In 2016, the global economy grew by 2.2% compared with 2.6% in the previous year. The growth momentum was slowed by the weak US economy in the first half of the year coupled with the recession in Russia and Brazil. Growth in the industrialised countries remained sluggish in the year under review, while it stabilised in the emerging economies following a slowdown lasting several years. The US economy grew by 1.6% in 2016 compared with 2.5% in the previous year, with foreign trade mainly bolstering growth. Whereas, investments and private consumption failed to meet expectations. The Eurozone generated moderate growth, with the economy expanding by 1.7% in 2016 compared with 2.0% in 2015. This trend was favoured by the European Central Bank's expansionary monetary policy, continued low oil prices and the depreciation of the euro against other currencies. The economic development in China exceeded expectations in 2016, with growth stabilising at 6.7%. Business activities started to pick up again in the construction, retail and real estate sectors and the weak currency led to a rise in global demand and a higher export volume. The weak economy and oversupply put pressure on oil prices. The EIA averaged the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil at US dollar 43 over the year. At the end of September 2016, the 14 OPEC states agreed on market stabilisation measures aimed at reducing the oversupply and raising the price level.
The aviation industry was influenced by a number of factors in 2016: Political instability dampened growth, which diverged greatly from region to region. Above all on international routes linking Europe and Asia, demand remained sluggish, while the African, US and Eastern European markets recovered. Global passenger traffic increased by 6.3% in 2016. In Asia, demand rose by 8.9%, in North America by 3.2% and in Europe by 3.8%.
Low fares stimulated demand as falling fuel prices and competitive pressure led airlines to reduce ticket prices. Rising passenger numbers prompted airlines to expand their fleets, with the global fleet growing by 5.2% in 2016.
According to the International Air Transport Association IATA, airlines posted record profits in 2016. The industry's net income reached US dollar 35.6 billion, compared with US dollar 35.3 billion in 2015. This is mainly attributable to low oil prices, which according to the EIA are likely to remain at less than US dollar 60 a barrel through 2020. Furthermore, airlines deployed more efficient aircraft and reaped the benefits of the restructuring measures successfully undertaken in the previous years.
In 2016, Airbus and Boeing delivered a total of 1,436 aircraft compared with 1,397 in the previous year. In the same period, Boeing and Airbus sold a total of 1,419 new aircraft, with the book-to-bill ratio amounting to almost 1:1. At 13,442, the order backlog for aircraft seating 100 or more passengers remained at the same level as at year-end 2015.
From today's perspective, traffic volumes in the aviation industry should continue to show stable growth moving forward. According to the latest market forecasts by Airbus and Boeing, traffic volumes are expected to double again over the next 15 years. According to a market analysis of Airbus and Boeing, a total of 36,300 new airliners will be required up to 2035 based on current estimates.
The main factors driving this development include increasing levels of air travel in countries such as China, India, the US and Europe. Flights per capita are expected to quadruple in the growth markets of China and India up to 2035. In the US and Europe, where air travel is already widespread, the frequency of trips is expected to increase by around 20% up to 2035.
The FACC Group, headquartered in Ried im Innkreis, is an Austrian Group, which specialises in the development, production and maintenance of aircraft components.
The company's product range includes "structural components" (body and tail fairings, fan cowls and composite parts for engines, wing components and wingtips) as well as components for the interiors of aircraft (overhead stowage compartments, passenger cabin linings, service units, etc.).
Due to the products' different applications, three operating segments were created. The "Aerostructures" division covers development, manufacture and sales of structural components, the "Interiors" division deals with the development, manufacture and sales of interiors, and the "Engines & Nacelles" division is responsible for the manufacture and sales of engine components. After conclusion of the customer agreements and order processing, the individual orders are manufactured in the five plants of the Group. Apart from these three operating segments, the company includes the central services of finances and controlling, personnel, quality management, purchasing and IT (including engineering services). In the form of a matrix organisation, these central services support the operating segments in the completion of their tasks.
The year under review can be seen as the year in which FACC set the course for the future. At the beginning of 2016, the company's management focused mainly on investigating the Fake President Incident and working through the changes that had been introduced as a result. The absolute priority was to guarantee stability and sustainability, fill all vacant management positions, while at the same time making a concerted effort to push ahead with the implementation of the defined corporate targets. In view of market prospects, several series productions were successfully launched in the year under review, numerous projects were ramped up according to plan across all segments and, as a result, the company was able to achieve revenue growth of over 20%. Based on targeted investments, both the company's capacity and efficiency were further increased. One aspect, which is particularly encouraging considering the circumstances, was the improvement of the Group's earnings, with EBIT adjusted for one-off effects increasing by almost half. Against the backdrop of long-term rising global demand for new aircraft, with the latest long-term market analysis confirming the need for over 36.300 new airliners in the period up to 2035, FACC is expected to have an order backlog in excess of USD 5 billion based on current estimates. Based on current market forecasts and the innovation strategy we have been driving forward, the odds are good that we will be able to further consolidate FACC AG's position as a global tier 1 partner for the aviation industry.

During spot checks carried out by the Austrian Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (FREP), FACC AG's consolidated financial statements as of 29 February, 2016 as well as the company's semi-annual interim reports as of 31 August, 2015 and 31 August, 2016 were selected and subjected to a random review pursuant to section 2 para. 1 no. 2 of the Accounting Control Act (audit without any particular cause). In September 2016, FACC AG was informed that the present audit was going to be carried out by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA).
At the time of publication of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 28 February 2017, the above-mentioned review process had not yet been concluded. We refer to note 2 in the consolidated financial statements.
In the 2016/17 financial year, the FACC Group generated revenues of EUR 705.7 million. This means an increase of EUR 125.5 million or 21.6% compared to the previous year.
Product revenues increased by 24.6% to EUR 646.1 million. In the year under review, the main drivers of product revenues were the Airbus A320 family, the Airbus A350 XWB, the Boeing 737 and 787 aircraft programmes as well as the Bombardier and Embraer business jet programmes. All other programmes, including the supply of a number of components for engines produced by Rolls-Royce und Pratt & Whitney, developed in line with FACC management's plans, contributing to the growth of the Group.
Revenues from the billing of engineering services remained stable at EUR 59.6 million in the period under review.
In the 2016/17 financial year, the costs of materials increased by EUR 66.1 million from EUR 376.9 million to EUR 443.0 million. This growth is related to the significant increase in production revenues by 24.6%. The costs of materials also include expenses for temporary staff totalling EUR 15.6 million (2015/16: EUR 2.8 million). This considerable increase is entirely related to the recruitment of temporary staff in the course of the year under review to manage production peaks in the Interiors segment.
The materials ratio (costs of materials/ revenues) declined by 2.2 percentage points to 62.8% compared to the previous year (2015/16: 65.0%).
1) Due to an error correction according to IAS 8, previous years' figures have been adjusted retrospectively (see note 2).
The Group's personnel costs increased by EUR 14.7 million from EUR 158.5 million to EUR 173.2 million in the 2016/17 financial year. The Group's staff ratio (personnel costs/revenues) fell by 2.8 percentage points to 24.5% compared to the previous year. This decline is the result of ongoing efficiency measures in connection with learning curve effects and increases in production rates in key programmes.
In the year under review, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 26.9 million (2015/16: EUR -58.8 million). In the previous year's EBIT, a loss incurred in relation with the "Fake President Incident" in the amount of EUR 41.9 million is recognised in other operating expenses.
The main objectives of financial management are to ensure that the Group always has access to adequate liquidity, to avoid financial risks, and to guarantee financial flexibility. In order to ensure the company's liquidity and reduce risks, FACC makes use of various internal and external funding sources with differing maturities. Longer-term liquidity forecasts are based on the Group's operational planning. The cash flow from operating activities in the operating segments represents the Group's main source of liquidity. This reduces external borrowing requirements and the associated interest expenses. FACC also makes use of a variety of funding instruments to assure its liquidity, including corporate bonds, promissory note loans, loan agreements with banks and lease arrangements.
The banking policy, procedures for the approval of banking relationships, loan agreements, liquidity and financial asset management, and the management of currency and interest rate risks are set down in the treasury principles. It is a basic principle of the Group that its lines of credit are administered at the corporate level by the treasury department.
For information on the company's capacity to raise funds through authorised and conditional capital increases and on funding sources, please refer to notes 4 b) ii) and 12 to the consolidated financial statements. Through these diverse measures, FACC has created a stable and sustainable basis to meet its future funding requirements.
One of FACC's key performance indicators is free cash flow, which the company determines by combining its cash flow from operating activities with its cash flow from investing activities.

The cash outflow resulting from investing activities in the 2016/17 financial year amounted to EUR -34.4 million compared with EUR -50.9 million in the previous year.
Project investments were mainly driven by development and tooling costs for the Airbus A350-1000, Embraer E2 Jets, Comac C919 Interior aircraft models as well as by investments in the duplication of tools to safeguard future production rates.
Capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment were mainly attributable to the expansion of production capacities increase of EUR 29.3 million compared to the previous year's figure of EUR -9.3 million. The main driver of this positive development was a favourable revenue and earnings development in the year under review.
at the Austrian plant 1 (Ried), plant 2 (St. Martin) and plant 4 (Reichersberg), for the ramp up of new programmes as well as the support of increasing call-up orders within the framework of projects currently underway. In the course of the year under review, new investments were made in production plants for capacity expansion, in additional automation measures, in the optimisation of existing production facilities and infrastructure along with maintenance investments.

In the year under review, non-current assets decreased only slightly by EUR 0.9 million to EUR 352.7 million compared to the balance sheet date as of 29 February 2016.
Group's current assets rose by EUR 16.6 million compared to the previous year. On the one hand, both receivables and inventories rose due to a significant increase in product revenues. On the other hand, cash and cash equivalents declined by EUR 7.9 million to EUR 48.3 million on the balance sheet date as of 28 February 2017.
FACC Group's equity amounted to EUR 284.0 million at the end of the reporting period. This corresponds to an equity ratio of 41.7% (29 February 2016: 40.2%).
Within non-current liabilities, other financial liabilities declined by EUR 7.6 million to EUR 67.6 million. The non-current figure reported for the promissory note decreased by EUR 8.0 million to EUR 34.0 million because of the classification of the "promissory note loan 2012 to 2017" tranche as current liabilities.
Within current liabilities, trade payables declined by EUR 12.9 million to EUR 59.8 million. Other financial liabilities increased by EUR 24.7 million to EUR 46.3 million.
Revenues in the Aerostructures segment amounted to
EUR 331.0 million in the 2016/17 financial year (2015/16: EUR 269.2 million). Revenues from product deliveries increased considerably by EUR 72.7 million or 31.0% to EUR 303.9 million. Revenues from development activities declined by 28.0% from EUR 38.1 million to EUR 27.1 million in the period under review.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the Aerostructures segment stood at EUR 51.2 million in the 2016/17 financial year (2015/16 adjusted for one-off effects: totalling EUR 19.5 million: EUR 27.9 million).
This positive development in the Aerostructures segment was mainly influenced by the increasing demand for components for the Airbus A350 aircraft model and the continued rampup of production rates for the Airbus A320 and Airbus A321 products. New projects such as those for the Bombardier C-Series or the Embrear E2 Jet aircraft models started series production in the year under review, which will lead to further growth of the Aerostructures segment in the coming periods.
Revenues in the Engines & Nacelles segment amounted to EUR 142.0 million in the 2016/17 financial year (2015/16: EUR 113.8 million). This corresponds to an increase of 24.8%. Revenues from product deliveries increased by 25.5% from EUR 105.4 million in the previous year to EUR 133.8 million in the year under review. Revenues from development activities remained stable at EUR 8.2 million in the 2016/17 financial year (2015/16: EUR 8.4 million).
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the Engines and Nacelles segment stood at EUR -11.9 million in the 2016/17 financial year (2015/16 adjusted for one-off effects: totalling EUR 8.2 million: EUR -20.8 million).
The development of the Nacelles segment in the year under review continued to be mainly influenced by the ramp-up of
1) Due to an error correction according to IAS 8, previous years' figures have been adjusted retrospectively (see note 2).
serial production of the A350 Translating Sleeve (TRSL) project. Besides, the segment could profit from the constantly increasing demand for components for aircraft engines for the Airbus A320 neo aircraft family. The first delivery of the new products for the Airbus A330neo aircraft model set an important milestone for the future development of the segment.
In the year under review, the Engine Composites segment continued to develop in a positive manner. Also, in the Engine Composites area, the Airbus A350 Trent XWB and PW800 Bypass Duct projects made a pivotal contribution to the development of the business according to plan.
In the Engines & Nacelles division, the earnings contribution from engine programmes could be further increased. However, the ramp up of the A350 TRSL project within the nacelles programmes had a negative impact on the earnings performance of the division. Temporary additional expenses for personnel to ensure the increase in production rates as well as higher freight costs had a negative impact on the company's earnings development especially in the first half of the year. Thanks to progress with series production and the successful adoption of remedial action, the segment achieved a balanced result at the beginning of the third quarter of 2016.
Revenues in the Interiors segment amounted to EUR 232.8 million in the 2016/17 financial year (2015/16: EUR 197.2 million), as the division was able to once again achieve a considerable increase compared to the previous year. In the year under review, product revenues stood at EUR 208.5 million (2015/16: EUR 183.1 million). This increase of 13.7% is almost entirely attributable to the new Airbus A350 programmes, whereas revenues from existing series programmes such as the A320, Suchoi Superjet 100 and Embraer Phenom 300 as well as Bombardier C350 remained relatively stable. Revenues from the Embraer Legacy 450 und 500 business jet programmes declined slightly.
Revenues from development activities increased by 72.6% to EUR 24.3 million after EUR 14.1 million in the previous year. This increase is mainly attributable to the mastering of the configuration management process with regard to the cabin interiors of the Airbus A350, increased returns on development costs in connection with rising production rates for the Airbus A350 aircraft model as well as engineering services related to the development of new passenger cabin concepts for the Xi'an MA700 aircraft model.
Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in the Interiors segment amounted to EUR -12.4 million in the 2016/17 financial year (2015/16 adjusted for one-off effects: totalling EUR 14.2 million: EUR -23.9 million).
The earnings situation of the Interiors division in the year under review continued to be influenced by the ramp-up of the new Airbus A350 projects. Additional costs especially in the production area were caused by the increase in staffing levels due to the recruitment of temporary staff, whereas production costs in the business jet manufacturing area were reduced, as planned, compared to the previous year.
FACC is exposed to unpredictable situations in its daily business operations, which may have potentially negative effects. In order to be adequately prepared and be able to deal with any such situations appropriately, FACC has established a group-wide risk management system.
The main task of a risk management system is to identify, assess and minimise all risks across all company areas. The aim is to implement both strategic and operative plans and to safeguard the continued existence of the company as a going concern.
The respective risk owner is directly responsible for risk management. The risk management director reports directly to the Management Board, which assumes overall responsibility for risk management.
Within the framework of this risk management system, any occurring or potential risks are continuously monitored, assessed and reported by the respective operating units to the Management Board twice a year, once they have been reviewed by management. Exceptional events are reported immediately to the competent risk owner or risk management director, who decides if the Management Board is to be notified straight away. The Management Board, in turn, reports to the Supervisory Board in its meetings. This ensures that significant risks are detected early on and corresponding measures to avoid or mitigate these risks are put in place.
According to the Management Board, potential risks currently identified are deemed manageable and controllable and, therefore, do not jeopardise the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Based on market observations and analyses, a five-year business plan is created, which defines the basic strategy of the company and is reviewed and approved by the Supervisory Board. The specific business objectives for each financial year are derived from this plan, which is updated on an annual basis.
Short-term market changes pose the biggest risk here. Besides, operational success is also continually jeopardised by external factors, which can often scarcely be influenced.
FACC's management is responsible for implementing policy consistently, while promptly responding to short-term changes in line with the defined corporate strategy. This is to ensure that the company's strategic orientation along with the planned revenue and earnings targets are taken into due consideration.
The company's production sites and plants are constantly maintained and serviced, thus limiting the risk of breakdowns or lengthy production downtimes to a minimum. The business interruption risk is also covered by business interruption insurance with an indemnity period of 24 months.
In this case, risk management falls under the responsibility of the company's treasury department, which reports directly to the Management Board. The treasury department assesses and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the operating business segments. In order to hedge financial risks, the company uses common derivative financial instruments in addition to putting structured operating measures in place.
The interest rate risk – the possible fluctuation in value of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates or future cash flows – arises in connection with medium and long-term receivables and liabilities (especially financial liabilities). In this context, particular care is taken to minimise a large part of the interest rate risk through the use of fixed-rate financial liabilities and common derivate financial instruments.
Sales transactions in the aviation industry are almost exclusively carried out in US dollars (USD). A large part of the expenses is invoiced in US dollars. The remaining expenses are mainly invoiced in euros.
All transaction and currency translation risks are constantly monitored by the treasury department to hedge potential foreign currency risks. In order to reduce the USD risk, 96% of all purchases are currently carried out in USD, thus ensuring a so-called "natural hedging".
Derivative financial instruments (forward foreign exchange contracts) are used to hedge the remaining open USD items (net currency position). The use of derivative financial instruments clearly reduces the risk of exchange rate fluctuations.
FACC's project management is responsible for implementing the objectives defined by the management by way of projects. In this regard, distinctions are made as to whether development responsibility has been assumed or not. Feasibility has to be assessed for each contract and associated risks identified, evaluated as well as closely monitored and analysed during the course of the project in order to initiate and implement appropriate measures, if deemed necessary. The major risks concern the availability of resources of any kind (manpower, equipment, materials, etc.) as well as external factors, which the project team encounters via the company's interfaces or via third parties.
The company pursues a strict credit policy. The creditworthiness of existing customers is constantly monitored, and new customers undergo a credit assessment. In the event of potential defaults, bad debt allowances for trade receivables are recognised, following in-depth assessment of the risk.
The purchasing department regularly carries out risk assessments of the company's suppliers to identify potential threats and risks at an early stage. This is done in order to be able to set the priorities for the planning and the execution of audits and support the decision-making process when awarding new contracts. The selection of new suppliers requires the involvement of the "Procurement Quality Assurance" (PQA) department to make sure that the necessary qualifications and approvals are in place and that there are no identifiable risks. When new projects are launched, suppliers are subject to a mandatory first sample test to minimise product risk. The ongoing quality-compliant and timely delivery of materials and of semi-finished and finished products is assessed via SAP on a regular basis. This evaluation is also integral part of the overall risk assessment. Deviations from the targeted component quality and delivery performance are systematically tracked, analysed, evaluated and benchmarked against defined goals. Noticeable variations are reported to the Management Board following the management reviews.
The products designed and manufactured by the company are intended for installation in aircraft or engines. Defects or malfunctions of the manufactured products may, directly or indirectly, jeopardise the property, health or life of third parties. Long-term safety is therefore a top priority. The company is not in a position to reduce or exclude its liability towards customers, consumers or third parties by way of sales agreements. Each product developed and/or manufactured inhouse, which is supposed to leave the company, is subject to thorough scrutiny with regard to its quality and functionality.
As to projects, for which FACC bears development responsibility, a higher risk exists due to the possibility of construction errors. This can, however, be effectively minimised by acting systematically. Regular controls at all stages of development are intended to mitigate risks early on. Besides, FACC operates an archive system with regard to quality records, which are either contractually stipulated or go beyond contractual obligations on a case-by-case basis. This is to demonstrate
that products were manufactured and services rendered according to defined criteria, while keeping in line with the guidelines approved by both customers and the aviation authority/authorities.
Despite the product liability risk being appropriately hedged, the occurrence of any possible quality problems may negatively affect the company's assets and liabilities, financial position and profit and loss.
FACC is committed to constantly investing in research and development with a view to consolidating the company's relationships with its customers, while opening up new business fields. The main focus lies on proprietary developments, which allow the company to use the expertise acquired in this way for both existing and future customers. Besides, the company also enters into cooperation with customers with a view to further optimising products.
In the 2016/17 financial year, FACC invested EUR 10.0 million or 1.4% of total revenues in fundamental research and advanced development. Besides, the company developed additional orders in collaboration with customers. Expenses incurred in these projects were passed on to development partners.
The consistent focus on technology development provides the basis for commercial success. Increasing competition, especially through competitors in low-income countries, can only be tackled through optimised processes and innovative products.
From a company's perspective, active research represents a basic prerequisite for safeguarding FACC's leading position as a dependable development partner and system supplier for its customers. Since FACC is often required to work with proprietary customer patents and processes, proprietary developments help retain contracts and open up new business fields. With the help of a strong network of customers, subcontractors and scientific partners, FACC develops new technologies to be applied in future serial production contracts.
From a developmental perspective, the year under review achieved very positive results. The Airbus A330 fan cowl doors started series production, while structural components for the COMAC C919 and Embraer E2 aircraft models entered the testing phase. FACC's good market position as winglet manufacturer was further consolidated through new developments for the COMAC C919 and Embraer E2 programmes as well as the Airbus A320neo and A350 aircraft models.
At present, the company's long-term development objectives increasingly focus on automation and the improvement of production processes. In the year under review, new manufacturing processes for high-production volumes were developed, which will continue to guarantee a high capacity utilisation of existing production plants moving forward. Besides, within the framework of an Industry 4.0 initiative, the research & development team is working jointly with the production planning and manufacturing units on a virtual factory concept aimed at optimising material flows and further reducing production times.
The development of a brand-new inspection method for composite components was completed in the year under review. FACC is currently the only company qualified by Boeing in the world to use this new technology in series production. The main advantages of this development by FACC are the significant reduction of inspection times and considerable savings with regard to future investment costs. Further customer qualifications are currently being implemented and will be completed in the coming periods.
FACC strives for the highest degree of independence possible in its process portfolio with a view to safeguarding its technological leadership in the composite area. At the same time, the company seeks to gradually expand its component portfolio to tap into new sales opportunities. Both growth areas are flanked by an extended patent strategy, whose main objective is to guarantee maximum protection of intellectual property.
Over the past year, a total of eleven patent families were registered, which included – among others – new manufacturing technologies, light-weight overhead compartment systems, mechanical linkages and spoiler technologies. At present, FACC owns a total of 53 patent families.
The technology offensive, which FACC has started over the last few years, begins to show the expected positive effects. FACC has established itself as innovative development partner on the market and is viewed as technology benchmark in a number of areas. Technological coordination with key customers takes place on an ongoing basis and within the framework of jointly accomplished projects.
As of 28 February 2017, total headcount amounted to 3,393 employees (FTE). As a result of the strong growth in revenues, the number of employees increased by 11% compared to the previous year. The number of white collars rose slightly by 5%, while the number of blue collars increased by 14%.
In Austria, 3,171.1 FTE were working for the company as of 28 February 2017. This corresponds to 93% of the entire workforce, with the proportion of women amounting to 22.2%.

