By the risk management processes AEROSTAR pursues to secure the average and long term sustainability and the reduction of uncertainty associated with its strategic and financial objectives.
The risk management processes performed in various areas provide the identification, analysis, evaluation and management of all risks in order to minimize their effects down to an agreed level.
The risks currently managed by the company are:
The Operational Risk is the risk of loss occurrence or of failure to make profits at the budgeted level, a risk which can be determined by internal factors (inadequate performance of certain activities, inadequate technological processes, manpower problems) or external factors (economic conditions, changes in the business environment, legislative changes).
The operational risk management is targeted to achieve a balance between avoiding the financial loss and company reputation impairment, on the one hand, and increasing the cost structure efficiency, on the other hand.
The main responsibility for developing and implementing controls related to the operational risk lies with the top management of each division, a responsibility which is supported by the development of general standards at the level of the company for the management of the operational risk.
The Credit Risk is the risk of AEROSTAR bearing a financial loss as a result of the failure to meet the contractual business obligations by a customer.
The credit risk is assessed and administered for each business partner based on the credit rating reviews, which also include the country risk for the country where the customer operates.
Based on the creditworthiness, the customers are allocated a maximum level of commercial credit (in terms of value and duration), while the reassessment of the allocated creditworthiness and the credit limits are monitored and reviewed on a regular basis.
In certain cases, specific mitigation tools will be required (advance payments, letters of bank guarantee, confirmed letters of credit).
AEROSTAR has no significant exposure towards a single partner and does not register a significant concentration of the turnover on a single geographic area.
A presentation of the quantitative information regarding AEROSTAR SA exposure to credit risk is detailed in Note 9 (Financial Instruments) of the Financial Statements.
The Liquidity Risk is the risk for AEROSTAR to encounter difficulties in fulfilling its debt-related obligations as they become due.
To assess the liquidity risk, the cash flows from operations, from investments and from funding are monitored and reviewed weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually in order to establish the estimated level of net modifications of the cash. Such reviews provide the basis for the financing decisions and for the capital expenditures.
In order to reduce liquidity risk, AEROSTAR keeps an annual cash-reserve in the form of a Credit Line (used as overdraft) granted by banks.
During the reporting period, AEROSTAR did not use the contracted credit line granted 2.500.000 USD, all the Company's activities being financed from own sources.
The Market Risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in market prices.
The market risk includes the price risk, currency risk and interest rate risk.
The price risk is determined by the possibility of incurring a loss or failure to obtain the estimated profits as a result of market price fluctuations, especially in case of business agreements concluded for longer periods of time (over 1 year).
The avoidance or mitigation of the price risk is made by including in the commercial agreements of provisions for the annual price update or by including of a safety margin in the contract price against the risk of changing price for the raw materials.
AEROSTAR S.A. is exposed to currency risk as 84% of the turnover is related to USD and EUR, while a considerable amount of the operational expenses is related to the operational currency (LEI).
So, the company is exposed to the risk of the exchange rate fluctuations, affecting both the net revenues and the financial position, as they are both expressed in LEI.
An analysis of AEROSTAR's sensitivity to the currency fluctuations is detailed in Note 9 (Financial Instruments) of the Financial Statements.
During the reporting period AEROSTAR S.A. did not incur any financial loss.
As far as the interest rate risk is concerned, due to the fact that AEROSTAR S.A. did not use the contracted Credit Line during the reporting period, the cash revenues and flows are independent from the interest rate variation on the banking market.
AEROSTAR S.A. co-operates and interacts with the interested parties from the community where the company business is performed, by philantropic initiatives and community programmes.
We have identified the following key interested parties with whom we co-operate:
