IFRS 16 impact
IFRS 16 – New financial reporting standard for leases implemented as of Q1 2019
- § Income statement impact
- § Reduced OpEx and increased EBITDA of EUR 3.5 million for Q1 2019
- § The positive effect on EBITDA is offset by EUR 3.3 million of higher depreciation and EUR 0.4 million of net financial items
- § Balance sheet impact
- § Increase in assets EUR 55.9 million
- § Increase in liabilities EUR 56.6 million
- § Reduction in equity EUR 0.7m
Underlying tax rate stable with small reduction
- § Underlying tax rate is stable and broadly represents a weighted average of the tax rates in the countries Adevinta is located
- § Reported tax rate may deviate significantly from the nominal tax rates in our markets. The main reasons are:
- § Unrecognised tax benefits from tax losses in Adevinta Investment phase operations and product & tech development
- § Share of profit (loss) of joint ventures and associates being reported net of tax
- § Non-deductible expenses or non-taxable gains
- § The reported tax rate is 38% in Q1 2019, compared to 82% in Q1 2018. This reported tax rate converges towards the underlying tax rate, as investment phase losses decline
