The equipment, assemblies and parts produced by AEROSTAR are used on a large number of commercial aircraft: Airbus A320, A321, A330, A350, Boeing B737, B787, B767, Gulfstream G650, Dassault F7X, Bombardier Challenger 600 series and Global 5000/6000.

MRO Civil Aviation

28.7% of turnover recorded on 30 September 2023

AEROSTAR is a major supplier of industrial level maintenance services (basic and complex B, C and D level maintenance, structural modifications, avionics upgrades) for Airbus A320 family and Boeing B737 commercial aircraft.

Defence Systems

16.6% of turnover recorded on 30 September 2023

AEROSTAR actively participates in modernisation, integration and maintenance programmes for military aviation and defence systems, being a first-tier supplier for the Romanian Ministry of National Defence and an authorised economic operator registered in the Single Register of Economic Operators and Defence Production and/or Service Capabilities in the national defence industry.

From 1 January to 30 September 2023, the upward trend in the aviation manufacturing business line continued, thanks to the partial recovery in international air travel and as a result of the resumption of new aircraft orders.

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

The first nine months of 2023 saw a recovery in air traffic while the economic uncertainties did not curb people's appetite for travelling, even though ticket prices increased due to the rise in fuel prices.

However, there are still challenges for the aviation industry in terms of volatile prices, skilled staff, supply chains and inflation.

The rising costs of production and general inflation generate uncertainty about the future costs.

The global supply chain continues to impact the industry through short-term capacity shortages and delivery shortfalls, as well as through the changes required to fill the gaps caused by the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the challenges experienced during the COVID pandemic.

The labour shortage in the industry remains a real challenge given the demand for skilled and specialised personnel and the high level of experience and professional training required by the specific activities in this field.

Perspectives

The company's perspectives depend to a large extent on the global context and the evolution of the key factors.

The global economic and geopolitical crisis does not alter AEROSTAR's commitment to its established responsibilities. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia had no direct impact on the company's business.

OUR EMPLOYEES

Through the human resources policies adopted, equal opportunities are ensured for all employees, without discrimination, in terms of professional career or any other work practice.

As of 30 September 2023, Aerostar had an effective headcount of 1853 employees, an increase compared to the same period last year. The share of women in the total number of employees is 29% and 26% in the management structure.

Currently, 86% of AEROSTAR's individual labour agreements are concluded with an indefinite duration.

During the reporting period, there were no fatal accidents at AEROSTAR. AEROSTAR acts consistently to reduce the risks of accidents and illnesses and applies internal rules and regulations in its work that ensure compliance with the legal requirements.

AEROSTAR is committed to supporting its employees, their professional development, attraction and retention in the organization through the concerns included in the development strategy and performance evaluation.

In the first nine months of 2023, 3569 employees were included in professional training programmes.

We support, respect and guarantee equal and non-discriminatory treatment!

We support the professional development of our employees by including them in professional training programmes.

As far as the benefits of our employees are concerned, the Additional Act that entered into force on 1 April 2023 for the Collective Labour Agreement for the period 01.04.2023 - 31.03.2024 provides for benefit packages and salary increases of 15% for the company's employees.

In accordance with the Resolution no. 2/14.12.2017 of the Board of Directors, the opening of a secondary place of business without legal personality (lucrative facility) was approved in Iasi, on 25B Aeroportului Street. Moreover, in accordance with the Decision of the Board of Directors no.1/02.06.2023, the opening of a secondary office without legal personality (lucrative facility) was approved in Fetești, at 2, Carpati Street, ap. 7.

The main line of work of AEROSTAR S.A. is production.

The main object of activity of the company is "Manufacture of aircraft and spaceships" - code 3030.

The company was registered as a shareholding company at the Bacau Trade Register (under number J04/1137/1991), with the current name "AEROSTAR S.A." and the individual identification code 950531, the European Unique Identifier (EUID) code ROONRC J04/1137/1991.

