This Code defines and illustrates the different types of employee behavior to be proscribed as likely to constitute acts of bribery or influence peddling. It is integrated into the internal rules of the company’s various sites. Any violation is therefore punishable. The Anti-Corruption Code is illustrated by an Anti-Corruption Guide consisting of practical examples and scenarios.

An Internal Alert Procedure that allows employees and outside and occasional agents to signal a crime or offense, violations of international commitments, laws or regulations, or even the Anti-Corruption Code, was also implemented. The Ethics Department is responsible for receiving and processing internal alerts. For this purpose, a dedicated e-mail address accessible to employees equipped with an encryption system has been created. This process has not been activated for acts of corruption or influence peddling for as long as it has existed.

  • For the key performance indicators and other quantitative outcomes 1 that in our judgment were of most significance, we carried out:

  • �x analytical procedures that consisted in verifying the correct consolidation of collected data as well as the consistency of changes thereto;

  • �x substantive tests, on a sampling basis, that consisted in verifying the proper application of definitions and procedures and reconciling data with supporti ng documents. These procedures were conducted for a selection of contributing entities 2 and covered between 15% and 91% of the consolidated data for the key performance indicators and outcomes selected for these tests;

�� We consulted documentary sources and conducted interviews to corroborate the qualitative information 3 (measures and outcomes) that in our judgment were of most significance ;

�� We assessed the overall consistency of the Statement in relation to our knowledge of the company.

Report of the Board of Directors on Cor orate Governance p

Dear Shareholders,

This report is intended to inform you of the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company and of the conditions for preparing and organizing its �Z�R�U�N�����D�O�R�Q�J���Z�L�W�K���W�K�H���F�R�P�S�R�Q�H�Q�W�V���R�I���W�K�H���F�Rmpensation.

This report, prepared in application of Article L.225 -37 of the French Commercial Code, is presented to you along with the Management Report. The Legal Affairs and Insurance Departm ent and the Financial Depar t- ment carried out preparatory checks on the drafting of said report, which was then reviewed by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2019.

Taking account of the structure of its shareholding (the majority of shares are held by GIMD, which belongs to the Dassault family), Dassault Aviation considers that the AFEP/ MEDEF Code does not constitute, taken as a whole, its standard of reference for corporate governance. Nevertheless, Dassault Aviatio n applies princ i- ples with reference to the aforementioned Code, in regard to the independence of the Directors and the compensation of the corporate officers.

Note 1 - Accounting principles

A/ GENERAL PRINCIPLES

On February 27, 2019, the Board of Directors closed and authorized the publication of the Dassault Aviation consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. These consolidated financial statements will be submitted for approval to the General Meeting on May 16, 2019.

A1 Reference standards

A1-1Basis for preparation of financial information

Dassault Aviation Group consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations as adopted by the European Union and applicable on the closing date.

A1-2 Changes in 2018 to the accounting standards applicable to Dassault Aviation

Standards, amendments and interpretations whose application has become mandatory as of January 1, 2018

Since January 1, 2018, the Group has applied the following standards, amendments, and interpretations:

  • IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”,

  • clarifications to IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”,

  • IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”,

  • annual improvements to IFRS 2014-2016,

  • IFRIC 22 “Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration”,

  • IFRS 2 amendment “Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions”.

The impacts of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 application on the Group financial statements are detailed below.

The other texts have no impact on the Group consolidated financial statements.

Standards, amendments and interpretations whose application is mandatory after January 1, 2018

The texts presented below were not applied in advance by the Group when that option was offered.

  • The texts adopted by the European Union, which must be applied after January 1, 2018, are as follows:

  • IFRS 16 “Leases”, applicable as of January 1, 2019. The Group initiated its work of implementation. When a lease is signed, this standard requires the recognition of a right of use on the assets in counterpart of a liability corresponding to discounted future payments. The amount of the liability will depend substantially on the assumptions made regarding the discount rate and the commitments’ duration. The identification of leases and the collection of data necessary for an accurate estimate of the impact on the balance sheet of the first application of IFRS 16 are in progress. Impacts related to the implementation of IFRS 16 will mainly concern real estate leases. The Group has chosen the simplified retrospective transition method,

  • IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment", applicable as of January 1, 2019.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 121

Consolidated Financial Statements

  • The main texts published by the IASB and not yet adopted by the European Union include:

  • amendment to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures", applicable as of January 1, 2019,

  • annual improvements to IFRS 2015-2017, applicable as of January 1, 2019,

  • amendments to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, applicable as of January 1, 2019,

  • amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, applicable as of January 1, 2020,

  • amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, applicable as of January 1, 2020,

  • amendments to the conceptual framework, applicable starting January 1, 2020.

The impacts of these texts on the Group financial statements are currently being assessed.

Implementation of IFRS 15

IFRS 15, which is mandatory for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, deals with the recognition of “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. It replaces IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and IAS 18 “Revenue”.

More specifically, this standard requires:

  • a segmentation of contracts into performance obligations,

  • the factors to be taken into account in determining the transaction price, in particular a financing component when it is significant,

  • criteria to demonstrate the progressive transfer of control of the assets and to recognize the revenue over time,

  • a methodology to determine the stage of completion. In this respect, the Group will apply the cost-tocost method,

  • new principles regarding the assessment whether an entity is a principal or an agent with respect to a contract,

  • the notion of ‘transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations’, which is similar to the backlog.

