EBITDA and Adj. EBIT higher than 1H 2014 due to (i) the stage of completion of manufacturing projects; (ii) improvement in manufacturing project margins; and (iii) control of overhead expenses Personnel costs without one offs grow just by 1.4% Other operating expenses without IPO costs are lower in 1H 2015 by 2.5% Adj. EBITDA and Adj. EBIT margins significantly above 1H 2014 thanks to positive contribution of manufacturing projects with higher than expected margin due to cost savings achieved in fully executed projects Adjustments include one off items: Cost related to the disbursement of shares to employees after the IPO ( 5.2 mm) included under Employee welfare expenses MIP ( 3.2 mm) liquidated at listing IPO costs ( 5.2 mm) included under Other operating costs AVRIL Amortization ( 4 mm) Following auditor s request, Talgo has booked the impact of the Management Incentive Plan MIP (linked to the listing and already liquidated) directly against shareholders equity, with no effect on P&L (except for the amount already provisioned prior to the IPO), which implies a significant positive impact on reported Net Income No impact on tax shield from MIP, which is fully accountable 8

6. Cash Flow Cash flow generation in H1 2015 driven by (i) funding of working capital needs of manufacturing projects, (ii) extraordinary one off payments linked to IPO, and (iii) execution of investment program Cash flow statement 1H15 1H14 % Change million Net Profit 23.5 15.0 57.4% Corporate income tax 4.4 3.2 33.9% Depreciation & Amortization 9.0 8.4 6.7% Financial income/financial expenses 2.6 2.7 (3.6%) Other result adjust.

7. Working Capital Detail Increase in working capital needs linked to growth in manufacturing activity Change in working capital 1H15 mm Inventory (14.8) Accounts receivable (55.7) Trade and Other payables (inc. Advances received) (44.7) Other assets and liabilities 1.5 Change in working capital (113.7) Increase in Inventories linked to higher manufacturing activity Growth in Accounts Receivable mainly driven by: i. the generation of a tax credit, and ii. increase in manufacturing activity for the Mecca-Medina and the Kazakhstan projects Trade and other payables decreased as Advances received were consumed given manufacturing activity Talgo s working capital can vary significantly depending on the size and stage of each contract and agreed payment milestones. The manufacturing business is the main driver of working capital swings Order intake and cash generation needs to be analysed in about three year rolling basis given the size of contracts, the associated impact of prepayments and the phasing of each project All the EBITDA coming from the projects executed since January 2015 will be converted into cash during the life of the projects 10

8. Net Financial Debt Sound balance sheet with comfortable financing position and ample available liquidity Financial debt June 2015 Dec 2014 million Long term financial liabilities 131.5 42.6 Short term financial liabilities 60.5 10.9 Cash & cash equivalents (17.2) (87.9) Net financial debt 174.8 (34.4) Adjusted LTM EBITDA 108.8 Net financial debt / Adjusted LTM EBITDA 1.6x Bank financing ( 192 mn): 100 mm bank loan with Banco Santander; 50 mm with the European Investment Bank, and c. 41mn of credit lines Talgo has currently available credit lines of 130 mm, of which undrawn ca. 90mm Maturity Profile - Bank Loans, mm 62 Comfortable bank financing maturity profile (c. 10mm in 2015, and ca. 20 per year in 2016-2019) 9 18 20 20 20 See outlook for net debt position in next page 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 ----------------------- Notes: Financial Net Debt excludes reimbursable advances with Spanish Public Administration entities related with R&D, which are expected to remain constant 11

9. Outlook Following positive performance of Talgo during H1 2015, the company confirms provided guidance: The Future Ahead Net Turnover Expected cumulative backlog completion of c. 30-35% during 2015 and 2016 2015 expected to be in line with company target adjusted by Damman-Riyadh. A potential delay in the sale of Wisconsin trains would push these revenues to 2016 Identified manufacturing contract pipeline of 9.9-13.4bn over the next 4 years EBITDA & EBIT Capex Net Debt Net Profit Dividends Company expects to achieve EBIT target for 2015 with higher than expected margin due to cost savings achieved in fully executed manufacturing projects Adj. EBIT margin for 2016 expected to be in line with historical 2013-14 average Recurring capex in line with historical absolute levels c. 20-35 mm of extraordinary capex over 2015-2016 for (i) finalisation of capacity expansion and (ii) new product development Net financial debt at year end will be in line with guidance previously provided (in line with 2014 level adjusted for MIP and IPO fees) plus the purchase price of Tulpar acquisition ( 23mm paid in June 2015 and 10mm to be paid in 4Q15) and Dammam-Riyadh (net cash 2015 12mn) Company will close 2015 with significant higher reported net income than expected as a result of booking the MIP impact directly against reserves. No impact on tax shield from MIP, which is fully accountable Target dividend pay-out ratio of c.20-30% First dividend starting in 2016 12

10. Closing Remarks We remain confident on the bright future of the company Unique set of technologies that sets us apart from competitors in an attractive market with many opportunities for which Talgo is uniquely positioned,. we continue to deliver best-in-class margins while executing a 3.5bn backlog that includes landmark contracts such as Mecca-Medina, where our relationship with the customer continues to strengthen day-by-day, and we continue to grow our stable maintenance business while working to achieve further growth in both new markets and products, such as Commuter Regional Trains, where we have high expectations for the future ahead 13