The company is listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange under the ARS code, and the record of its shares and shareholders is kept, as provided by law, by S.C. Depozitarul Central S.A. Bucharest.

Over the course of 2023 there was no subscription of new shares, nor of any participation certificates, convertible bonds, warranties, options or similar rights.

In terms of accounting regulations, AEROSTAR S.A. is the subsidiary of the company IAROM S.A. and, therefore, the parent company that consolidates the financial statements of the group is S.C.

The company will continue to act firmly so as to ensure the sustainability of its investments and to maintain its production capabilities. Furthermore, thanks to the experience gathered within our collective, the company acts so as to find the most suitable solutions to the new economic challenges.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

2.1. Estimates

The preparation and presentation of the individual financial statements in accordance with IFRS involves the use of estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the implementation of the accounting policies as well as the reported value of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The estimates and judgements are made based on the historic experience as well as on a series of factors considered adequate and reasonable. The accounting estimates and judgements are continuously updated and take into account reasonable expectations with respect to future probable events. The reported accounting values of the assets, the liabilities that cannot be determined or obtained from other sources are based on these estimates considered adequate by the company's management.

Such estimates, as well as the reasoning and assumptions behind them are reviewed on a regular basis and the result thereof is recognized in the time period when the estimate was reviewed.

Any change in the accounting estimates will be recognized prospectively by its inclusion in the result:

  • of the period of time when the change occurs, if it affects only that period of time; or
  • of the period of time when the change occurs and of the subsequent periods, if the change also affects such periods.

The company uses estimates in order to determine:

  • the uncertain customers and the adjustments for impairment of related receivables;
  • the value of the provisions for risks and expenses to set up at the end of the period (month, trimester, year) for litigations, for the dismantling of property, plant and equipment, for collaterals granted to customers, for obligations toward manpower and other obligations;
  • the adjustments for impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. At the end of each reporting period, the company estimates whether there are indications of impairment. If such signs are identified, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to determine the extent of impairment (if any).
  • the lifetimes of property, plant and equipment and intangible fixed assets. The company reviews the estimated life of the tangible and intangible fixed assets at least at the end of each financial year to determine their adequacy.
  • the inventories of raw materials and materials, work in progress and finished products requiring the setting up of adjustments for impairment.
  • deferred taxes.

Disclosure of information

The Company will, to the extent practicable, disclose the nature and value of a change in an accounting estimate that is effective in the current period/future periods.

2.2. Errors

Errors may arise regarding the recognition, evaluation, presentation or description of the items of the financial statements.

The company corrects retroactively the significant errors for the prior period presented in the first set of financial statements approved for publication after discovering the errors, by:

  • restating the comparative values for the prior period presented when the error occurred, or
  • if the error occurred before the prior period presented, by restating the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the prior period presented.

In case of identifying an error, the company presents the following information:

  • the nature of the error for the previous period;
    • for each previous period presented, to the extent possible, the correction value:
      • for each affected line item in the financial statement;
      • for basic and diluted earnings per share.
    • the correction value at the beginning of the earliest period presented;
    • if retrospective restatement is impracticable for a specific prior period, the circumstances leading to the existence of that condition and a description of how and when the error was corrected.

2.3. Changes in the accounting policies

Any change in the accounting policies is only permitted if requested by IFRS or if it results in more relevant or more reliable information with reference to the company operations.

The company modifies an accounting policy only if such change:

  • is required by an IFRS; or
  • results in financial statements that provide reliable and more relevant information with reference to the effects of the transactions, of other events or conditions on the financial performance or cash flows of the entity.
    • Application of changes in the Accounting Policies:
  • the entity takes into account a change in the accounting policy that results from the initial implementation of an IFRS in accordance with the specific transitory provisions, if any, of that IFRS; and
  • at the initial application of an IFRS that does not include specific transitory provisions.