The impacts of IFRS 15 on Thales financial statements are presented in their financial statements.

Due to the implementation of IFRS 15, the revenue from certain performance obligations will be recognized by the Group at a different pace than with the former standard. However, revenue and margin will only be deferred from one period to another; the economy of the contract remains the same. The implementation of IFRS 15 has therefore no impact on cash flow.

Segmentation of contracts into performance obligations

IFRS 15 requires the segmentation of contracts into performance obligations when certain criteria are fulfilled for promises identified in a contract, with differentiated margin rates per performance obligation. If the criteria are not fulfilled, the promises of the contract must be bundled until a separate performance obligation is identified. The provisions set out in the standard have brought the Group to combine certain obligations that it had previously recognized separately as revenue under the former standard. This is especially the case of program management services and certain development services that do not meet the criteria defined by the standard to qualify as separate performance obligations.

However, the impact of this restatement on the financial statements, which generates time lags in revenue and margin recognition, is limited.

122 2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION

DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP

Determination of transaction price

IFRS 15 specifies the elements to be taken into account when determining the transaction price. The standard provides, in particular, that the selling price be adjusted for the financing components deemed significant, to reflect a “cash sale price” for the service provided. The financing component exists when there is, for a given contract, a significant difference between the moment when the receipts are received and the moment when the revenue is recognized.

For the Group, the financing component is significant for long-term Defense contracts (primarily Rafale sales contracts), whose financing plan provides for the payment of significant advance payments and whose revenue from the majority of the performance obligations is recognized upon delivery of the goods.

Revenue, and therefore the operating income, from the relevant contracts are thus increased by this financing component, offset by a financial expense recognized over the term of the contract.

This impact is, however, partially offset by the financing component recognized for advance payments to cocontractors, when the Group acts as principal on a contract, which is the case for Rafale Export contracts.

Recognition of revenue over time or at a point in time

According to the former standard, revenue from goods (representing around 80% of the Group’s revenue in 2017) was recognized when the good was delivered (generally upon transfer of ownership), whereas revenue related to services was recognized over time according to the milestones set forth in contract.

IFRS 15 standard sets out criteria for determining whether the transfer of control of goods and services to the customer is progressive and, if necessary, recognizing revenue over time. In certain situations, it is necessary to demonstrate that the good sold has no alternative use and that the Group has an irrevocable right to payment (including a reasonable margin) for work carried out to date, in the event of termination of the contract for the convenience of the customer.

The detailed analysis of the Group’s portfolio of contracts led to the confirmation that, for the majority of its contracts, the criteria of IFRS 15 for the recognition of revenue over time were not met, in particular for Rafale sales and sales of Falcon civil aircraft whose alternative use could be demonstrated. The reclassification of contracts recognized under the former standard at a point in time to be recognized using the percentage of completion method is thus limited. Revenue will continue to be recognized when the goods are delivered in the majority of cases.

Revenue from performance of services is, as previously, recognized over time, if the criteria of IFRS 15 are met, as is the case for maintenance contracts. Services for which the criteria of IFRS 15 are not met, as is the case for certain development contracts, will continue to be recognized at the end of the service provided.

Completion method

Under the former standard, revenue from services recognized as a percentage of completion was generally recognized based on billing milestones that attested to the actual progress of part of the work or the performance of the services provided for by the contract. Under IFRS 15, the percentage-of-completion method used by the Group will be the cost-to-cost method: whereby revenue is recognized based on costs incurred at a given date divided by total costs expected at completion. For each contract, depending on the stage of completion and the type of milestones achieved and costs incurred during the period, this change in method may lead to defer the recognition of revenue and margin from one period to another. However, the impact of this on the Group’s financial statements is non-material.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 123

Consolidated Financial Statements

Agent / principal

IFRS 15, which defines when an entity is agent or principal, does not call into question the analysis that had been conducted with regard to the former standard, namely that the Group acts as principal for the Rafale Export contracts. The Group will continue to recognize the revenue from those contracts on a gross basis.

Backlog

IFRS 15 introduces the notion of “transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations”, which is similar to the backlog. For the Group, the implementation of the standard’s provisions results in the inclusion in the measurement of its backlog of contract price revisions (in connection with the application of the provisions regarding estimates of variable amounts) and the financing component for the contracts for which it was deemed significant.

Transition method

Given the Group has chosen the full retrospective method, the financial statements as of December 31, 2018 include the 2017 comparative financial statements restated for the effects of the application of this new standard.

Implementation of IFRS 9

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” replaces IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. It covers accounting rules applicable to financial instruments in three main areas: classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, impairment, and hedge accounting.

Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities

IFRS 9 provides a single approach for the classification and measurement of financial assets based on the asset characteristics and the Group management intention.

