Thales has published robust H1 results. The massive Rafales contract has been recorded and pushed the order intake to a new record, boosting FCF with the downpayments associated with it. The improved guidance is mainly due to FX, and the organic sales midpoint has only improved by 50bp, which is in line with our view. Thales is still committed to bolt-on acquisitions of less than €500m, but does not totally exclude Atos.