Disclosure of information

When the initial application of an IFRS has an effect on the current or prior period of time, the company discloses in the explanatory notes the following:

  • the title of IFRS;
  • the nature of the accounting policy change;
  • when applicable, the fact that the change is made as an effect of the transitory dispositions and a description of these transitory provisions;
  • for the current period and for each prior period, the amount of adjustments for each affected element of the statement of the financial position, to the extent possible.

When it is impossible to determine the specific effects for one or more prior accounting periods, the company will apply the new accounting policy of assets and liabilities for the first period for which the retroactive application is possible, which may also be the current period.

When a voluntary change in the accounting policy has an effect on the current or prior period, the company discloses in the explanatory notes:

  • the nature of the change of accounting policy;
  • the reasons for which the application of the new accounting policy provides more reliable and relevant information;
  • for the current period and for each prior accounting period, the estimated amount of the adjustments for each affected item of the statement of the financial position, as far as possible.

NOTE 3 - ACCOUNTING AND EVALUATION PRINCIPLES

3.1. Bases for the preparation and presentation of financial statements

The individual financial statements of AEROSTAR S.A. are prepared in accordance with the provisions of:

  • the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the European Union;
  • Accounting Law no. 82/1991, republished, as subsequently amended and supplemented;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 881/2012 on the application of International Financial Reporting Standards by companies with securities admitted for trading on a market regulated by the International Financial Reporting Standards;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 2.844/2016 on the approval of the Accounting Regulations conforming to the International Financial Reporting Standards, as amended and supplemented;
  • OM.F.P. no. 2.861/2009 for the approval of the Norms regarding the organization and execution of the inventories of elements such as assets, liabilities and equities;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 1.826/2003 on the approval of the Explanations regarding some measures of business accounting organization and management;
  • O.M.F.P. no. 2.634/2015 regarding the financial accounting documents, as amended and supplemented.
  • Law no. 24/2017, republished, regarding the issuers of financial instruments and market operations.

The accounting is kept in Romanian and in the national currency.

The accounting for transactions in foreign currency is carried out both in national currency and in foreign currency.

The financial year is the calendar year.

The financial statements are prepared and reported in thousand lei and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand lei. Due to rounding, the numbers presented do not always accurately reflect the totals provided, and the percentages do not accurately reflect absolute figures.

The financial statements are prepared based on historical cost.

The financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The company has opted for a presentation by nature and liquidity in the statement of financial position and a presentation of income and expenses by nature in the statement of profit or loss, considering that these methods offer information relevant to the company's situation.

3.2. Applied Accounting Policies

Aerostar SA describes the accounting policies applied to the individual financial statements and avoids repeating the text of the standard, unless it is considered relevant to understanding the content of the note. Compared to the presentation made at the end of the financial year 2022, no changes were made to the applied accounting principles, methods, policies and procedures.

NOTE 4 – TRANSACTIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

AEROSTAR considers the Romanian LEU as the functional currency and the financial statements are presented in thousand LEI.

The currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate of the functional currency on the date of the transaction.

On the date of the Financial Position Statement, the assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency are evaluated in the functional currency using the exchange rate, communicated by the Romanian National Bank, valid on 30.09.2023:

Currency 30.09.2023 31.12.2022
1 EUR (Euro) 4,9746 lei 4,9474 lei
1 USD (American Dollar) 4,6864 lei 4,6346 lei
1 GBP (British pound) 5,7433 lei 5,5878 lei

The favourable and unfavourable exchange rate differences resulting from the settlement of the assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognized in the Profit or Loss Statement for the financial year in which they occur.

Considering that 82% of the turnover registered in the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating costs is denominated in LEI, the foreign exchange rate variations will affect both its net income and its financial position as expressed in the functional currency.

