortized cost.

Update to Note B.8.6. (“Fair value of financial instruments”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Under IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) and IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures), fair value measurements must be classified using a hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure the fair value of the instrument. This hierarchy has three levels:

• level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (without modification or repackaging);

• level 2: quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or valuation techniques in which all important inputs are derived from observable market data;

• level 3: valuation techniques in which not all important inputs are derived from observable market data.

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 20

The table below shows the disclosures required under IFRS 7 relating to the measurement principles applied to financial instruments.

(b) In the case of debt designated as a hedged item in a fair value hedging relationship, the carrying amount in the consolidated balance sheet includes changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk(s).

(c) For business combinations completed prior to application of the revised IFRS 3, contingent consideration is recognized when payment becomes probable. See Note B.3.1. to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Update to Note B.8.7. (“Derecognition of financial instruments”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to cash flows from the asset have ended or have been transferred and when Sanofi has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. If Sanofi has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset, it is derecognized if Sanofi does not retain control of the asset.

A financial liability is derecognized when Sanofi’s contractual obligations in respect of the liability are discharged, cancelled or extinguished.

21 | Sanofi –2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

Update to Note B.8.8. (“Risks relating to financial instruments”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Market risks in respect ofnon-current financial assets, cash equivalents, derivative instruments and debt are described in the discussions of risk factors presented in Item 3.D. and Item 11 of Sanofi’s Annual Report on Form20-F for 2017.

Credit risk is the risk that customers may fail to pay their debts. This risk also arises as a result of the concentration of Sanofi’s sales with its largest customers, in particular certain wholesalers in the United States, and is also described in the discussion of risk factors in the Annual Report on Form20-F for 2017.

Update to Note B.18. (“Fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration”) to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017

Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration that was (i) already carried in the books of an acquired entity, or (ii) granted in connection with a business combination and initially recognized as a liability in accordance with the revised IFRS 3, are reported in profit or loss. Such adjustments are reported separately in the income statement, in the line itemFair value remeasurement of contingent consideration.

This line item also includes changes in the fair value of contingent consideration receivable in connection with a divestment and classified as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

Finally, it includes the effect of the unwinding of discount, and of exchange rate movements where the asset or liability is expressed in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting entity.

A.2. USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make reasonable estimates and assumptions based on information available at the date of the finalization of the financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the financial statements, and disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities as of the date of the review of the financial statements. Examples of estimates and assumptions include:

• amounts deducted from sales for projected sales returns, chargeback incentives, rebates and price reductions;

• impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and investments accounted for using the equity method;

• the valuation of goodwill and the valuation and useful life of acquired intangible assets;

• the measurement of contingent consideration receivable in connection with asset divestments;

• the measurement of financial assets at amortized cost;

• the measurement of equity investments in unquoted entities;

• the amount of post-employment benefit obligations;

• the amount of provisions for restructuring, litigation, tax risks and environmental risks;

• the amount of deferred tax assets resulting from tax losses available forcarry-forward and deductible temporary differences;

• the direct and indirect impacts recorded in 2017 of the US tax reform (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017), including the estimated tax charge on deemed repatriation that is attributable to the accumulated earnings ofnon-US operations. The estimate of such tax charge will be finalized based on further analysis and, as the case may be, computations taking into account any future clarifications and supplementary guidance issued by the US Congress, the US Internal Revenue Service, the US Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulators;

• the measurement of contingent consideration liabilities.

Actual results could differ from these estimates.

For half-year financial reporting purposes, and as allowed under IAS 34, Sanofi has determined income tax expense on the basis of an estimate of the effective tax rate for the full financial year. This rate is applied to business operating income plus financial income and minus financial expenses, and before (i) the share of profit/loss of investments accounted for using the equity method and (ii) net income attributable tonon-controlling interests. The estimated full-year effective tax rate is based on the tax rates that will be applicable to projectedpre-tax profits or losses arising in the various tax jurisdictions in which Sanofi operates.

Management is also required to exercise judgment in assessing whether the criteria specified in IFRS 5(Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations) are met, and hence whether anon-current asset or asset group should be classified as “held for sale or exchange” and whether a discontinued operation should be reported separately. Such assessments are reviewed at each reporting date based on the facts and circumstances.

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 22

A.3. SEASONAL TRENDS

Sanofi’s activities are not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.

