1. General information

Vantiva is a global technology leader in designing, developing, and supplying innovative products and solutions that connect consumers around the world to the content and services they love – whether at home, at work or in other smart spaces. Vantiva has also earned a solid reputation for optimizing supply chain performance by leveraging its decades-long expertise in high-precision manufacturing, logistics, fulfillment and distribution. Please refer to note 3.1 for details on Group's operating segments.

In these consolidated financial statements, the terms "Vantiva group", "the Group" and "Vantiva" mean Vantiva SA together with its consolidated subsidiaries. Vantiva SA or the "Company" refers to the Vantiva group parent company.

1.1. Main events of the period

1.1.1 First half trading

Technicolor Creative Studios announced the details of its refinancing and the new composition of its shareholding on April 3, 2023.

The signature of a conciliation protocol with its lenders and shareholders, including the Group, took place on March 29, 2023 and puts an end to the conciliation procedure started on January 20, 2023.

According to the terms of the agreement of March 8, 2023, the Conciliation Protocol provides that the refinancing of its debt will include New Money financing for a total amount in principle, net of commissions from an initial discount on the issue. and commitment fee, approximately equal to 170 million euros and the restructuring of its existing debt.

This refinancing plan is based on the issue of convertible bonds and stock warrants giving rights to 44% of the share capital to new contributors.

For more details on the refinancing plan, please refer to the TCS press release.

On June 8, Vantiva SA, through its trust, participated in this plan to the tune of 10 million euros by subscribing to the issue of the convertible bond loan. At the end of this refinancing plan, Vantiva's stake, assuming the full conversion of the convertible bonds and full issuance of warrants, would drop from 35% to 9.7%. As a result, Vantiva's holding rights in TCS fall below 20%, causing the deconsolidation of TCS in the group's consolidated accounts from June 8th.. An impairment of €25 million of the shares we hold was recognized based on the share price at this date. The accounting treatment is further detailed in note 2.

1.1.2 Change of Head Office

On June 22, 2023, Vantiva SA moved into a new head office at 10 boulevard de Grenelle in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.

1.1.3 Impairment of SCS Goodwill

Following a sharper decline than expected in optical discs sale, the Group has reperformed an impairment test of its SCS Goodwill, leading to a 133 M€ impairment of Goodwill. The assumptions and sentivity analyses are presented in note 4.1.

1.1.4 Economic environment

Both Groupe's businesses reported lower demand than in the first half of 2022. It should be remembered that Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) is highly seasonal, with a traditionally stronger second half of the year.

1.2. Accounting policies applied by the Group

1.2.1 Basis for preparation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2023 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", a standard issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union. Because they are condensed, these financial statements do not include all the information required under the standards issued by the IASB and should be read in conjunction with the full-year financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The standards approved by the European Union are available on the following web site: https://finance.ec.europa.eu/capital-markets-union-and-financial-markets/company-reporting-andauditing/company-reporting/financial-reporting_en#ifrs.

Vantiva financial statements are presented in euros and have been rounded to the nearest million. This may in certain circumstances lead to non‑material differences so that the sum of the figures equals the sub‑totals that appear in the tables.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes were approved by the Board of Directors of Vantiva SA and authorized for issuance on July 27, 2023.

The accounting policies applied by the Group are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The standards, amendments and interpretations which have been applied January 1,2023 have no impact for the Group (see Note 1.2.1.1).

1.2.1.1 Going Concern

The accounts have been established with the going concern assumption in the following context:

Due to the variability of the operations, the company has an increased need for operating capital until December 2023 that should be normalized after that date.

The company has initiated the following actions with the aim to fulfil that need :

  • Continuation of the Wells Fargo line with recently amended conditions improving its average availability
  • Discussions on new asset backed financing and factoring lines
  • Discussions with clients and suppliers in order to smooth its working capital requirements, some of them being agreed and already implemented

The cash forecast for the next 12 months takes into accounts the following assumptions :

  • Improved regularity of cash-flows in 2024
  • Achievement of the actions plans described above
  • Seasonality of the working capital requirements

The above actions plans have been reviewed by the Board on July 27, 2023.