In the reporting period, the net currency exposure resulted as a difference between the amounts collected from the financial assets and the payment of the financial liabilities denominated in that currency is as follows:

JANUARY - SEPTEMBER 2023 K EUR K USD K GBP
Collected from financial assets 19.396 41.470 -
Payments of financial liabilities (10.479) (24.328) (1.082)
Foreign exchange net exposure 8.917 17.142 (1.082)

In the reporting period, the quarterly variation of the foreign exchange rate USD/LEU was: - 1,10% in the 1st quarter of 2023 compared to 31.12.2022

  • 0,10% in the 2nd quarter of 2023 compared to 31.03.2023

  • 0,60% in the 3rd quarter of 2023 compared to 30.06.2023

and

EUR/LEU:

  • 0,60% in the 1st quarter of 2023 compared to 31.12.2022

  • 0,02% in the 2nd quarter of 2023 compared to 31.03.2023

  • 0,30% in the 3rd quarter of 2023 compared to 30.06.2023

resulted in the recording of a financial profit from favourable exchange rate differences of 1.107 thousand LEI.

Property, plant and equipment are valued at acquisition or production cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

These items of property, plant and equipment are amortized by using the linear method.

Amortization expenses are recognized in the profit and loss statement.

The following useful lifetimes are assumed:

- constructions 30-50 years
- technological equipment 2-25 years
- vehicles 4-18 years
- other property, plant and equipment 2-18 years
- investment property 25-50 years

The useful lifetimes are established by committees consisting of specialists from the company. The useful lifetimes of the property, plant and equipment are stipulated by the fiscal legislation on assets.

The company did not purchase assets from business combinations, nor did it classify assets for future sale.

The investment property contains a number of 12 real estate – buildings that are rented to third parties based on renting contracts.

The value of renting income in this category of fixed assets was 2.065 mii lei. thousand lei.

On the date of transition to IFRS, the company estimated and included in the cost of the property, plant and equipment the estimated costs for their decommissioning at the end of a useful lifetime.

These costs were reflected in the set-up of a provision, which is recorded in the profit and loss account throughout the lifetime of the property, plant and equipment, by inclusion in the amortization expense.

The amortization of an asset begins when the asset is available for use and ends on the day when the asset is reclassified in another category or when it is derecognized.

The amortization does not end when the asset is not in use.

The land and buildings are separable assets, and their accounts are kept separately, even when they are acquired together.

The land has an unlimited useful lifetime and, therefore, is not submitted to amortization.

In accordance with the provisions of IAS 36 - Impairment of assets, the company proceeded to the identification of any signs of impairment of property, plant and equipment, taking into accopunt the external and internal sources of information.

Internal sources of information:

The economic performance of the assets is good, all fixed assets that are in operation benefit the company.

External source of information:

The indicator that offers information regarding the interest from the investors in the companies listed on the capital market is the market capitalization with reference to the company equity (MBR).

indicator MBR-Market to book ratio 30.09.2023 30.09.2022 31.12.2022
Stock exchange capitalization/ company equity 2,5 2,1 2,4

The over-unit value of the MBR indicator is obtained by companies well-listed on the capital market and that are of interest to the investors.

The property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet on 30.09.2023 are not depreciated and no significant depreciation indicators were identified.

The gross accounting value of the fully amortized property, plant and equipment still in operation on 30 Septembrie 2023 is 87.940 thousand lei.

On 30.09.2023 no mortgages were set on the fixed assets owned by Aerostar S.A.

In accordance with the Accounting Policy Manual, various adjustments are set up at Aerostar SA for the inventory depreciation, as follows:

  • for raw material, consumables, semi-finished products and spare parts, different periods are established, for each profit centre;
  • for the inventories of finished products, depreciation adjustments are set up for each period, as follows:

NOTE 17 – DEFERRED PROFIT TAX

The deferred tax is determined for the temporary differences occurring between the tax base of the assets and liabilities and their accounting base. The deferred tax is calculated at a tax rate of 16% applicable to the temporary differences.

The Company estimated and registered liabilities regarding the deferred tax related to immobilized assets (resulting from differences between accounting and fiscal values, different useful lifetimes, etc.) and reserves, and it recognized receivables regarding the deferred tax related to immobilized securities (assets), inventories and trade receivables that were adjusted for depreciation, provisions for customer bonds, provisions for benefits granted to the employees and other provisions.