The main impact of this standard for the Group concerns the classification and valuation of financial assets classified as available-for-sale securities under the former standard. This means that:

  • available-for-sale marketable securities are reclassified as other current financial assets. Changes in unrealized gains formerly recognized in income and expense recognized directly through equity that were recycled as profit or loss upon the disposal of securities will now be recognized in the financial income. Since IFRS 9 applies retrospectively, the amount of unrealized gains recorded as other income and expenses recognized directly in equity as of December 31, 2017 is reclassified as reserves as of January 1, 2018. The amount of reclassified unrealized gains is EUR 377 million before tax,

  • unlisted equity securities and listed Embraer securities are reclassified as other non-current financial assets. Changes in fair value and gains or losses on disposal will be recognized under other income and expense directly recorded under equity, without any effect to profit or loss. Only dividends continue to be recognized in profit or loss.

DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP

Impairment of receivables

The transition from an impairment of trade receivables based on recognized losses to a method based on expected losses has no material impact on the Group’s financial statements due to:

  • the nature of customers (States) for military trade receivables,

  • the fact that the majority of Falcon sales are made in cash, as credit sales receivables are otherwise covered by insurance or collateral,

  • the provisioning methods already practiced by the Group for each kind of trade receivable.

Hedge accounting

The provisions of IFRS 9 on hedges have no significant impact on the Group’s financial statements. Hedging instruments not eligible for hedge accounting under IAS 39 remain not eligible under IFRS 9.

Transition method

IFRS 9 has been applied retrospectively as from January 1, 2018. Comparative figures for 2017 have not been restated in accordance with the standard.

A2 Key Management choices and estimates

To prepare the Group’s financial statements, Management is required to make estimates and issue assumptions that could have an impact on the amounts entered in the balance sheet and in the income statement.

These estimates concern in particular:

  • the results of contracts in progress,

  • the calculation of provisions for contingencies and charges and provisions for impairment,

  • the calculation of development costs that meet capitalization criteria,

  • the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

These estimates are calculated by taking into account past experience, elements known at the closing date and any reasonable change assumptions.

Subsequent results may therefore differ from such estimates.

A3 Presentation of consolidated financial statements

Consolidated balance sheet items are presented as Current/Non-current. The Group’s activities have long operating cycles. As a result, the assets/liabilities generally realized/settled in the context of the operating cycle (inventories and work-in-progress, contract assets and liabilities, receivables, payables, etc.) are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as current assets and liabilities, without distinction between the amount due within one year and the amount due at more than one year.

Consolidated income statement items are presented by nature.

Net operating income represents all income and expenses not arising from financial activities, equity associates, discontinued operations or operations being sold, and income taxes. It is composed of two separate parts: current operating income and other non-current income and expenses. Only significant unusual items are recorded in other non-current income and expenses.

A4 Segment reporting

IFRS 8, “Operating Segments”, requires the presentation of information according to internal management criteria. The activity of the Dassault Aviation Group relates entirely to the aerospace domain. The internal reporting made to the Chairman-Chief Executive Officer and to the Chief Operating Officer, which is used for strategy and decision-making, includes no performance analysis, as defined by IFRS 8, at a level lower than this sector.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 129

Consolidated Financial Statements

B/ CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES AND METHODS

B1 Scope and methods of consolidation

B1-1 Companies under exclusive control

Companies over which Dassault Aviation exercises exclusive control, directly or indirectly, are fully consolidated if their significance justifies it.

B1-2 Companies under significant influence

Companies over which Dassault Aviation exercises significant influence, directly or indirectly, are consolidated using the equity method if their relative importance justifies it.

B1-3 Companies under joint control

Joint arrangements classified as joint venture are accounted for using the equity method if their relative size justifies it.

B1-4 Consolidation thresholds

For the application of the factor of relative significance, a company controlled by the Group or in which it has significant influence is included in the scope of consolidation if all of the following criteria are met:

  • total assets and liabilities exceed 2% of the equivalent Group totals;

  • total net sales exceed 2% of the Group total;

  • equity exceeds 3% of the Group total.

B1-5 Elimination of inter-company transactions

All material inter-company transactions, and internal gains and losses included in non-current assets, are eliminated in the inventories and work-in-progress of consolidated companies.

B2 Closing date

All consolidated companies close their fiscal years on December 31.

B3 Conversion of financial statements of subsidiaries outside the euro area

The currency used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the euro.

The financial statements of non-euro area subsidiaries are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at the year-end rate;

  • the income statement is translated at the average annual rate.

Currency translation adjustments are recognized in equity and do not impact the income statement.

C/ VALUATION PRINCIPLES

C1 Goodwill and business combinations

No business combinations have occurred since January 1, 2010, the date when revised IFRS 3 came into force.

Business combinations prior to January 1, 2010 were recognized using the acquisition method as defined by IFRS 3 before revision.

The assets and liabilities identified are recognized at their fair value on the acquisition date.

Goodwill is the difference between the acquisition cost of investments and the share of the revalued net assets.

Goodwill is recognized:

  • if it is negative, in net income,

  • if it is positive, in balance sheet assets as:

  • “goodwill” if the company is fully consolidated,

  • “equity associates” if the company is consolidated under the equity method.

Goodwill can be adjusted within twelve months following the acquisition date to take into account the final estimate of the fair value of the purchased assets and liabilities.

