NOTE 7

ASSETS RIGHT-OF-USE AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS

IFRS 16 requires the lessees to recognize an asset right-of-use and a lease obligation, without differentiating between operating leases and finance leases. The first application has been done using the simplified retrospective approach, the details concerning the impacts of the first application on the financial statements are exposed in the note 2-1 of 2019 universal registration document. For Quadient, the contracts within the scope of IFRS 16 are mainly real estate leases and car rentals. Quadient applies the exemptions allowed by IFRS 16, in particular to not recognize contracts that cover a

period of less than twelve months and leases for which the underlying asset is of a low value. The application of IFRS 16 to lease contracts on intangible assets is an option that the Group chose not to pursue. In order to assess the residual duration for real estate leases, the Group has made an analysis of its sites, to consider renewals reasonably certain to be exercised. This duration is in general nine years concerning the French contracts. The Group called upon the services of an external company to determine the discount rates to be applied on leases, reflecting the geographical area and the remaining life of the lease.

As of 31 January 2022, the impacts of IFRS 16 application in the income statement, cash flow statement and balance sheet are as follows:
