The foreign exchange rate loss of €(1.6) million is mainly related to fluctuations in the price of the US dollar €(1) million and
the Japanese Yen €(0.5) million.
Foreign exchange risk
The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk stems from operating cash flows and its
investments in foreign subsidiaries.
The Company only hedges its exposures on cash flows from operating activities in the main significant
foreign currencies (US dollar, Canadian dollar and Pound sterling). Its strategy is to hedge only one
year at a time, so the hedging horizon never exceeds 18 months.
The Company first uses natural hedges provided by transactions in other directions (development
costs in a 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).