Goodwill is not amortized. It is subject to an impairment test at each year-end, or if an indication of impairment has been detected (see C3 Impairment value and recoverable value).

When IFRS were initially applied, Dassault Aviation chose not to restate goodwill recognized prior to January 1, 2004. The goodwill recognized on this date represents the value net of any previously recognized amortization.

C2 Intangible assets and property, plant & equipment

C2-1 Accounting principles

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are recognized at acquisition or production cost, less accumulated depreciation or amortization and impairment.

Each identified component of an intangible asset or item of property, plant and equipment is recognized and depreciated or amortized separately.

Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method. No residual value is taken into account, except for aircraft.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are reviewed at each year-end for material non-current assets.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 131

Consolidated Financial Statements

In accordance with IAS 38 “Intangible Assets” concerning development costs, the Group determines the development phase of its programs that meets the criteria for capitalization. Development costs are capitalized if they satisfy the following three determining criteria:

  • the technical criterion is met when the period for validation of results after the maiden flight has elapsed without calling the project into question;

  • the economic criterion is validated by the orders placed or options obtained on the date the technical requirement is considered satisfied;

  • the financial information reliability criterion is satisfied for significant programs because the information system differentiates research and development phases. If such a distinction cannot be made, as may be the case for minor developments (e.g. modification, improvement, etc.), those development costs are not capitalized.

The asset must generate clearly identifiable future economic benefits attributable to a specific product.

Capitalized development costs are valued at the production cost. They are amortized on the basis of the number of aircraft delivered during the year, divided by an estimated number of aircraft to be delivered under the program.

C2-2 Useful lives

Useful lives are as follows:

Software 3-4 years
Development costs depend on the number of units to be produced
Industrial buildings 20-25 years
Office buildings 20-25 years
Fixtures and fittings 7-15 years
Plant, equipment and tools 3-10 years
Aircraft 4-15 years
Rolling stock 4 years
Other property, plant and equipment 3-10 years
Used goods on a case-by-case basis

The initial useful life of an asset is extended or reduced if the conditions in which the asset is used justify it.

C2-3 Derecognition

Any gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an asset (difference between the net disposal gain and the net carrying value) is included in the income statement in the year of derecognition.

C3 Impairment and recoverable value of tangible and intangible assets and goodwill

In accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Non-Current Assets”, all non-current assets (tangible and intangible), and goodwill are subject to an impairment test when an indication of impairment is detected, and at least once a year on December 31 for goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.

Indications of impairment derive from significant adverse changes of a lasting nature, affecting the economic environment or the assumptions or objectives used by the Group.

132 2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION

DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP

Impairment tests consist of ensuring that the recoverable values of the tangible assets, intangible assets and cash-generating units to which the goodwill is assigned are at least equal to their net book value. Otherwise, impairment is recognized in net income and the net book value of the asset is reduced to its recoverable value.

The recoverable value of a tangible or intangible asset is the higher value between its fair value, less the costs of disposal, and its value in use.

The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit corresponds to its value in use. Each consolidated company represents a cash-generating unit, i.e.: the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows and outflows.

The value in use of an asset is calculated using the discounted future cash flow method, with a post-tax discount rate of 7.2% (compared to 7.5% as of December 31, 2017) and a 2% long-term growth rate (same as of December 31, 2017). The discount rate used includes the rates prevailing in the aviation industry and was calculated using the same method as in 2017. Post-tax cash flows are projected over a period not exceeding 5 years and the method takes into account a terminal value. These future cash flows result from the economic assumptions and projected operating conditions adopted by Management.

When a cash-generating unit needs to be impaired, the impairment is first of all applied to the goodwill then, if appropriate, to the other assets of the cash-generating unit proportionate to their net book value amount. Impairments may be reversed, except for those relating to goodwill.

C4 Equity associates

Investments in equity associates undergo an impairment test once there are objective indications of any long-term loss in value.

Impairment is recognized if the recoverable value is lower than the carrying amount, with the recoverable value being equivalent to the value in use, as defined in paragraph C3, or the fair value net of transaction costs, whichever is higher.

Concerning the equity investment in Thales, when an impairment test is carried out, the operational and financial assumptions used come directly from data provided directly by Thales Management.

Impairment may be reversed if the recoverable value once again exceeds the carrying value.

- C5 Non current financial assets

C5-1 Unlisted securities and Embraer shares

For listed assets (Embraer shares), fair value corresponds to the market price as of the balance sheet date. These items are classified as level 1 (according to IFRS 13).

For non-listed unconsolidated investments, in the absence of any external valuation elements, fair value represents the Group’s share in net assets plus any significant unrealized gains. Fair value is calculated on the basis of the most recent financial statements available at year-end. These items are classified as level 3 (according to IFRS 13).

Changes in fair value and gains or losses on disposal for these shares will be recognized under other income and expense directly recorded through equity, without any effect to profit or loss. Only dividends continue to be recognized in profit or loss.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 133

Consolidated Financial Statements

C5-2 Other financial assets

Other financial assets mainly comprise guarantee deposits, loans granted to investments in non consolidated companies and loans granted to employees for a housing loan.

Loans are recognized at amortized cost (historical cost less repayments). Other assets are recognized at their historical cost.