With a view to safeguarding the required ramp-up of series production for several projects, a leasing workforce of up to 320 FTE was recruited in the production area in the 2016/17 financial year. As of 28 February 2017, FACC AG's temporary staff declined to 103 FTE.
The international nature of the company is also reflected in its personnel structure. The employees working at the Austrian sites come from over 38 different countries and every continent. 56% of the workforce have Austrian citizenship and 22% are German nationals.
In order to increase the company's attractiveness as an employer as well as improve staff retention, FACC also continued to consistently implement its extensive employer-branding strategy in the year under review. With its "Healthy & Satisfied" project, FACC put in place an additional set of measures aimed at improving employees' motivation. For its commitment to workplace health promotion, the company received the seal of quality in February 2017.
As in previous years, further education and vocational training for staff members were a focus of personnel management measures in the year under review. Therefore, extensive development programmes were implemented within the scope of the FACC Academy, which bundles all Group's vocational training measures under the same roof.
In addition to the continued vocational training of existing employees, the further education of new staff members has always been a top priority at FACC with the objective of guaranteeing that employees' skills and qualifications meet the high requirements of the aviation industry. A total of 604 training courses with 6,370 participants were held in the 2016/17 financial year.
With a view to anchoring FACC's core values such as "performance", "success", "appreciation" and "team spirit" within the company in the long term, the "FACC Leonardo Award" was presented in the period under review for the third year in a row. This prize rewards outstanding team achievements aimed at implementing the company's corporate values or other corporate projects. Following a multi-stage selection process, this award was granted in November 2016.
The award-winning team developed a completely new NDI thermographic inspection method for composite components, which is the only one of its kind in the world in a cost-efficient and time-saving manner. This new inspection method checks whether or not composite components contain any embedded foreign materials and whether or not they are bonded correctly. FACC was the only supplier in the global aviation industry to receive Boeing's qualification for this method and therefore to use it in production. Thanks to this new system, inspection times for complex components could be significantly reduced.
Last but not least, special emphasis continues to be placed on apprentice training at FACC. In the 2016/17 financial year, a total of 42 apprentices were working for the company in the area of plastics technology (26 apprentices), metal technology (1 apprentice), construction (13 apprentices) IT technology (1 apprentice) and IT computer science (1 apprentice). The high quality of FACC's apprentice training was also confirmed by the excellent results achieved by the company's apprentices in the apprentice competition organised by the Chamber of Commerce of Upper Austria for commercial and technical professions in 2016. Of 757 apprentices from 97 Upper-Austrian companies, numerous members of the FACC Future Teams secured once again top positions. In the category "plastics technology" FACC celebrated a triple victory, in the category "construction" the company ranked second and third. In the special category "women in engineering" the company won the first two places. For its commitment to apprentice training, FACC once again received the INEO award for providing exemplary apprenticeships in 2016.
Since FACC was founded in 1989, the development of the company has been marked by continued growth, which significantly gathered momentum between 2011 and 2015. However, the consumption of both energy and resources did not match this trend. Thanks to a wide range of measures, the development of energy consumption at FACC has been considerably flatter than the overall operating performance of the company. In concrete terms, energy efficiency at FACC plants increased at an annual rate of 10% between 2010 and 2014 and by 7% in 2015. These are peak values, which have been achieved through a set of measures such as energy monitoring, the deployment of control technology and the central monitoring of building technology.
Thanks to targeted energy efficiency measures, energy efficiency could be improved by 12.1% in the 2016/17 financial year. With this peak value, the already very good results in recent years were exceeded. Energy consumption could be reduced by 44.92% compared to 2010.
Concrete measures in this regard include the consistent use of heat recover systems, the optimisation of plants' capacity utilisation as well as the reduction of operating temperatures at the supply level.
In the current 2017/18 financial year, these measures will continue to be implemented and the company will also switch to LED lighting systems.
An environmental management system based on ISO 14001 has been successfully introduced by the company and it is constantly adapted to ongoing changes such as new technologies and new legal requirements.
With a view to meeting legal requirements in terms of environment, occupational safety and energy, the company's current legal management system has been expanded to include system support.
The achievement of the company's environmental targets and the implementation of the corporate environmental programme of FACC are supported by an effective key figure system, which provides the basis for the management assessment of the environmental area.
A sustainable waste management system provides the basis for reducing the impact on the environment. This is why FACC strives for continuous improvements. One of the most recent accomplishments in this regard is the recycling of solvents, which represent a considerable part of waste materials in the production area. Currently, the company is focusing on a pilot project, which aims to ensure that solvent-soaked rags can be reused. In future, these rags will no longer be disposed of at a great expense but, thanks to a special washing process, they will be simply reused.
FACC AG does not operate any branches.
Pursuant to Sec. 243a Para. 2 of the Austrian Company Code (UGB), FACC AG is required to describe the key features of the internal control and risk management system with regard to the accounting process. Pursuant to Sec. 82 of the Austrian Stock Corporations Act (AktG), the Management Board of FACC AG has to ensure the establishment of an accounting and internal control system that complies with the company's requirements. Thus, the Management Board of FACC AG bears full responsibility for the implementation of an adequate internal control and risk management system with regard to the accounting process.
The key features of the risk management and internal control systems are laid down in the FACC AG's risk management manual. This manual describes and identifies key finance and controlling processes and their associated risks.
The accounting-related internal control system is designed to guarantee timely, uniform and correct recording of all business processes and transactions, while ensuring that well-founded statements about the company's current business situation can be made at all times.
A comprehensive set of measures and rules includes, amongst others, the separation of functions, the dual control principle, rules governing authorised signatories, joint signatory powers for authorizing payments only, which are restricted to a small number of persons, as well as system-supported checks by the EDP-software in use (SAP).
For more than 10 years, FACC has used SAP in almost all areas across the company. The regularity of the SAP systems has been achieved in all relevant business processes.
In the course of monthly reporting to the Management Board and the second-level management, a comparison was made between actual and budgeted figures. During its quarterly meetings, the Supervisory Board of FACC AG was informed about business performance and forecasts regarding the Group's further course of business. In its meetings, the Audit Committee dealt, amongst others, with topics such as the internal control system, risk management and measures to mitigate internal control risks.
Within the framework of the budgeting process, budget costs are planned for each individual cost centre. Every cost centre manager is responsible for keeping in line with the budgeted costs and planned investments. All investment plans are subject to prior approval by the Management Board. Investments running over budget are also subject to prior approval by the Supervisory Board.
With regard to IT security, measures relating to authorisation concepts, separation of functions and system security were designed and implemented.
In connection with the growing threat potential arising from cybercrime and the loss incurred in the 2015/16 financial year in relation with the "Fake President Incident", FACC AG decided to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the company's internal control system and other key corporate process starting from January 2016, i.e. immediately after the loss was assessed. Besides, further improvement processes and control measures were put in place. The initiated improvement activities focused on the following areas:
(accounting, controlling and treasury).

The growth trend in the civil aviation industry is expected to continue moving forward. According to the market analysis of the major OEMs, passenger volumes will show a constant annual growth rate of roughly 5%. Over the next two decades, the global aircraft fleet, which currently amounts to 21,000 large commercial aircraft (source: market outlook Airbus/Boeing 2016), will more than double to roughly 42,500 units by 2035. At the same time, 14,800 airliners from the existing fleet will reach the end of their service life and be replaced by modern aircraft models. Based on these estimates, a total of 36,300 new airliners will be required over the next 20 years.
However, a significant shift to the new growth markets of China and India is also expected moving forward. Traffic volumes (flights per year and per capita) are expected to quadruple in these markets up to 2035. In the US and Europe, where air travel is already widespread, the frequency of trips is expected to increase by an additional 20%. Last year, Airbus and Boeing together delivered 1,436 new aircraft to their customers. In the same period, a total of 1,419 aircraft were sold to airlines, with the book-to-bill ratio thus amounting to almost 1:1.

Moving forward, FACC will continue to pursue a sales target of one billion euros for the 2020/2021 financial year in line with the company's "Vision 2020". For the coming years, the company expects to gradually increase the production rates of its most important programmes. Thanks to FACC's balanced and modern product and customer portfolio, the company can profit from the general growth trend currently underway in almost all aircraft families. From today's perspective, the company expects a moderate growth in revenues for the 2017/18 financial year.
The MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) market, and more specifically the maintenance and repair of composite systems, represent a business field with high potential, with composite materials accounting for an ever-increasing proportion of new aircraft components. Based on its extensive experience in the development and manufacture of composite systems, moving forward, FACC is pursuing the ultimate objective of increasingly providing repair and maintenance services to airlines in addition to its core business.
Besides, the management will continue to focus on strengthening the company's earnings power over the long term. Initiatives aimed at increasing the degree of automation, raising productivity and outsourcing the production of simple composite parts to the supply chain should contribute to further strengthening the Group's profitability.
In summary, the FACC Group will continue to strengthen its business activities, ranging from development, manufacturing through to global supply chain management, while further expanding its role as a preferred partner of the aviation industry. The implementation of the "Vision 2020" strategy, especially when it comes to consolidating and expanding the company's standing as a Tier 1 supplier of customers such as Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer and all renowned engine manufacturers, is a top priority.

The FACC Group with headquarters in Ried im Innkreis is an Austrian enterprise involved in the development, production and maintenance of aeronautical components. Its primary fields of activity include the production of structural components such as parts of engine cowlings, wing claddings or control surfaces, and the production of interior fittings in modern commercial aircraft. The majority of the components are manufactured from composite materials. The Group also integrates metallic components made of titanium, high-alloyed steels and other metals into these composite components, and delivers the ready-to-install components to the manufacturer's assembly lines.
FACC AG has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the prime market exchange segment (commercial trade) since 25 June 2014.
The consolidated companies in the FACC Group on 28 February 2017 remain unchanged from the consolidated companies in the Consolidated Financial Statements of 29 February 2016.
FACC AG is part of the consolidated companies of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China with headquarters in Beijing (Building 19, A5, Shuguang Xili, Chaoyang District, Beijing), commercial registration number 91110000710935732K.
In the course of a random sampling inspection by the Austrian Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (OePR) the FACC AG Consolidated Financial Statements of 29 February 2016 together with the half-year financial statements of 31 August 2015 and 31 August 2016 were selected for audit in accordance with section 2 par. 1, line 2 of the Financial Reporting Enforcement Act (audit without a particular cause). In September 2016, FACC AG was informed by the Financial Market Authority (FMA) that it would conduct these proceedings itself.
At the time of publication of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of 28 February 2017, these proceedings had not been concluded. The following errors have been corrected in accordance with IAS 8.42.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of 28 February 2015 and 29 February 2016 recorded trade receivables and receivables from construction contracts. In several cases, FACC was involved in ongoing negotiations with several customers regarding contract interpretations and the amount of additional invoiced sums.
Due to the FACC Group's interpretation of the contract, receivables from these customers were recorded on the basis of the negotiation results.
According to IAS 18.18, IAS 11.13 or IAS 11.14, a sufficient probability of an inflow of economic benefits is a necessary prerequisite for recording receivables or revenue. The fulfillment of these prerequisites was assessed with regard to the existence of written declarations of the customer or other legally binding agreements.
The recognition of receivables or the reduction of revenue had to be corrected for these cases according to IAS 18.9, IAS 11.12 or IAS 39.9.
The following considerations lead to the conclusion that these are presentations in the financial statements of the respective previous periods, which are based on a different evaluation of the information available on the respective financial statement dates.
In the present Consolidated Financial Statements, trade receivables were reduced by kEUR 5,597 and receivables from construction contracts were reduced by kEUR 7,542 on 1 March 2015 (28 February 2015). In the Consolidated Financial Statements on 29 February 2016, trade receivables (accumulated) were reduced by kEUR 14,496, receivables from construction contracts were reduced by kEUR 8,391.
In the fiscal year 2015/16 support measures in the FACC manufacturing process were carried out by third parties. No provision, however, was recognised for the remuneration of these measures although they already constituted a current obligation according to IAS 37. A provision in the amount of kEUR 2,965 was therefore recognised in the fiscal year 2015/16 under the item "other operating expenses" according to IAS 37.14.
Based on past estimates, FACC has hitherto discounted non-current or overdue customer receivables on a case-bycase basis only.
Discounting of overdue receivables was corrected according to IAS 39.43, 39.58 and 39.AG8 as well as FRS 7.37. The applicable interest rate was determined according to IAS 39.43 in connection with IAS 18.11 and IFRS 13.
Recording present discounting led to write-downs of trade receivables amounting to kEUR 284 on 1 March 2015 (28 February 2015) and write-downs amounting to kEUR 1,309 on 29 February 2016. Thus in the fiscal year 2015/16 financial expenses of kEUR 1,025 were recorded.
Impairment testing of development projects hitherto took place on the segment level. In order to comply with IAS 36.6, 36.14, 36.22 and 36.66-70 in the course of impairment testing, a lower aggregation level than was hitherto necessary was stipulated for the cash-generating unit in the fiscal year 2016/17. This aggregation level is based on development projects and was aggregated, in the case of development projects relating to the same type of aircraft, on a case-by-case basis. Impairment testing at this lower level of aggregation cannot be done retrospectively for periods preceding the reference year. This is due to the fact that a database is lacking for the allocation of cash outflows at this lower level of aggregation. Reproducing this database ex post is no longer possible or would involve excessive estimations, which does not lead to reliable information. Impairment testing was therefore first applied to the 2015/16 fiscal year according to the new procedure. Taking this procedure into account leads to impairment expenses in the amount of kEUR 20,200 in the case of intangible assets (development costs) and kEUR 3,514 in the case of property, plant and equipment (tools).
The correction according to IAS 8.42 led to an adjustment of the deferred taxes. This was essentially due to changes in the temporary differences concerning development costs and to an increase of deferred tax assets applied to tax loss carry forwards. On 1 March 2015, the surplus of deferred tax liabilities turned into a surplus of deferred tax assets. Offsetting was permissible as the deferred tax receivables and liabilities refer to income taxes which are levied by the same tax authorities. The correction led to an increase of the deferred tax asset surplus on 29 February 2016.

The essential accounting and valuation policies applied when creating these Consolidated Financial Statements are described in the following. The described policies were applied consistently to the presented reporting periods.
The Consolidated Financial Statements as of 28 February 2017 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations of the IFRS IC as applicable in the EU, and in accordance with the statutory regulations of section 245a of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) that were measured at fair value. In the balance sheet disclosure, a distinction is made between non-current and current assets and liabilities, which are explained according to their maturity in the Appendix. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income is structured in accordance with the total cost method.
Compiling Consolidated Financial Statements in compliance with the IFRS requires estimates. Furthermore, application of the company-wide accounting and valuation methods requires valuations from the management. Areas with a higher margin of discretion or a higher level of complexity or areas in which assumptions and estimates are significant for the Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in note 3 b).
Amounts have been rounded for the sake of clarity and, if specified, are indicated in thousands of euros.
The following new or amended standards and interpretations were applied for the first time in the 2016/17 fiscal year, but did not result in any significant effects on the Consolidated Financial Statements:

Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards which are not yet effective and have not been applied prematurely by the Group
There are new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations which must be applied to future fiscal years. These have not been applied in these financial statements. With the exception of the following standards, no significant effects on the company are expected from the future application of these regulations.
IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments" pertains to the classification, recognition and evaluation of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9, which was developed in multiple project phases, was published by the IASB in July 2014. IFRS 9 replaces the regulations in IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" which pertains to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 maintains the mixed evaluation model with simplifications and creates three evaluation categories for financial assets: amortised cost carrying amount, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The categorisation is based on the business model of the company and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial assets. Investments in equity instruments are, in principle, subject to compulsory evaluation at FVTPL. At the outset, however, there is an irrevocable right to choose to report changes in the attributed fair value in other comprehensive income/loss. Furthermore, IFRS 9 introduces a new depreciation model on the basis of expected losses which replaces the model in IAS 39 which is based on incurred losses. With respect to the categorisation and valuation of financial liabilities, IFRS 9 only includes amendments pertaining to liabilities designated FVTPL. As a novelty, IFRS 9 requires changes in own credit risks to be recorded in other comprehensive income/loss. IFRS 9 also makes measuring hedge effectiveness easier since, in accordance with IFRS 9, the quantitative effectiveness test no longer applies. A financial correlation between the secured underlying transaction and the hedging instrument is required. In addition, the hedging relationship must correspond with that which the company management actually utilises for the purposes of risk management. Simultaneous documentation is also required in accordance with IFRS 9, but is different from the current documentation created in accordance with IAS 39. The IASB prescribes an initial, compulsory application of IFRS 9 for reporting periods that start on or after 1 January 2018. The Group is currently analysing the complete effects of the application of IFRS 9. Currently, the Group estimates that IFRS 9 will primarily effect the categorisation of financial assets (trade receivables and receivables from finance leasing amongst others) and their valuation. The change to the expected credit loss model will result in write-downs on receivables to be recorded earlier. The modification of IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures" due to IFRS 9 will result in modified or extended notes disclosures.
IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" regulates revenue recognition and standardised principles intended to provide the financial statement addressees with decision-making information regarding the type, amount, provisions and uncertainties of revenue. In accordance with IFRS 15, revenues must be recorded when the customer obtains the power of disposition over contractual goods and services and can benefit from them. The new standard for recognising revenue replaces the current regulations of IAS 18 "Revenue" and IAS 11 "Construction Contracts" and corresponding interpretations. The IASB has decided the compulsory initial application to fiscal years that start on or after 1 January 2018.
No significant effects on the recognition of revenue are expected from the sale of serial products. Some contracts are multi-element arrangements which, in addition to the sale of serial products, also contain additional performance obligations. According to IFRS 15, goods and services in exchange for consideration are allocated to the components according to the individual transaction prices, and are recognised as revenue upon fulfillment of the performance obligations. As concerns the revenue recognition of research and development services, the new criteria for period-specific revenue recognition must in future be assessed for each project with due regard to the contractual design.
FACC is active in the supply industry of aeronautical components and offers services related to this industry. The selling of goods and related spare parts and services is regulated either by individual contracts, or by contracts encompassing a bundle of goods and services. If a contract regulates the supply of goods only, revenue is still recognised at a specific point in time. With contracts which, in addition to the supply of goods, also regulate the supply of services, the Group expects changes to revenue recognition due to the new regulations of IFRS 15. Changes are expected to the extent that goods and services in exchange for consideration are now allocated to the individual components on the basis of individual relative transaction prices and that the recognition of revenue resulting from these contracts can be distributed in future over time differently.
Management also currently estimates that changes can occur to construction contracts recognised according to the completed contract method to the extent that the profit margin of these contracts is recognised over time, and is no longer fully recognised at a point in time upon completion of the contract. This would have an early effect on comprehensive income.
Parallel to the complete analysis of the effects, internal processes are adjusted in connection with the application of IFRS 15. Especially regulations regarding changes to contracts and multi-component transactions will be relevant to the FACC Group. Furthermore, extended notes disclosures regarding the recognition of revenue will have to be fulfilled.
IFRS 16 "Leasing Contracts" contains regulations regarding recognition, valuation, disclosure and notes disclosures of leasing contracts. The new leasing standard is to be applied to fiscal years beginning on 1 January, 2019 or after and replaces the previous IAS 17 regulations. Currently, payment obligations resulting from leasing contracts are only to be disclosed in the annex. In the future, rights and obligations resulting from these leasing contracts must be reported in the balance sheet as assets (right to use the leased object) and liabilities (leasing liabilities). The Group expects a substantial increase in the balance sheet to arise from this change upon initial adoption. Moreover, further reference is made to note 33 regarding the future volume of leasing services contracted by the lessee to be reported in the balance sheet. Furthermore, extended notes disclosures in accordance with the IFRS 16 regulations will have to be fulfilled.
There are no further standards, changes to standards or interpretations not yet subject to compulsory application and which might have a significant effect on the Group.
When preparing the financial statements, assumptions were made and estimates applied which impacted on the amounts of the reported assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Such assumptions and estimates may result in a significant adjustment to assets and liabilities in the coming fiscal years.
Assumptions and estimates are audited continuously and are based on experiences from the past and other factors, such as expectations regarding future income, which appear reasonable under the circumstances. The resultant accounting assumptions do not necessarily correspond to the actual income. Such assumptions and estimates, which might lead to significant adjustments to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the following fiscal year, are discussed below.
Obligations towards employees primarily include retirement benefit obligations and provisions for termination benefits. The obligations towards employees are determined at the present value of the expected future cash outflows based on interest rates determined at the end of the reporting period, taking market yields into account, on the basis of commercial bonds with the highest credit rating, in the currency of the amounts disbursed and which indicate the terms corresponding to the obligations.
Independent actuarial appraisers were employed by management to perform a complete evaluation of the expected obligations towards employees, which must be disclosed and recorded in the financial statement in accordance with IFRS provisions.
Such actuarial appraisers apply assumptions and estimates supplied by management. They evaluate and update these assumptions at least once a year. The ability to make judgments is required when defining the essential actuarial assumptions for determining the cash value of performance-orientated obligations and service costs. Changes to the essential actuarial assumptions can significantly impact on the cash value of the expected obligations and service costs in future periods. A potentially volatile parameter is the discount factor. An increase in discounting of 0.25 percentage points would result in a reduction of the cash value of the performance-orientated obligations by kEUR 307 (29 February 2016: kEUR 144). A reduction of the discount factor of 0.25 percentage points would result in an increase of the cash value of the performance-orientatedobligations by kEUR 322 (29 February 2016: kEUR 153).
Reference is also made to note 17 regarding the carrying amounts of the reported obligations towards employees on 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
Non-current trade receivables are discounted at a matched maturity interest rate, for which assumptions are needed, on the relevant balance sheet date (see notes to IAS 8).
In the reporting period 2015/2016 the Group suffered an unlawful outflow of liquid assets amounting to kEUR 52,847 as a result of fraudulent activities organised externally and known as the fake president incident. Action was immediately taken which enabled a sum of kEUR 10,860 in recipient accounts to be blocked. This sum was balanced on 28 February 2017 and on 29 February 2016 as a non-current receivable (please refer to note 9) since the subsidiary FACC Operations GmbH assumes it is the lawful owner of the money, and having sought legal advice that the sum will be remitted. It is to be expected that those sums blocked in recipient accounts will not be refunded in the immediate future.
In addition, in the reporting period 2016/2017 the Management Board sought the services of a law firm which since then has been making intensive efforts to recover the frozen funds. Moreover, a variety of measures have been adopted in consultation with the Chinese proprietor to ensure that the funds are returned promptly.
The number of deliverable shipsets is used as the basis for calculating the amortisation of capitalised development costs. This number of shipsets constitutes an assumption based on a substantiated investigative process (see point 3 d) iii) development costs). If the assumed number of shipsets were increased by 10%, this would result in a reduction of the amortisation of kEUR 613 (29 February 2016) and kEUR 814 (28 February 2017). If the assumed number of shipsets were reduced by 10%, this would result in an increase of the amortisation of kEUR 751 (29 February 2016) and kEUR 845 (28 February 2017). Particular reference is made to note 6 with regard to the asset values of development costs entered in the balance sheet of 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
For inventory purposes slow-moving items are categorised according to their product group, and evaluated using specific deductions. Slow-moving items are identified in the system as materials demonstrating a storage period of more than 24 months. Particular reference is made to note 9 regarding the asset values of the inventory entered in the balance sheet on 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
In addition to a standardised evaluation of receivables based on empirical values of the period overdue, in the case of an individual value adjustment the probability of incoming payments is evaluated, whereby particular consideration is given to past experience of the customers, their credit rating and possible securities. Write-downs and discounting of receivables are disclosed in the notes 10 and in the details of IAS 8. Irrecoverable receivables are written off.
A construction order in accordance with IAS 11 is a contract for the customer-specific production (development) of an asset. Contract costs are recorded as an expense during the period in which they are incurred. Since the results of a construction order cannot be reliably determined on a regular basis, the construction revenue is only recorded to the extent the incurred construction costs can likely be demanded from the customer. No partial profit recognition is performed due to this management estimate. Total profits are in principle recognised upon completion of the construction contract. The valuation of contract revenue is also influenced by various uncertain events depending on future events, and is thus subject to substantial estimation. This can lead to adjustments after events have taken place or uncertainties have been resolved.
Reference is made to note 10 regarding the carrying amount of the receivables from construction contracts reported on 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
When assessing depreciations and amortisations, assumptions must be made, in particular with respect to the following: (1) circumstances that indicate that the respective assets may not be of value; (2) coverage of the carrying amount of an asset by the attainable amount based on the present value of future cash flows; and (3) appropriate, essential assumptions for the creation of cash flow projections, including an appropriate, applicable discount rate.
Further reference is made to note 34 regarding the assumptions and estimates used for the impairment test of the goodwill. If the discount rate employed increased by 50 base points on the balance sheet date, no additional impairment would be necessary. The Group applies the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as the discount rate, whereby this interest rate was assumed at 7.44% on 28 February 2017 and 7.55% on 29 February 2016.
A change in the estimated EUR/USD exchange rate in the evaluation model by 5 cents (plus or minus) would not result in a need for impairment in the Engines & Nacelles and Aerostructures divisions, but would result in a need for impairment in the Interior division in the amount of kEUR 18,473. The EUR/USD exchange rate used in the valuation model is EUR/USD 1.15. A change to the planned EBIT margin of –2.0 percentage points would not result in any need for impairment in the Engines & Nacelles and Aerostructures divisions, while the Interiors division would require an impairment of kEUR 34,460.
The value in use of the Interiors division exceeds the carrying amount by kEUR 33,244 on 28 February 2017 (29 February 2016: 61,493 kEUR).
The carrying amount of the Interior cash generating unit would be equal to the value in use if the EUR/USD exchange rate decreased by 3.2 cent (2015/16: 6.8 cent), the EBIT margin changed by 98 percentage points (2015/16: 2.02%) or the discount rate increased by 115 base points (2015/16: 198 base points).
In the fiscal year 2016/17, the impairment test of capitalised development projects was, unlike the previous year, carried out at the level of individual projects or interconnected projects to the extent that they generate independent cash flows. All development projects which are not subject to scheduled amortisation on the balance sheet date, or which are expected to incur losses in the multi-year plan were subject to an impairment test. Development projects pertaining to the same type of aircraft were jointly tested for impairment.
The recoverable amount of the development costs was estimated on the basis of the present value of future cash flows which can likely be achieved with the respective development projects (value in use). The cash flows are discounted with a WACC (net of tax) of 7.44%. Estimation of the cash flows is based on the budget approved by the Supervisory Board for the following fiscal year and mediumterm planning of the next 5 years (detailed planning period). For specific development projects extending beyond the detailed planning period, the planning premises of the previous planning year will be continued, limited by the rates of the airline monitor. The maximum term is 20 years.
These values in use are compared to the carrying amount of capitalised development costs as well as assets attributable to the respective development project on the balance sheet date. An impairment requirement for capitalised research and development costs of kEUR 883 (29 February 2016: kEUR 20,200) was established by this assessment on the balance sheet date of 28 February 2017, and was posted under the item depreciation and amortisation to profit or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Increasing the discount rate applied to development projects which have not yet been amortised as planned, and all development projects which are expected to incur losses in the multi-year plan on the balance sheet date by 50 base points, would not lead to an additional aggregate impairment requirement. When assessing the additional impairment requirement due to variations in the discount rate, development projects pertaining to the same type of aircraft were aggregated in line with impairment testing.
Decreasing the free cash flows of development projects which are not subject to scheduled amortisation on the balance sheet date, and all other development projects which are expected to incur losses in the multi-year plan on the balance sheet date by 10%, would not lead to an additional aggregate impairment requirement. When assessing the additional impairment requirement due to variations in the free cash flows, research and development projects pertaining to the same type of aircraft were aggregated in line with impairment testing.
Warranty provisions are raised by the divisions according to a standardised process. Such risks are calculated by the heads of division at each financial statement date and are reported to Financial Accounting. The risks reported by the heads of division are subject to a final assessment by the CEO and must be finally taken into consideration as risks by Financial Accounting. In the case of a risk to be taken into account, the respective division must estimate the recognised provisions as accurately as possible on the basis of past experiences and individual assessments.
Determining provisions for pending losses from contracts (construction contracts and serial orders) is to a considerable degree dependent on estimates. FACC AG only establishes provisions for pending losses from contracts if the expected construction costs exceed the expected construction revenue. Contracts inducing losses are identified by FACC AG by regularly monitoring and updating the expected construction costs. This requires the substantial use of estimates in order to fulfill certain performance requirements, develop learning curves and estimate warranty expenses. The question whether individual customer agreements can be viewed as a binding contract, or whether there are pending losses is addressed in detail on the basis of the chronological sequence, substantive connection and mutual interdependency of the associated cash flows. Two contracts have been qualified as a contract for assessing pending losses on the basis of this assessment. Due to this qualification, no pending losses were identified.
This approach is the subject of the current Enforcement Procedure, a final assessment by the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) is not yet available. If the final assessment of the supervisory authority ran counter to the accounting methods of FACC AG, the provisions for pending losses would have to be adjusted retroactively by EUR 25 million based on the estimates of 29 February 2016, and provisions would increase to EUR 27 million based on the estimates of 28 February 2017.
The usage duration of group property, plant and equipment is the period during which it is available to the Group for use. The usage duration is estimated based on the management's experience. Regular audits by the management can impact depreciation and thus the future depreciation expense. Reference is made to note 7 regarding the property, plant and equipment on 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
All derivatives are reported at the attributed fair value. Profits and losses resulting from changes to the attributed fair value are recorded depending whether they were designed as a hedging instrument in accordance with IAS 39 and qualify for reporting as a hedging relationship. If derivative financial instruments concluded by the Group fulfill the conditions for reporting a hedge on cash flows, changes to their attributed fair value shall be entered as reserves for cash flow hedges in equity. If derivative financial instruments concluded by the Group do not fulfill the conditions for reporting a hedge on cash flows or reporting as hedging relationships is not applied, changes to their attributed fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) shall be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. For the preparation of the financial statements of derivative financial instruments, the company in any case starts from the premise that the planned cash flows are actually realised. The sensitivity analysis with respect to derivative financial instruments is included in the explanation below 4 b) i). Particular reference is made to note 15 regarding the carrying amounts of the derivative financial instruments on 28 February, 2017 and 29 February, 2016.
The annual financial statements from subsidiaries included in the Consolidated Financial Statement were prepared on the uniform Consolidated Financial Statements date 29 February 2016 and 28 February 2017, and in accordance with IFRS as applied in the EU. The individual financial statements of FACC AG and its subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements whilst taking the accounting and valuation methods applicable to the entire Group into account.
Subsidiaries are all companies controlled by the Group. The Group controls a portfolio company if it has the power of disposition over the portfolio company, there is a risk burden due to or there are entitlements to fluctuating yields from its involvement in the portfolio company and the Group has the ability to utilise its power of disposition over the portfolio company in such a manner that impacts the amount of the yield of the portfolio company.
Subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the time at which control was transferred to the Group as part of the full consolidation. They will be deconsolidated at the time at which control ends; the consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the income and expenses of the subsidiaries up to that time.
All Group companies are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements within the framework of full consolidation.
The consolidated companies are defined on the basis of the principles of IFRS 10. The Group has the following subsidiaries as of 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016:
| Issued and fully paid | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company | Headquarters | nominal capital | Direct share | Primary activities |
| FACC Operations GmbH | Ried im Innkreis, | Development & production | ||
| Austria | EUR 127,000,000 | 100% | of aircraft components | |
| FACC Solutions (Canada) Inc. | Montreal, Canada | CAD 10,000 | 100% | Customer service |
| FACC Solutions Inc. | Wichita, Kansas, USA | USD 10,000 | 100% | Customer service |
| FACC Solutions s.r.o. | Bratislava, Slovakia | EUR 6,639 | 100% | Design & engineering |
| FACC (Shanghai) Co., Ltd | Shanghai, China | RMB 2,000,000 | 100% | Design & engineering |
| ITS digitech PvT. Ltd. | Bhau Patil Marg, India | INR 20,193,002 | 100% | Design & engineering |
| CoLT Prüf und Test GmbH | St. Martin, Austria | EUR 35,000 | 91% | Design & engineering |
The non-controlling interests with respect to the subsidiary CoLT Prüf and Test GmbH are classified as non-significant.
There are no restrictions of access to assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries.
The consolidated companies of the FACC Group as of 28 February 2017 remained unchanged compared to the consolidated companies as of 29 February 2017.
Acquired subsidiaries are reported in accordance with the purchase method. The procurement costs of the purchase correspond to the attributed fair value of the surrendered assets, the issued equity instruments and the incurred or assumed liabilities at the time of the transaction (date of exchange). In the framework of a corporate merger, acquired, identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are evaluated upon initial consolidation at their attributed fair values at the time of acquisition. Costs connected to the company acquisition shall be recorded as expenses in the periods during which they were incurred.
For each company acquisition, the Group decides on a caseby-case basis whether the non-controlling interests of the acquired company will be recorded at the attributed fair value or based on the proportionate share of the net assets of the acquired company.
Internal group transactions, balances and significant, unrealised profits and losses from transactions between group companies shall be eliminated.
The accounting and valuation methods of subsidiaries were, if necessary, modified to ensure uniform accounting and valuation throughout the Group.
Transactions with non-controlling interests shall be treated as transactions with equity holders of the Group. A difference between the paid amount and the relevant share of the carrying amount of the net assets of the subsidiary resulting from the acquisition of a non-controlling interest shall be recorded in equity. Profit and losses incurred when selling non-controlling interests shall also be recorded in equity.
The items included in the financial statements of each group company shall be evaluated on the basis of the currency that corresponds to the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (functional currency). The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in euros ("EUR") which is the functional currency of the FACC Group and the reporting currency of the Group.
When converting the currency of annual financial statements of subsidiaries into foreign currencies, the exchange rates on the balance sheet date were applied to items in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the average exDifferences in these currency conversions shall be recorded as part of the other comprehensive income/loss in equity. change rates for the reporting period were applied to items in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Exchange rate differences from the conversion of transactions and monetary balance sheet items into foreign currencies shall be recorded to profit or loss at the exchange rates applicable at the time of the transaction or valuation. Currency conversion with respect to foreign currency derivatives is explained in note 3 q).
The following exchange rates were applied to currency conversions:
| Closing rate 29 February, 2016 |
Average rate 2015/16 |
|
|---|---|---|
| EUR/CAD 1 | 1.4767 | 1.4388 |
| EUR/USD 1 | 1.0888 | 1.1014 |
| EUR/RMB 1 | 7.1351 | 6.9799 |
| EUR/INR 1 | 74.3825 | 71.6992 |
| Closing rate 28 February, 2017 |
Average rate 2016/17 |
|
|---|---|---|
| EUR/CAD 1 | 1.3984 | 1.4435 |
| EUR/USD 1 | 1.0597 | 1.1012 |
| EUR/RMB 1 | 7.2728 | 7.3700 |
| EUR/INR 1 | 70.6290 | 73.9357 |
Goodwill results from the acquisition of subsidiaries. Goodwill is reported as the value resulting from the surplus of the procurement costs of the acquisition above the Group's share of identifiable net assets evaluated at the attributed fair value. If the procurement costs are lower than the net assets of the acquired subsidiary evaluated at the attributed fair value, the difference shall be recorded to profit or loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
For the purposes of the impairment test, the goodwill acquired in the framework of a corporate merger shall be allocated to the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) or groups of CGUs expected to benefit from the synergies of the merger. Each CGU or group of CGUs to which the goodwill is allocated constitutes the lowest level within the company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The goodwill is monitored internally on the segment level.
A CGU or group of CGUs to which the goodwill has been allocated shall be tested annually with respect to intrinsic value on the financial statement date and whenever there is evidence of impairment. The carrying amount of the CGU, including goodwill, is compared to its recoverable amount, i.e. the higher of attributed fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. If the carrying amount of the CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference shall be recorded directly in profit and loss as amortisation costs. Amortisation costs recorded for the goodwill will not be made up for in the following periods.
Intangible assets acquired in return for payment shall be valued at procurement costs in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and, in general, amortised linearly over their respective usage durations (three to ten years). Supply rights are amortised on the basis of delivered shipsets or shipsets still to be delivered.
An intangible asset resulting from development shall only be recognised if all of the following points can be attested:
The Group capitalises development costs in accordance with IAS 38 on the basis of project-related costs. Per development project, all costs defined as development costs are capitalised. The capitalised development costs are treated as construction in progress. Amortisation begins at the time the series is ready for production. The revenue framework is determined based on the airline monitors in use in the aviation industry (= market prognosis created by a third party) and current customer projections. This revenue framework is re-evaluated on each balance sheet date. The planning horizon of the revenue framework extends to a maximum of 20 years depending on the status of the project (new projects or ongoing projects with remaining terms). This amortisation method ensures that changes in order volumes directly affect development costs. The costs for research projects shall be recorded as an expense as soon as they are incurred.
Borrowing costs standing in direct relation with the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets (these are assets for which a significant period of time is required to achieve the intended usable and salable status) shall be added to the manufacturing costs of these assets up to the time at which the assets are essentially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs shall be recorded to profit or loss in the period in which they were incurred.
Property, plant and equipment are measured at the procurement or manufacturing cost, less scheduled depreciation and impairment.
The manufacturing costs of property, plant and equipment include individual costs and reasonable parts of the overhead costs.
Depreciable property, plant and equipment are depreciated linearly over the expected economic lifecycle of the respective object. When determining the depreciation rates, the following lifecycles were assumed, without changes, in all reporting years:
| Life cycle in years | ||
|---|---|---|
| from | to | |
| Buildings | 10 | 50 |
| Investments in third-party buildings1) | 33 | 50 |
| Technical plants and machinery | 3 | 33 |
| Office equipment | 5 | 14 |
| Vehicles | 5 | 8 |
Profits and losses from disposals of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income under the items "other operating income" and "other operating expenses".
The Group rents assets as a leasing partner. Leasing relationships in which an essential part of the risks and opportunities connected to the ownership of the lease object remain with the lessor are classified as operating leasing relationships. Payments made in conjunction with an operating leasing relationship (net after taking incentives paid by the lessor into account) shall be recorded linearly in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income across the duration of the leasing relationship.
Leasing contracts regarding property, plant and equipment in which the Group bears the essential risks and benefits of owning the lease object shall be classified as finance leases. Assets from finance leases shall be capitalised at the beginning of the leasing contract term at the lower value of the attributed fair value of the lease object and the present value of the minimum lease payments. A lease liability shall be recorded at the same amount as a liability under non-current liabilities. The interest share of the lease instalment shall be recorded as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income so that a constant interest results across the entire term of the leasing contract. Property, plant and equipment held under a finance lease is depreciated over the shorter of the two subsequent periods: the economic lifecycle of the asset or the term of the lease contract.
This item includes securities and interests. Regular purchases and sales of financial assets shall be reported on the settlement date.
All items shall be classified as "available for sale". They shall be valued at the procurement costs on the acquisition date and at the attributed fair value in later periods. Changes in value shall be recorded as part of other comprehensive income/loss in equity and in the event of impairment or realisation due to the sale of the security, they shall be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The attributed fair values of the securities result from the stock market price on the balance sheet date.
Goodwill as an intangible asset with an unlimited lifecycle is subject to an impairment test on the segment level on an annual basis. Development costs which are not subject to scheduled amortisation are subject to an annual impairment test on the project or project group level. Assets which are subject to scheduled depreciation or amortisation are subject to an impairment test if there is any indication that the carrying amount of the asset can no longer be recovered. Assets that are subject to scheduled amortisation shall be audited with respect to impairment if there is any indication that the book value of the asset can no longer be attained. An impairment is recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the asset is the higher of attributed fair value less sales costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of the impairment test, assets shall be combined on the lowest level on which the cash flows are generated which are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets or groups of assets (CGU). For non-financial assets (except for goodwill) for which a depreciation or amortisation was recorded in the past, an audit shall be performed on each balance sheet date to determine whether a reversal of an impairment loss must be recognised (see note 6).
Inventories are measured on the balance sheet date at the lower value of procurement cost or manufacturing cost and net realisable value.
The procurement costs include all costs incurred in order for the product to achieve the required status and bring it to the respective location. The manufacturing costs include all costs and reasonable portions of the overhead costs incurred in conjunction with the production on the basis of an average utilisation of the production facilities. Borrowing costs directly connected to the acquisition, construction or production of qualified assets (these are assets for which a significant period of time is required to achieve the intended usable and salable status) shall be added to the manufacturing costs of these assets up to the time at which the assets are essentially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs shall be recorded to profit or loss in the period in which they were incurred. The costs per unit shall be determined according to moving average cost.
The net realisable value results from the expected sale proceeds for the objects less the production and distribution costs yet to be incurred as defined based on experience. Price reductions in replacement costs shall be taken into account in general when determining the net sale price.
Trade receivables, other receivables and other assets are initially recognised at the attributed fair value or at procurement costs and, thereafter, are reported at the amortised cost carrying amount less necessary write-downs (in the case of impairment). Receivables in foreign currencies shall be evaluated at the applicable closing rate. Receivables which have been overdue for more than one year on the financial statement date shall be discounted (see note on IAS 8).
Cash and cash equivalents include cash (cash holdings), received checks and credit balances with credit institutes available at any time with a maximum original term of three months or less. This corresponds to the definition of cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Due to an individual commitment as a result of an executive employee joining FACC AG on 1 June 2014, the Group is obligated to pay pension benefits to this executive employee after he retires. This obligation has expired according to the present legal opinion with the dismissal of the executive employee in the 2016/2017 fiscal year.
The provision for defined benefit plans recognised in the balance sheet on 29 February 2016 corresponds to the present value of defined benefit obligations (Defined Benefit Obligation, DBO) on the balance sheet date less the attributed fair value of the plan asset. The DBO shall be calculated annually by an independent expert actuarial mathematician using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the DBO shall be calculated by discounting the expected future outflow of funds with the interest rate of commercial bonds with the highest credit rating. The commercial bonds are quoted in the currency of the payout amounts and have terms corresponding to the pension obligations. In countries in which the market is not sufficiently developed for such bonds, government bonds shall be applied.
The current service costs reflect the increased defined benefit obligations earned by the employee during the 2015/16 reporting period. If there are no capitalisations, they shall be recorded under personnel costs in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Service costs to be settled at a later stage shall be recorded immediately to profit or loss. The net interest shall be determined by multiplying the net debt (asset) from the performance-oriented pension plan with the discount rate. Both shall be determined at the beginning of the reporting period taking any and all changes to the net debt into account that took effect as a result of the contribution and benefit payments during the course of the reporting period. The net interest shall be recorded under personnel costs in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Actuarial profits and losses ("revaluation effects") based on experience-related adjustments and changes to actuarial assumptions shall be recorded under other comprehensive income/loss in equity in the period in which they were incurred.
For all members of management, the Group pays monthly contributions into an inter-company pension fund in which the contributions are invested in an employee account and paid out to the employee upon retirement or are transferred as a claim. The Group is solely obligated to pay the contributions recorded in that fiscal year under expenses for which they were paid (defined contribution obligation).
For all employment contracts established in Austria after 31 December 2002, the Group pays monthly contributions in the amount of 1.53% of the remuneration into a company pension fund in which the contributions are invested in an employee account and paid out to the employee upon termination of employment or are transferred as a claim. The Group is solely obligated to pay the contributions recorded in that fiscal year under expenses for which they were paid (defined contribution obligation).
Due to statutory regulations, the Group is obligated to pay a one-time severance in the event of termination or retirement to employees whose employment was established on or before 31 December 2002. This depends on the number of years of service and the income at the time of severance and amounts to between two and twelve months pay. A provision shall be created for this obligation.
This provision is determined in accordance with IAS 19 using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the future payments is calculated across the estimated employment period of the employee in accordance with an actuarial method. The calculation is performed for the respective balance sheet date by an expert actuarial mathematician.
Actuarial profits and losses ("revaluation effects") based on experience-related adjustments and changes to actuarial assumptions shall be recorded under other comprehensive income/loss in equity in the period in which they were incurred.
In addition, a provision has been created for severance payments due to contractual severance obligations towards the Board members of FACC AG. The basis of assessment for the creation of this contractual severance obligation is the value that would have to be paid on the financial statement date in the event a member of the Management Board leaves the company.
Due to collective agreements, the Group is obligated to pay employees an anniversary bonus in the amount of one monthly salary or monthly wage (without allowances and supplements) upon reaching 25 years of service. A provision has been created for this obligation.
This provision is valued based on the projected unit credit method and the assumptions on which the valuation of the statutory severance obligations are based, with the exception that actuarial profits and losses (revaluation effects) shall be recorded in the profit and loss statement.
Other provisions shall be recognised if the Group is subject to a legal or factual obligation towards a third party due to a past incident and it is probable that this obligation will result in an outflow of funds. The provisions shall be recognised at the value that can be determined based on a best estimate at the time the financial statements are created. If a reasonable estimate of the amount is not possible in specific cases, no provision shall be created. This liability will be reported as a contingent liability.
Non-current provisions are discounted if the effect of discounting is significant and the discounting period can be reliably estimated.
The tax expense for the period is comprised of ongoing and deferred taxes. If taxes do not pertain to items that were recorded directly in equity or in other comprehensive income/ loss, taxes will be recorded to profit or loss, otherwise they will also be recorded in equity or other comprehensive income/loss.
As of 13/15 February 2012, Aerospace Innovation Investment GmbH (now FACC AG) as group parent and Aero Vision Holding GmbH as well as FACC AG (now FACC Operations GmbH) as group members entered into a group and tax sharing agreement pursuant to the provisions of section 9 of the Austrian Corporate Tax Act. On 28 February 2017, a new group contract was concluded between FACC AG and FACC Operations GmbH. The tax sharing agreement is in principle based on the status-alone method by which a tax allocation amounting to 25% of the positive income attributed by the group member to the group parent is to be made. The positive income of the group member is to be balanced with carried forward negative income of the group member (loss carry forward), whereby a limited loss deduction of the group parent has to be taken into consideration. In the event a group member earns negative income, a negative tax allocation of 25% is to be made to the extent that the negative income is covered by positive comprehensive income of the group parent. An agreement on settlement payments of loss carry forwards of the group member not yet accounted for has been made. Since June 2014, FACC Operations GmbH (formerly FACC AG) and FACC AG (formerly Aerospace Innovation Investment GmbH) have been an income tax group in accordance with section 2 paragraph 2 line 2 of the Austrian Income Tax Code (UStG).
Deferred taxes shall be recognised for all temporary differences between the tax base of the assets/liabilities and their carrying amounts in the IFRS-based financial statements (liabilities method). If, however, in the framework of a transaction that does not constitute a company merger, a deferred tax is generated from the initial recognition of an asset or liability which, at the time of the transaction, had neither an effect on the accounting nor on the tax-related profit or loss, the tax deferral is waived at the time of the initial recognition and thereafter. Deferred tax liabilities from the initial recognition of goodwill shall not be recorded. Deferred taxes shall be valued based on the tax rates (and tax regulations) applicable on the balance sheet date or which have been substantially enacted and are expected to be applicable at the time the deferred tax receivable or payment of the deferred tax liability is realised.
Deferred tax receivables shall only be recognised to the extent to which it is probable that a taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be applied.
Deferred tax liabilities created due to temporary differences in conjunction with shares in subsidiaries shall be recognised, unless the Group can determine the time at which the reversal of the temporary differences came about and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future due to this factor.
Deferred tax receivables and liabilities shall be balanced if there is an enforceable legal claim to offsetting and if the deferred tax receivables and liabilities pertain to income taxes that are collected by the same tax authority for either the same tax subject or different tax subjects which intend on bringing about the balance on a net basis.
Deferred tax assets for loss carry forwards shall only be recognised to the extent recovery is expected within a reasonable amount of time. In the framework of the estimation of the probability, the Group refers to existing tax plans.
The financial liabilities of the Group shall be evaluated at the attributed fair value upon initial recognition and after deducting the transaction costs. In the subsequent periods, they will be evaluated at the amortised cost carrying amount. Any difference between the payout amount (after deducting transaction costs) and the repayment amount of financial liabilities shall be recorded over the liabilities term and distributed in accordance with the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables and other liabilities shall be evaluated at the attributed fair value or procurement costs upon initial recognition and, thereafter, at the amortised carrying amount.
The Group utilises derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign currency risks and interest risks. In principle, the Group does not utilise derivative financial instruments for the purposes of trading or speculation. Derivative financial instruments are initially valued at the attributed fair value applicable on the acquisition date and at the attributed fair value applicable on the respective, subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in the attributed fair value are recorded dependent on whether the conditions in accordance with IAS 39 for the application of the regulations for hedge relationships have been fulfilled.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments which serve to hedge against cash flow fluctuations in conjunction with transactions that will very likely occur in the future, are classified as cash flow hedges. Upon conclusion of the transaction, the Group documents the hedging relationship between the hedging instrument and the underlying transaction, the objectives of its risk management and the underlying strategy when concluding hedging transactions. Furthermore, the estimation regarding whether derivatives implemented in the hedging relationship very effectively compensate the changes in the attributed fair value or the cash flow of the underlying transaction shall be continuously documented.
The Group concludes foreign exchange futures that serve to hedge the foreign currency risk in conjunction with certain planned foreign currency revenues. The effective portion of changes in the attributed fair value of these derivatives shall be recorded under other comprehensive income/loss in the reserve for cash flow hedges (currency hedging) as a part of other provisions. Profits and losses pertaining to the ineffective portion shall be recorded immediately in profit and loss.
The reserve for cash flow hedges shall be dissolved to profit or loss during the period in which the hedged underlying transaction has an effect on income (e.g. at the time at which a planned revenue transaction takes place).
If a hedging transaction expires, is sold or no longer fulfils the criteria for being recorded as a hedging relationship, the profit or loss accumulated in the reserve for cash flow hedges shall remain in equity and be written off to profit or loss as soon as the planned transaction is recorded to profit or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. If the future transaction is no longer expected to occur, the accumulated profits or losses in equity shall be immediately written off to profit or loss.
For derivatives that, in accordance with IAS 39, do not qualify as a hedging relationship for accounting purposes (such as structured foreign exchange futures and interest swaps or in the case of those to which the regulations of hedge accounting do not apply), changes in the attributed fair value shall be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income under the item "Fair value evaluation of derivative financial instruments" or "Other operating income and expenses" (if these derivatives pertain to reported foreign currency receivables and liabilities). Interest income and expenses from interest derivative transactions shall be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income under "Interest income from financial instruments".
Foreign currencies for receivables, cash and cash equivalents and liabilities are converted at the closing rate. Profits and losses shall be recorded to profit or loss.
Grants from public entities shall be recorded at their attributed fair value if it can be assumed with a high probability that the grant will be issued and the Group fulfils the necessary conditions for receiving the grant.
Investment grants for costs shall be recorded over the period in which the corresponding costs the grant was intended to cover were incurred.
Investment grants for investments in property, plant and equipment shall be recorded as deferred items within non-current liabilities/current liabilities. They shall be dissolved on a linear basis, to profit or loss, over the expected economic lifecycle of the relevant assets.
Borrowing costs that can be directly assigned to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualified asset shall be capitalised as a portion of the procurement or manufacturing costs of this asset until essentially all work has been completed in order to manufacture the asset for its intended use or sale. A qualified asset is an asset for which a significant period of time is required for it to achieve the status intended for its utilisation or sale.
Other borrowing costs shall be recorded during the period in which they were incurred as expenses.
Sales revenues include the attributed fair value of the remuneration received or to be received in return for the sale of goods and services in the framework of the normal business activities of the Group. Sales revenues shall be reported less sales tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating internal group sales.
The Group generates sales revenues from the sale of goods (shipsets) to its customers. Sales of goods in the framework of supply contracts shall be posted if the Group or a group company has delivered the products to the customer after all risks have been transferred to the customer in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions and it is sufficiently likely at the time of invoicing that the benefit arising from the transaction will accrue to the company. If uncertainties arise about collectability at a later stage, the uncollected or uncertain amount shall be posted as an expense.
The Group also generates sale revenues from engineering and the provision of services to third parties in conjunction with the production of shipsets. These services include the following: The sale of technology and research results and conducting training courses for external business partners. These sales revenues shall be recorded over the period in which the services were rendered to the respective external business partner.
Parts of the Group's revenue come from construction contracts. The reporting of this revenue is explained in note 3 b) vi).
Due to its business activities, the FACC Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risks (includes the foreign currency risk, the interest-related risk from changes to the attributed fair value, the interest-related cash flow risk and the market price risk), credit risks and liquidity risks. The overarching risk management of the Group is focused on the unpredictability of the developments on the financial markets and aims at minimising the potential negative impacts on the Group's financial situation. The Group utilises derivative financial instruments to hedge against certain risks. In principle, the Group does not utilise derivative financial instruments for speculation purposes.
Risk management is performed by the central treasury department (Group treasury). The Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the operative units of the Group.
The branch-specific risk of the Group lies in the change of aircraft delivery plans for manufacturers with respect to their final consumers. The risk from changes in future aircraft deliveries impacts the Group's future revenues since the supply quantities of the components manufactured by the Group change accordingly. The risk can arise in the form of a reduction in aircraft deliveries, but also due to postponement thereof. This results in development costs not being earned in the calculated period of time. This risk is met by diversifying within the branch: on the one hand, by maintaining supply contracts with the two dominant market providers of commercial aircraft and, on the other hand, by entering into supply contracts in both the large passenger aircraft and business jets segments. In addition, the Group is geographically diversified since it maintains supply contracts with the American/European market and in Asia. In addition, the FACC Group also acts as a development partner in the field of improving existing aircraft models which results in supply contracts for retrofitting existing aircraft models.
Exchange rate and interest risks must be noted here in particular and are explained in more detail in the following. In addition to the two risk groups described above, there are no other significant market price risks.
Foreign currency risk – Due to payment flows from operative business in foreign currencies, primarily USD, the FACC Group is exposed to a foreign currency risk. As a result, profit or future cash flows are impacted by changes in the US dollar to euro exchange rate to the extent that the Group does not utilise financial instruments to hedge against its current and future net foreign currency position. The hedging strategies of the Group's treasury department aim at controlling and minimising the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on these profits and future cash flows. The Management Board approves the strategies and reports regularly to the Supervisory Board. This is a continuous process. The objective is to minimise the inherent risks from changes on the market with the right strategy.
The risk management of the Group's treasury department pursues the objective of hedging the expected cash flows in USD (from sales revenues and sales of raw materials) for the following periods: for the next twelve months a 100% hedge, for months 13 to 24 a 50% hedge, for months 25 to 36 a 25% hedge. The probability of these USD cash flows occurring as a hedging relationship is high with respect to accounting. Therefore, the Group reports the foreign exchange futures as hedging instruments in accordance with the rules of hedge accounting.
A change in the exchange rates with respect to all currencies on 29 February 2016 and 28 February 2017 would have essentially only an impact on the Group with respect to USD; on the one hand, due to the effects of the closing rate evaluation of the USD items in the Consolidated Financial Statements and, on the other hand, due to the effect of the change in the attributed fair values of the derivative financial instruments in conjunction with cash flow hedges.
A change in the EUR/USD exchange rate on 29 February 2016 and 28 February 2017 by +5% (average exchange rate, respectively: 1.088 and 1.0597) would have resulted in a reduction of income (net of tax) by kEUR 4,053 and kEUR 3,740, resulting from the closing rate evaluation, and an increase in other comprehensive income/loss and equity by kEUR 10,992 and kEUR 11,108, as well as an increase in equity by kEUR 6,939 and kEUR 7,368, resulting from the change in the attributed fair values from derivative financial instruments in conjunction with cash flow hedges.
A change in the EUR/USD exchange rate on 29 February 2016 and 28 February 2017 by –5% (average exchange rate, respectively: 1.088 and 1.0597) would have resulted in an increase of income (net of tax) by kEUR 4,480 and kEUR 4,134, resulting from the closing rate evaluation, and a reduction in other comprehensive income/loss by kEUR 11,967 and kEUR 12,006, as well as a reduction in equity by kEUR 7,487 and kEUR 7,872, resulting from the change in the attributed fair values from derivative financial instruments in conjunction with cash flow hedges.
Interest risk – Risks from changes in the interest level essentially only arise from non-current third-party financing. A list of all significant liabilities subject to interest and their remaining terms and information about existing interest swap transactions is included in notes 13, 14 and 15.
Whether an item is subject to a fixed or variable interest rate is evaluated by the Group taking the aspect of interest rate change risks into consideration with respect to changes in cash flows of future interest payments. In close cooperation with market specialists from the banking sector, the treasury department regularly performs a check for each item subject to interest to determine whether a hedging instrument can sensibly be applied. Strategies are submitted to and approved by the Management Board.
If the market interest rates had been 50 base points higher on 29 February 2016 and 28 February 2017, income (net of tax) and equity would have been kEUR 256 and kEUR 270 lower. A reduction of the market interest rate by 50 base points would have resulted in an increase of income (net of tax) and equity of the same amount. The calculation is based on the financial assets and liabilities subject to a variable interest rate.
A significant component of FACC's business policy is to always maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents as a liquidity reserve in order to fulfill current and future obligations. This is largely secured by the reported total inventory of liquid assets and extensive, unused credit lines (kEUR 66,162 on 29 February 2016 and kEUR 61,000 on 28 February 2017). The amount of the working capital is constantly monitored and reported to the Management Board. Timely financing is the highest priority when making financing decisions. If needed, surplus liquid assets are invested in non-speculative highly liquid financial instruments, whereby these are primarily money market certificates, overnight money, securities and other money market instruments which are generally due within less than three months. Reference is made to note 4 e) with respect to an analysis of the due dates of the financial assets and liabilities.
In connection with the promissory note loans 2012 to 2017 (nominal volume in the amount of EUR 8 million; carrying amount EUR 8 million) and 2012 to 2019 (nominal volume EUR 34 million; carrying amount EUR 34 million) (variable interest rate from 6 month Euribor +1.2 percentage points to 6 month Euribor +2.25 percentage points, or a fixed interest rate of 2.82%–3.7%), a covenant was agreed according to which FACC Operations GmbH as issuer has to fulfill a certain corporate equity ratio (30% and 20% after deduction of the capitalised development costs). In the event of non-compliance with the covenant, the creditor has a termination right. The covenant was complied with on the financial statement dates of 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
In connection with the bond 2013 to 2020 (nominal volume in the amount of EUR 90 million; carrying amount of EUR 89 million; fixed interest rate of 4%), FACC Operations GmbH as issuer made guarantees as to the specific amount of dividends calculated on the basis of the annual surplus and a certain equity ratio which must not decrease due to the payment of dividends. Thus, no more than 50% of the annual surplus may be paid to shareholders as dividends. In addition, the equity ratio of 30% must not be decreased due to the payment of dividends. In the event of non-compliance with the covenant, the creditor has a termination right. This covenant was complied with on the financial statement dates of 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
In connection with the refinancing framework (carrying amount of EUR 26 million) of the Austrian Kontrollbank (ÖKB), FACC Operations GmbH as debtor made guarantees as to a specific corporate equity ratio of 35%. In the event of non-compliance with the covenant, the creditor has a termination right. This covenant was complied with on the financial statement dates of 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016.
The Group values a sustainable financing portfolio. The financial liabilities subject to interest exhibited the following structure regarding interest rates and maturity on 28 February 2017 and 29 February 2016:
The average interest rate of all financial liabilities subject to interest was 4.5% on 28 February 2017 and 5.9% as of 29 February 2016
The Group is active in the aircraft industry and has two primary customers. Due to the limited number of aircraft manufacturers, it is therefore exposed to a concentration of credit risk.
The Group is exposed to a credit risk with respect to the non-performance of contract partners. The Group has introduced guidelines for limiting credit risks. Products and services are sold to customers with corresponding solvency. The financial situation, past experiences and additional factors are taken into account. New customers are evaluated with respect to the default risk based on credit ratings. The credit rating of existing customers is also monitored on a regular basis. Customer receivables surpassing a certain amount shall be insured against default. Credit risks also arise from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and other financial institutions. Such transactions are only executed with serious and creditworthy banks and financial institutions.
The maximum credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.
| Term to maturity | Carrying amount 29 February 2016 EUR'000 |
Carrying amount 28 February 2017 EUR'000 |
|---|---|---|
| < 12 months and fixed | 8,491 | 10,324 |