A.4. CONSOLIDATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SUBSIDIARIES IN HYPERINFLATIONARY ECONOMIES

In 2018, Sanofi is continuing to account for subsidiaries based in Venezuela using the full consolidation method, on the basis that the criteria for control as specified in IFRS 10 (Consolidated Financial Statements) are still met. Since the end of January 2018, changes to the Venezuelan foreign exchange system mean that the “DICOM” rate is now compulsory and applies to all transactions. The “DIPRO” rate, set at 10 bolivars per US dollar, has been discontinued. The “DICOM” rate is a floating exchange rate against the US dollar that initially stood at 206 bolivars per US dollar at the beginning of 2016 and was approximately 115,000 bolivars per US dollar as of June 30, 2018. Consequently, the contribution of Sanofi’s Venezuelan subsidiaries to the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

In Argentina, the cumulative rate of inflation over the last three years is in excess of 100%, based on a combination of indices used to measure inflation in that country. Consequently, Sanofi intends to regard Argentina as a hyperinflationary economy from July 1, 2018 onwards and to apply IAS 29 (Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies). Under IAS 29,non-monetary balance sheet items must be restated using a general price index; monetary items are not restated. Items in the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income must be restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially recorded in the financial statements.

The impact of hyperinflation on Sanofi’s Argentinean subsidiaries would be immaterial in the Sanofi financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The exchange rate used as of that date is 28.47 Argentinean pesos per US dollar.

A.5. NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BY THE IASB AND APPLICABLE FROM 2019 OR LATER

A.5.1. STANDARDS

In January 2016 the IASB issued IFRS 16 (Leases), which aligns the accounting treatment of operating leases with that already applied to finance leases (i.e. recognition in the balance sheet of a liability for future lease payments, and of an asset for the associated rights of use). The first-time application of IFRS 16 will also lead to a change in presentation:

• In the income statement: the rental expense currently recognized as a component ofOperating income will, under IFRS 16, be recognized partly as depreciation expense withinOperating income, and partly withinFinancial expenses.

• In the statement of cash flows: the rental payments currently presented withinNet cash provided by/(used in) operatingactivities will, under IFRS 16, be presented withinNet cash provided by/(used in) financing activities to the extent that those payments are allocated to repayment of the lease liability.

IFRS 16 is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

Most of the leases contracted by Sanofi are operating leases in which Sanofi is the lessee. The main assets leased are buildings, cars, and computer hardware. An impact assessment is ongoing. For information, Sanofi’s obligations undernon-cancelable operating leases are disclosed in Note D.21. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In addition, some supply and service contracts are also being assessed.

Sanofi’s IFRS 16 project is being led by a team composed of representatives from the various support functions involved (purchasing, real estate, information systems, finance, shared services). As of June 30, 2018, Sanofi has completed the inventorization of the vast majority of active leases.

For first-time application of IFRS 16, Sanofi expects to elect application as of January 1, 2019 with no restatement of prior periods, using the simplified retrospective method.

As of today and on the basis of current contracts, Sanofi’s preliminary estimate of the obligation for future lease payments, determined in accordance with IFRS 16, would lie between €1.2 billion and €1.6 billion.

Impact analysis is ongoing, and consequently that estimate may be subject to change.

23 | Sanofi –2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

A.5.2. AMENDMENTS, ANNUAL IMPROVEMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

Sanofi does not expect a material impact from the application of:

• Amendments issued under the “Annual Improvements 2015-2017” program on December 12, 2017, and applicable from January 1, 2019 onwards subject to endorsement by the European Union.

• “Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement” (amendments to IAS 19), issued on February 7, 2018, will be applicable prospectively to plan amendments from January 1, 2019 onwards subject to endorsement by the European Union.

• “Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards”, issued on March 29, 2018, is applicable from January 1, 2020 onwards subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment updates references to the conceptual framework in various IFRS standards following publication of the new conceptual framework by the IASB in March 2018. In practice, Sanofi does not expect any material impact from this amendment, which alters the form but not the substance of the accounting principles contained in IFRS standards.

Sanofi will not early adopt these pronouncements.