- - C6 Inventories and work in progress

Incoming raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods inventories are measured at acquisition cost for items purchased and production cost for items produced. Outgoing inventories are valued at the weighted average cost, except for used aircraft which are stated at acquisition cost. Work-in-progress is stated at production cost.

Inventories and work-in-progress are impaired when their net realizable value is less than their carrying amount.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs for completion and making the sale. It takes into account the technical or commercial obsolescence of articles and the risks associated with their low turnover.

C7 Receivables

Trade and other receivables are presented separately on the balance sheet. They are systematically classified as current assets.

Receivables resulting from finance leases are presented under “Trade and other receivables”. They represent the discounted amount of the expected lease revenues, plus the residual value of the aircraft at the end of the finance lease.

A provision for impairment is recorded when the recoverable value of a receivable is lower than the book value.

The recoverable amount of a receivable is estimated based on expected losses and takes into account the type of customer and the history of payments.

The receivable is written down in the amount of the estimated risk for the portion not covered by credit insurance (Bpifrance Assurance Export or collateral).

Non written-down receivables are recent receivables and/or receivables with no material credit risk.

Foreign currency receivables, translated by each subsidiary into their local currency at the day’s rate, are revalued at each closing on the basis of the closing rate. Revaluation differences are recognized in operating income.

C8 Other current financial assets

These mainly correspond to cash investments in the form of marketable securities.

They are recognized at fair value, corresponding to the market price as of the balance sheet date. These items are classified as level 1 (according to IFRS 13).

Changes in fair value and gains or losses on the sale of these securities are recognized as financial income.

134 2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION

DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP

C9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents satisfy the criteria set forth in IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”: short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are not subject to a material risk of changes in value.

They are initially recognized at acquisition cost, and subsequently at fair value; this is the market price on the account closing date for listed securities.

The changes in fair value and net disposal gains or losses are recognized in financial income as income from cash and cash equivalents.

C10 Treasury shares

C10-1 Treasury shares

Treasury shares are deducted from equity at their acquisition cost. Any gains or losses from the sale of treasury shares are recognized directly in equity and do not impact income for the period.

C10-2 Share-based payments

Dassault Aviation has plans in place to grant performance shares. These allotments are recognized as an expense representing the fair value of the services rendered by the beneficiaries.

The fair value of the services is determined by reference to the fair value of the shares on the grant date, adjusted for dividends not received during the vesting period and the cost of non-transferability.

The performance conditions are taken into account when estimating the number of shares to be granted at the end of the vesting period.

The benefits granted constitute personnel expenses and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. This expense is recognized against consolidated reserves.

C11 Provisions for contingencies and charges

C11-1 Warranties

Within the framework of sales or procurement contracts, Dassault Aviation has formal warranty obligations for the equipment, products and/or services (software development, systems integration, etc.) delivered.

These obligations can be distinguished between:

  • “current” warranty: repair of defective equipment during the contractual warranty period or by implicit obligations, handling hardware or software malfunctions identified following qualification and handover to users, etc.

  • “regulatory” warranty: treatment by the manufacturer of any changes to the regulatory framework determined by the regulatory authorities or any regulatory non-compliance identified by the manufacturer or a user after delivery of materials or products.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 135

Consolidated Financial Statements

Determining the amount of the warranty provisions is mainly done as follows:

  • for the current equipment warranty: based on experience with recorded costs, depending on the warranty items covered contractually and the aircraft models in question;

  • for handling of malfunctions or regulatory changes and nonconformities: based on estimates established by specialists from the business lines affected by the corrective actions to be implemented; these corrections have been identified in “technical files”.

C11-2 Retirement costs

Commitments to employees for retirement costs are provisioned for the obligations remaining. The commitments are estimated for all employees on the basis of vested rights and a projection of current salaries, after taking into account the mortality risk, employee turnover, and a discounting assumption. The rates have been determined based on the yield for top-ranking corporate long-term bonds, with maturity equivalent to the duration of the calculated liabilities.

The Group applies revised IAS 19 which stipulates:

  • the recognition of all actuarial adjustments in income and expense recognized directly through equity;

  • immediate recognition of the cost of past services;

  • alignment of the expected return from the plan’s assets to the discount rates;

  • the recognition of only the administrative costs relating to management of the assets as a deduction from their actual return.

The provision that appears in the balance sheet corresponds to the total commitment net of plan assets. The impact on the income statement is fully recognized in operating income.

C12 Borrowings and payables

Foreign currency borrowings and payables, translated by each subsidiary into their local currency at the day’s rate, are revalued at each closing on the basis of the closing rate. Revaluation differences are recognized in operating income.

Loans taken out by the Group are initially recorded at the amount received net of transaction costs, and subsequently at the amortized cost, calculated using the effective interest rate.

C13 Discounting of receivables, payables and provisions

Receivables and payables are recognized for their discounted amounts when the payment date is more than one year and the effects of the discounting are significant.

The provisions relating to the retirement costs and other long-term benefits are discounted in accordance with IAS 19 “Employee benefits”.

Other provisions are stated at present value.