Main standards, amendments, and interpretations effective and applied as of January 1st, 2023

New standard and
interpretation
Main provisions
(Amendments to IAS 1
and
IFRS Practice
Statement 2)
An entity is now required to disclose its material accounting policy information instead of
its significant accounting policies; several paragraphs are added to explain how an entity
can
identify material accounting policy information and to give examples of when accounting
policy
information is likely to be material.
The amendments clarify that:
accounting policy information may be material because of its nature, even if the related
amounts
are immaterial;
• accounting policy information is material if users of an entity's financial statements would
need it to understand other material information in the financial statements; and
• if an entity discloses immaterial accounting policy information, such information shall not
obscure material accounting policy information.
In addition, IFRS Practice Statement 2 has been amended by adding guidance and
examples to explain and demonstrate the application of the 'four‑step materiality process'
to accounting policy information in order to support the amendments to IAS 1.
The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments to determine the impact
they will have on the Group's accounting policy disclosures.
Classification of
Liabilities
as Current or
Non‑Current
(Amendments to IAS
1)
The amendments aim to:
(1) specify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity
will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. If a liability otherwise meets
the criteria for classification as non‑current, it is classified as non‑current
regardless of whether management intends or expects to settle the liability within
12 months or settles the liability between the end of the reporting period and the
date the financial statements are authorized for issue;
(2) clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non‑current is based on
rights that are in existence of the reporting period;
(3) introduce a definition of "settlement" to make clear that settlement refers to the
transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.
The Group has reviewed its existing liability and the Wells Fargo line in particular; given the
requirements on the asset collateral required, the group estimates that there is no right to
defer settlement beyond 12 months.
Definition of
Accounting
Estimates
(Amendments to IAS
8)
The definition of a change in accounting estimates is replaced with a definition of accounting
estimates. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are "monetary amounts in
financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty".
Entities develop accounting estimates if accounting policies require items in financial
statements to be measured in a way that involves measurement uncertainty.
The Board clarifies that a change in accounting estimate that results from new information
or new developments is not the correction of an error. In addition, the effects of a change in
an input or a measurement technique used to develop an accounting estimate are changes
in accounting estimates if they do not result from the correction of prior period errors.
A change in an accounting estimate may affect only the current period's profit or loss, or the
profit or loss of both the current period and future periods. The effect of the change relating
to the current period is recognized as income or expense in the current period. The effect,
if any, on future periods is recognized as income or expense in those future periods.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Group.
Deferred Tax related
to
Assets and Liabilities
arising
from a Single
Transaction
The amendments aim to clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions
such as leases and decommissioning obligations.
The main change is an exemption from the initial recognition exemption provided in IAS
12.15(b) and IAS 12.24. Accordingly, the initial recognition exemption does not apply to
transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise
on initial recognition. This is also explained in the newly inserted paragraph IAS 12.22A.

(Amendments to IAS 12) The amendments do not have a material impact on the Group.

|--|--|

No significant impact has been identified as the result of the implementation of the above amendments.

New standards, amendments, and interpretations not effective as of January 1st, 2023

No new standard has been applied by anticipation.

1.2.1.3 Basis of measurement, estimates & judgments.

The financial information has been prepared using the historical cost convention with some exceptions regarding various assets and liabilities, for which specific provisions recommended by the IFRS have been applied.

  • non‑financial assets are initially recognized at acquisition costs or manufacturing costs including any costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Group's management. Long‑term assets are subsequently measured using the cost model, cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses;
  • financial assets & liabilities are initially recognized at fair value or at amortized cost (see note 6.4).

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period of the consolidated financial statements. These assumptions and estimates inherently contain some degree of uncertainty.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable and relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates, while different assumptions or conditions.