B/ SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2018

B.1. CHANGES IN THE SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION DUE TO ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTMENTS

Acquisition of Bioverativ

On January 22, 2018, Sanofi and Bioverativ Inc. (Bioverativ), a biotechnology company focused on therapies for hemophilia and other rare blood disorders, entered into a definitive agreement under which Sanofi offered to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Bioverativ for $105 per share in cash, representing an equity value of approximately $11.6 billion (on a fully diluted basis). The transaction was unanimously approved by both the Sanofi and Bioverativ Boards of Directors. On February 7, 2018, Sanofi commenced a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Bioverativ for $105 per share in cash, without interest thereon and net of any required tax withholding. On March 8, 2018, the acquisition of Bioverativ was completed, with Sanofi holding all the outstanding shares of Bioverativ on expiration of the tender offer.

The provisional purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of goodwill amounting to €2,640 million, as indicated below:

(€ million)	Fair value at acquisition date
Other intangible assets		8,154
Inventories		145
Other current andnon-current assets and liabilities		445
True North Therapeutics contingent consideration liability		(226	)
Net deferred tax position		(1,804	)
Net assets of Bioverativ		6,714
Goodwill		2,640
Purchase price		9,354

The other intangible assets recognized mainly comprise marketed hemophilia products (Eloctate^®, Alprolix^®), and development projects relating to treatments for rare hematological disorders.

Goodwill represents (i) the pipeline of future products in early-stage research and development not identified individually at the acquisition date; (ii) the capacity to draw on a specialized structure to refresh the existing product portfolio; (iii) the competencies of Bioverativ staff; (iv) the benefits derived from the creation of new growth platforms; and (v) the expected future synergies and other benefits from the combination of Bioverativ and Sanofi.

The goodwill arising on this acquisition is not tax deductible.

From the acquisition date, the contributions from Bioverativ to net sales and operating profit of the Pharmaceuticals segment (for a definition refer to Note D.35., “Segment Information” to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017) amount to €321 million and €159 million, respectively. Over the same period, Bioverativ made a negative contribution of €163 million to net profit, including expenses charged during the period relating to the fair value remeasurement of assets recognized at the acquisition date. During the first half of 2018, Bioverativ generated net sales of €497 million.

Acquisition-related costs recognized in profit or loss for the period amounted to €25 million, and were recorded primarily withinOther operating expenses.

The net cash outflow on this acquisition amounts to €8,932 million, and is recorded withinAcquisitions of consolidated undertakings and investments accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

25 | Sanofi –2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

Acquisition of Ablynx

In January 2018, Sanofi and Ablynx, a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of Nanobodies^®, entered into a definitive agreement under which Sanofi offered to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares, including shares represented by American Depositary Shares (ADSs), warrants and convertible bonds of Ablynx, at a price per Ablynx share of €45 in cash, valuing Ablynx at approximately €3.9 billion (on a fully diluted basis). The transaction was unanimously approved by both the Sanofi and Ablynx Boards of Directors. On May 14, 2018, Sanofi and Ablynx announced that at the end of the initial acceptance period of the tender offer, Sanofi held 95.60% of the outstanding shares of Ablynx, of which more than 90% had been acquired through the offers. On June 19, 2018, after the end of thesqueeze-out tender period, Sanofi announced that it held all the outstanding shares of Ablynx.

The provisional purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of goodwill amounting to €2,301 million, as indicated below:

(€ million)	Fair value at acquisition date
Other intangible assets		1,689
Other current andnon-current assets and liabilities		332
Net deferred tax position		(422	)
Net assets of Ablynx		1,599
Goodwill		2,301
Purchase price		3,900

The impact of this acquisition on the business net income and net income of Sanofi for the first half of 2018 is immaterial.

Goodwill represents (i) the pipeline of future products in early-stage research and development not identified individually at the acquisition date; (ii) the capacity to draw on a specialized structure to refresh the existing product portfolio; (iii) the competencies of Ablynx staff; (iv) the benefits derived from the creation of new growth platforms; and (v) the expected future synergies and other benefits from the combination of Ablynx and Sanofi.

The goodwill arising on this acquisition is not tax deductible.

The net cash outflow on this acquisition amounts to €3,642 million, and is recorded withinAcquisitions of consolidated undertakings and investments accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Divestment of the European Generics business

Further to the exclusivity agreement of April 17, 2018 between Sanofi and Advent International (Advent) under which Advent would acquire Zentiva, Sanofi’s European Generics business, for an enterprise value of €1,919 million, the two groups announced on June 28, 2018 that they had finalized their negotiations by signing a share purchase agreement. As of June 30, 2018, completion of the transaction is regarded as highly probable. Consequently, all assets of the European Generics business included in the sale, and all liabilities directly related to those assets, are presented in the line itemsAssets held for sale or exchangeandLiabilities related to assets held for sale or exchange, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet. The European Generics business is not an operating segment of Sanofi and does not qualify as a discontinued operation under IFRS 5.

