STATUTORY AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

RECOVERABLE VALUE OF SALES FINANCING RECEIVABLES (RCI)

Risk identified The sales financing activity is managed by RCI Banque with dedicated offers for individuals and companies as well as the financing of dealer networks. RCI Banque sets aside provisions to cover the risk of losses resulting from the inability of its clients to meet their financial commitments. Since January 1, 2018, RCI Banque applies IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", which defines in particular a new methodology for estimating provisions based on a prospective model, moving from a provisioning of ascertained credit losses to a provisioning model for expected losses based on a 3-bucket approach: loans without signs of impairment (bucket 1), loans that have signs of impairment (bucket 2) and loans with serious credit impairment or arreage (bucket 3). We consider the amount of credit loss provisioning as a key point of the audit, due to the size of the amount of customer and network loans in the assets of the Group’s balance sheet, the use of numerous parameters and assumptions in the calculation models and the use of judgment made by management in estimating expected credit losses. The provisions related to IFRS 9 are detailed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements and amounts to 848 M€ for an outstanding amount of 46 222 M€.