The nominal amounts of certain types of derivative financial instruments serve as a basis for comparison for the instruments reported in the balance sheet, but do not necessarily indicate the current attributed fair value and are therefore not a measurement for the credit or market price risk to which the Group is exposed. Depending on the individual conditions, the derivative financial instruments have a beneficial (assets) or negative (liabilities) impact depending on fluctuations in the market interest rate or exchange rate. The aggregated contractual or nominal amounts of the respective derivative financial instruments, the extent to which these are beneficial or have a negative impact and thus also the aggregated attributed fair value of the derivative financial assets and liabilities can be subject to severe temporal fluctuations.
The contract volume of the foreign currency derivatives is compiled as follows and structured by due date:
| Remaining term | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Status as of 29 February 2016 | Up to 1 year USD'000 |
1 to 5 years USD'000 |

The contractual due dates of the payments from the cash flow hedges, i.e. when the underlying transactions have an effect on income, essentially correspond to the due dates of the currency hedging contracts above.
The contract volume of the derivative financial instruments for interest hedges is composed as follows:

The original financial instruments include essentially other non-current financial assets, trade receivables, credit with credit institutes, bonds, financial liabilities and trade payables.
All financial instrument purchases and sales are recorded on the date of fulfillment.
The valuation of the financial instruments is performed on the acquisition date, in principle, at the procurement costs that correspond with the attributed fair value at that time. The financial assets shall be written off if the rights to payments from the investment have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred essentially all risks and opportunities connected to the ownership of the asset. Financial liabilities shall be written off when the obligation to pay has expired.
The current and non-current financial assets and liabilities are compiled as follows, based on the categories in accordance with IAS 39:

FLAC Financial Liabilities at Amortised Cost
The fair value (attributed fair value) of a financial instrument is the price at which a party would assume the rights and/or obligations from this financial instrument from another party. The fair values were determined based on the market information available on the balance sheet date and the evaluation methods described below. In light of varying impact factors, the attributed fair values of financial instruments stated in the annual financial statement may deviate from the values to be realised on the market at a future date.
The majority of trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents have short remaining terms. Therefore, their carrying amounts nearly correspond to the fair values on the balance sheet date. The fair values of non-current financial assets correspond, if no market prices are available, to the present values of the connected payments taking the respective current market parameters into account.
The fair value of the securities available for sale was determined based on their listed stock market price on the balance sheet date.
The trade payables and other current financial liabilities generally have short terms; the carrying amounts therefore nearly correspond to the fair values.
The fair value of bonds corresponds to the market value on the closing date. For variable interest rate loans, the carrying amount constitutes the fair value. For non-current fixed rate liabilities towards credit institutes (including promissory note loans), the fair value was determined by discounting the cash flows applying a standard market interest rate. The fair value of non-current fixed rate receivables and liabilities pertains to the valuation hierarchy of IFRS 13, level 2.
The attributed fair value of the derivative financial instruments reported under assets and liabilities is the estimated amount the Group would have to pay or would receive if the transactions were settled on 29 February 2016 or 28 February 2017.
When evaluating the attributed fair value of evaluated financial instruments, a distinction is made between three evaluation hierarchies:
The assignment of the financial instruments evaluated at the attributed fair value to the three evaluation hierarchies was as follows on the balance sheet date:

The Group manufactures supply parts for the aviation industry, primarily for civil aircraft and helicopters. The range of products includes structural components (cladding components on the fuselage and tail unit, engine cowling components and composite parts for engines, wing components and wing tips) as well as components for interiors of aircraft (such as baggage storage areas, interior cladding, service units, etc.).
The segment reporting follows the internal control and reporting of FACC. Due to the different applications the products are used for, three operative segments were created. The "FACC Aerostructures" segment is responsible for the development, production and distribution of structural components, the "FACC Interiors" segment is responsible for the development, production and distribution of interior furnishings and the "FACC Engines & Nacelles" segment is responsible for the production and distribution of engine components. After concluding the customer contracts and processing the order, the individual orders are manufactured at the Group's five plants. In addition to the three operative segments, the company also includes the central services for financial and controlling, human resources, quality assurance, purchasing and IT (including engineering services). The central services support the operative segments in fulfilling their duties in accordance with a matrix organisation.
In separate monthly management review meetings, the segment managers report to the Management Board (primary decision makers). The current status of the order situation, revenue, coverage contributions for individual projects, dates and milestones, project and development risks, proposal calculation and proposal creation, necessary investments and other important operative topics are discussed and, if necessary, immediate decisions are made.
The segmented assets and expenses and income are assigned to the three segments using a defined procedure. The total segment income constitutes external revenue with external parties.
The internal reporting in the segments is based primarily on information on profitability. As part of the segment calculation, profitability is calculated on the project level in the form of direct costing and summarised in segments. The expenses and income not directly attributable to the project level were assigned to the segments based on a defined code.
With the exception of depreciations, amortisations and write-downs, there were no other significant non-cash expenses in the individual segments. Furthermore, there was no significant non-cash income.
The segment assets include the portion of the non-current and current assets utilised for the operative activity of the segment. This includes, in particular, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, cash and cash equivalents, provisions and trade receivables. Liabilities were not divided by segment since this has also not been done in internal controlling and reporting.