In accordance with IFRS standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

136 2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION

DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP

C14 Derivative financial instruments

C14-1 Derivative financial instruments subscribed by the Group

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to risks from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and, more marginally, from fluctuations in commodity prices.

These risks mainly arise from US dollar-denominated sales. The corresponding future cash flows are partially hedged using forward exchange contracts and currency options.

Interest rate risks result from variable rate borrowings contracted by the Group. Interest rate risks are hedged using interest rate swaps.

C14-2 Evaluation and recognition of derivatives

Upon initial recognition, derivatives are booked at acquisition cost in the balance sheet under “Derivative Financial Instruments”.

They are subsequently stated at fair value, calculated on the basis of the market price communicated by the relevant financial institutions and the market parameters observed on the closing date, taking into account any counterparty risks. The valuation of financial instruments is level 2 (according to IFRS 13).

The Group applies hedge accounting when the criteria defined by IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” are met. Foreign exchange derivatives are documented, on a case-by-case basis, on the basis of spot or forward prices.

Derivatives eligible for hedge accounting are recognized as follows:

  • changes in fair value of hedging instruments are posted, net of tax, to other income and expense recognized through equity, with the exception of the ineffective amount of the hedge, if any, which is recognized in income;

  • when the cash flow is received, the gain or loss on the foreign exchange hedging instrument is recognized in income;

  • interest on interest rate hedging instruments, for the elapsed period, is recognized as financial income.

If a derivative, chosen for the effectiveness of the economic hedging it provides, does not meet the conditions required by the hedge accounting standard (foreign exchange options), then changes in its fair value are recognized in financial income.

C15 Net sales and key figures

C15-1 Recognition of net sales and operating income

The results on completion are based on estimates of net sales and costs at completion (taking into account the Program Departments’ forecasts) which are revised as the contract progresses and take into account the latest known events at the closing date. The potential losses on completion are recognized as soon as they are known.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 137

Consolidated Financial Statements

Sale of goods

Net sales and net income are recognized over time if the transfer of control of goods is progressive and at a given moment otherwise.

For the majority of its contracts, the criteria of IFRS 15 for the recognition of revenue over time are not met, in particular for Rafale sales and sales of Falcon civil aircraft whose alternative use could be demonstrated. Revenue is therefore recognized when the goods are delivered in the majority of cases.

Finance leases are recognized as credit sales in application of IAS 17 “Leases”.

Sale of services

Revenue from performance of services is recognized over time, if the criteria of IFRS 15 are met, as it is the case for maintenance contracts. The percentage-of-completion method used by the Group will be the costto-cost method: whereby revenue is recognized based on costs incurred at a given date divided by total costs expected at completion.

Services for which the criteria of IFRS 15 are not met, as it is the case for certain development contracts, are recognized at the end of the service provided.

Agent / principal

Contracts involving co-contractors for which Dassault Aviation is the sole signatory are analyzed to determine the Company’s status as a principal or agent. If the analysis classifies the Company as an agent, only the proportionate share of net sales due to the agent is recognized. Otherwise, the entirety of net sales and related expenses (including the co-contractors’ parts) is recognized.

The impacts of IFRS 15 on the Group’s financial statements are presented in Note A1-2.

C15-2 Tax credits for competitiveness and employment and research tax credits

The amounts acquired as tax credits for competitiveness and employment by the French companies of the Group are deducted from personnel expenses.

Research tax credits are included in operating income in “other revenue” when obtaining them does not depend on the realization of a tax profit.

C15-3 Net financial income

Net financial income primarily represents:

  • financial income related to cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets;

  • financial expenses related to loans taken out by the Group and locked-in employee profit-sharing funds;

  • the financing component when there is, for a given contract, a significant difference between the moment when the receipts are received and the moment when the revenue is recognized,

  • dividends from non-consolidated companies recognized when the Group – as shareholder – is entitled to receive payment;

  • financial income from financial lease transactions;

  • losses and gains on derivative instruments that do not meet the conditions required by the standard for hedge accounting.

138 2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION

DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP

C16 Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes linked to temporary differences are calculated per company.

In accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 “Income Taxes”, deferred tax assets are only recognized, for each company, insofar as the estimated future profits are sufficient to cover these assets and their maturity does not exceed ten years.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is paid, based on local tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted by year-end.

Note 3 - Goodwill

Goodwill totaled EUR 14,366 thousand as of December 31, 2018 and as of December 31, 2017.

As the tests performed in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” did not indicate any impairment loss, no provision for goodwill impairment was recognized. A 10% variation in the discount rate and the long-term growth rate does not affect the absence of goodwill impairment.

Pursuant to IFRS, the goodwill for Thales, which is consolidated under the equity method, is included under “Equity associates” (see Note 5).

The decline in inventories and work-in-progress resulting from the Falcon activity was partially offset by the increase of work-in-progress related to Rafale Export contracts.

On December 31, 2017, the Group has assessed a first impact of the end of the Falcon 5X program on its assets and liabilities. Following the cancellation in 2018 of the last Falcon 5X customers’ orders, the Group carried out a new evaluation of these impacts. As a consequence, the Group has notably reduced the net value of inventories and work-inprogress relating to the F5X program to zero.