Management regularly reviews its valuations and estimates based on its past experience and various other factors considered reasonable and relevant for the determination of the fair estimates of the assets and liabilities' carrying value and the revenues and expenses.may yield different results.

Vantiva's management believes the following to be the critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

  • Absence of a going concern risk, despite the variability in the timing of sales, in particular with regard to the cash flow forecasts adopted by the Board of Directors on July 27, 2023 for the next 12 months;
  • Classification of the stake in TCS (see note 2);
  • Determination of TCS convertible bonds' fair value;
  • Determination of expected useful lives of tangible and intangible assets (see notes 5.2 & 5.3);
  • Determination of the term of the rents for the estimation of the rights-of-use (see note 5.4) and recoverable value of rights-of-use marketed for sublease;
  • Presentation in other income (expense) (see note 3.2);

  • Determination of inventories net realizable value;
  • Deferred tax assets recognition;
  • Assessment of actuarial assumptions used to determine provisions for employee postemployment benefits (see note 8);
  • Measurement of provisions and contingencies (see note 9);
  • Determination of royalties payables.

2. Scope of consolidation

TCS Deconsolidation

On June 8,2023 TCS has increased its capital for 30m€. Vantiva subscribed to the TCS convertible bond issue for 10 million euros, diluting its holding shares from 35% to 7.5% as of June 2023.

The TCS shares were deconsolidated on June 8, 2023.

Convertible bonds accounting

This €10 million subscription represents 50,112,559 convertible bonds at a subscription price of €0.19955 per bond.

These bonds will be convertible into new shares of TCS which will be ordinary shares of the same class as the existing shares of TCS. One convertible bonds will have to be converted in order to subscribe to five shares.

These convertible bonds have been recorded in Vantiva SA's balance sheet as financial instruments at fair value. The method applied to determine fair value is detailed in note 7. The valuation of these shares will be reassessed at each closing date at fair value through profit or loss

Change in classification of TCS shares on Vantiva's balance sheet

When an investor loses significant influence or joint control, it must cease to use the equity method from the date on which its investment ceases to be an investment in an associate or joint venture (IFRS 10).

As a result, the TCS shares have been reclassified as non-consolidated financial assets. In accordance with IFRS 9, the retained interests were remeasured at fair value. The change in fair value was recognized by P&L to bring the TCS shares at their fair value, based on the stock market price.

Impact of the impairment and fair value adjustment of TCS shares in Vantiva's P&L

The net value of TCS shares at the end of June 2023 is €6 million. The impact of the impairment of TCS shares from January 1 to June 8, 2023 is reflected in loss from associates for €25 million. The change in fair value between June 8, 2023 and June 30, 2023 was recognized in the financial result under change in fair value on financial assets and liabilities for €11 million.

As a reminder, the net value of TCS shares was €43 million at December 31, 2022.

Impairment loss - (133) (133)

Over the first half of 2023, the group has noticed a larger than expected fall in structural optical disc demand with a direct impact on the SCS division cost absorption. The group immediately took corrective actions, increasing the extent of its restructuring plans and intensifying the diversification plans.

Given that the Group does not assume a recovery in structural demand in a declining market, this fall in demand has been analyzed as an impairment indicator. The Group has revised its assumptions, mostly on Optical discs volumes, restructuring required and capital expense in Growth activities.

For the purposes of the impairment test and in accordance with IAS 36, the group has taken the following assumptions:

  • Reforecast, 3 Year-plan and below business plan assumptions approved by the Board
  • the termination of the optical discs business in about 10 years through a gradual decline
  • Weighted average cost of capital at 13%
  • a long term growth rate of 2% for other activities.
  • Activities for which the current sales are not significant are treated as an upside and therefore not included in the enterprise value for the purpose of the impairment test.

As a result, the Group booked an impairment of 133 M€.

