FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Consolidated financial statements

Hedging instruments The Quadient Group hedges its exchange rate risk using over-the-counter derivative instruments contracted with external counterparties. The derivative instruments used by the treasury department in its hedging strategies are as follows: firm derivatives such as forward currency purchases ● and sales; plain vanilla options such as puts and calls; ● second generation options (knock-in or knock-out ● barrier options). Instrument details The instruments in the portfolio have a maturity of less than twelve months as at 31 January 2021. These instruments are listed below by type and by currency for the period to which they relate.

Quadient uses symmetric options tunnels in particular. These option instruments are unlikely to be exercised in a reciprocal manner in terms of the spot exchange rate or expiry date. As a result, for each tunnel only one of the two options is reported in the table above. The value of the commitment in these symmetric options is 20.5 million United States dollars sold, 1.8 million British pounds sold, 1.5 million Canadian dollars sold, 2.0 million Norwegian krona sold, 30.0 million Japanese yen sold, 5.0 million Swedish krona sold, 0.8 million Australian dollars sold, and 75.0 million Czech krona purchased. Quadient also makes use of asymmetric option tunnels. The asymmetric part of this kind of options is presented in the table above with a view to reflecting the Group’s maximum commitment. The asymmetric part by currency is as follows: 18.5 million United States dollars sold.