The European Generics business is included in the Pharmaceuticals segment. For detailed information about the contribution of the European Generics business to the consolidated financial statements, refer to Note B.21.

Divestment of shares in Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Regeneron)

During the first half of 2018, Sanofi divested 0.1 million shares in the biopharmaceutical company Regeneron at market value (€32 million). As of June 30, 2018 Sanofi’s investment in Regeneron had a carrying amount of €2,624 million (see Note B.5.). This represents an equity interest of 22.0% as of that date, compared with 22.2% as at December 31, 2017.

B.2. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Acquisitions of property, plant and equipment during the first half of 2018 amounted to €608 million. These included €387 million of investments in the Pharmaceuticals segment, primarily in industrial facilities (€310 million). The Vaccines segment accounted for €167 million of investments during the period, and the Consumer Healthcare segment for €2 million.

Impairment losses of €31 million were charged against property, plant and equipment in the first half of 2018, primarily in the Pharmaceuticals segment.

Firm orders for property, plant and equipment stood at €584 million as of June 30, 2018.

• an equity injection into MyoKardia, Inc., initiated under a collaboration agreement signed with that company in September 2014, valued at €178 million as of June 30, 2018 and representing an equity interest of approximately 9% as of that date (versus €141 million and an equity interest of approximately 11% as of December 31, 2017); and

• an equity injection into JHL Biotech, Inc. carried out under a collaboration agreement signed with that company on December 5, 2016, valued at €50 million as of June 30, 2018 and representing an equity interest of approximately 13% as of that date (versus €49 million and an equity interest of approximately 13% as of December 31, 2017).

Employees were offered the opportunity to subscribe to the capital increase at a price of €52.66 per share, representing 80% of the average of the opening quoted market prices of Sanofi shares during the 20 trading days preceding June 9, 2018.

The subscription period was open from June 11 through June 29, 2018. For each tranche of five shares applied for, the applicant received one additional new share by way of employer’s contribution; and for each application for 20 or more shares, the applicant received an additional four new shares by way of employer’s contribution. The plan resulted in a total of 2,298,783 shares being subscribed for, and the issuance of a further 102,401 shares as an employer’s contribution under the terms of the plan.

An expense of €32 million was recognized for this plan in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The shares will be issued, and the capital increase recognized in shareholders’ equity, on July 27, 2018.

On March 2, 2017, the Sanofi Board of Directors approved an employee share ownership plan in the form of a capital increase reserved for employees.

B.8.6. STOCK SUBSCRIPTION OPTION PLANS

On May 2, 2018, the Board of Directors granted 220,000 stock subscription options at an exercise price of €65.84 per share. The vesting period is four years, and the plan expires on May 2, 2028.

Sanofi used the following assumptions in determining the fair value of the plan:

• dividend yield: 4.87%;

• plan maturity: 7 years;

• volatility of Sanofi shares, computed on a historical basis: 23.10%;

• risk-free interest rate: 0.363%.

On that basis, the fair value of one option is €6.32, and the fair value of the stock subscription option plan awarded in June 2018 is €1 million. That amount is recognized as an expense over the vesting period, with the corresponding amount recognized directly in equity.

The total expense recognized for all stock options in the six months ended June 30, 2018 was €1 million, versus €2 million in the comparable period of 2017.

The table below provides summary information about options outstanding and exercisable as of June 30, 2018:

	Outstanding						Exercisable

The above positions mainly hedge materialforeign-currency cash flows arising after the end of the reporting period in relation to transactions carried out during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and recognized in the balance sheet at that date. Gains and losses on hedging instruments (forward contracts) are calculated and recognized in parallel with the recognition of gains and losses on the hedged items. Due to this hedging relationship, the commercial foreign exchange difference on those items (hedging instruments and hedged transactions) will be immaterial in the second half of 2018.

B.10.2. CURRENCY AND INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES USED TO MANAGE FINANCIAL EXPOSURE

The cash pooling arrangements for foreign subsidiaries outside the euro zone, and some of Sanofi’s financing activities, expose certain Sanofi entities to financial foreign exchange risk (i.e. the risk of changes in the value of loans and borrowings denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the lender or borrower).

