TOTAL 823,572 11,650 75,691 94,340 79,596 601,487 862,764 (1) Since calls are made by funds depending on their respective investments, and generally within 5 years from the subscription of units, their timing cannot be determined accurately. As a result, the corresponding cash flows have been included in the “N+5 and beyond” category in the table above.
For the calculation at 31 December 2017, the equity figures used are before the appropriation of 2017 income. FFP complied with all covenants at the end of 2017. FFP is a long-term shareholder. Given its debt/asset value ratio, the Company does not foresee any particular difficulties in renewing its existing credit facilities before or on expiry. In its ordinary cash management operations, FFP focuses on security when selecting investments. It only invests in regular money-market UCITS and certificates of deposit issued by top-tier banks. These products do not carry any significant risk of impairment.
None of FFP’s credit facilities are due to expire in 2017. Borrowings may fall due early in the event of a failure to make a repayment or non-compliance with contractual obligations. The main types of covenants related to debt borne directly by FFP are as follows: 1. net debt (parent-company financial statements)/equity (parent- company financial statements) <1; 2. consolidated net debt/value of securities (1) <0.5. These ratios are calculated exactly twice per year, and they are monitored regularly throughout the year. At 31 December 2017, the ratios with the highest values (depending on the definitions used by the banks) were: 1. net debt (parent-company financial statements) / equity (parent- company financial statements) = 0.35; 2. consolidated net debt / value of securities = 0.19.
(1) Value of securities is equal to the FFP group’s Gross Asset Value as determined in the Net Asset Value calculation.