Structure of the deferred income tax registered on 30.09.2023:

Liabilities from deferred tax

1. Liabilities related to the deferred tax generated by the differences between the
accounting bases (higher) and the fiscal ones (lower) of the non-current assets
1.193
2. Liabilities on deferred tax related to non-current assets-securities 29
3. Liabilities related to the deferred tax concerning legal reserves 1.559
4. Liabilities on deferred tax related to reserves from the fiscal facility 20.778
5. Liabilities on deferred tax related to the result carried forward representing a surplus
from re-evaluation reserves

Total liabilities on deferred tax 23.620

Receivables on deferred tax

1. Receivables on deferred tax related to other provisions
2. Receivables on deferred tax related to provisions for bonds granted to customers 7.431
3. Receivables on deferred tax related to provisions for employee benefits
4. Receivables on deferred tax related to adjustments for depreciation of inventories
5. Receivables on deferred tax related to adjustments for depreciation of trade
receivables
316
Total receivables on deferred tax 17.920

The Company did not recognize receivables on deferred tax related to other provisions for the aviation industry risks due to an uncertainty regarding the fiscal deductibility of the expenses that could arise from the settlement of obligations in the future periods. Therefore, the differences between the tax base and the accounting base would be null.

In the period 1 January 2023 – 30 September 2023, the company registered income from the tax on deferred profit in the amount of 3.639 mii lei and expenses with the tax on deferred profit in the amount of 3.702 thousand lei.

The tax on deferred profit recognized on the account of equity in the amount of 21.828 thousand lei consists of liabilities on deferred tax in the amount of 22.366 thousand lei and receivables on deferred tax in the amount of 538 thousand lei.

NOTE 18 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

A financial instrument is any contract generating simultaneously a financial asset for an entity and a financial liability or an equity instrument for another entity.

The financial assets and liabilities are recognized when AEROSTAR SA becomes part of the contractual provisions of the instrument.

On the reporting date AEROSTAR S.A. does not hold:

  • any financial instruments kept for making transactions (including derived instruments);
  • any financial instruments kept till due date;
  • any financial instruments available for sale.

The financial assets of AEROSTAR S.A. include:

  • cash and cash equivalents;
  • trade receivables;
  • immobilized receivables (bonds for third parties).

The financial liabilities of AEROSTAR S.A. include:

  • trade liabilities.

On the reporting date, AEROSTAR does not have financial any liabilities concerning financial leasing, overdrafts and long-term bank loans.

The main types of risks, generated by the financial instruments held, to which AEROSTAR S.A is exposed are:

  • a) credit risk
  • b) liquidity risk,
  • c) currency risk,
  • d) interest rate risk.

a) Credit risk

The credit risk is the risk that one of the parties involved in a financial instrument generates a financial loss for the other party as a result of the failure to meet a contractual obligation, related mainly to:

  • sight and term deposits held with banks
  • trade receivables;

Sight and term deposits are held only in first-tier banking institutions with the lowest risk ratings.

In some cases, specific instruments of commercial credit risk decrease (receipts in advance, letters of payment bank security, confirmed export letters of credit).

AEROSTAR has no significant exposure to a single partner and no significant concentration of receivables in a single geographical area.

Exposure to credit risk

The accounting value of the financial assets, net of the depreciation adjustments, represents the maximum exposure to the credit risk.

The maximum exposure to the credit risk on the reporting date is presented in the table below:

Balance on 30 September 1.442 747

On 30.09.2023, 96% of the balance of trade receivables are related to customers with a good payment record.

b) Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is the risk that AEROSTAR encounters difficulties to meet the obligations associated to the financial liabilities which are settled by cash payments.

AEROSTAR's policy regarding this risk is to maintain an optimum level of liquidity so as to pay for the liabilities, as they become due.