The FACC Group recognises construction contracts in accordance with IAS 11 using the zero-profit method since the income from a production order cannot be reliably and regularly determined due to the specificities of the orders. Thus, the income from orders is only recorded to the extent the order costs incurred can likely be obtained from the customer. During the 2016/17 fiscal year, incurred order costs = income from orders in the amount of kEUR 13,697 (kEUR 21,681 on 29 February 2016) were recorded.
On the balance sheet date, the following construction contracts exist with outstanding customer balances:
| Carrying amount | 29 February 2016 EUR'000 |
28 February 2017 EUR'000 |

| Receivables from construction contracts | 20,242 | 18,788 |
The receivables from construction contracts correspond to the carrying amount of the receivables from construction contracts posted in the balance sheet since there were no partial settlements. There are no withholdings for partial settlements either.
Received advanced payments from customers in conjunction with construction contracts for which there is no rendered service yet are recorded as trade payables with a carrying amount of kEUR 1,627 (kEUR 4,023 on 29 February 2016).

With the exception of the following receivables, all trade receivables and receivables from related companies, as in the previous year, have a remaining term of up to one year:
Receivable from the customer Rohr Inc., Chula Vista, USA, with a nominal amount of kEUR 3,567 (corresponds to a cash value of kEUR 3,441) with an annual repayment plan starting on 15 January 2015 and ending on January 15, 2019 and a further receivable with a nominal amount of kEUR 4,630 (corresponds to a cash value of kEUR 4,109) with a non-current repayment plan dependent upon the number of annually delivered units starting on 1 March 2014 and ending at the time at which 1,108 units have been delivered. For one customer, in conjunction with a development project, a receivable in the amount of kEUR 1,178 was reported under "non-current",
since the payment agreement provides for a non-current repayment plant dependent upon the number of annually delivered units starting on 1 March 2015.
During the reporting period 2015/2016, the company lost kEUR 52,847 in cash flows from the company as a result of an external fraud (fake president incident). As a result of directly initiated measures, we were able to block kEUR 10,860 to receiver accounts. This amount is recognised as long term receivables. This is because the subsidiary FACC Operations GmbH sees itself as the legal owner of the money and assumes a refund by bank transfer on the basis of a legal opinion. The assumption is that the funds blocked in the recipient accounts will not be returned in the near future.
The carrying amounts of the trade receivables, receivables from construction contracts and other Group receivables are quoted in the following currencies:

FACC AG's unchanged share capital amounts to kEUR 45,790 and has been paid in full. It is divided into 45,790,000 units at a price of EUR 1 each.
The capital reserve amounts to kEUR 221,459 (kEUR 221,459 on 29 February 2016).
The reserve for cash flow hedges results from changes in the fair value of hedging instruments which must be recorded directly in equity in accordance with IAS 39 (cash flow hedges). The effective share of the fair value changes was recorded in comprehensive income under cash flow hedge reserve. These changes in the equity shall be reported net of tax under other comprehensive income/loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The ineffective portion of the fair value changes in the amount of kEUR 0 (Monday, 29 February 2016) and kEUR 0 (Tuesday, 28 February 2017) was recorded to profit or loss in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The reserve for cash flow hedges shall be liquidated to profit or loss while also liquidating the amount recorded under other comprehensive income/loss if the underlying hedged transactions are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income to profit or loss.
The changes in the fair value of forward exchange transactions which are designated as hedging instruments are as follows:

The objective of capital management is to maintain a strong capital base in order to face the specific company risks (growth and development risks) with a balanced capital structure. Management considers solely the carrying amount of the equity as capital in accordance with IFRS. The objective is an equity ratio of at least 30%. On the balance sheet date, the equity ratio (ratio of equity to total assets) was 40% (29 February 2016) and 42% (28 February 2017).

Certain liabilities towards credit institutes are secured by granting liens to operational properties, by guarantees from the AWS, by state guarantees for loans in the framework of subsidies agreements from the Austrian Research Promotion Agency and by chattel mortgages on machines. The export loan in the control bank procedure is secured by export receivables in the amount of 120% of the amount granted. In order to utilise preferential interest rates for research funding loans, certain constraints must be met. The collateral for certain liabilities towards credit institutions in conjunction with properties and buildings amounted to kEUR 15,966 on Monday, 29 February 2016 and kEUR 15,966 on Tuesday, 28 February 2017.

Forward exchange transactions are concluded to hedge against the currency risk resulting from the product of sales in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group. In order to recognise them as hedging relationships, qualified forward exchange transactions are illustrated as cash flow hedges in accordance with IAS 39. Forward exchange transactions that are not recorded as cash flow hedges are illustrated as freestanding derivatives.
Hedged transactions in foreign currencies are expected to occur during the hedged periods. Profits and losses from forward exchange transactions that are recorded as comprehensive income in the reserve for cash flow hedges in equity shall be reposted to profit or loss in the period income for the period(s) in which the hedged, expected transaction has an effect on comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. This is generally done within a maximum of 36 months after the balance sheet date.
In order to hedge against the interest risk of the financial liabilities subject to interest, interest swapping agreements were made that are not illustrated as hedging relationships in accordance with IAS 39 but are instead recognised as freestanding derivatives.
The non-current and current investment subsidies amount to kEUR 13,289 (Monday, 29 February 2016) and kEUR 13,546 (Tuesday, 28 February 2017). The significant portion of the investment subsidies is contingent upon constraints which, in general, have to be met for three to five years from the time the final invoice is recognised by the funding body. These largely pertain to a minimum number of employees that have to be employed and the constraint that the funded assets have to remain at the project location and may not be sold. The other investment subsidies pertain to receivables for development projects and shall be liquidated based on the duration of the project.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined by calculating its value in use. These calculations are based on the projected cash flows which are derived from the multi-year plan adopted by the management. Cash flows after this multi-year period shall be extrapolated using the growth rates illustrated below. The growth rate does not exceed the non-current average growth rate of the business segment in which the CGU is active.
Key assumptions when calculating the value in use in the year 2016/17:
| Aerostructures | Engines & Nacelles | Interiors | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth rate1) | 1.50% | 1.50% | 1.50% |
| Discount rate2) | 7.44% | 7.44% | 7.44% |
Key assumptions when calculating the value in use in the year 2015/16:
| Aerostructures | Engines & Nacelles | Interiors | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth rate1) | 1.50% | 1.50% | 1.50% |
| Discount rate2) | 7.55% | 7.55% | 7.55% |
The average rate of inflation, applied to the most important sales markets, is used as an estimate for the sustainable growth rate. Furthermore, sale contracts in the aircraft component supply industry are mostly long-term. These allow, in connection with data from the airline monitor, for a reliable estimate of growth rates.
In the planning period, an average EBIT margin of 7.7% (2015/16: 9.8%) or an average sales growth rate of 5.4% (2015/16: 8.9%) on Group level was taken into account. For the Interiors segment, an average EBIT margin of 4.8% (2015/16: 1.8%) and an average sales growth rate of 3.3% (2015/16: 4.7%) were taken into account.
The management defined the budgeted gross margin based on past developments and expectations with respect to future market developments.
For the essential assumptions of sensitivity analyses, reference is made to note 4 b) vii).
As a result of the long-term basis of the underlying business (contract terms of up to 15 years) as well as associated extended industrialisation phases (five to seven year periods until target margin is achieved) a planning period of six years was determined on the part of management. It is expected that a steady state of the earning situation for the calculation of the perpetuity will first be reached after six years.
The WACC, sales volumes and the development of prices and costs were used as key assumptions for the impairment test of development costs.
The group companies have conducted and concluded various transactions with related consolidated companies as part of their regular business activity. These activities have been fully consolidated.

We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of FACC AG, Ried im Innkreis, and of its subsidiaries (the Group) comprising the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of 28 February 2017, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the fiscal year then ended and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Based on our audit the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the legal regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and the financial position of the Group as of 28 February 2017 and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements under Section 245a of the Austrian Company Code (UGB).
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Austrian Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with the International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those regulations and standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and professional requirements and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the fiscal year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We considered the following matters as key audit matters for our audit:
In connection with the ongoing enforcement audit in accordan-
*) This report is a translation of the original report in German, which is solely valid. Publication or sharing with third parties of the Consolidated Financial Statements together with our auditor's opinion is only allowed if the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Management Report for the Group are identical with the German audited version. This audit opinion is only applicable to the German and complete Consolidated Financial Statements with the Management Report for the Group. Section 281 paragraph 2 of the UGB (Austrian Company Code) applies to alternated versions.
ce with accounting control law (Rechnungslegungs-Kontrollgesetz), which was not finalised until the date of the issuance of the Group's financial statements, management evaluated specific matters and made a restatement in accordance with IAS 8 for the following balance sheet positions, which resulted also in adjustments to the Group's comprehensive income statement, the Group's equity development and the Group's cash flow: intangible assets, fixed assets, trade accounts receivables, receivables from construction projects, other provisions and deferred taxes.
The impact of these restatements on the result after taxes in the financial year 2015/2016 was EUR –30.4 million and on the equity as of 29 February 2016 was EUR –37.3 million.
The main risk is the calculation of the amounts to be restated, the correct recognition and presentation of the error corrections in the Group's financial statements as of 28 February 2017 and the completeness of the notes for the restatements.
The disclosures for the restated errors are in note 2.
To address the risk we challenged critically the underlying assessments and management estimates and have performed amongst others the following audit procedures:
in the Group's financial statements FACC AG discloses goodwill amounting to EUR 18.6 million (prior year: EUR 18.6 million) and capitalised development cost amounting to EUR 118.6 million (previous year: EUR 111.4 million).
In the course of the annual impairment test for goodwill and the development cost not yet in use and the development cost with a trigger for an impairment, management have to make significant accounting estimates of value in use, which is derived by a discounted cashflow model. The recoverable amount is highly dependent on the discount rate (WACC) and the expected and planned cash flows in the midterm planning and for the amount used in the terminal value for goodwill. For development cost of programmes with an amortisation period longer than the midterm planning, planning assumptions have to be set depending on the rates of the airline monitor. The expected amortisation period is estimated based on the specific programme.
The main risk is the estimation of future cash flows and the derivation of an adequate discount rate. The estimation of cash flows includes assumptions about future market and economy developments and they are also impacted by internal learning curves for the specific programmes.
We also refer to our explanations in key audit matter 1. Restated errors in accordance with IAS 8.
The disclosures for goodwill and development cost are included in note 3 b) vi) and note 3 d).
To address the risk we have critically challenged the assumptions and estimates of management and among others performed the following audit procedures:
FACC AG recognises no provisions for onerous contracts, because there are no contracts for which the expected total contract cost exceed the expected revenue of the contract. Two significant agreements with one customer under one framework contract are considered linked based on the timing and economic dependency of the cash inflows for the evaluation of the provision of an onerous contract.
The main risk is that the criteria for the combination of contracts to one contract are not given and a common consideration is not adequate. Another significant risk is the estimation of the total contract cost and contract revenue.
The disclosures for the valuation of onerous contracts are in note 3 b) viii).
To address the risk we have critically challenged the assumptions and estimates of management and among others performed the following audit procedures:
• Evaluation whether the common consideration of several customer agreements for the valuation of onerous contracts is adequate
4. Revenue recognition and recoverability of trade account receivables and receivables from construction contracts
FACC AG recognises the revenue from the sale of goods and from engineering and other services. The revenue from services and engineering are realised over a time period and are disclosed as receivables from construction contracts in accordance with IAS 11.
For the revenue recognition from the sale of goods the main risk is that management has to assess how probable it is that the economic benefit will flow to the company and which uncertainties exist at the time of the revenue recognition.
For constructions contracts significant estimations for the expected contract revenue and contract cost have to be made, which are impacted by uncertainties and may be dependent on the outcome of future events. In a next step after the revenue recognition it has to be evaluated in how far changes in the estimation of recoverability have occurred and accounts receivables need to be impaired.
The disclosures for revenue recognition are in note 3 u) for revenue recognition, in note 3 b) vi) and note 3 j) for trade accounts receivables and in note 3 b) vi) for receivables from construction contracts.
To address the risk we have critically challenged the assumptions and estimates of management and among others performed the following audit procedures:
Evaluation of external legal opinion in respect of disputed matters in contracts
Discussion of significant overdue trade receivables with management and division management
At the end of the fiscal year 2015/16 the FACC Group was confronted with a fake president incident, which led to a cash outflow of EUR 52.9 million. Thereof an amount of approx. EUR 10.9 million was frozen on a bank account in China. Based on a legal opinion requested by management as of 28 February 2017 receivables amounting to EUR 10.9 million are recognised.
Immediately after this fraud case additional controls in the payment process of the Group have been implemented and during the financial year the payment and purchasing process was analysed in detail and controls to improve the process have been implemented.
Due to the fraud case described above there is a risk that controls in the payment process are not sufficient to avoid a further fraudulent outflow of money. In addition there is a risk that the frozen money cannot be repaid and the respective receivables are not recoverable.
The disclosures for the fake president incident are in note 10.
To address the risks mentioned above we have evaluated the payment process and the estimates made by management in respect of receivables for the frozen money in China and we have performed among others the following audit procedures:
The Group's financial statements of FACC AG for the year ended 29 February 2016 were audited by another group auditor who issued an unqualified audit opinion 20 May 2016.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements under Section 245a of the Austrian Company Code (UGB) for them to present a true and fair view of the assets, the financial position and the financial performance of the Group and for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with the Austrian Standards on Auditing, which require the application of ISA, always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with the Austrian Standards on Auditing, which require the application of ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Pursuant to the Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Management Report for the Group is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements and as to whether the Management Report for the Group was prepared in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the Management Report for the Group in accordance with the Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Austrian Standards on Auditing for the audit of the Management Report for the Group.
In our opinion, the Management Report for the Group was prepared in accordance with the valid legal requirements, comprising the details in accordance with Section 243a of the Austrian Company Code (UGB), and is consistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Based on the findings during the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and due to the thus obtained understanding concerning the Group and its circumstances no material misstatements in the Management Report for the Group came to our attention.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Management Report for the Group and the auditor's report thereon. The Annual Report is estimated to be provided to us after the date of the auditor's report. Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, as soon as it is available, and, in doing so, to consider whether – based on our knowledge obtained in the audit – the other information is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
The auditor responsible for the audit mandate resulting in this independent auditor's report is Ms. Johanna Hobelsberger-Gruber, Certified Public Accountant.

The Austrian Code of Corporate Governance (ACCG) provides Austrian stock corporations with a framework for the management and control of enterprises. It covers the standards of good corporate management common in international business practice as well as the most important provisions of Austrian corporation law that are of relevance in this context. The Code aims to establish a system of management and control of companies and groups that is accountable and is geared to creating sustainable, long-term value.
Key elements of good corporate governance practice encompass a high degree of transparency for all stakeholders, a long-term sustainable increase in corporate value as well as efficient cooperation among all governing bodies, the safeguarding of shareholders' interests and open corporate communications.
FACC AG respects the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance (ACCG) and committed itself for the first time to compliance with the provisions contained in this Code in 2014, following the first listing of the company shares on the Prime Market of the Vienna Stock Exchange. The Code is available on the Internet at www.corporate-governance.at in the currently valid version.
In accordance with the provisions of the law, compliance with the ACCG is assessed by an external auditor. The outcome of the assessment confirms that corporate governance is integral to FACC. The results of this assessment are made available to all interested parties on the corporate website at www.facc.com.
In accordance with Rule 60 of the ACCG, FACC AG is required to prepare and publish a Corporate Governance Report. This Corporate Governance Report is publicly available on the website of FACC AG (www.facc.com) (C-Rule 61 of the ACCG).

In accordance with the Stock Corporation Act, the Supervisory Board of FACC AG has set up an Audit Committee, which carries out scheduled supervisory and control functions. In addition to the review of the accounting process as well as the process of auditing the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements, the Audit Committee also monitors the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems of the company.
Besides, the Committee is required to audit the corporate governance report, on which a report is made at the Annual General Meeting. In the 2016/17 financial year, the Audit Committee met three times. In the year under review, a total of four Supervisory Board meetings were held.
No additional meetings were required. No member of the Supervisory Board attended less than half of the meetings.
In addition to the Audit Committee, whose establishment is mandatory, the Supervisory Board has also set up a Strategy Committee and a Personnel and Remuneration Committee (Nomination Committee).
The functional responsibilities of the Supervisory Board members in the respective committees are shown in the following table:
The Management Board reports to the Supervisory Board on fundamental issues relating to the future business policies of both the company and the Group as a whole as well as the future development of assets and liabilities, financial position and profit or loss.

The Supervisory Board shall ensure that the total remuneration of the members of the Management Board is commensurate with the tasks and performance of each individual member of the Management Board, the situation of the company, the usual level of remuneration, and must also take measures to create incentives to promote behaviour supportive of the long-term development of the company.

The most important parameter for calculating the variable remuneration components is the development of the operating result (EBIT) along with individually agreed performance indicators.
No maximum limit has been defined for these variable remuneration components.
In the 2016/17 financial year, variable remuneration components accounted for 0 percent of total remuneration of the members of the Management Board.
No stock option programme has been set up for members of the Management Board or for the company's executives.

There are currently two women represented in the FACC's Supervisory and Management Boards and top executive team. In the management levels underneath, the proportion of female executives is still quite low. Therefore, FACC continues to attend job fairs and seeks to address potential female high-performers in a targeted manner. The company is trying to attract more women to fill new management roles or to replace existing managers. However, the fact that the great majority of management positions at FACC requires a technical education is proving to be a hurdle.
The proportion of female employees within the FACC Group increased from 22% to 27% in the 2016/17 financial year.
FACC AG is committed to promoting equal opportunities at the workplace and strongly opposes any form of gender discrimination.
Each share grants shareholders one vote at the Annual General Meeting of FACC AG. Unless mandatory statutory provisions require otherwise, the Annual General Meeting shall pass resolutions by a simple majority of votes cast. Resolutions requiring equity majority are passed by a simple majority of the capital stock represented at the time when the resolution is adopted. None of the shares conveys special control rights.
In the 2016/17 financial year, no share trading transactions concluded by individuals of FACC AG subject to reporting obligations were announced.
The Supervisory Board proposed Ernst & Young Wirtschaftsprüfungs GmbH, Linz, as auditor of FACC AG's financial statements and consolidated financial statements for the 2016/17 financial year. The motion was passed with the required majority by the second Annual General Meeting held on 15 July 2016.
Total expenses for auditing services amounted to TEUR 185 for the 2016/17 financial year, (2015/16: TEUR 226). A breakdown of expenses by activity area is represented in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

bestehend aus der Bilanz zum 28. Februar 2017, der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung für das an diesem Stichtag endende Geschäftsjahr und dem Anhang, geprüft.
Nach unserer Beurteilung entspricht der beigefügte Jahresabschluss den gesetzlichen Vorschriften und vermittelt ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens- und Finanzlage zum 28.