12.3 Provisions for retirement payments

12.3.1 Calculation methods (defined benefit plans)

Retirement payment commitments are calculated for all Group employees using the projected unit credit method. They are provisioned in full for the remaining obligations.

Employment projections are weighted using French insurance code mortality rates and the recorded employee turnover rate (this may vary according to age). The obligation is estimated and prorated to the employee’s length of service at the end of the period in relation to their total career expectancy.

Note that no Group companies have commitments for medical insurance plans.

(1) in 2017, the change in the statutory severance pay scale included in the “Labor Market Modernization Act” (“Loi de Modernisation du Marché du Travail”) contributed to the increase in the provision for retirement costs of EUR 18,344 thousand.

A 0.50 point decrease in the discount rate would increase the total commitment by EUR 61,442 thousand, while a 0.50 point increase in the discount rate would decrease the total commitment by EUR 54,923 thousand.

Note 24 - Financial risk management

24.1 Cash and liquidity risks

24.1.1 Financial debt

The Group has no significant risk in relation to its financial debt. The contracts for these loans include the usual default clauses and restrictions in terms of security conditions and merger or sale transactions. One of the loan clauses stipulates an early repayment would be demanded if GIMD were to hold less than 50% of the capital of Dassault Aviation before the loan maturity date. These loans do not contain any accelerated repayment or prepayment clauses based on rating or financial ratios. The features of these loans are described in Note 11.

24.1.2 Cash, cash equivalents and other current financial assets

The Group investment portfolio is primarily composed of money market investments with no significant risk of impairment.

In addition, most of them are backed by guarantees, which limits the risk of loss of value.

The Group can therefore meet its commitments without any liquidity risk due to its cash resources and its portfolio of marketable securities. The Group is not faced with restrictions with regard to the availability of its cash and its portfolio of marketable securities.

24.2 Credit and counterparty risks

24.2.1 Credit risk on bank counterparties

The Group allocates its investments and performs its cash and foreign exchange transactions with recognized financial institutions. The Group has no investments or accounts with financial institutions presenting a significant risk of default.

24.2.2 Customer default risk

The Group limits counterparty risk by performing most of its sales in cash and ensuring that the loans are secured by export insurance guarantees (Bpifrance Assurance Export) or collateral. The share of receivables not covered by these procedures is subject to regular individual monitoring and, if necessary, a provision for impairment.

Given the arrangements in risk mitigation that are in place, and the provisions made in its accounts, the Group’s residual exposure to the risk of default by a customer in a country subject to uncertainties is limited.

The amount of export insurance guarantees and collateral obtained and not exercised at year-end appear in the table of off-balance sheet commitments (see Note 25).

The manufacturing risk is also guaranteed with Bpifrance Assurance Export for major military export contracts.

24.3 Other market risks

24.3.1 Market risks

The Group covers risks from exchange rates, interest rates and changes in the price of raw materials using derivative financial instruments whose book value is presented below:

Exchange rate derivatives

The Group is exposed to a foreign exchange risk through the Parent Company in relation to its Falcon sales, which are virtually all denominated in US dollars. This risk is partially hedged by using forward currency contracts and foreign exchange options.

The Group partially hedges its cash flows that are considered highly probable. It ensures that the initial future cash flows will be sufficient to use the foreign exchange hedges in place. The hedged amount may be adjusted as a function of changes over time in expected net cash flows.

The derivative financial instruments used by the Group (foreign exchange hedging instruments) along with their recognition under hedge accounting principle as defined by IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” are defined in paragraph C14 of the accounting principles.

Interest rate derivatives

The Group is exposed to the volatility of interest rates through loans taken out at a variable rate (see Note 11). The loans were swapped at a fixed rate to limit this risk.

Commodity derivatives

The Group marginally uses derivatives to hedge its exposure to changes in kerosene prices. The Group no longer has any commodity derivatives in its portfolio as of December 31, 2018.

24.3.4 Risks related to Embraer shares

On December 31, 2018, the Embraer shares were valued at EUR 32,547 thousand (see Note 6). The Group is exposed to a currency risk on its stake in Embraer, which is listed in reals on the Brazilian market, and a price risk related to the fluctuation in the share price. A 10% upward or downward variation in the exchange rate and/or share price would have no significant impact on the Group’s equity and results.

Note 26 - Contingent assets and liabilities

At the end of 2017, Dassault Aviation initiated negotiations with Safran Aircraft Engines to obtain compensation for its damages as part of the termination process of the Silvercrest contract leading to the end of the Falcon 5X program. In 2018, Dassault Aviation signed an amicable agreement with Safran that settled their dispute over the Silvercrest engine that was expected to equip the Falcon 5X. Under the terms of this agreement, Dassault Aviation received an indemnity of USD 280 million from Safran. The corresponding income was recognized as a non-current operating income in the Group financial statements as of December 31, 2018.

There are no more contingent assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2018.

Statutory auditors' report on the consolidated financial statements

Year ended December 31, 2018


To the Annual General Meeting of Dassault Aviation Company,

Opinion

In compliance with the engagement entrusted to us by your annual general meeting we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Dassault Aviation Company for the year ended December 31, 2018.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities and of the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

The audit opinion expressed above is consistent with our report to the Audit Committee.