To evaluate the liquidity risk, the treasury cash flows from operations, investments and financing operations are monitored and reviewed weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly in order to determine the estimated level of net liquidity modifications.

Also, the specific liquidity indicators are reviewed monthly (general liquidity, immediate liquidity and rate of general solvency) against the budgeted levels.

Furthermore, in order to reduce the liquidity risk, AEROSTAR maintains annually a liquidity reserve as a Credit Line (usable as an overdraft) granted by banks to a maximum limit of 2.500 thousand USD.

The time intervals used to review the contractual due dates of the financial liabilities, with a view to recording the timeframe for the cash flows in due time, are shown in the table below:

The cash flows included in the analyses of the due dates are not expected to take place earlier or at significantly different values.

On 30.09.2023 AEROSTAR has no records of overdue financial liabilities.

c) Foreign currency risk

The foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument fluctuate because of the changes in the currency exchange rates.

Exposure to the foreign currency risk

AEROSTAR is exposed to the foreign currency risks, as 82% of the turnover recorded in the reporting period is denominated in USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating expenses is denominated in LEI.

Therefore, AEROSTAR is exposed to the risk that the currency exchange rate variations will affect both its net income and its financial position as expressed in LEI.

The net exposure of the financial assets and liabilities to the foreign exchange risk is presented below based on the carrying amounts denominated in foreign currency recorded at the end of the reporting period:

(unless specified otherwise, all amounts are stated in thousand lei)

Trade liabilities (1.319) (1.739) (90)
Net exposure in original currency 3.548 11.991 (71)

Sensitivity analysis

In view of the net exposure calculated in the above table, Aerostar can be considered to be mainly exposed to the currency risk generated by changes in the USD/USD and EUR/USD exchange rate.

Taking into consideration the evolution of USD/LEU and EUR/LEU exchange rate in the previous years, a relatively high volatility (+/-5%) of the USD/LEU exchange rate and a moderate volatility (+/-2%) of the EUR/LEU exchange rate can be noticed.

Thus, a reasonably possible variation of +/-5% USD/LEU for of the USD/LEU foreign exchange rate and +/-2% for the EUR/LEU foreign exchange rate may be taken into account at the end of the reporting period.

The effect of the reasonably possible variation of the USD/LEU and EUR/LEU exchange rates over the financial result of AEROSTAR is calculated in the following table:

30.09.2023 EUR/LEU USD/LEU
Net exposure, in the currency of origin 3.548 MII EUR 11.991 MII USD
Currency exchange rate 4,9746 4,6864

Possible reasonable variation of exchange +/- 2% +/- 5%
rate
Effect of variation on the financial +/- 353 MII LEI +/- 2.810 MII LEI
result

d) Interest rate risk

For the reporting period AEROSTAR contracted a multi-product Credit Facility of 7.000 thousand USD, intended for financing the Company's operations, which includes:

  • 1) Product A: in the amount of 2.500 thousand USD, usable as an overdraft, set up to provide at any given time the necessary financial liquidity and flexibility (liquidity reserve);
  • 2) Product B: in the amount of 7.000 thousand USD (provided that the aggregate amount used from Product A and product B does not exceed the value of the multi-product Credit Facility), usable under the form of a facility of issuing bonds as instruments to ensure collateral for the commercial contractual obligations by issuing bank bond letters and import Letters of Credit.

The bank interest is applicable only for the overdraft utilized from Product A in amount of 2.500 thousand USD.

As Product A was not used in the reporting period, income and cash flows are independent of changes in bank market interest rates.

On 30.09.2023, the level of bonds granted by AEROSTAR under commercial agreements, by issuing bank bond letters and import Letters of Credit amounts to 9.071 MII LEI (equivalent to 1.936 thousand USD).

On 30.09.2023 no mortgages are set up on the property assets in AEROSTAR ownership.

NOTE 27 - INFORMATION REGARDING THE CASH FLOW

The method used in the Cash Flow Statement is the direct method.

