As part of its general risk management policy, the Group systematically hedges against transactional foreign currency risks that constitute material risks for the Group as a whole. Centralised management of foreign currency transaction risk is in place with the Group’s main entities (apart from India). Sopra Steria Group acts as the centralising entity, granting exchange rate guarantees to subsidiaries and, after netting internal exposures, hedges the residual exposure through the use of derivatives. Foreign currency risk hedging mainly relates to transactional exposures involving the Group’s production platforms in India and Poland and certain commercial contracts denominated in US dollars. Changes in fair value corresponding to these hedges are taken to profit or loss for invoiced items and to equity for future cash flows. The remeasurement through profit or loss of these financial instruments hedging balance sheet items is balanced by the revaluation of foreign currency receivables over the period.

The fair value of interest rate hedging derivatives is measured using the following assumptions: p level 1: quoted data: 0%; p level 2: observable data: 100%; p level 3: internal models: 0%. 11.5.4.Foreign currency risk The Group is subject to three main types of risks linked to fluctuations in exchange rates: p translation risk in the various financial statements making up the Group’s consolidated financial statements for business conducted in countries with a functional currency other than the euro; p transactional risk linked to purchases and sales of services, where the transaction currency is different from that of the country in which the service is recognised; p financial foreign currency risk arising from the Group’s foreign- currency borrowings (risk arising from changes in the value of the financial debt denominated in sterling).
