The Group measured contracts meeting the “Lease” definition under the meaning of the standard together. The Group has opted for the two accounting exemptions provided by the standard for the following contracts: P short-term leases, i.e. contracts with a duration less than or equal to 12 Ǿ months; P contracts related to low value assets. The discount rate used tomeasure the lease debt corresponds to the Group’s refinancing rate, for each residual contract duration. This rate corresponds to the interest rate that the lessee would be charged to borrow the funds required to purchase a similar asset in respect of the right to use, over a similar duration with a similar guarantee and in a similar economic context. The lease duration corresponds to the non-cancellable period of the lease and includes: P optional renewal periods (when the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise this renewal option); P periods after the possible cancellation date (when the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise this cancellation option).
The Group implemented IFRS Ǿ 16 Leases which replaces IAS Ǿ 17 and all related interpretations (IFRIC Ǿ 4, SIC Ǿ 15, Operating leases – Incentives and SIC Ǿ 27, Evaluating the Substance of Transactions involving the Legal Form of a Lease). It is applicable to financial years starting from 1 Ǿ January Ǿ 2019. The main change introduced by IFRS Ǿ 16 relates to lessee accounting. IFRS Ǿ 16will require lessees to adopt amodel inwhich all leases are reported in the balance sheet; all commitments for the full duration of the contract must be reported on the liabilities side and a usage right to be amortised must be recorded on the assets side. In 2017, the AFD Group began a survey of its real estate assets and IT hardware contracts, which constitute the majority of the Group’s leases. The Group finalised the choice of structuring options related to the standard’s interpretation, collected the required information to allow the data on all of the Group’s leases to be processed and completed the calculation of impacts based on the financial statements to 31 Ǿ December Ǿ 2018 during Q1 2019.
