VINCI - 2005 annual report VINCI - 2005 annual report
These estimates assume the operation is a going concern and are made on the basis of the information available at the time. Estimates may be revised if the circumstances on which they were based alter or if new information becomes available. Actual results may be different from these estimates. Revenue The consolidated revenue of the Energies, Roads and Construction business lines represents the total of the work, goods and services produced by the consolidated subsidiaries as their main activity. It includes the Group’s revenue from concession infrastructure shown in the VINCI balance sheet as concession intangible fixed assets. The method for recognising revenue in respect of construction contracts is explained in the note on construction contracts below. The Concession and services business line’s consolidated revenue comprises tolls for the use of road infrastructures operated under concessions, revenue booked by car parks and airport service concessions, and ancillary income such as fees for the use of commercial installations, rental of telecommunication infrastructure and advertising space. In the property sector, revenue arising on lots sold is recognised as the property development proceeds, using the incurred cost method (cost of land, of work, etc.). Revenue from ancillary activities Revenue from ancillary activities comprises rental income, sales of equipment, materials and merchandise, study work and fees other than those generated by concession operators. Construction contracts VINCI recognises construction contract income and expenses using the stage of completion method defined by IAS 11. For the Construction business line, the stage of completion is usually determined on a physical basis. For the other business lines (Roads and Energies), the stage of completion is determined on the basis of the percentage of total costs incurred to date. For construction projects in which VINCI’s share is less than €10 million, it is considered that the profit or loss recognised on the basis of work completed is in line with that determined on a stage of completion basis, other than in exceptional cases. If the estimate of the final outcome of a contract indicates a loss, a provision is made for the loss on completion regardless of the stage of completion, based on the best estimates of income, including any rights to additional revenue or claims if these are probable and can be reliably estimated. Provisions for losses on completion are shown under liabilities. Revenue, including the margin on the construction (profit or loss), realised in the context of concession contracts shown under concession intangible fixed assets is recorded in the income statement using the stage of completion method described above. Part-payments received under construction contracts before the corresponding work has been carried out are recognised under liabilities under advances and payments on account received. 200 VINCI 2005 ANNUAL REPORT Share-based payments The measurement and recognition methods for share subscription and purchase plans and the Plans d’Epargne Groupe – Group Savings Scheme – are defined by IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. The granting of share options and offers to subscribe to the Group Savings Scheme represent a benefit granted to their beneficiaries and therefore constitute supplementary remuneration borne by VINCI. Because such transactions do not give rise to monetary transactions, the benefits granted in this way are recognised as expenses in the period in which the rights are acquired, with a corresponding increase in equity. Benefits are measured on the basis of the fair value of the equity instruments granted. Share subscription option plans Options to subscribe to shares are granted to Group employees and officers. The fair value of the options granted is determined at the grant date using a binomial valuation model, of the “Monte Carlo” type, adjusting for the probability of the vesting conditions of the rights to exercise the option not being met. Group Savings Scheme Under the Group Savings Scheme, the Group issues new shares three times a year reserved for its employees with a subscription price that includes a discount against the average stock market price of the VINCI share during the last 20 business days preceding the authorisation by the Board of Directors. This discount is considered as a benefit granted to the employees; its fair value is determined using a binomial valuation model, of the “Monte Carlo” type, at the date on which the Board of Directors sets the subscription price. As certain restrictions apply to the shares acquired by the employees under these plans regarding their sale or transfer, the fair value of the benefit to the employee takes account of the fact that the shares acquired cannot be freely disposed of for five years. Cost of net financial debt The cost of net financial debt comprises: – the cost of gross financial debt, which includes the interest expense calculated at the effective interest rate, gains and losses on interest rate hedges in respect of gross financial debt, and net changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives that are not used for hedging. – financial income from investments comprises the return on cash investments (interest income, dividends from UCITS, disposal gains and losses, etc.), the impact of interest rate hedges related to these investments and changes in their fair value. Other financial income and expenses Other financial income and expenses mainly comprise foreign exchange gains and losses, the effects of discounting to present value, dividends received from unconsolidated entities, capitalised borrowing costs and changes in the value of derivatives not allocated to interest rate risk management. Borrowing costs borne during the construction of assets are included in the cost of the assets. They are determined as follows: – to the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of constructing an asset, the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation on that asset are the actual borrowing costs incurred during the period less any investment income arising from the temporary investment of those borrowings;
– when borrowing is not intended to finance a specific project, the interest eligible for capitalisation on an asset is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset. This capitalisation rate is equal to the weighted average of the costs of borrowing funds other than those specifically intended for the construction of given assets. Income tax Income tax is computed in accordance with the tax legislation in force in the countries where the income is taxable. In accordance with IAS 12, deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities, using the latest tax rates known. The effects of a change in the tax rate from one period to another are recognised in the income statement in the period in which the change occurs. Deferred tax relating to items recognised directly under equity is also recognised under equity. A deferred tax liability is recognised in respect of the differences relating to shareholdings in equity-accounted or proportionately consolidated entities, unless: – the group can control the date at which the temporary difference will reverse; and – the difference is not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. Net deferred tax is determined on the basis of the tax position of each entity or group of entities included in the tax group under consideration and is shown under assets or liabilities for its net amount per taxable entity. Deferred tax is reviewed at each balance sheet date to take account in particular of the impact of changes in tax law and the prospects for recovery. Deferred tax assets are only recognised if their recovery is probable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Earnings per share Earnings per share (non-diluted) is the net profit for the period after minority interests, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period less treasury shares. In calculating diluted earnings per share, the average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for the dilutive effect of equity instruments issued by the Company, such as convertible bonds and share subscription or purchase options. Intangible assets Intangible assets mainly comprise operating rights, quarrying rights of finite duration and computer software. Purchased intangible fixed assets are recorded in the balance sheet at acquisition cost and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful life. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of the cost of a business combination over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and any contingent liabilities at the date(s) of acquisition, recognised on first consolidation. Goodwill relating to controlled entities is shown under the balance sheet assets under goodwill. Goodwill relating to entities accounted for using the equity method is reported under investments in associates. Goodwill is not amortised but is tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that it may be impaired. Whenever an asset is impaired, the difference between its carrying amount and its recoverable amount is recognised as an operating expense in the period and is not reversible. Negative goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the year of acquisition. Concession intangible fixed assets The costs of concession contracts are shown on a specific line in the balance sheet as concession intangible fixed assets. They are amortised on a straightline basis over the period of the contract, starting at the date of entry into service of the assets. Renewable assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful life. Supplementary depreciation charges are made in respect of renewable assets that are returned for no consideration to the concession grantor, in order to bring their residual value to zero at the end of the contract. Grants related to assets Grants related to assets are presented in the balance sheet as a reduction of the amount of the asset for which they were received. Property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are recorded at their acquisition or production cost less cumulative depreciation and any impairment losses recognised. They are not revalued. Depreciation is generally calculated on a straight-line basis over the period of use of the asset. Accelerated depreciation may however be used when it appears more appropriate to the conditions under which the asset is used. For certain complex assets comprising various components, in particular buildings and constructions, each component of the asset is depreciated over its own period of use. The main periods of use of the various categories of items of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Constructions – structure between 20 and 40 years – general technical installations between 5 and 20 years Site equipment and technical installations between 3 and 12 years Vehicles between 3 and 5 years Fixtures and fittings between 8 and 10 years Office furniture and equipment between 3 and 10 years Depreciation commences as from the asset’s entry into service. 201