That foreign exchange exposure is hedged by Sanofi using firm financial instruments (usually currency swaps or forward contracts) contracted with banking counterparties.

The table below shows financial currency hedging instruments in place as of June 30, 2018. The notional amount is translated into euros at the relevant closing exchange rate.

To limit risk and optimize the cost of its short-term and medium-term net debt, Sanofi uses derivative instruments that alter the interest rate and/or currency structure of its debt and cash.

The table below shows instruments of this type in place as of June 30, 2018:

B.11. LIABILITIES RELATED TO BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND TONON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

For a description of the nature of the liabilities reported in the line itemLiabilities related to business combinations and tonon-controlling interests, refer to Note B.8.5. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The liabilities related to business combinations and tonon-controlling interests shown in the table below are level 3 instruments under the IFRS 7 fair value hierarchy (see Note A.1.3.), except for the CVRs issued in connection with the acquisition of Genzyme, which are level 1 instruments.

Movements in liabilities related to business combinations and tonon-controlling interests during the first half of 2018 are shown below:

(€ million)	Liabilities related to non-controlling interests(a) & other items		CVRs issued in connection with the acquisition of Genzyme (b)		Bayer contingent consideration arising from the acquisition of Genzyme			MSD contingent consideration (European Vaccines business)			Other			Total (c)

Of which:
• Current portion															450
•Non-current portion															1,018

(a) Put options granted tonon-controlling interests and commitment to future buyout ofnon-controlling interests held by BMS.

(b) Based on the quoted market price per CVR of $0.50 as of June 30, 2018 and $0.38 as of December 31, 2017.

(c) As of January 1, 2018, this comprised anon-current portion of €1,026 million and a current portion of €343 million.

(d) Includes €226 million for contingent consideration liabilities in favor of True North Therapeutics and €2 million of liabilities owed to Bioverativ employees at the acquisition date.

(e) Amounts reported within the income statement line itemFair value remeasurement of contingent consideration.

As of June 30, 2018,Liabilities related to business combinations and tonon-controlling interests mainly comprised the following items:

• Liability arising from the acquisition of True North Therapeutics by Bioverativ in March 2018. The former shareholders of True North Therapeutics are entitled to milestone payments contingent on the attainment of development, registration and sales objectives; the fair value of the resulting liability was measured at $189 million as of June 30, 2018. That fair value is determined based on the contractual terms and on development and sales projections which have been weighted to reflect the probability of success, and discounted. If the discount rate were to fall by 1 percentage point, the fair value of the contingent consideration would increase by approximately 2%.

• Bayer contingent consideration liability arising from the acquisition of Genzyme in 2011. As of June 30, 2018, Bayer was still entitled to receive the following potential payments:

• a percentage of sales of alemtuzumab up to a maximum of $1,250 million or over a maximum period of ten years, whichever is achieved first;

• milestone payments based on specified levels of worldwide sales of alemtuzumab beginning in 2021, unless Genzyme exercises its right to buy out those milestone payments by making aone-time payment not exceeding $900 million.

The fair value of this liability was measured at €611 million as of June 30, 2018, versus €701 million as of December 31, 2017. The fair value of the Bayer liability is determined by applying the above contractual terms to sales projections which have been weighted to reflect the probability of success, and discounted. If the discount rate were to fall by 1 percentage point, the fair value of the Bayer liability would increase by approximately 4%.

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 38

• MSD contingent consideration liability arising from the 2016 acquisition of the Sanofi Pasteur activities carried on within the former Sanofi Pasteur MSD joint venture. This liability amounted to €394 million as of June 30, 2018 compared with €420 million as of December 31, 2017 (see Note D.18. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017). The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined by applying the royalty percentage stipulated in the contract to discounted sales projections.

B.12.NON-CURRENT PROVISIONS AND OTHERNON-CURRENT LIABILITIES

Non-current provisions and othernon-current liabilities break down as follows:

(b) Amounts charged and reversed during the first half of 2018 were largely due to reassessments of tax risks and the resolution of various procedures under way with the tax authorities of several countries.

(c) Includes transfers between current andnon-current.

As of June 30, 2018, a liability of €1,030 million was recognized, representing the estimated tax charge on deemed repatriation attributable to the accumulated earnings ofnon-US operations payable over 8 years (€1,069 million as of 31 December 2017). Of this, €865 million falls due after more than one year and is presented within “othernon-current liabilities” (€708 million as of 31 December 2017).

