IFRS 16

  • IFRS 16 redefines recording methods of operating leases in the financial statements imposing a single recognition method for all types of leasing, with the consequent recognition in the balance sheet of the tangible assets and liabilities for future payments
  • The main impacts deriving from the application of the new principle are:

    • o recording of non-current assets equal to rights of use on tangible and intangible assets against existing leasing contracts
  • o recognition of financial liabilities equal to the present value of future rentals

  • The Group has applied this principle starting from 1 st January 2019
  • The estimated impact on the Group Financial Debt for FY 2019 will be ca. € 0.4-0.5 bn