The cash flows statement presents the cash flows and cash equivalents classified by operating activities, investments and financing, thus indicating how AEROSTAR generates and uses the cash and cash equivalents.

In the context of preparing the Cash Flows Statement:

  • the cash flows are the amounts collected and paid in cash and cash equivalents;
  • the cash includes the cash available in the company's cash office and the sight deposits held with banks (available in the current accounts).
  • the cash equivalents comprise the term deposits held with banks.

The treasury cash flows from the transactions made in foreign currency are registered in the functional currency (LEU) by applying to the foreign currency value the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency on the date of the cash flow (date of making payments and collections). The earnings and losses arising from the exchange rate variation are not treasury cash flows. Nevertheless, the effect of the exchange rate variation on the cash and cash equivalent held or owed in foreign currency is reported in the treasury cash flows statement, but separately from the treasury cash flows arising from operations, investments and financing, so as to reconcile the cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the reporting period.

The operating activity is AEROSTAR S.A.'s main cash-generating activity. Thus:

  • the amounts collected from customers were 370.831 thousand LEI;

  • the proceeds from the State Budget amounted to 3,026 thousand LEI, of which 2,420 thousand LEI are VAT and excise duty recoveries and 606 thousand LEI are operating subsidies;

  • payments to the suppliers and employees amounted to 305.321 thousand LEI, of which 228.233 thousand LEI payments to the suppliers and 77.088 thousand LEI payments to the employees;

  • tax payments to the State Budget amounted to 58,584 thousand LEI, of which 48,750 thousand LEI in taxes and payroll taxes, 3,574 thousand LEI in VAT and 4,509 thousand LEI in profit tax.

The operating activity generated net cash of 9,952 thousand LEI, a decrease by 27,912 thousand LEI compared to the same period last year.

The investment activities comprised the following:

  • bank interest receipts of 11,488 thousand LEI from bank deposits.
  • dividends received from Evergent Investments S.A. amounting to 3,645 thousand LEI;
  • dividends received from affiliated entities (FOAR S.R.L.) in the amount of 153 thousand LEI;
  • payments for the purchase of tangible and intangible fixed assets in the amount of 14,109 thousand LEI;
  • payments for the purchase of financial fixed assets in the amount of 10,653 thousand LEI, representing purchases of Evergent Investment S.A. shares (stock symbol: EVER), traded on the Bucharest Stock Exchange;

The shares purchased are held for the collection of dividends as well as for gains from their sale, and not for trading.

Thus, in view of the Public Offer for the purchase of own shares (EVER) initiated by Evergent Investments S.A in December 2022, AEROSTAR decided during January 2023 to participate in the Offer by selling part of the EVER shares held for 5,516 thousand LEI.

This transaction resulted in a gross gain of 814 thousand LEI.

The amount of cash flow allocated so as to increase the operating capacity represents 3% of the aggregate amount of cash used in operating, investing and financing activities.

Within the financing activity, an amount of 26,239 thousand LEI was paid as dividends due to AEROSTAR shareholders.

The level of cash and cash equivalents recorded as on 30.09.2023 is 225,730 thousand LEI, down by 20,443 thousand LEI compared to the beginning of the year.

NOTE 30 – RISK MANAGEMENT

AEROSTAR is exposed to multiple risks and uncertainties that can affect its financial performance. The business lines run by AEROSTAR, the operational results or the financial statements could be affected by the materialization of the risks presented below.

AEROSTAR pursues to secure the average and long-term sustainability and to reduce the uncertainty associated with its strategic and financial objectives.

Risk management processes are in place to ensure that risks are identified, analysed, assessed and managed so as to minimise their effects to an agreed level.

However, there may be risks and uncertainties in addition to those described below, which are not currently known or are considered insignificant, but which in the future may affect the lines of business run by AEROSTAR.

Operational Risk

It is the risk to incur losses or the risk of failure to make the estimated profits, determined by:

  • the use of processes, systems and manpower that were either inadequate or failed to function properly;
  • external events and actions: deterioration of the global economic conditions, natural disaster or other events that can affect AEROSTAR's assets.