Provisions for pensions and other post-employment benefits

For an analysis of the sensitivity of obligations in respect of pensions and other employee benefits, and the assumptions used as of December 31, 2017, see Note D.19.1. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

39 | Sanofi –2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

B.13. OFF BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS

Off balance sheet commitments to third parties arise under collaboration agreements entered into by Sanofi (see Note D.21.1. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017).

Agreements signed during the first half of 2018 gave rise to the following new commitments:

• Payments associated with projects in the research and development phase: € 2.0 billion.

• Payments contingent on the attainment of specified sales targets once a product reaches the market: €0.8 billion.

• Potential milestone payments relating to development projects under collaboration agreements: €0.1 billion.

The principal commitments entered into, amended or discontinued during the period are described below:

On January 7, 2018, Sanofi and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Alnylam”) announced a strategic restructuring of their alliance to develop RNAi therapeutics for the treatment of rare genetic diseases. Sanofi obtained global rights for the investigational therapeutic fitusiran in the treatment of hemophilia and other rare bleeding disorders. Alnylam obtained global rights for the programs relating to the investigational therapeutics programs patisiran andALN-TTRsc02 in the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis. As of June 30, 2018, the right to receive and obligation to pay future royalties are not reflected in the Sanofi financial statements.

On January 7, 2018, Celgene Corporation announced the acquisition of Impact Biomedicines for $7 billion, comprising an upfront payment of $1.1 billion and variable consideration contingent on future performances totaling $5.9 billion dollars. In 2016, Sanofi sold all its rights to fedratinib (which it held following the 2010 acquisition of TargeGen Inc., an unquoted biotech company specializing in the treatment of blood disorders), and in exchange received a 10% equity interest in Impact Biomedicines.

On January 8, 2018, Sanofi and Regeneron announced (i) amendments to their collaboration agreement on the development and commercialization of human therapeutic antibodies; (ii) amendments to their IO License and Collaboration Agreement on the development of cemiplimab (REGN 2810) in the field of immuno-oncology; and (iii) a limited waiver and amendment of the Amended Investor Agreement pursuant to a letter agreement (the “2018 Letter Agreement”). The announcement included a series of amendments to the collaboration agreements relating to the funding of additional programs to develop REGN2810 in extended indications, and of additional programs on Dupixent^® and IL33 (REGN 3500/SAR 440340). The $650 million development budget for thePD-1 inhibitor antibody will be increased to $1.64 billion through 2022, funded equally by the two companies (i.e. from $325 million to $820 million for each partner).The additional programs on Dupixent^® and IL33 (REGN 3500/SAR 440340) will focus on extending the current range of indications and finding new indications, and improvingco-morbidity between multiple pathologies.

On February 8, 2018, Sanofi signed a partnership agreement with AnaBios Corporation to develop and commercialize new treatments for irregular heartbeat, primarily atrial fibrillation.

On February 12, 2018, Sanofi Pasteur signed a partnership agreement with SK Chemicals under which Sanofi acquires exclusive development and commercialization rights in the United States and Europe for vaccines derived from the cell-based technology developed by SK Chemicals.

On June 8, 2018, Sanofi signed a strategic partnership agreement in oncology with Revolution Medicines (Redwood City, California, United States), an innovative biotech company that develops targeted-action small molecules. Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly develop the principal candidate derived from Revolution Medicines biological research: RMC 4630, an inhibitor of SHP2 (PTPN11), a cellular enzyme in the protein tyrosine phosphatase family that plays an important role in multiple forms of cancer. Thefirst-in-human clinical trials with RMC 4630 are expected later in 2018.

On June 11, 2018, Sanofi Pasteur entered into a partnership agreement with Translate Bio to develop messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines derived from Translate Bio technology for five infectious disease pathogens, with an option to extend to additional pathogens. If that option is exercised, the total value of the transaction would rise to $805 million.

Sanofi and Avila Therapeutics Inc. (Avila, acquired by Celgene Corporation in 2012) have decided to end their research collaboration on anti-cancer treatments than began in 2010.

In addition, by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Bioverativ on March 8, 2018 (see Note B.1.), Sanofi assumed the commitments made by that company to various partners under collaboration agreements, in particular:

• with Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. (Sangamo) to research, develop, and commercialize therapeutics for hemoglobinopathies, in particular beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease, based on Sangamo’s gene therapy platform;

• with Bicycle Therapeutics Ltd. (Bicycle) to discover, develop and commercialize innovative therapies for hemophilia and sickle cell disease.

