AIRBUS - 2020 Financial Statement

4. Notes to the IFRS Company Financial Statements /

Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent of non-performance by its counterparts with regard to financial instruments or issuers of financial instruments for gross cash investments. However, it has policies in place to avoid concen- trations of credit risk and to ensure that credit risk is limited. As far as central treasury activities are concerned, credit risk resulting from financial instruments is managed by the Company. In order to ensure sufficient diversification, a credit limit system is used. The Company monitors the performance of the individual financial instruments and the impact of market developments on their performance and takes appropriate action on foreseeable adverse development based on pre-defined procedures and escalation levels. Sales of products and services are made to customers after having conducted appropriate internal credit risk assessment. The booked amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The credit quality of financial assets can be assessed by reference to external credit rating (if available) or internal assessment of customers’ creditworthiness by way of internal risk pricing methods. In 2020, the trade receivables, neither past due nor impaired amount to €492 million (in 2019: €32 million). The Company measures loss allowances at an amount that represents credit losses resulting from default events that are possible within the next 12 months, unless the credit risk on

a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, as described in “– Note 37.7: Impairment losses” of the Consolidated Financial Statements. In 2020, an amount of € 224 million of impairment losses on financial assets is recognised in profit and loss (2019: €31 million). For further information relating to gross credit risk and impairment see “– Note 16.7: Impairment Losses”. Values of Financial Instruments Financial instruments— The Company’s financial assets mainly consist of cash, short to medium-term deposits and securities. The Company’s financial liabilities include intragroup liabilities, obligations towards financial institutions and issued bonds. The Company has the same classification and accounting policies as the Group. Please refer to “– Note 38.1: Financial Risk Management” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. The Company classifies its financial assets in one of the following categories: (i) at fair value through OCI, (ii) at fair value through profit and loss and (iii) at amortised cost. Classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. The Company assigns its financial instruments (excluding its at-cost investments, which are outside the scope of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”) into classes based on their category in the Statement of Financial Position. 16.2 Carrying Amounts and Fair