The impact of main assumptions on this impairment expense is the following:

An increase of the WACC of 1% would decrease enterprise value by 6M€, leading to a further impairment.

A decrease of 1pt EBITDA margin from 2024 would decrease enterprise value by 30 M€, leading to a further impairment.

    • o The first lien is senior over the second lien credit agreement
    • o 4 years maturity through September 2026 with the option of 1-year extension upon an extension fee payment
    • o The loan carries a combination of cash and PIK (Pay-in-Kind) interests:
      • PIK interests: 3% for the first year, increasing to 4% 12 months after closing, then 5.5% 24 months after closing, then + 0.5% every 12 months thereafter
        • Cash Interest EURIBOR 3 months + margin of 2.5% per year

      • Cash Interest: EURIBOR + 4% then 6% after year 2
    • o The loan carries an exit fee upon repayment for 4% (including at maturity)

The exit fee is considered in the calculation of the IFRS rate (cf. table above).

Wells Fargo existing Asset-Based Lending ("ABL") facility of \$125m was extended for a further 4 years starting September 15th, 2022.

The first lien loan; the second lien loan and the Wells Fargo credit line are collectively referred to as the "Debt Instruments".

The key terms of the debt documentation specified above are detailed below.

Security Package and Guarantors

First and Second Lien Loans

The previous trusts ("fiducies-sûretés") structures, guaranteeing the repaid debt, were disassembled.

The first and the second lien loans have primarily the following securities:

  • The equity pledge over Gallo 8 and Technicolor Brasil.
  • A trust containing the remaining TCS shares.
  • Pledges over the bank accounts of Vantiva.
  • Pledges over intercompany receivables by Vantiva.

Guarantors of the first and the second lien loans are:

  • Gallo 8.
  • Technologies Vantiva Canada Inc.
  • US subsidiaries party to the Wells Fargo ABL gave a subordinated, unsecured guarantee.

Wells Fargo (WF) Agreement

The WF Agreement is secured by a 1st ranking pledge on most of the commercial receivables and inventories of the U.S. companies of the Group.

Mandatory and voluntary prepayments

In case of default or change of control of Vantiva, creditors will have the ability to immediately demand payment of all or a portion of the outstanding amounts.

Through December 31, 2022, 75% of net proceeds from non-ordinary disposal needs to be used to repay the debt subject to a retention cap of €25m of the cash proceeds. Thereafter, this repayment requirement covers 100% of the cash proceeds, subject to reinvestment right in the case of casualty events and the ability to retain up to €10m of the cash proceeds.

The credit agreement defines an Excess Cash Flow, as a cash-flow generation that exceeds the needs of business operations. Any Excess Cash Flow would trigger a mandatory partial repayment commencing for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 as per the test below:

  • for 50% if Total Net Leverage Ratio > 2.20x
  • for 25% if Total Net Leverage Ratio ≤ 2.20 and > 1.70x
  • and 0% if Total Net Leverage Ratio < 1.70x

The events of defaults in the Debt Instruments include among other things and are subject to certain exceptions, thresholds and grace periods:

  • failure by borrowers to make required payments when due under the Debt Instruments or of any other financial indebtedness or to comply with material obligations related to the Debt Instruments;
  • across default under which there is a default if any member of the Group defaults under any indebtedness involving an aggregate amount of more than \$25 million.

Financial Covenants

The documentation for the 1st lien; 2nd lien and Wells Fargo contains leverage covenant, tested on June 30 and December 31 starting in June 2023, requiring the ratio of total net debt to EBITDA to be less than or equal to the levels given below

June 30, 2023 4.50 to 1.00
December 31, 2023 5.00 to 1.00
June 30, 2024 5.00 to 1.00
December 31, 2024 and thereafter 5.10 to 1.00

The breach of this financial covenant is an event of default upon the occurrence of which the lenders can instruct the debt's agent to declare it immediately due and payable.