Grundlage für das Prüfungsurteil
Wir haben unsere Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung durchgeführt. Diese Grundsätze erfordern die Anwendung der International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Unsere Verantwortlichkeiten nach diesen Vorschriften und Standards sind im Abschnitt "Verantwortlichkeiten des Abschlussprüfers für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses" unseres Bestätigungsvermerks weitergehend beschrieben. Wir sind von der Gesellschaft unabhängig in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen und berufsrechtlichen Vorschriften, und wir haben unsere sonstigen beruflichen Pflichten in Übereinstimmung mit diesen Anforderungen erfüllt. Wir sind der Auffassung, dass die von uns erlangten Prüfungsnachweise ausreichend und geeignet sind, um als Grundlage für unser Prüfungsurteil zu dienen.
Besonders wichtige Prüfungssachverhalte
Besonders wichtige Prüfungssachverhalte sind solche Sachverhalte, die nach unserem pflichtgemäßen Ermessen am bedeutsamsten für unsere Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren. Diese Sachverhalte wurden im Zusammenhang mit unserer Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses als Ganzem und bei der Bildung unseres Prüfungsurteils hierzu berücksichtigt, und wir geben kein gesondertes Prüfungsurteil zu diesen Sachverhalten ab.
Hinweis auf sonstige Sachverhalte
Der Abschluss der FACC AG, Ried im Innkreis, für das am 29. Februar 2016 endende Geschäftsjahr wurde von einem anderen Abschlussprüfer geprüft, der einen uneingeschränkten Bestätigungsvermerk zu diesem Abschluss am 20. Mai 2016 abgegeben hat.
Verantwortlichkeiten der gesetzlichen Vertreter und des Prüfungsausschusses für den Jahresabschluss
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses und dafür, dass dieser in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage der Gesellschaft vermittelt. Ferner sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter verantwortlich für die internen Kontrollen, die sie als notwendig erachten, um die Aufstellung eines Jahresabschlusses zu ermöglichen, der frei von wesentlichen - beabsichtigten oder unbeabsichtigten - falschen Darstellungen ist.
Bei der Aufstellung des Jahresabschlusses sind die gesetzlichen Vertreter dafür verantwortlich, die Fähigkeit der Gesellschaft zur Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit zu beurteilen, Sachverhalte im Zusammenhang mit der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit - sofern einschlägig - anzugeben, sowie dafür, den Rechnungslegungsgrundsatz der Fortführung der Unternehmenstätigkeit anzuwenden, es sei denn, die gesetzlichen Vertreter beabsichtigen, entweder die Gesellschaft zu liquidieren oder die Unternehmenstätigkeit einzustellen oder haben keine realistische Alternative dazu.
Der Prüfungsausschuss ist verantwortlich für die Überwachung des Rechnungslegungsprozesses der Gesellschaft.
Verantwortlichkeiten des Abschlussprüfers für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses
Unsere Ziele sind, hinreichende Sicherheit darüber zu erlangen, ob der Jahresabschluss als Ganzes frei von wesentlichen – beabsichtigten oder unbeabsichtigten – falschen Darstellungen ist, und einen Bestätigungsvermerk zu erteilen, der unser Prüfungsurteil beinhaltet. Hinreichende Sicherheit ist ein hohes Maß an Sicherheit, aber keine Garantie dafür, dass eine in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, durchgeführte Abschlussprüfung eine wesentliche falsche Darstellung, falls eine solche vorliegt, stets aufdeckt. Falsche Darstellungen können aus dolosen Handlungen oder Irrtümern resultieren und werden als wesentlich angesehen, wenn von ihnen einzeln oder insgesamt vernünftigerweise erwartet werden könnte, dass sie die auf der Grundlage dieses Jahresabschlusses getroffenen wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen von Nutzern beeinflussen.
Als Teil einer Abschlussprüfung in Übereinstimmung mit der EU-VO und mit den österreichischen Grundsätzen ordnungsmäßiger Abschlussprüfung, die die Anwendung der ISA erfordern, üben wir während der gesamten Abschlussprüfung pflichtgemäßes Ermessen aus und bewahren eine kritische Grundhaltung.
Wir bestimmen von den Sachverhalten, über die wir uns mit dem Prüfungsausschuss ausgetauscht haben, diejenigen Sachverhalte, die am bedeutsamsten für die Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses des Geschäftsjahres waren und daher die besonders wichtigen Prüfungssachverhalte sind. Wir beschreiben diese Sachverhalte in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk, es sei denn, Gesetze oder andere Rechtsvorschriften schließen die öffentliche Angabe des Sachverhalts aus oder wir bestimmen in äußerst seltenen Fällen, dass ein Sachverhalt nicht in unserem Bestätigungsvermerk mitgeteilt werden sollte, weil vernünftigerweise erwartet wird, dass die negativen Folgen einer solchen Mitteilung deren Vorteile für das öffentliche Interesse übersteigen würden.
Der Lagebericht ist auf Grund der österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften darauf zu prüfen, ob er mit dem Jahresabschluss in Einklang steht und ob er nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt wurde.
Die gesetzlichen Vertreter sind verantwortlich für die Aufstellung des Lageberichts in Übereinstimmung mit den österreichischen unternehmensrechtlichen Vorschriften.
Wir haben unsere Prüfung in Übereinstimmung mit den Berufsgrundsätzen zur Prüfung des Lageberichts durchgeführt.
Nach unserer Beurteilung ist der Lagebericht nach den geltenden rechtlichen Anforderungen aufgestellt worden, enthält zutreffende Angaben nach § 243a UGB, und steht in Einklang mit dem Jahresabschluss.
Angesichts der bei der Prüfung des Jahresabschlusses gewonnenen Erkenntnisse und des gewonnenen Verständnisses über die Gesellschaft und ihr Umfeld wurden wesentliche fehlerhafte Angaben im Lagebericht nicht festgestellt.

Prinzipien Der Jahresabschluss wurde nach den Rechnungslegungsbestimmungen des Unternehmensgesetzbuches (UGB) in der im Erstellungszeitraum geltenden Fassung und unter Berücksichtigung der Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung erstellt. Er vermittelt ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage des Unternehmens.
Bei der Erstellung des Jahresabschlusses wurden die Grundsätze der Vollständigkeit und Willkürfreiheit beachtet. Die Bewertung der einzelnen Vermögensgegenstände und Schulden folgte dem Grundsatz der Einzelbewertung und unterstellte die Fortführung des Unternehmens. Dem Vorsichtsprinzip und dem imparitätischen Realisationsprinzip wurde Rechnung getragen.
Darstellung Änderungen der Form der Darstellung gegenüber dem Vorjahr basieren auf den Rechtsfolgen des Rechnungslegungsänderungsgesetzes 2014, welches auf das vorliegende Geschäftsjahr erstmalig anzuwenden ist.
Gliederungen Die Gliederung der Bilanz und der Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung folgt den gesetzlichen Bestimmungen, insbesondere den §§ 224 und 231 UGB. Die Gewinnund Verlustrechnung wurde nach dem Gesamtkostenverfahren erstellt.
Mutterunternehmen Die FACC AG mit Sitz Ried im Innkreis stellt einen Konzernabschluss als Mutterunternehmen der FACC Operations GmbH auf, der am Firmenbuch Ried im Innkreis veröffentlicht wird. Die FACC Operations GmbH erstellt einen Teilkonzernabschluss, der unter der Firmenbuchnummer 114257a veröffentlicht wird.
Der Konsolidierungskreis der FACC AG zum 28. Februar 2017 wurde im Vergleich zum Konsolidierungskreis des Konzernabschlusses zum 29. Februar 2016 nicht verändert.
Die FACC AG befindet sich wiederum im Konsoliderungskreis der FACC International Company Ltd. mit Sitz in Hongkong (Units 1603-4, 16th Floor, Causeway Bay Plaza I, No. 489 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong), Registernummer 1394811.
Der FACC AG obliegt die Holdingfunktion. Als Muttergesellschaft der FACC Operations GmbH übernimmt sie Managementtätigkeiten und Financial Services für den Konzern. Des Weiteren übernimmt die FACC AG Finanzierungsagenden im Konzern.
Stetigkeit Die bisher angewandten Bilanzierungs- und Bewertungsmethoden wurden mit Ausnahme der Änderungen auf Grund der erstmaligen Anwendung des RÄG 2014 beibehalten; diese Änderungen auf Grund der erstmaligen Anwendung des RÄG 2014 betreffen den erstmaligen Ansatz von aktiven latenten Steuern ab 01.03.2016.
Anlagevermögen Erworbene immaterielle Vermögensgegenstände und Vermögensgegenstände des Sachanlagevermögens werden zu Anschaffungskosten aktiviert und planmäßig abgeschrieben. In Anlehnung an die steuerrechtlichen Bestimmungen wird für Zugänge im ersten Halbjahr eine volle Jahresabschreibung, für Zugänge im zweiten Halbjahr eine halbe Jahresabschreibung vorgenommen.
Geringwertige Vermögensgegenstände mit einem Betrag von bis zu EUR 400,00 werden im Jahr der Anschaffung voll abgeschrieben und im Anlagenspiegel im Anschaffungsjahr als Zu- und Abgang ausgewiesen.
Die Finanzanlagen werden zu Anschaffungskosten oder, falls ihnen ein niedrigerer Wert beizumessen ist, mit diesem angesetzt.
Forderungen und sonstige Vermögensgegenstände werden mit dem Nennwert angesetzt.
Per 30.11.2016 erfolgte unter Beiziehung eines externen Rechtsgutachters eine Neueinschätzung der für eine schriftliche, rechtsverbindliche und unwiderrufliche Einzelzusage gebildeten Pensionsrückstellung. Gemäß der Neueinschätzung wird die Pensionsrückstellung entsprechend des Rückkaufswerts der Pensionsrückdeckversicherung bewertet, da sämtliche Pensionsansprüche von dieser Versicherung gedeckt sind. Der Differenzbetrag wurde per 30.11.2016 aufgelöst.
Die im Vorjahr ausgewiesene Pensionsrückstellung für eine schriftliche, rechtsverbindliche und unwiderrufliche Einzelzusage wurde nach versicherungsmathematischen Grundsätzen nach IAS 19 unter Zugrundelegung eines Rechnungszinssatzes von 2,0 % und einer Gehaltsdynamik von 2,0 % bzw. eine Rentendynamik von 1,0 % gebildet. Dabei wurde ein Pensionsantrittszeitpunkt von 65 Jahren zugrunde gelegt. Bei der Rückstellungsberechnung wurde kein Fluktuationsabschlag berücksichtigt. Versicherungsmathematische Gewinne und Verluste wurden erfolgswirksam erfasst.
In den sonstigen Rückstellungen werden unter Beachtung des Vorsichtsprinzips alle im Zeitpunkt der Bilanzerstellung erkennbaren Risiken und der Höhe oder dem Grunde nach ungewisse Verbindlichkeiten mit jenen Beträgen berücksichtigt, die nach vernünftiger unternehmerischer Beurteilung erforderlich scheinen.
Sozialversicherungsbeiträge des Arbeitgebers und gesetzliche Lohnnebenkosten werden bei der Bewertung der Urlaubsrückstellung berücksichtigt.
Die Rückstellung für Zeitguthaben berücksichtigt die zum Bilanzstichtag offene Zeitverrechnung mit Mitarbeitern. Die Berechnung beinhaltet die anteiligen Lohnnebenkosten.
Die Berechnung der Jubiläumsgeldrückstellung erfolgt nach IAS 19. Es werden ein Rechnungszinssatz von 1,7 % (Vorjahr 2,0 %) und eine Gehaltssteigerung von 2,0 % (Vorjahr 2,0 %) pro Jahr unterstellt. Dabei wird mit einem Pensionsantrittsalter von 65 Jahren für Männer bzw. 60 Jahren für Frauen gerechnet. Bei der Berechnung der Jubiläumsgeldrückstellungen wurden Sozialversicherungsbeiträge berücksichtigt und ein Fluktuationsabschlag von 30,6 % zugrunde gelegt. Versicherungsmathematischen Gewinne und Verluste werden sofort erfolgswirksam erfasst. Der Rechnungszinssatz für Jubiläumsgeldrückstellungen wird aus dem Stichtagszinssatz basierend auf Marktzinssätzen von Unternehmen hoher Bonität abgeleitet.
Verbindlichkeiten Verbindlichkeiten werden mit ihrem Erfüllungsbetrag unter Bedachtnahme auf den Grundsatz der Vorsicht angesetzt.

Gruppenbesteuerung Mit 13./15. Februar 2012 haben die Aerospace Innovation Investment GmbH (nunmehr FACC AG) als Gruppenträgerin und die - inzwischen verschmolzene - Aero Vision Holding GmbH sowie die FACC AG (nunmehr FACC Operations GmbH) als Gruppenmitglieder mit erstmaliger Wirksamkeit für das Wirtschaftsjahr 2012 eine Gruppen- und Steuerumlagenvereinbarung gemäß den Bestimmungen des § 9 KStG abgeschlossen. Die Gruppen- und Steuerumlagevereinbarung wurde dem zuständigen Finanzamt mit Gruppenantrag vom 27.02.2012 angezeigt. Zum 28.02.2017 wurde diese Vereinbarung durch einen neuen Gruppenvertrag geändert und ersetzt:
Die Steuerumlagevereinbarung besteht grundsätzlich in der Belastungsmethode, wonach für dem Gruppenträger vom Gruppenmitglied zugerechnete positive Einkommen eine positive Steuerumlage iHv 25 % zu leisten ist. Das positive Einkommen des Gruppenmitgliedes ist mit evident gehaltenen negativen Einkommen (Verlustvortrag) des Gruppenmitgliedes auszugleichen, wobei ein eingeschränkter Verlustabzug des Gruppenträgers zu berücksichtigen ist. Erzielt das Gruppenmitglied ein negatives Einkommen ist eine negative Steuerumlage iHv 25 % zu leisten insoweit das negative Einkommen in einem zusammengefassten positiven Ergebnis des Gruppenträgers Deckung findet. Eine Vereinbarung über den Schlussausgleich von in der Gruppe noch nicht verrechnete Verlustvorträge des Gruppenmitglieds wurde getroffen.
Die FACC Operations GmbH und die FACC AG begründen seit Juni 2014 eine umsatzsteuerliche Organschaft im Sinne des § 2 Abs. 2 Z 2 UStG, wobei die FACC AG (vormals Aerospace Innovation Investment GmbH) als Gruppenträger die Umsatzsteuervoranmeldungen für die umsatzsteuerliche Organschaft abgibt.
Es bestehen keine Geschäftsbeziehungen mit nahestehenden Unternehmen oder Personen, die zu marktunüblichen Bedingungen abgeschlossen worden sind.

Um 2,2 % wuchs die Wirtschaft im Jahr 2016 weltweit. Im Vorjahr hatte das Wachstum 2,6 % betragen. Gebremst wurde die Wachstumsdynamik durch eine schwache Entwicklung der US-Konjunktur im ersten Halbjahr sowie die Rezession in Russland und Brasilien. In den Industrieländern blieb das Wachstum schwach, in den Schwellenländern stabilisierte es sich nach mehreren Jahren der Abschwächung. Die US-Konjunktur wuchs 2016 um 1,6 % nach 2,5 % im Jahr 2015, wobei das Wachstum vor allem durch den Außenhandel gestützt wurde. Investitionstätigkeit und privater Konsum erfüllten die Erwartungen hingegen nicht. In der Eurozone standen die Zeichen auf moderates Wachstum: Das Plus betrug 2016 1,7 % gegenüber 2,0 % im Jahr 2015. Begünstigt wurde diese Entwicklung von der lockeren Geldpolitik der Europäischen Zentralbank, vom weiterhin günstigen Ölpreis und von der Abwertung des Euro gegenüber anderen Währungen. Chinas Wirtschaft entwickelte sich 2016 besser als erwartet. Die Konjunktur stabilisierte sich bei 6,7 % Wachstum. Im Baugewerbe, im Einzelhandel und im Immobilienmarkt zogen die Geschäfte wieder an, aufgrund der schwachen Währung stiegen die globale Nachfrage und damit das Exportvolumen. Die schwache Konjunktur und das Überangebot drückten auf den Ölpreis. Die Energy Information Administration EIA errechnete für 2016 einen durchschnittlichen Rohölpreis der Sorte Brent in Höhe von 43 USD pro Barrel. Ende September 2016 einigten sich die 14 OPEC-Staaten auf Maßnahmen zur Marktstabilisierung, um das Überangebot abzubauen und damit das Preisniveau anzuheben.
Die Luftfahrtbranche wurde 2016 von verschiedenen Faktoren beeinflusst: Politische Instabilität beeinträchtigte das Wachstum, das in den einzelnen Weltregionen sehr unterschiedlich ausfiel. Vor allem auf Verbindungen zwischen Europa und Asien hielt die Nachfrageschwäche an, während sich die Märkte Afrikas, der USA und Osteuropas erholten. Das globale Passagieraufkommen wuchs 2016 um 6,3 %. In Asien stieg die Nachfrage um 8,9 %, in Nordamerika um 3,2 % und in Europa um 3,8 %.
Stimuliert wurde die Nachfrage von niedrigen Ticketpreisen – eine Reaktion der Fluggesellschaften auf sinkende Treibstoffkosten und auf wachsenden Wettbewerbsdruck. Aufgrund der steigenden Passagierzahlen erweiterten die Airlines ihre Flotten: Die weltweite Flotte wuchs 2016 um 5,2 %.
Nach Angaben des Internationalen Luftverkehrsverbands IATA erzielten die Fluggesellschaften 2016 Rekordeinnahmen. Der Nettogewinn der Branche erreichte 35,6 Mrd. USD, nach 35,3 Mrd. USD im Jahr 2015. Hintergrund ist vor allem der niedrige Ölpreis. Laut EIA dürfte dieser noch bis in das Jahr 2020 hinein unter 60 USD pro Barrel liegen. Darüber hinaus setzten die Fluggesellschaften effizientere Flugzeuge ein und profitierten von den Erfolgen, die Umstrukturierungsmaßnahmen der vergangenen Jahre zeitigten.
Airbus und Boeing lieferten 2016 1.436 Flugzeuge aus; 2015 waren es 1.397 gewesen. Im gleichen Zeitraum wurden von Boeing und Airbus 1.419 neue Flugzeuge verkauft, womit sich die Book - to - Bill Ratio annähernd auf 1:1 belief. Der Auftragsbestand für Flugzeuge mit mehr als 100 Sitzen blieb mit 13.442 auf dem Niveau des Jahresendes 2015.
Das Verkehrsaufkommen in der Luftfahrzeugindustrie dürfte aus heutiger Sicht weiterhin stabil wachsen. Die letzten Marktvorschauen von Airbus und Boeing gehen von einer erneuten Verdoppelung des Verkehrsaufkommens in den kommenden 20 Jahren aus. Laut einer Analyse von Airbus und Boeing wird der Bedarf an neuen Flugzeugen nach heutigen Abwägungen bis zum Jahr 2035 rund 36.300 betragen.
Als wesentliche Faktoren sind in diesem Zusammenhang steigende Reisetätigkeiten in China, Indien, den USA sowie in Europa zu nennen. Die Reisetätigkeit je Einwohner wird sich in den Wachstumsmärkten China und Indien bis zum Jahr 2035 vervierfachen. Die bereits stark ausgeprägte Reisetätigkeit in den Regionen USA und Europa wird bis zum Jahr 2035 um ca. 20 % ansteigen.
Der FACC AG obliegt die Holdingfunktion. Als Muttergesellschaft der FACC Operations GmbH übernimmt sie Managementtätigkeiten und Financial Services für den Konzern. Des Weiteren übernimmt die FACC AG Finanzierungsagenden im Konzern.
Der FACC-Konzern mit Sitz in Ried im Innkreis ist ein österreichischer Konzern, der sich mit der Entwicklung, Produktion und Wartung von Luftfahrtbauteilen befasst.
Seine Produktpalette umfasst "Strukturbauteile" (Verkleidungsteile an Rumpf und Leitwerk, Triebwerksverkleidungsteile und Composite-Teile für Triebwerke, Flügelteile und Flügelspitzen) sowie Komponenten für die Innenausstattung von Flugzeugen (Gepäckablagefächer, Innenraumverkleidungen, Service-Einheiten etc.).
Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Anwendungen, denen die Produkte dienen, wurden drei operative Segmente gebildet. Das Segment "Aerostructures" ist für die Entwicklung, die Fertigung und den Vertrieb von Strukturbauteilen verantwortlich, das Segment "Interiors" für die Entwicklung, die Fertigung und den Vertrieb von Innenausstattungen und das Segment "Engines & Nacelles" für die Fertigung und den Vertrieb von Triebwerksbauteilen. Nach Abschluss der Kundenverträge und der Auftragsabwicklung werden die einzelnen Aufträge in den fünf Werken des Konzerns gefertigt. Neben den drei operativen Segmenten umfasst das Gesamtunternehmen noch die zentralen Dienste Finanzen und Controlling, Personal, Qualitätssicherung, Einkauf und EDV (einschließlich Engineering-Services). Die zentralen Dienste unterstützen die operativen Segmente im Sinne einer Matrixorganisation bei der Erfüllung ihrer Aufgaben.
Das abgelaufene Geschäftsjahr kann als Jahr der Weichenstellung gesehen werden. Zum Beginn des Jahres stand die Aufarbeitung des Fake President Incident und der daraus resultierenden Veränderungen im Fokus des Managements. Oberstes Ziel war es für Stabilität und Nachhaltigkeit zu sorgen, die vakanten Managementpositionen zu besetzen und parallel dazu die Umsetzung der festgelegten Konzernziele konzentriert voranzutreiben. In Betrachtung des Marktes wurden zahlreiche Serienstarts im Geschäftsjahr erfolgreichumgesetzt, der Hochlauf verschiedener Projekte in allen Segmenten planmäßig vorangetrieben und daraus resultierend ein Umsatzwachstum von über 20% erzielt. Durch gezielte Investitionen wurde sowohl die Kapazität als auch unsere Effizienz gesteigert. Besonders erfreulich ist im Umfeld der Umstände die deutliche Verbesserung des Konzernergebnisses, das das um Sondereffekte bereinigte EBIT konnte um nahezu die Hälfte gesteigert werden. Die weltweit langfristig steigende Nachfrage an neuen Flugzeugen, die letzten Langzeitanalysen bestätigen den Bedarf von über 36.300 neuen Verkehrsflugzeugen bis zum Jahr 2035, ergeben unter den heutigen Prognosen eine FACC Auftragsrücklage von über 5 Milliarden USD. Wir haben auf Basis der vorhandenen Marktvorschauen und der von uns vorangetriebenen Innovationsstrategie gute Voraussetzungen die Position der FACC AG als globaler Tier 1 Partner der Luftfahrzeugindustrie weiter zu festigen.

