Acquisitions and Disposals

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method, as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Company. The determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and the assumed liabilities which are the basis for the measurement of goodwill requires significant estimates. Land, buildings and equipment are usually independently appraised while marketable securities are valued at market prices. If intangible assets are identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, the Company either consults with an independent external valuation expert or develops the fair value internally, using appropriate valuation techniques which are generally based on a forecast of the total expected future net cash flows. These evaluations are linked closely to the assumptions made by management regarding the future performance of the assets concerned and the discount rate applied. Loss of control, loss of joint control, loss of significant influence — Upon loss of control of a subsidiary, the assets and liabilities and any components of the Company’s equity Acquisitions In 2020, Bombardier transferred its remaining shares in Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (“ACLP”) to Airbus and Investissement Québec (“IQ”). As per the agreement, Airbus acquired an additional 29.64% of the issued shares in ACLP. This agreement brought the shareholdings in ACLP for Airbus and IQ to 75% and 25%, respectively. Airbus paid to Bombardier a consideration of US$591 million of which US$531 million was received at closing and US$60 million to be paid over the 2020-22 period under certain conditions. The agreement also provides for the cancellation of Bombardier warrants owned by Airbus, as well as releasing Bombardier of its future funding capital requirement to ACLP, previously performed through the non-voting participation Class B common units in ACLP. Disposals On 15 December 2021, the Company divested to a 50% joint venture one of its sites in France. The assets relative to this disposal were previously classified as held for sale for an amount of €67 million. 8.1 8.2

related to the subsidiary are derecognised. Any gain or loss arising from the loss of control is recognised within other income or other expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement. If the Company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, such interest is measured at fair value at the date the control is lost. Assets and liabilities of a material subsidiary for which a loss of control is highly probable are classified as assets and liabilities held for sale when the Company has received sufficient evidence that the loss of control will occur in the 12 months after the classification. These assets and liabilities are presented after elimination of intercompany transactions. When the loss of significant influence or the loss of joint control of an investment accounted for under the equity method is highly probable and is expected to occur in the coming 12 months, this associate or joint venture is classified as an asset held for sale. Sale of investment in an associate or joint venture — Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of investment accounted for under the equity method is recognised within share of profit from investments. The call rights of Airbus in respect of all IQ’s interests in ACLP at fair market value have been extended by an additional three years to January 2026. The effect of this equity transaction on the equity attributable to the owners of ACLP amounted to € -53 million. As part of this transaction, Airbus, via its wholly owned subsidiary Stelia Aerospace, also acquired the A220 and A330 work package production capabilities from Bombardier in Saint Laurent, Québec. Under this non-material transaction, the fair value of the net assets acquired amounted to US$ -4 million.