2018 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT – Sanofi | 40

Sanofi also assumed the commitments regarding contingent consideration entered into by Bioverativ when it acquired True North Therapeutics (see Note B.11.).

Finally, by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Ablynx on June 19, 2018 (see Note B.1.), Sanofi assumed various commitments in favor of that company, mainly in respect of milestone payments relating to development projects and royalties under collaboration agreements between Ablynx and various partners, in particular:

• with Boehringer Ingelheim: in September 2007;

• with Merck KGaa: in September 2008;

• with Merck & Co, Inc.: in October 2012 and January 2014.

B.14. LEGAL AND ARBITRAL PROCEEDINGS

Sanofi and its affiliates are involved in litigation, arbitration and other legal proceedings. These proceedings typically are related to product liability claims, intellectual property rights (particularly claims against generic companies seeking to limit the patent protection of Sanofi products), competition law and trade practices, commercial claims, employment and wrongful discharge claims, tax assessment claims, waste disposal and pollution claims, and claims under warranties or indemnification arrangements relating to business divestitures.

The matters discussed below constitute the most significant developments since publication of the disclosures concerning legal proceedings in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

B.14.1. PRODUCTS

PLAVIX^® PRODUCT LITIGATION IN THE US

As of June 30, 2018, there are 328 pending lawsuits seeking recovery under US state law for personal injuries allegedly sustained in connection with the use of Plavix^®. They involve 443 total plaintiffs (but 376 ingesting plaintiffs).

DEPAKINE^® PRODUCT LITIGATION IN FRANCE

In July 2018, the French affiliate of Sanofi filed an administrative claim against the French Ministry of Health seeking compensation for the damages awarded by the Court of Appeals of Orléans (France) in the Carrère case on the grounds of incompleteness of information provided in the product leaflet.

B.14.2. PATENTS

PRALUENT^® (ALIROCUMAB)-RELATED AMGEN PATENT LITIGATION IN THE US

In the US, the case has been sent back to the Delaware Court. The Court has set a jury trial on invalidity to begin in February 2019, with a jury trial on damages immediately to follow, should Sanofi and Regeneron lose on validity. The Delaware Court also allowed each side to file one summary judgment motion with oral argument to take place in January 2019.

In July 2018, Amgen filed a petition for certiorari with the US Supreme Court. Amgen is asking the Supreme Court to review and overturn the October 5, 2017 Federal Circuit decision, in particular the validity issues. This filing does not impact the ongoing proceedings in Delaware.

PRALUENT^® (ALIROCUMAB)-RELATED AMGEN PATENT LITIGATION IN EUROPE

In the lawsuit filed in France by Amgen in 2016 alleging that alirocumab infringes its ‘124 (FR) patent, the judge postponed in June 2018 the oral hearing to February 2019.

The infringement case in Germany (Düsseldorf Regional Court) is currently stayed pending the decision of the European Patent Office (EPO) in the opposition challenging the validity of Amgen’s patent and requesting its revocation. After the Preliminary Opinion issued in December 2017 that favored Amgen and rejected Sanofi’s invalidity arguments, Amgen petitioned the Dusseldorf Regional Court to lift the stay in the infringement litigation. A hearing on the issue of the stay is scheduled for September 2018. In addition, in July 2018, Sanofi filed a new action in the German Federal Patent Court seeking a compulsory license to Amgen’s patent, including an urgent request for a provisional compulsory license.

DUPIXENT^® (DUPILUMAB)-RELATED AMGEN PATENT OPPOSITION AND REVOCATION IN EUROPE

Early 2018, Immunex appealed the decision of the EPO revoking Immunex Patent EP2292665. EPO decision is suspended pending the appeal ruling.

B.14.3 CONTINGENCIES ARISING FROM CERTAIN BUSINESS DIVESTITURES

LLRICE601 AND LLRICE604 – ARBITRATION

The evidentiary hearing took place in May 2018. Post-hearing briefs have to be submitted to the arbitral tribunal by each party by end of September andmid-November 2018.

BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM (BI) RETAINED LIABILITIES

Following the closing in January 2017 of the swap of Sanofi’s Animal Health business for BI’s Consumer Healthcare (CHC) business, both parties have issued claims against one another for breaches of representations, payments for certain studies, withdrawal of products from particular markets, and claims related to liabilities arising before Closing. The asset swap deal was structured such that the Consumer Health sale and purchase agreement and the Animal Health sale and purchase agreement are nearly identical and have mirroring indemnification provisions. Accordingly, both agreements contain escalation procedures to be followed to resolve claims amicably in advance of formal dispute resolution. Sanofi is working to investigate the validity of BI’s claims related to Animal Health and to pursue its claims pertaining to Consumer Health.

B.15. OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

Other operating income amounted to €323 million in the first half of 2018 (versus €173 million in the first half of 2017), andOther operating expensesto €165 million (versus €71 million in the first half of 2017).

(d) When internal margin included in inventory is eliminated, a deferred tax asset is recognized on the basis of the tax rate applicable to the subsidiary that holds the inventory, which may differ from the tax rate of the subsidiary that generated the eliminated intragroup margin.

(e) For 2017, this line includes the consequences of the French Constitutional Council ruling of October 6, 2017 on the additional 3% contribution on dividends paid out in cash.

(f) Net impact on the effective tax rate (current taxes, impact of the tax deduction, and deferred taxes).

(g) For 2018, this line comprises an adjustment of €102 million to the estimated tax charge on deemed repatriation attributable to the accumulated earnings ofnon-US operations.

For 2017, this line includes an expense of €1,193 million for the consequences of US tax reform, comprising the estimated tax charge on deemed repatriation attributable to the accumulated earnings ofnon-US operations payable over 8 years (€1,084 million) and a further expense of €109 million representing (i) the remeasurement of deferred taxes following the reduction in the corporate income tax rate and (ii) an adjustment to deferred taxes on the fair value of the reserves of Sanofi subsidiaries.

(h) For 2018, “Other items” includes the net tax effect of taxable temporary differences associated with holdings in Sanofi subsidiaries. In determining the amount of the deferred tax liability for 2018 and 2017, Sanofi took into account changes in the ownership structure of certain subsidiaries.

B.20. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As indicated in Notes A.5. and B.26. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, Sanofi has three operating segments: Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Healthcare and Human Vaccines (Vaccines).

The Pharmaceuticals segment comprises the commercial operations of the following global franchises: Specialty Care (Rare Diseases, Multiple Sclerosis, Oncology, Immunology), Diabetes & Cardiovascular, Established Prescription Products and Generics, together with research, development and production activities dedicated to our Pharmaceuticals segment. This segment also includes all associates whose activities are related to pharmaceuticals, in particular Regeneron.

The Consumer Healthcare segment comprises, for all geographical territories, the commercial operations for our Consumer Healthcare products, together with research, development and production activities dedicated to those products.

The Vaccines segment comprises, for all geographical territories (including from January 1, 2017 certain European territories previously included in the Sanofi Pasteur MSD joint venture), the commercial operations of Sanofi Pasteur, together with research, development and production activities dedicated to vaccines.

Inter-segment transactions are not material.

The costs of Sanofi’s global functions (Medical Affairs, External Affairs, Finance, Human Resources, Legal Affairs, Information Solutions & Technologies, Sanofi Business Services, etc.) are managed centrally at group-wide level. For the year ended December 31, 2017 and subsequent years, the costs of those functions are presented within the “Other” category. That category also includes other reconciling items such as retained commitments in respect of divested activities.

Consequently, the presentation of 2017 comparatives presented below, and the associated performance analysis, have been adjusted to reflect the new segmental reporting model.

B.20.1. SEGMENT RESULTS

Sanofi reports segment results on the basis of “Business operating income”. This indicator is used internally by Sanofi’s chief operating decision maker to measure the performance of each operating segment and to allocate resources.

Business operating income is derived fromOperating income, adjusted as follows:

• the amounts reported in the line itemsRestructuring costs and similar items,Fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration andOther gains and losses, and litigation are eliminated;

• amortization and impairment losses charged against intangible assets (other than software and other rights of an industrial or operational nature) are eliminated;

• the share of profits/losses of investments accounted for using the equity method is added;

• net income attributable tonon-controlling interests is deducted;

• otheracquisition-related effects (primarily the workdown of acquired inventories remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the impact of acquisitions on investments accounted for using the equity method) are eliminated;

• restructuring costs relating to investments accounted for using the equity method are eliminated.