Im Zuge einer Stichprobenprüfung der Österreichischen Prüfstelle für Rechnungslegung (OePR) wurden der Konzernabschluss zum 29. Februar 2016 sowie die Halbjahresfinanzberichte zum 31. August 2015 und 31. August 2016 der FACC AG ausgewählt und einer Prüfung gemäß § 2 Abs. 1 Z. 2 Rechnungslegungs-Kontrollgesetz (Prüfung ohne besonderen Anlass) unterzogen. Im September 2016 wurde die FACC AG von der Finanzmarktaufsicht (FMA) informiert, dass sie das gegenständliche Verfahren selbst durchführen wird.
Das Verfahren war zum Zeitpunkt der Veröffentlichung des Konzernabschlusses im Juni 2017 nicht abgeschlossen. Wir verweisen auf die Erläuterungen unter Note 2im Anhang.
Im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 erzielte der FACC-Konzern einen Umsatz in Höhe von 705,7 Mio. EUR und verzeichnete damit einen Anstieg von 125,5 Mio. EUR oder 21,6 % gegenüber dem Vorjahr.
Die Umsatzerlöse aus Produktlieferungen konnten um 24,6 % auf 646,1 Mio. EUR gesteigert werden. Wesentliche Treiber im Bereich der Produktumsätze bildeten im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 die Programme für die Airbus-A320-Familie, den Airbus A350 XWB, die Boeings 737 und 787 sowie für Bombardier und Embraer Business Jets. Alle weiteren Programme, darunter auch sämtliche Komponenten für die Ausstattungen von Triebwerken der Hersteller Rolls-Royce und Pratt & Whitney, haben sich entsprechend den Planungen des FACC-Managements entwickelt und zum Wachstum des Konzerns beigetragen.
Die Umsatzerlöse aus der Verrechnung von Entwicklungsleistungen blieben konstant.
Der Materialaufwand erhöhte sich im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 um 66,1 Mio. EUR von 376,9 Mio. EUR auf 443,0 Mio. EUR. Der Anstieg steht im Zusammenhang mit dem deutlichen gestiegenen Produktionsumsatz um 24,6 %. Im Materialaufwand sind auch Aufwendungen für Leiharbeitskräfte in Höhe 15,6 Mio. EUR enthalten (2015/16: 2,8 Mio. EUR). Dieser deutliche Anstieg steht ausschließlich im Zusammenhang mit der unterjährigen Hereinnahmen von Arbeitskräften zur Abdeckung von Produktionsspitzen im Segment Interiors.
Die Materialquote (Materialaufwand/Umsatzerlöse) reduzierte sich gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 2,2 Prozentpunkte auf 62,8 % (2015/16: 65,0 %).
Der Personalaufwand des Konzerns erhöhte sich 2016/17 um 14,7 Mio. EUR von 158,5 Mio. EUR auf 173,2 Mio. EUR. Die Personalquote des Konzerns (Personalaufwand/Umsatzerlöse) reduzierte sich gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 2,8 Prozentpunkte auf 24,5 %. Diese Reduktion ist das Ergebnis laufender Effizienzsteigerungen im Zusammenhang mit Lernkurveneffekten und Ratensteigerungen in wesentlichen Programmen.
Das Ergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) betrug im abgelaufenen Geschäftsjahr 26,9 Mio. EUR (2015/16: –58,8 Mio. EUR). Im EBIT der Vorjahresperiode ist der Schadensfall aus dem "Fake President Incident" in Höhe von 41,9 Mio. EUR in den sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen verbucht.
Zentrales Ziel des Finanzmanagements ist es, jederzeit die ausreichende Liquidität des Konzerns sicherzustellen, finanzielle Risiken zu vermeiden und die finanzielle Flexibilität zu sichern. Zur Sicherung der Liquidität und zur Verringerung von Risiken nutzt FACC verschiedene interne und externe Finanzierungsquellen mit unterschiedlichen Fristigkeiten. Die längerfristige Liquiditätsprognose erfolgt auf Basis der operativen Planung des Konzerns. Der Mittelzufluss aus der operativen Geschäftstätigkeit der Geschäftssegmente stellt die Hauptliquiditätsquelle des Konzerns dar. Dadurch werden der externe Finanzierungsbedarf und die Zinsaufwendungen reduziert. Zur Sicherung der Liquidität nutzt FACC zudem verschiedene Finanzierungsinstrumente wie Anleihen, Schuldscheindarlehen, Kreditvereinbarungen sowie Leasingmodelle.
In den Treasury-Grundsätzen sind die Bankpolitik, die Genehmigung von Bankbeziehungen, Finanzierungsvereinbarungen, das Liquiditäts- und Finanzanlagenmanagement sowie das Management von Währungs- und Zinsrisiken geregelt. Gemäß den Grundsätzen des Konzerns werden die Kreditlinien durch die Treasury-Abteilung konzernweit verwaltet.
Zum Finanzierungspotenzial aus dem genehmigten und bedingten Kapital sowie zu den Finanzierungsquellen wird auf die Erläuterungen im Anhang unter "A I." verwiesen. Damit hat FACC die wesentlichen Voraussetzungen für eine nachhaltige und stabile Finanzierung geschaffen.
Eine der zentralen Steuerungsgrößen von FACC ist die Kennzahl Free Cashflow. Den Free Cashflow ermittelt FACC aus der Kombination der Cashflows aus operativerTätigkeit und aus Investitionstätigkeit.

| Finanzmittelbestand am Beginn der Periode | 56,2 | 111,0 | 51,0 |
| Finanzmittelbestand am Ende der Periode | 48,3 | 56,2 | 111,0 |
Der Cashflow aus operativerTätigkeit lag im Berichtsjahr 2016/17 mit 20,0 Mio. EUR um 29,3 Mio. EUR über dem Vorjahreswert von –9,3 Mio. EUR. Treiber dieser positiven Entwicklung im Berichtsjahr war insbesondere die positive Umsatz- und Ergebnisentwicklung des Konzerns.
Der Cashflow aus Investitionstätigkeit beliefen sich im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 auf –34,4 Mio. EUR gegenüber –50,9 Mio. EUR im Vorjahreszeitraum.
Hauptreiber bei den Projektinvestitionen waren die Entwicklungs- und Werkzeugkosten für die Flugzeugtypen Airbus A350-1000, Embraer E2 Jets, Comac C919 Interior sowie Investitionen in verschiede Werkzeugduplikationen zur Absicherung zukünftiger Fertigungsraten.
Die Sachanlageinvestitionen stehen im Wesentlichen im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausbau der Produktionskapazitäten an den österreichischen Standorten Werk 1, Ried, Werk 2, St. Martin und Werk 4, Reichersberg, für die neu anlaufenden Programme sowie zur Unterstützung von steigender steigenden Abrufen im Rahmen bestehender Projekte. Während des Geschäftsjahres wurden insbesondere Neuinvestitionen in Anlagen zur Kapazitätserweiterung durchgeführt sowie Investitionen in zusätzliche Automatisierungsmaßnahmen, Optimierungen bei bestehenden Produktionsanlagen und der Infrastruktur umgesetzt sowie darüber hinaus laufende Erhaltungsinvestitionen durchgeführt.
Im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 lag der Cashflow aus Finanzierungstätigkeit bei 6,0 Mio. EUR (2015/16: 3,9 Mio. EUR). Im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 lag der Mittelzufluss aus Finanzierungstätigkeit bei 24,6 Mio. EUR (2015/16: 21,9 Mio. EUR).
Im Wesentlichen standen den Einzahlungen Mittelabflüsse aus der Rückzahlung von Finanzkrediten in Höhe von 7,8 Mio. EUR und aus der Auszahlung aus Zinsen von Finanzkrediten und Anleihen in Höhe von 10,9 Mio. EUR gegenüber.

Das langfristige Vermögen reduzierte sich gegenüber dem Bilanzstichtag am 29. Februar 2016 nur geringfügig um 0,9 Mio. EUR auf 352,7 Mio. EUR.
Das kurzfristige Vermögen des Konzerns erhöhte sich im Vergleichszeitraum um 16,6 Mio. EUR. Zum einen erhöhten sich hier aufgrund des deutlich Anstiegs der Produktumsätze die Forderungen sowie die Vorräte, zum Anderen verringerte sich der Bestand an liquiden Mitteln zum Bilanzstichtag am 28. Februar 2017 um 7,9 Mio. EUR auf 48,3 Mio. EUR.
Das Eigenkapital des FACC-Konzerns erreichte per Ende des Berichtsjahres einen Wert von 284,0 Mio. EUR. Dies entspricht einer Eigenkapitalquote von 41,7 % (29. Februar 2016: 40,2 %).
Innerhalb der langfristigen Schulden reduzierten sich die sonstigen Finanzverbindlichkeiten um 7,6 Mio. EUR auf 67,6 Mio. EUR. Der langfristige Ausweis des Schuldscheins reduzierte aufgrund der Klassifizierung der Tranche "Schuldscheindarlehen 2012 bis 2017" als kurzfristige Schulden um 8,0 Mio. EUR auf 34,0 Mio. EUR.
Innerhalb der kurzfristigen Schulden reduzierten sich die Verbindlichkeiten aus Lieferungen und Leistungen um 12,9 Mio. EUR auf 59,8 Mio. EUR. Die sonstigen Finanzverbindlichkeiten erhöhten sich um 24,7 Mio. EUR auf 46,3 Mio. EUR.
Der Umsatz im Bereich Aerostructures betrug im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 331,0 Mio. EUR (2015/16: 269,2 Mio. EUR.). Die Umsätze aus Produktlieferungen erhöhten sich um 72,7 Mio. EUR oder 31,0 % deutlich auf 303,9 Mio. EUR. Die Umsätze aus Entwicklungstätigkeiten reduzierten sich im Berichtszeitraum um 28,0 % von zuvor 38,1 Mio. EUR auf 27,1 Mio. EUR.
Das Ergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) im Bereich Aerostructures betrug im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 51,2 Mio. EUR (2015/16 bereinigt um Einmaleffekte von 19,5 Mio. EUR: 27,9 Mio. EUR.).
Die positive Entwicklung im Bereich Aerostructures ist wesentlich beeinflusst durch die steigende Nachfrage nach Komponenten für den Airbus A350 und die weiteren Ratenhochläufe von Airbus-A320- und Airbus-A321-Produkten. Bei Neuprojekten wie jenen für die Bombardier C-Series oder die Embrear E2 Jets begann im abgelaufenen Geschäftsjahr die Serienfertigung, was in den kommenden Perioden zu zusätzlichem Wachstum des Segments Aerostructures führen dürfte.
Der Umsatz des Bereichs Engines & Nacelles erreichte im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 142,0 Mio. EUR (2015/16: 113,8 Mio. EUR.). Das entspricht einer Steigerung von 24,8 %. Die Umsätze aus Produktlieferungen stiegen um 25,5 % von 105,4 Mio. EUR auf 133,8 Mio. EUR. Die Umsätze aus Entwicklungstätigkeiten blieben konstant bei 8,2 Mio. EUR (2015/16: 8,4 Mio. EUR.).
Das Ergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) im Bereich Engines & Nacelles betrug im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 –11,9 Mio. EUR (2015/16 bereinigt um Einmaleffekte von 8,2 Mio. EUR: –20,8 Mio. EUR).
Die Entwicklung im Bereich Nacelles bleibt weiterhin positiv beeinflusst durch das Hochlaufen der Serienproduktion für das Projekt A350 Translating Sleeve (TRSL). Weiters profitiert das Segment durch konstant steigende Nachfrage nach Komponenten für die Flugzeugtriebwerke der Airbus-A320neo-Flugzeugfamilie. Mit der Erstauslieferung der neuen Produkte für den Airbus A330neo wurden wesentliche Meilensteine für die zukünftige Entwicklung des Segments erfolgreich gesetzt.
Der Bereich Engine Composites entwickelte sich erneut positiv. Auch für den Bereich Engine Composites sind die Projekte Airbus A350 Trent XWB sowie PW800 Bypass Ducts maßgeblich für die planmäßige Geschäftsentwicklung.
In der Division Engines & Nacelles konnte der Ergebnisbeitrag der Engine-Programme gesteigert werden. Demgegenüber belastete in den Nacelles-Programmen der Hochlauf des Projekts A350 TRSL die Ertragslage der Division. Temporäre Mehrkosten für Personal zur Absicherung der Ratensteigerungen sowie erhöhte Frachtkosten wirkten vor allem in der ersten Jahreshälfte belastend auf die Ertragslage. Mit voranschreitender Serienfertigung und den erfolgreich eingeführten Maßnahmen konnte mit Beginn des dritten Quartals 2016 ein ausgeglichenes Ergebnis im Segment erreicht werden.
Der Umsatz im Bereich Interiors belief sich im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 auf 232,8 Mio. EUR (2015/16: 197,2 Mio. EUR). Damit konnte die Division erneut eine deutliche Steigerung gegenüber dem Vorjahr erzielen. Insgesamt betrug der Produktumsatz 2016/17 208,5 Mio. EUR (2015/16: 183,1 Mio. EUR). Das erzielte Wachstum um 13,7 % beruht fast ausschließlich auf den neuen Programmen Airbus A350. Die Umsätze der bestehenden Serienprogramme für Airbus A320, Suchoi Superjet 100 und Embraer Phenom 300 sowie Bombardier C350 blieben stabil. Die Umsätze aus den Business-Jet-Programmen Embrarer Legacy 450 und 500 waren leicht rückläufig.
Die Umsätze aus Entwicklungstätigkeiten erhöhten sich um 72,6 % auf 24,3 Mio. EUR nach 14,1 Mio. EUR im Vorjahr. Mehreinnahmen bei der Entwicklung resultieren im Wesentlichen aus der Abwicklung des Konfigurationsmanagements im Bereich Kabinenausstattung für den Airbus A350, den erhöhten Rückflüssen an Entwicklungskosten in Verbindung mit den steigenden Produktionsraten für den Airbus A350 sowie Engineering-Serviceleistungen im Zuge der Entwicklung neuer Passagierkabinenkonzepte für die Xi'an MA700.
Das Ergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) des Bereichs Interiors betrug im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 –12,4 Mio. EUR (2015/16 bereinigt um Einmaleffekte von 14,2 Mio. EUR: –23,9 Mio. EUR).
Die Ertragslage des Bereichs Interiors war im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 weiterhin von anlaufenden Airbus-A350-Neuprojekten beeinflusst. Mehrkosten im Fertigungsumfeld wurden vor allem von der Aufstockung des Mitarbeiterstands durch temporäres Leihpersonal verursacht. Die Herstellungskosten im Bereich der Business-Jet-Fertigung konnten hingegen im Vergleich zum Vorjahr planmäßig reduziert werden.
Der FACC AG obliegt die Holdingfunktion. Als Muttergesellschaft der FACC Operations GmbH übernimmt sie Managementtätigkeiten und Financial Services für den Konzern. Zahlenangaben für den Einzelabschluss der FACC AG erfolgen nach UGB, jene für den FACC AG Konzern nach IFRS.
Die Umsatzerlöse von 4,0 Mio. EUR im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 (Geschäftsjahr 2015/16: 3,0 Mio. EUR) resultieren aus Verrechnungen aus Managementleistungen gegenüber der FACC Operations GmbH.
Der Anstieg der sonstigen betrieblichen Aufwendungen um 2,3 Mio. EUR auf 4,6 Mio. EUR im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 beruht im Wesentlichen auf Kosten für die Aufarbeitung eines Schadensfalles aus dem Geschäftsjahr 2015/16 ("Fake President Incident").
Die FACC AG erzielte im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 einen Jahresüberschuss von 4,0 Mio. EUR (Geschäftsjahr 2015/16: 1,9 Mio. EUR).
Das Eigenkapital beläuft sich auf 272,5 Mio. EUR gegenüber 268,4 Mio. EUR in der Vorjahresperiode. Die Eigenkapitalquote der FACC AG zum Bilanzstichtag 28. Februar 2017 beträgt 95 % (Geschäftsjahr 2015/16: 95 %)
FACC ist im Unternehmensalltag fallweise mit unvorhersehbar eintretenden Situationen konfrontiert, die potenziell negative Auswirkungen haben können. Um darauf entsprechend vorbereitet zu sein bzw. kontrolliert auf solche Situationen reagieren zu können, hat FACC ein konzernweites Risikomanagementsystem etabliert.
Primäre Aufgabe des Risikomanagementsystems ist es, alle Risiken in sämtlichen Bereichen des Unternehmens zu identifizieren, zu beurteilen und zu minimieren. Damit sollen die Pläne strategisch wie auch operativ entsprechend umgesetzt und der Fortbestand des Unternehmens entsprechend abgesichert werden.
Die unmittelbare Verantwortung für das Risikomanagement liegt bei dem jeweiligen Risk Owner. Der Director Risk Management berichtet direkt dem Vorstand, bei dem die Gesamtverantwortung für das Risikomanagement liegt.
Im Rahmen des Risikomanagementprozesses werden sowohl die eingetretenen als auch mögliche zukünftige Risiken kontinuierlich durch die operativen Einheiten überwacht, bewertet und zweimal jährlich im Zuge der Management Reviews an den Vorstand berichtet. Außergewöhnliche Ereignisse werden umgehend dem zuständigen Risk Owner bzw. dem Director Risk Management mitgeteilt. Dieser entscheidet, ob eine sofortige Meldung an den Vorstand erforderlich ist. Der Vorstand wiederum informiert den Aufsichtsrat in seinen Sitzungen. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass wesentliche Risiken frühzeitig erkannt und Maßnahmen zur Gegensteuerung bzw. Eingrenzung der Risiken getroffen werden.
Nach Einschätzung des Vorstands sind die heute erkennbaren möglichen Risiken überschauund beherrschbar und stellen damit keine existenzielle Gefahr für das Unternehmen dar.
Ausgehend von Marktbeobachtungen und -analysen wird ein Businessplan mit einer Planungsperiode von fünf Jahren erstellt. Dieser definiert die grundsätzliche Strategie des Unternehmens und wird vom Aufsichtsrat geprüft. Aus diesem jährlich aktualisierten Plan leiten sich die konkreten Ziele für das jeweilige Geschäftsjahr ab.
Kurzfristige Veränderungen des Marktes stellen hier das größte Risiko dar, ebenso ist der Erfolg in der Umsetzung durch äußere Faktoren, die oftmals kaum beeinflusst werden können, immer wieder gefährdet.
Das Management von FACC ist dafür verantwortlich, die konsequente Umsetzung zu verfolgen bzw. auf kurzfristige Veränderungen rasch und im Sinne der festgelegten Strategie zu reagieren. Dabei ist sicherzustellen, dass die strategische Ausrichtung ebenso weiter beachtet wird wie die geplanten Umsatz- und Ergebnisziele.
Die Fertigungsstätten und -anlagen des Unternehmens werden kontinuierlich instandgehalten und gewartet, sodass das Risiko von Betriebsstörungen oder längeren Produktionsausfällen gering ist. Das Betriebsunterbrechungsrisiko ist außerdem durch eine Betriebsunterbrechungsversicherung mit einer Haftungszeit von 24 Monaten versichert.
Hier erfolgt das Risikomanagement durch die Treasury-Abteilung des Konzerns, die direkt an den Vorstand berichtet. Die Treasury-Abteilung bewertet und sichert finanzielle Risiken in enger Zusammenarbeit mit den operativen Geschäftsbereichen. Zur Absicherung der ermittelten Finanzrisiken werden neben strukturierten operativen Maßnahmen auch gängige derivative Finanzinstrumente eingesetzt.
Das Zinsänderungsrisiko – die mögliche wertmäßige Schwankung von Finanzinstrumenten aufgrund von Änderungen der Marktzinssätze bzw. Änderungen künftiger Cash Flows – entsteht in Zusammenhang mit mittel- und langfristigen Forderungen und Verbindlichkeiten (insbesondere Finanzverbindlichkeiten). Dabei wird darauf geachtet, dass ein Großteil des Zinsänderungsrisikos durch den Einsatz von fest verzinslichen Finanzverbindlichkeiten und gängigen derivativen Finanzinstrumenten reduziert wird.
Transaktionen in der Luftfahrtindustrie werden fast ausschließlich in US-Dollar (USD) abgewickelt. Ein Großteil der Aufwendungen ist in USD fakturiert. Die übrigen Aufwendungen fallen hauptsächlich in Euro an.
Zur Absicherung der Währungsrisiken wird durch die Treasury-Abteilung eine laufende Überwachung aller Transaktions- und Umrechnungsrisiken durchgeführt. Zur generellen Reduktion des USD-Risikos werden Einkäufe mittlerweile zu rund 96 % in USD abgewickelt, sodass so genanntes "Natural Hedging" entsteht.
Zur Absicherung der verbleibenden offenen USD-Positionen (Nettowährungsposition) werden derivative Finanzinstrumente (Devisentermingeschäfte) eingesetzt. Der Einsatz von derivativen Finanzinstrumenten reduziert das Risiko von Wechselkursschwankungen deutlich.
Das Projektmanagement von FACC ist dafür verantwortlich, die vom Management festgelegten Ziele in Form von Projekten umzusetzen. Projekte werden dabei dahingehend unterschieden, ob FACC Entwicklungsverantwortung übernimmt oder nicht. Jeder Vertrag ist auf seine Umsetzbarkeit zu prüfen, die mit dem Projekt verbundenen Risiken werden identifiziert, beurteilt und während der Abarbeitung genauestens beobachtet und analysiert, um – wenn erforderlich – notwendige Maßnahmen einleiten und umsetzen zu können. Die bedeutsamsten Risiken bilden dabei die Verfügbarkeit von Ressourcen aller Art (Manpower, Equipment, Materialien etc.) sowie äußere Faktoren, die entweder über die Schnittstellen im Unternehmen oder von außen an das Projektteam herangetragen werden können.
Das Unternehmen verfolgt eine strenge Kreditpolitik. Die Kreditwürdigkeit bestehender Kunden wird laufend überprüft, Neukunden werden einer Kreditbewertung unterzogen. Für eventuell eintretende Zahlungsausfälle werden nach eingehender Beurteilung des Risikos Einzelwertberichtigungen auf Forderungen vorgenommen.
Der Bereich Einkauf führt regelmäßig Risk Assessments der Zulieferer durch, um Gefährdungspotenziale und Risiken frühzeitig zu erkennen und damit die Prioritäten für die Planung und Durchführung von Audits festlegen zu können bzw. um den Entscheidungsprozess bei der Vergabe von neuen Aufträgen zu unterstützen. Bei der Auswahl neuer Lieferanten wird die Abteilung Procurement Quality Assurance (PQA) eingebunden. Sie stellt sicher, dass die erforderlichen Qualifikationen und Zulassungen vorhanden sind und keine erkennbaren Risiken bestehen. Zu Beginn neuer Projekte wird durch verpflichtende Erstmusterprüfung bei den Lieferanten das Produktrisiko reduziert. Die kontinuierliche qualitätsgerechte und termingetreue Belieferung mit Materialien sowie Halb- und Fertigerzeugnissen wird regelmäßig über SAP bewertet. Diese Bewertung ist ebenfalls Bestandteil des Risk Assessments. Abweichungen – sowohl der Bauteilqualität als auch der Lieferperformance – werden systematisch erfasst, analysiert, bewertet und mit definierten Zielen verglichen. Auffälligkeiten werden im Zuge der Management Reviews an den Vorstand berichtet.
Die vom Unternehmen konstruierten und hergestellten Produkte sind für den Einbau in Luftfahrzeuge oder in Triebwerke bestimmt. Fehler oder Funktionsmängel der hergestellten Produkte können mittelbar oder unmittelbar Eigentum, Gesundheit oder Leben Dritter beeinträchtigen. Die dauerhafte Sicherheit hat damit höchste Priorität. FACC ist nicht in der Lage, ihre Haftung gegenüber Kunden, Konsumenten oder Dritten in Absatzverträgen zu reduzieren oder auszuschließen. Jedes Produkt, das im Unternehmen entwickelt und/oder hergestellt wird und das Unternehmen verlassen soll, durchläuft daher qualifizierte Kontrollen hinsichtlich seiner Funktion und Qualität.
Bei Projekten, bei denen FACC Entwicklungsverantwortung trägt, besteht aufgrund der Möglichkeit von Konstruktionsfehlern ein höheres Risiko, das jedoch durch systematisches Handeln minimiert wird. Regelmäßige Kontrollschritte in allen Stadien der Entwicklung reduzieren hier Risiken frühzeitig. FACC betreibt zudem ein Archivierungssystem für vertraglich festgelegte und auch individuell darüber hinaus gehende Qualitätsaufzeichnungen (Quality Records). Damit wird nachgewiesen, dass Leistungen und Produkte entsprechend definierten und vom Kunden bzw. von der/den Luftfahrtbehörde/n freigegebenen Vorgaben ausgeführt wurden.
Obwohl das Produkthaftungsrisiko angemessen versichert ist, kann es im Fall von Qualitätsproblemen zu negativen Auswirkungen auf die Vermögens-, Finanz- und Ertragslage des Unternehmens kommen.
FACC investiert laufend in Forschung und Entwicklung, um die Geschäftsbeziehungen zu ihren Kunden zu stärken und neue Geschäftsfelder zu erschließen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf proprietärer Eigenentwicklung, um das generierte Wissen für alle derzeitigen und zukünftigen Kunden des Unternehmens einsetzen zu können, jedoch werden auch Kooperationen mit Kunden zur Optimierung von Produkten eingegangen.
Im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 wendete FACC 10,0 Mio. EUR bzw. 1,4 % ihres Umsatzes für Grundlagenforschung und Vorentwicklung auf. Darüber hinaus wurden in Verbindung mit Kunden zusätzliche Auftragsentwicklungen durchgeführt – Aufwendung aus diesen Projekten konnten an die Entwicklungspartner weiterverrechnet werden.
Die konsequente Ausrichtung auf Technologieentwicklung bildet den Grundstein für kommerziellen Markterfolg. Steigendem Wettbewerb, insbesondere durch Mitbewerber in Niedriglohnländern, lässt sich nur durch optimierte Prozesse und innovative Produkte begegnen.
Aus Sicht des Unternehmens bildet aktive Forschung und Innovation eine Grundvoraussetzung, um die führende Position von FACC als Entwicklungspartner und Systemlieferant ihrer Kunden beizubehalten. Da FACC oft mit geschützten Kundenpatenten und -prozessen arbeitet, helfen Eigenentwicklungen, bestehende Aufträge zu sichern und neue Geschäftsfelder zu erschließen. In einem starken Netzwerk aus Kunden, Zulieferern und wissenschaftlichen Partnern entwickelt FACC neue Technologien für die Anwendung in zukünftigen Serienaufträgen.
Das abgelaufene Geschäftsjahr zeigte aus Entwicklungssicht weiterhin sehr positive Ergebnisse. So wurde der Serienanlauf der Airbus A330 Fan Cowl Doors umgesetzt und Strukturbauteile für die COMAC C919 und die Embraer E2 in die Testphase gebracht. Die gute Marktposition von FACC als Hersteller von Winglets konnte durch Neuentwicklungen für die COMAC C919, die Embraer E2 sowie die Airbus-Modelle A320neo und A350 bestätigt werden.
Langfristige Ziele in der Entwicklung liegen derzeit verstärkt auch im Bereich Automatisierung und Produktionsprozessverbesserungen. So wurden im vergangenen Geschäftsjahr neue Fertigungsverfahren für hohe und höchste Stückzahlen entwickelt, die weiterhin eine hohe Auslastung der bestehenden Werke garantieren sollen. In Kombination mit einer Offensive im Bereich Industrie 4.0 arbeiten Forschung & Entwicklung, Produktionsplanung und Fertigung Hand in Hand am Konzept einer "virtuellen Fabrik", um Stoffströme zu optimieren und die Fertigungszeiten weiter zu verkürzen.
Die Entwicklung eines völlig neuartigen Prüfverfahrens für Composite-Bauteile wurde im Geschäftsjahr 2106/17 zum Abschluss gebracht. FACC ist derzeit weltweit das einzige von Boeing qualifizierte Unternehmen, das diese neue Technologie im Serienbetrieb einsetzen darf. Die Vorteile dieser Entwicklung von FACC liegen in der signifikanten Reduktion der Prüfzeiten sowie in erheblichen Einsparungen bei zukünftigen Anlagenkosten. Weitere Kundenqualifikationen befinden sich in Umsetzung und sollen in den kommenden Perioden zum Abschluss gebracht werden.
FACC strebt weitgehende Unabhängigkeit in ihrem Prozessportfolio an, um ihre Technologieführerschaft im Composite-Bereich weiter auszubauen. Darüber hinaus wird das Bauteilportfolio des Unternehmens sukzessive erweitert, um neue Absatzmöglichkeiten zu erschließen. Beide Wachstumsfelder werden durch eine erweiterte Patentstrategie flankiert, die auf den größtmöglichen Schutz des intellektuellen Eigentums abzielt.
Im vergangenen Jahr wurden insgesamt elf neue Patentfamilien angemeldet, darunter neue Fertigungstechnologien, leichte Gepäckablagesysteme, mechanische Anlenkungen und Spoilertechnologien. Insgesamt hält FACC 53 Patentfamilien.
Die Technologieoffensive, die FACC in den letzten Jahren gestartet hatte, beginnt nun, die erwarteten positiven Effekte zu zeigen. FACC ist im Markt als innovativer Entwicklungspartner gut etabliert und wird als Technologiebenchmark in verschiedenen Bereichen genannt. Technologische Abstimmungen mit den Hauptkunden des Unternehmens finden laufend und im Zuge von gemeinsam umgesetzten Projekten statt.
Zum Stichtag am 28. Februar 2017 betrug der Mitarbeiterstand der FACC AG 3.393 Vollzeitäquivalente (FTE). Bedingt durch das starke Umsatzwachstum stieg auch der Mitarbeiterstand im Vergleich zum Vorjahr um 11 %. Bei den Angestellten gab es dabei einen leichten Anstieg um 5 %, bei den Arbeitern ein Plus von 14 %.
In Österreich waren zum 28. Februar 2017 3.171,1 FTE beschäftigt. Dies entspricht rund 93 % der gesamten Belegschaft des Konzerns. Der Frauenanteil liegt bei 22,2 %.