The net debt as defined for the covenant is equal to the nominal value of the Group's debt (excluding operating leases under IFRS16) minus (i) cash and (ii) cash collaterals that guarantee debt.

The EBITDA as defined for the covenant is equal to the Group adjusted EBITDA minus all IFRS 16 expenses.

In June 30, 2023, the net leverage ratio was 3.67.

For information, the ratio calculus for June 30, 2023 was

€ Millions
Nominal Debt (excluding IFRS16) = 417
Plus negative amounts of mark-to-market of derivatives = 0
Minus cash and cash equivalents = 39
Minus cash collateral securing existing debt = 0
Net Debt for covenants calculation's purpose = 378

12 months rolling EBITDA = 103

Net Leverage Ratio = 378 / 103 = 3.7 which is lower than 4.5 threshold tested as of June 30, 2023

Affirmative Covenants

The Debt Instruments contain various standard and customary affirmative covenants and in addition contain requirements to the Group to provide:

  • Semestrial financials: unaudited balance sheet, income statement, and cashflow statement (without notes);
  • Annual financials: audited balance sheet, income statement, and cashflow statement;
  • Full-year guidance: including Revenue, EBITDA, FCF, and Net Leverage ratio.

Negative Covenants

The Debt Instruments and WF Agreement contain various standard and customary negative covenants as well as other specific covenants which restrict the Group's ability to undertake certain actions. These include restrictions on:

  • Indebtedness: Generally new indebtedness is not permitted with various exceptions and baskets notably for capital leases and unsecured debt.
  • Liens: New liens are generally not allowed except for some carve-outs and a general lien basket
  • Disposals: Subject to certain carve-outs and baskets, the Group is limited in its ability to make disposals.
  • Acquisitions: Except for a lifetime basket amount the Group cannot make acquisitions.
  • Distributions: The Group is limited in its ability to make distributions, in particular to shareholders.

On June 30, 2023 Vantiva fully respects all applicable covenants and no case of default occurred between this date and the approval of the financial statements.

6.3. Derivative financial instruments

The Group uses derivatives to reduce market risk. In particular, Vantiva uses forward foreign currency operations to hedge foreign exchange risk.

The Group executes operations in the over-the-counter derivatives markets.

The table below gives the fair value of these derivative operations on June 30, 2023.

Jun - 2023 Dec- 2022
(€ in million) Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities
Foreign currency hedges 0 2 O
Interest rate hedges O O 0 0
Total 0 0

The Group's credit risk on its derivatives at June 30, 2023 is nil since the net amount of assets and liabilities for each trading counterparty is positive.

6.4. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

  • Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
  • Level 2: internal models with observable parameters including the use of recent arm's length transactions (when available), references to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.
  • Level 3: internal models with non-observable parameters.
6.4.
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
In accordance with IFRS 13 – Fair Value measurement, 3 levels of fair value measurement have been
identified for financial assets & liabilities:
-
Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can
access at the measurement date.
-
Level 2: internal models with observable parameters including the use of recent arm's length
transactions (when available), references to other instruments that are substantially the same,
discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models, making maximum use of market
inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.
-
Level 3: internal models with non-observable parameters.

  • o a vanilla bond with a yield of 16% in line with the yield of similar TCS debt at June 30
    • o a long call representing the potential upside of conversion

o a short call representing the ability of TCS to force the conversion

The model yields a 7.7 M€ valuation for a volatility of 160% (input by default in Reuters pricer) and 9M€ for a 77% Volatility (Long-Term Volatility).

Given that immediate conversion at June 30 would have led to a 8.6 M€ value, the group has retained the latter. The model takes into account the relative illiquidity of the asset.

(2) Borrowings are recognized at amortized costs. The fair value of the Group debt is €479 million as of June 30, 2023 (€431 million as of December 31, 2022). This fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for term loan debt (Level 2).

Some cash collateral for U.S. entities is classified as current because of their its short maturity but is renewed automatically for periods of 12 months.
