* Liabilities are presented at the closing exchange rate, while variable-rate interest is calculated based on the closing spot rate.
** Others operating debts at more than one year are mainly related to the deferred payments of consideration transferred as part
of business combinations.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on its cash flows from operating activities and on its
investments in foreign subsidiaries. The percentage of sales generated outside the euro currency area
is 72%.
The Group only hedges its exposures on cash flows from operating activities in the main significant
foreign currencies (US dollar, Canadian dollar, pounds sterling and Australian dollar). Its strategy is to
hedge only one year at a time, so the hedging horizon never exceeds 18 months.
The Group first uses natural hedges provided by transactions in the other direction (development costs
in foreign currency offset by royalties from subsidiaries in the same currency). The parent company
uses foreign currency borrowings, forward sales or foreign exchange options to hedge any residual
exposures and non-commercial transactions (such as inter-company loans in foreign currencies).
Derivatives for which documentation on the hedging relationship does not meet the requirements of
IAS 39 are not referred to as hedging instruments in the accounts.
As at March 31, 2012, foreign exchange transactions denominated in US dollars and pounds sterling
meet the cash flow hedging requirements under IAS 39.
Hedging commitments are made by the parent company’s treasury department in France. No hedging
is taken out at subsidiaries in France or abroad.
The fair value of foreign exchange derivatives is confirmed by the banking counterparty. It is estimated
on the basis of market conditions, using the market price which the Group would have to pay to
unwind its positions.
