Note 3 – IAS 19 amendments– Employee benefits

In June 2011, the IASB published amendments to IAS 19 – Employee Benefits concerning the recognition of defined benefit plans. These amendments concern, in particular, elimination of the corridor method of accounting for actuarial gains and losses, the immediate recognition of all past service costs and the use of a single interest rate (market rate for high quality corporate bonds) for calculating the net interest cost of employee benefit obligations.

The revised standard, which applies retrospectively, has had the following impacts:

  • The Group's commitments to its employees are fully recognized at the end of each financial period, as it is no longer possible to amortize past service costs resulting from plan amendments over the remaining work life of the employees concerned;
  • Unamortized past service costs were accounted for in retained earnings, for their value net of tax during the period of application of the revised standard;
  • The effects of any changes in defined benefit plans after January 1, 2012 are recognized directly in income statement in operating profit in the period in which they occur;
  • The expected return on plan assets is set as being equal to the discount rate used to determine the present value of the projected benefit obligations.

  • Consolidated Financial Information September 30, 2013 - 7 -

The different impacts of the revised standard in 2012 can be summarized as follows:

As of January 1, As of september 30, As of December 31,
(in € millions) 2012 2012 2012
Net increase in pension liability (8.9) (8.2) (8.0)
Net increase in deferred tax assets 3.1 2.8 2.7
Net decrease in shareholders' equity (5.8) (5.4) (5.3)
Actuarial gains and losses - 0.8 1.0
Decrease in personnel costs - 0.7 0.9
Increase in financial expenses - (1.2) (1.6)
Deferred tax income - 0.1 0.2
Decrease in net income - (0.4) (0.5)

The impact of these adjustments are not material, therefore no restatements have been made to the 2012 balance sheet and income statement.