| FACC AG | – | 20 | 20 |
| Summe | 2.322 | 1.070 | 3.393 |
Zur Abdeckung der notwendigen Serienhochläufe waren im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 zusätzlich bis zu 320 Leasingkräfte in der Produktion eingesetzt. Mit Stichtag am 28. Februar 2017 reduzierte sich der Stand auf 103 Leasingkräfte.
Die Internationalität von FACC spiegelt sich auch in der Mitarbeiterstruktur wider. An den österreichischen Standorten sind Mitarbeiter aus 38 Nationen aller Kontinente beschäftigt. 56 % der Belegschaft haben die österreichische Staatsbürgerschaft, 22 % kommen aus Deutschland.
Um ihre Attraktivität als Arbeitgeber sowie die Mitarbeiterbindung weiter zu verbessern, hat FACC ihre umfassende Employer-Branding-Strategie im Berichtszeitraum weiter konsequent umgesetzt. Mit dem Projekt "Gesund und zufrieden bei FACC" wurden während des Geschäftsjahres zusätzliche Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung der Mitarbeitermotivation gesetzt. Das Engagement für betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung wurde im Februar 2017 mit dem "Gütesiegel Betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung" ausgezeichnet.
Weiterbildung und Qualifizierung der Belegschaft bildeten 2016/17 wie schon in den Jahren zuvor ein Schwerpunktthema im Personalmanagement. Im Rahmen der FACC Academy, in der alle Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen des Konzerns gebündelt sind, wurden daher umfangreiche Entwicklungsprogramme umgesetzt.
Neben der laufenden Weiterbildung des bestehenden Personals hat die Weiterbildung neuer Mitarbeiter hohe Priorität, um deren Qualifikation entsprechend den sehr hohen Anforderungen der Flugzeugindustrie sicherzustellen. Dazu wurden im Berichtszeitraum insgesamt 604 Trainings mit 6.370 Teilnehmern abgehalten.
Um die Unternehmenswerte von FACC - Leistung, Erfolg, Wertschätzung und Teamgeist nachhaltig zu verankern, wurde im Berichtszeitraum zum dritten Mal der "FACC Leonardo" verliehen – ein Team-Award, der besondere Leistungen bei der Umsetzung dieser Werte oder einzelner Projekte auszeichnet. Im November 2016 wurde der Preis nach einem mehrstufigen Auswahlprozess vergeben. Das Siegerteam entwickelte ein völlig neuartiges und weltweit einzigartiges NDI-Thermografie-Prüfverfahren für Composite-Bauteile, mit dem die Einbettung von Fremdmaterialien und die ordnungsgemäße Verklebung sowohl kosteneffizient als auch zeitsparend überprüft werden können. FACC konnte die Entwicklung als weltweit einziges Unternehmen der Luftfahrtindustrie bei ihren Kunden Boeing qualifizieren und einsetzten. Prüfzeiten von komplexen Bauteilen werden durch das neue System signifikant reduziert.
Hohen Stellenwert genießt bei FACC die Lehrlingsausbildung. So waren im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 in Summe 42 Lehrlinge in den Berufen Kunststofftechnik (26 Lehrlinge), Metalltechnik (ein Lehrling), Konstruktion (13 Lehrlinge), IT Technik (ein Lehrling) und IT Informatik (ein Lehrling) im Unternehmen beschäftigt. Für die hohe Qualität der Ausbildung bei FACC sprechen unter anderem die Ergebnisse, welche die Lehrlinge des Unternehmens 2016 beim Lehrlingswettbewerb der Wirtschaftskammer Oberösterreich für kaufmännische und
technische Berufe erzielten. Von 757 Lehrlingen aus 97 oberösterreichischen Unternehmen sicherten sich wieder zahlreiche Mitglieder des FACC Future Teams Spitzenplätze. In der Kategorie "Kunststofftechnik" konnte sich FACC den Dreifachsieg sichern, in der Kategorie "Konstruktion" wurden die Plätze zwei und drei belegt. In der Spezialwertung "Mädchen in der Technik" konnten die ersten beiden Plätze erzielt werden. Das Engagement in der Lehrlingsausbildung wurde auch 2016 erneut mit der INEO-Auszeichnung zum vorbildlichen Lehrbetrieb belohnt.
Seit der Gründung von FACC im Jahr 1989 prägt kontinuierliches Wachstum die Entwicklung des Unternehmens. Von 2011 bis 2015 beschleunigte sich dieses Wachstum deutlich. Der Verbrauch von Energie und Ressourcen folgte diesem Trend jedoch nicht. Dank vielfältiger Maßnahmen zeigte die Entwicklung des Energieverbrauchs bei FACC einen deutlich flacheren Verlauf als die Betriebsleistung des Unternehmens. Konkret stieg die Energieeffizienz der FACC-Werke in den Jahren von 2010 bis 2014 jährlich um 10 % und 2015 um weitere knapp 7 % – Spitzenwerte, die durch Maßnahmen wie etwa Energie-Monitoring, den Einsatz von Leittechnik oder die zentrale Überwachung der Gebäudetechnik erreicht wurden.
Durch gezielte Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen konnte im Geschäftsjahr 2016/17 die Effizienz um 12,1 % gesteigert werden. Mit diesem Spitzenwert wurden sogar die äußerst positiven letzten Jahre übertroffen. Gegenüber dem Jahr 2010 wurde der spezifische Energieverbrauch in Summe um 44,92 % gesenkt.
Als konkrete Maßnahmen können hier ein konsequenter Einsatz von Wärmerückgewinnung, die Optimierung der Anlagenauslastung sowie die Senkung der Betriebstemperaturen auf der Versorgungsebene genannt werden.
Für das laufende Geschäftsjahr 2017/18 werden diese Maßnahmen weiterverfolgt bzw. wurde ein kompletter Umstieg auf LED-Beleuchtungssysteme gestartet.
Das Umweltmanagementsystem von FACC gemäß ISO 14001 ist bestens eingeführt und wird an laufenden Veränderungen wie neue Technologien oder neue rechtliche Anforderungen angepasst.
Um den rechtlichen Anforderungen in Bezug auf Umwelt, Arbeitssicherheit und Energie gerecht zu werden, wird derzeit das bestehende Rechtsmanagementsystem um eine Systemunterstützung erweitert.
Das Erreichen der Umweltziele, sowie die Umsetzung des Umweltprogramms werden bei FACC durch ein effektives Kennzahlensystem unterstützt, das als Basis für die Managementbewertung Umwelt dient.
Ein nachhaltiges Abfallwirtschaftssystem bildet bei FACC die Grundlage für die Entlastung der Umwelt, daher werden im Konzern kontinuierlich Verbesserungen angestrebt. Umgesetzt wurde zuletzt das Recycling von Lösungsmittel, die einen erheblichen Anteil am Abfall in der Produktion verursachen. Aktuell etwa realisiert FACC ein Pilotprojekt das die Wiederverwendbarkeit von mit Lösungsmitteln getränkten Putztüchern ermöglichen soll. Diese Tücher sollen in Zukunft nicht mehr teuer entsorgt werden müssen, sondern durch ein spezielles Waschverfahren wiederverwendet werden.
11.1. Berichterstattung über wesentliche Merkmale des internen Kontroll- und Risikomanagementsystems im Hinblick auf den Rechnungslegungsprozess
Gem. § 243a Abs. 2 UGB ist die FACC AG verpflichtet, die wesentlichen Merkmale des internen Kontroll- und Risikomanagementsystems im Hinblick auf den Rechnungslegungsprozess zu beschreiben. Der Vorstand der FACC AG hat gem. § 82 AktG dafür zu sorgen, dass ein Rechnungswesen und ein internes Kontrollsystem geführt werden, die den Anforderungen des Unternehmens entsprechen. Somit liegt es in der Verantwortung des Vorstands der FACC AG, ein angemessenes internes Kontroll- und Risikomanagementsystem im Hinblick auf den Rechnungslegungsprozess einzurichten.
Die wesentlichen Merkmale des Risikomanagements und des internen Kontrollsystems sind im Risikomanagementhandbuch der FACC AG festgehalten worden. Dabei wurden unter anderem wesentliche Finanz- und Controlling-Prozesse sowie deren entsprechende Risiken beschrieben und identifiziert.
Das rechnungslegungsbezogene interne Kontrollsystem ist so konzipiert, dass eine zeitnahe, einheitliche und korrekte Erfassung aller Geschäftsprozesse und Transaktionen gewährleistet ist und somit jederzeit fundierte Aussagen über die aktuelle Geschäftslage des Unternehmens sichergestellt sind.
Zu den Maßnahmen und Regeln zählen unter anderem Funktionstrennung, Vier-Augen-Prinzip, Unterschriftenordnungen, ausschließlich kollektive und auf wenige Personen eingeschränkte Zeichnungsermächtigungen für Zahlungen sowie systemunterstützte Prüfungen durch die verwendete EDV-Software (SAP).
Bei FACC wird seit mehr als zehn Jahren in fast allen Unternehmensbereichen SAP eingesetzt. Die Ordnungsmäßigkeiten der SAP-Systeme wurden in allen betroffenen Geschäftsprozessen umgesetzt.
Im Rahmen des monatlichen Reportings an den Vorstand und die zweite Berichtsebene werden insbesondere Soll-Ist-Vergleiche berichtet. Der Aufsichtsrat der FACC AG wird in seinen vierteljährlich stattfindenden Sitzungen über die aktuelle Geschäftsentwicklung und die Prognose für den weiteren Geschäftsverlauf des Konzerns unterrichtet. In den Sitzungen des Prüfungsausschusses wurden unter anderem auch Themen wie das interne Kontrollsystem und das Risikomanagement sowie Maßnahmen zur Minderung der internen Kontrollrisiken behandelt.
In Rahmen des Budgetierungsprozesses werden Budgetkosten je Kostenstelle geplant. Jeder Kostenstellenverantwortliche ist für die Einhaltung der budgetierten Kosten sowie die geplanten Investitionen verantwortlich. Alle Investitionsvorhaben sind vom Vorstand freizugeben. Über das Budget hinausgehende Investitionen unterliegen der Genehmigung des Aufsichtsrats.
In Bezug auf die IT-Sicherheit wurden Maßnahmen in den Bereichen Berechtigungskonzept, Funktionstrennung und Systemsicherheit ausgearbeitet bzw. umgesetzt.
Im Zusammenhang mit dem zunehmenden Bedrohungspotenzial durch Cyberkriminalität und dem erlittenen Schaden des Geschäftsjahres 2015/16 – dem "Fake President Incident" – hat die FACC AG unmittelbar nach Schadensfeststellung im Jänner 2016 eine umfassende Analyse des internen Kontrollsystems sowie der wesentlichen Prozesse veranlasst und weitere Prozesse und Kontrollen zur Verbesserung implementiert. Die Verbesserungsmaßnahmen haben insbesondere folgende Schwerpunkte

Der Wachstumstrend in der zivilen Luftfahrtindustrie dürfte auch in Zukunft weiter anhalten: Analysen der OEMs bestätigen derzeit die konstante jährliche Zunahme des Passagieraufkommens von rund 5 %. In den kommenden 20 Jahren wird sich die Flotte an Flugzeugen weltweit von derzeit 21.000 Verkehrsflugzeugen (Quelle: Marktausblick – Airbus/Boeing 2016) bis zum Jahr 2035 auf 42.500 Flugzeuge mehr als verdoppeln. Aus der derzeit bestehenden Flotte werden 14.800 Flugzeuge außer Dienst gestellt und durch moderne Flugzeuge ersetzt werden. Entsprechend dieser Einschätzung besteht innerhalb der nächsten 20 Jahre ein Bedarf an 36.300 neuen Flugzeugen.
Es wird jedoch auch von einer deutlichen Verschiebung hin zu den neuen Wachstumsmärkten China und Indien ausgegangen. Das Verkehrsaufkommen (Reisetätigkeit pro Jahr und Einwohner) soll sich in diesen Ländern bis zum Jahr 2035 vervierfachen. Das Reiseaufkommen je Einwohner in den USA und in Europa wird sich – obwohl es sich bereits heute auf hohem Niveau befindet – um weitere 20 % erhöhen.
Im vergangenen Jahr lieferten Airbus und Boeing zusammen 1.436 neue Verkehrsflugzeuge an ihre Kunden aus. Im gleichen Zeitraum wurden 1.419 Flugzeuge an Airlines verkauft. Es handelt sich somit um eine Book to Bill Ratio von annähernd 1:1.
Das Erreichen des Umsatzziels von 1 Mrd. Euro gemäß der "Vision 2020" bis zum Ende des Geschäftsjahres 2020/21 bleibt aufrecht. Für die Folgejahre wird von einer stufenweisen Steigerung der Fertigungsrate in wesentlichen Programmen ausgegangen. Bedingt durch das ausgewogene und moderne Produkt- und Kundenportfolio von FACC kann das Unternehmen vom generellen Wachstum aller bedeutenden Flugzeugfamilien profitieren. Aus heutiger Sicht ist für das Geschäftsjahr 2017/18 ein moderates Umsatzwachstum zu erwarten.
Der Markt für Wartung und Reparatur (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) – allen voran die Instandhaltung und Reparatur von Composite-Systemen – wird durch den steigenden Anteil an Composite-Strukturen bei neuen Flugzeugen immer mehr zu einem Geschäftsfeld mit Potenzial. Unterstützt durch die weitreichenden Erfahrungen von FACC in der Entwicklung und Herstellung vom Composite-Systemen verfolgt FACC das Ziel, neben dem Kerngeschäft vermehrt Instandhaltungs- und Reparaturarbeiten für Airlines anzubieten.
Weiterhin im Fokus des Managements liegt die nachhaltige Stärkung der Ertragskraft des Unternehmens. Initiativen zur Erhöhung des Automatisierungsgrads und der Produktivität sowie das Outsourcing der Produktion von einfachen Composite-Teilen in die Supply Chain sollen die Ertragslage des Konzerns weiter stärken.
