This statutory auditors’ report includes information required by European regulation and French law, such as information about the appointment of the statutory auditors or verification of the management report and other documents provided to shareholders. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional auditing standards applicable in France. For the year ended December 31 st , 2017. To the annual general meeting of Teleperformance SE, Opinion Justification of assessments - key audit matters

In accordance with the requirements of Articles L.823-9 and R.823-7 of the French Commercial Code ( Code de commerce ) relating to the justification of our assessments, we bring your attention to the key audit matter relating to risk of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed this risk. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the financial statements. Identified risk As of December 31 st , 2017 investments in subsidiaries were recorded in the balance sheet for a net carrying amount of €1,725 million, i.e. 53% of total assets. The company carries out impairment tests of its investments in subsidiaries at each reporting date. The recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries is represented by their value in use. This is determined either on the basis of the company’s share of equity in each investment, possibly revalued, or on the basis of discounted future cash flows method adjusted for net debt. Future cash flows are determined over a 5 year period. Cash flows for the first three years are based on the three year plan prepared by the management of subsidiaries and approved by Group management. Cash flows for the following two years are derived from the three year plan on the basis of growth and profit rates considered reasonable for the related subsidiaries. Depending on the circumstances, the group can limit the use of cash flows over a three-year period. The terminal value is based on the cash flows of the last year and assumes perpetual growth rate equal to inflation. The 2017 impairment review has resulted in an impairment provision of €70 million on the investments in Teleperformance France. We considered the impairment of investments in subsidiaries to be a key audit matter considering the weight of these assets on the balance sheet, the importance of management’s judgments to determine the assumptions relating to cash flows forecasts, discount and long-term growth rates. Impairment of investments in subsidiaries (Notes 1.2 and 3b to the annual financial statements )
