1. General

This report contains the semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements of OCI N.V. ('OCI', 'the Group' or 'the Company'), a public limited liability company incorporated under Dutch law, with its head office located at Honthorststraat 19, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. OCI N.V. is registered in the Dutch commercial register under No. 56821166 dated 2 January 2013. The Group is primarily involved in the production and distribution of natural gas-based fertilizers and industrial chemicals.

The semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019 have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 August 2019.

The semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019 have not been audited or reviewed by an external auditor.

The notes to the semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the six month period ended 30 June 2019.

2. Basis of preparation

The semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018. The semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied over the six month period ended 30 June 2019 are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the adoption of IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

3.1 New standards adopted by the Group

IFRS 16 'Leases'

IFRS 16 issued on 13 January 2016 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for the customer ('lessee') and the supplier ('lessor'). IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model.

Applying that model, a lessee is required to recognize:

  • assets and liabilities for all leases with voluntary exceptions for short-term leases (of less than 12 months) and leases of which the underlying asset is of low value;
  • depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease obligations in the statement of profit or loss; and
  • repayment of lease obligations are presented as cash flows from finance activities.

OCI has chosen to implement IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach effective 1 January 2019. Comparative numbers were not restated. While applying the modified retrospective approach, OCI has elected the option to measure the right-of-use asset based on the value of the lease obligation, to exclude initial direct cost and to use the incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease obligation. The incremental borrowing rate will be determined for each lease obligation as the sum of the entity specific average borrowing rate and a discount reflecting the security of the underlying 'right-of-use asset', taking into account the term structure difference between the average borrowing rate and the term of the lease.

The adoption of IFRS 16 did not result in any adjustment to equity in the 2019 opening balances and does not affect any covenants.

The group elected the following practical expedients and applied these consistently to all leases:

  • no reassessment of whether any existing contracts already assessed under previous IFRS guidance contain leases;
  • excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets on transition;
  • leases for which the lease term ends during 2019 will be expensed as short-term leases.

The impact of implementing IFRS 16 is presented in the schedules below:

At 30 June 2019 171.5 28.0 199.5

When comparing the IFRS 16 value of lease obligations to the discounted value (using the incremental borrowing rate) of the IAS 17 lease obligations, the differences are the result of the short-term leases maturing in 2019 that are being expensed under the IFRS 16 practical expedient and the non-lease elements excluded from certain leases under IFRS 16.

We have used the same database of leases to calculate the value under IFRS 16 as was used previously under IAS 17, the difference in value is then only in leases still treated as if they were operating leases. 'Regular' low-value and short term leases are insignificant by default, so the main difference is in the initial exemption.

IFRS 16 Accounting policy

Lessee accounting

Whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is assessed at the commencement date of the lease. In general, an arrangement is considered to be or to contain a lease when all of the following apply:

  • there is an identified asset;
  • OCI obtains substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and
  • OCI can direct the use of the identified asset.

Lease obligations are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Right-of-use assets are valued equal to the lease liabilities. As leases do not easily provide for an implicit rate, OCI uses the incremental borrowing rate. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

For leases, each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss over the term of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

3.1 New standards adopted by the Group (continued)

OCI has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. For assets in the class leases of offices and buildings, we account for the lease and non-lease components separately. For these type of leases the allocation of the consideration between lease and non-lease components is based on the relative stand-alone prices of lease components included in the lease arrangements. Leases are presented as 'Right-of-use assets' and 'Lease obligations'.

Short term leases (less than 12 months) or low value leases (less than USD 5,000) are expensed through the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

4. Seasonality of operations

Our product portfolio is diversified primarily by industry and geography. The nitrogen fertilizer industry is inherently dependent on fundamental supply and demand drivers, including global population growth, crop yields, feedstock costs, and seasonality of crop planting and harvesting seasons. These and other long-term and short-term drivers result in cyclical nitrogen fertilizer pricing trends. Supply and demand dynamics in the industrial chemicals industries in which we operate, including industrial ammonia, methanol, and melamine, are more evenly distributed throughout the year, thereby contributing to stability in sales. The global sales and diversified product mix - both as fertilizers and chemical products - mitigate the impact of any one product or region's seasonal fluctuations.

5. Critical accounting judgment, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements. The estimates and assumptions are based on experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are used to judge the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised or in the revision period and future periods, if the changed estimates affect both current and future periods.

Compared to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 there were no significant changes to the critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that could result in significantly different amounts than those recognized in the financial statements. With respect to financial instruments, there has not been any reclassification between categories of financial instruments compared to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

The objectives and policies of financial risk and capital management are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

The Group has limited financial instruments carried at fair value. For derivative financial instruments, the fair value is calculated within hierarchy category level 2. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income recognized as level 1 is USD 3.3 million (2018: USD 3.6 million), the investment in the Infrastructure and Growth Capital Fund of USD 6.3 million (2018: USD 10.1 million) was recognized as level 2 and the investment in Notore Chemical of USD 23.2 million (2018: USD 23.2 million) is recognized as level 3. Notore listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in 2018, however due to the lack in trading volumes the investments is still valued within the hierarchy category level 3. There have been no changes in valuation techniques of fair value level 3 instruments compared to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

In 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between the fair value hierarchy categories. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost (loans and borrowings, trade and other receivables and trade and other payables) approximates their fair values.

Commodity price risk

As of the second quarter of 2019 the Group has applied hedge accounting to certain designated derivatives used to hedge the gas price risk for future gas purchases.

7.2 Capital management

The Board's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, retained earnings and non-controlling interest of the Group. The Board of Directors monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders. The Group is required by external financial institutions to maintain certain capital requirements compared to its debt.

7.2 Capital management (continued)

The Group's net debt to equity ratio at the reporting date was as follows:
