In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”, goodwill was
tested for impairment on December 31, 2017.
These tests, in accordance with Note 2.2.8.5, were conducted for
each CGU corresponding to the divisions. The combinations of
cash generating units (CGU) are determined in accordance with the
operational reporting and their recoverable values on the basis of
a calculation of utility value. Each utility value is calculated based
on the discounting, at the rates mentioned below, of the forecast
operating cash flows after taxes. The projections of cash flow are
determined based on budget data and the four-year strategic plans
approved by the Board of Directors.
Beyond the fifth year, the terminal value is calculated on the basis
of a capitalization to infinity of the cash flows. The key assumptions
relate in particular to the evolution of sales based on the order book
and the master contracts signed by the Group, if applicable, the
operating profit rate, the renewal capex rate, and the determination
of factors that may affect the working capital. The assumptions are
in particular established on the basis of observations made during
previous activity cycles in the various lines of business, as well as in
external market surveys and the observation of the sensitivity of the
contractual data for the environment of each division. It is specified
that these assumptions are the best estimate possible of the market
situation at the time they were prepared, and that they take into
consideration the market trends for the years 2018 to 2021.
The determination of the infinite growth rate and the discounting
rates used on the different combinations of CGUs was carried out by
an independent expert.
The discounting rates after taxes were used on the basis of an
assessment of the specific risks of these businesses.