Considering the global political turmoil, in the future we may face new types of risks, which is why AEROSTAR closely monitors the main areas of conflict.

The Operational Risk is also associated to the Legal Risk, defined as the risk of loss, resulting from the fines, penalties and sanctions AEROSTAR is liable to in case of non-application or misapplication of legal or contractual dispositions or regulations, as well as due to the fact that the rights and contractual obligations of AEROSTAR and/or of its business partner are not properly established.

The effects of the legal risk are monitored and eliminated through a permanent information system regarding the legislative modifications, as well as by setting up a review, endorsement and approval system for the terms and conditions included in the commercial agreements.

AEROSTAR has allocated and will continue to allocate investment funds and other operational expenses in order to prevent and manage the operational risk.

Moreover, AEROSTAR aims to have at its disposal own funds to cover the risks to which it is exposed, by setting up provisions for risks and related expenses.

Furthermore, in order to mitigate the operational risk, AEROSTAR renews each year a civil liability insurance contract with leading insurance and reinsurance companies for its main lines of business (manufacture of aviation products and maintenance of commercial aircraft).

The Credit Risk is the risk that AEROSTAR might bear a financial loss as a result of the failure to meet the contractual obligations by a partner, being determined mainly by sight and term bank deposits with banks and trade receivables.

Deposits held with banks are placed only with first-tier banking institutions that are considered to have high creditworthiness.

The credit risk, including the country risk for the country where the customer performs its activity, is managed per business partner. When necessary, specific instruments of credit risk mitigation are requested (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 geographical area.

However, there is a remarkable exposure to the global market for Airbus programmes, with a large proportion of the company's products being incorporated into Airbus aircraft.

A presentation of the quantitative information regarding AEROSTAR's exposure to the credit risk is detailed in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) to the Financial Statements.

Liquidity risk is the risk that AEROSTAR will encounter difficulties in meeting its liability obligations as they fall due.

For liquidity risk management purposes, cash flows are monitored and analysed on a weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis to determine the estimated level of net changes in liquidity. These analyses provide the basis for funding decisions and capital commitments.

In order to mitigate liquidity risk, AEROSTAR maintains an annual liquidity reserve in the form of a Credit Line available for use in the form of bank overdrafts in the amount of 2.500 THOUSAND USD. During the reporting period AEROSTAR did not use the Credit Line, as all the Company's activities were financed from its own sources.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices.

AEROSTAR is mainly exposed to the price risk caused by fluctuations in the price of raw materials and materials used in the production processes, caused by exceptional events such as the Brexit Agreement with impact on the supply of material from the UK, the imposition of international sanctions resulting in the limitation of the possibility to supply parts and materials, the increase in costs of specific taxes for import/export of metal products to and from the USA.

This risk is managed by:

  • diversifying the supplier portfolio, which can provide increased negotiating leverage in the event that the price of raw materials increases with some suppliers.
  • concluding long-term contracts with fixed price clauses.

AEROSTAR is exposed to the exchange rate risk because 82% of its turnover is related to USD and EUR, while a significant part of the operating expenses is denominated in LEI.

Thus, AEROSTAR is exposed to the risk that the exchange rate variations will affect both its net income, as well as its financial position, as they are expressed in LEI.

An analysis of AEROSTAR's sensitivity to the foreign exchange rate variations is detailed in Note 18 (Financial Instruments) to the Financial Statements.

As far as the interest rate is concerned, due to the fact that AEROSTAR did not use the contracted Credit Line in the reporting period, the income and cash flows are independent from the interest rate variation on the banking market.

Other aspects concerning risk management are presented in the chapter OPPORTUNITY AND RISK MANAGEMENT of the Board of Directors' Report.

NOTE 31 – PREPAID EXPENSES AND INCOME

2023 2022
Prepaid expenses (short-term) 1.170 617