Basis for Opinion

Audit Framework

We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Statutory Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.

Independence

We conducted our audit engagement in compliance with independence rules applicable to us, for the period from January 1, 2018 to the date of our report and specifically we did not provide any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5 paragraph 1 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 or in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory auditors.

Observation

Without qualifying the opinion expressed above, we draw your attention to Note “A1-2 Change in 2018 in the accounting standard applicable to Dassault Aviation” of the notes to the consolidated financial statements which sets out changes in accounting methods relating to the application, as from January 1, 2018 of IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and IFRS 9 “Financial instruments”.

The Group’s Management believes that the program monitoring process conducted by experienced employees in Program Departments and the Finance Department through management control is sufficiently robust to make reliable estimates of earnings of contracts at completion given the items known at the end of the year.

For a selection of contracts, for which there was a significant change in margin of the estimated margin level compared with previous estimates, we sought to explain the origin of the changes observed in order to corroborate these with technical and operational justifications for the basis of our experience and interviews with the relevant management;

For the 2018 financial year, Defense net sales recognized by the Group increased to €2,484 million.

The monitoring of Defense contracts is a key point of the audit due to:

the level of estimates required to determine earnings upon the completion of contracts, and their amount.

We also assessed the appropriateness of the information given in Notes C11-1, C15, items 12.2, 14 and 15 of the consolidated financial statements.

Valuation of warranty provisions
(Note C11-1 and item 12.2 of the notes to the
consolidated financial statements)
Dassault Aviation provides “regular” warranties for
its aircraft deliveries against hardware or software
defects and is required to remedy any regulatory
non-compliance identified after the delivery of the
necessary equipment. These warranties therefore
constitute a commitment for the Company. The costs
of this commitment must be provisioned upon
delivery of the airplane.
The estimated amount of the provisions is based on
the data and expenses recorded by airplane model
and type of transactions taken as collateral and on
estimated costs, in particular cost estimates for
specialists, handling of malfunctions and regulatory
non-compliance. Given the fleet in service and the
variety of costs potentially incurred, provisions for
warranties are determined by complex models that
require
judgments
by
several
Operational
Departments.
Management’s valuation of these commitments
caused Dassault Aviation to recognize provisions for
warranties of €904 million as at December 31, 2018.
The valuation of these provisions is a key point of
the audit due to:

the level of judgment required for their
determination,

the complex nature of their valuation,

their amount,

and, consequently, the potentially significant
impact on earnings and consolidated equity if
their estimates vary.
On the basis of discussions with the relevant
Operational Departments, we took note of the
procedures to identify the risks to be guaranteed and
the procedures put in place to determine the costs
and other data used as a basis for the valuation of
provisions for guarantees. We also tested the
functioning of internal key controls that we
considered relevant to our audit.
In addition, our work consisted of:

assessing
the
adequacy
of
the
funding
methodology used by the Group’s management
and the judgments exercised by it,

assessing, through discussions with the relevant
Operational Departments, the reasonableness
of
the
assumptions
used
to
determine
provisions for guarantees,

randomly testing the observed data and costs
used for the valuation of the provisions and the
calculations made.
We also assessed the appropriateness of the
information given in Note C11-1 and item 12.2 of the
notes to the consolidated financial statements.

We attest that the consolidated non-financial performance declaration required by Article L.225-102-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) is included in the Group management report, being specified that, in accordance with the provisions of Article L.823-10 of the Code, we have not verified the fair presentation and the consistency with the consolidated financial statements of the information contained therein and should be reported on by an independent insurance services provider.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Appointment of the Statutory Auditors

We were appointed as statutory auditors of Dassault Aviation Company by the General Meeting held on April 25, 2002 for cabinet Deloitte & Associés and held on June 19, 1990 for cabinet Mazars.

As at December 31, 2018, audit firm Deloitte & Associés and audit firm Mazars were in the 17[th] year and 29[th] year of total uninterrupted engagement respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless it is expected to liquidate the Company or to cease operations.

The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process and the effectiveness of internal control and risks management systems and where applicable, its internal audit, regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures.

The consolidated financial statements were closed by the Board of Directors.

DASSAULT AVIATION GROUP

Statutory Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Objectives and audit approach

Our role is to issue a report on the consolidated financial statements. Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As specified in Article L. 823-10-1 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce), our statutory audit does not include assurance on the viability of the Company or the quality of management of the affairs of the Company.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France, the statutory auditor exercises professional judgment throughout the audit and furthermore:

Identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains audit evidence considered to be sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for his opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Obtains an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

Evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management in the consolidated financial statements.

Assesses the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of his audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. If the statutory auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists, there is a requirement to draw attention in the audit report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are not provided or inadequate, to modify the opinion expressed therein.

Evaluates the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and assesses whether these statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Obtains sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The statutory auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of the

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 177

Consolidated Financial Statements

consolidated financial statements and for the opinion expressed on these consolidated financial statements.

Report to the Audit Committee

We submit a report to the Audit Committee which includes, in particular, a description of the scope of the audit and the audit program implemented, as well as the results of our audit. We also report, if any, significant deficiencies in internal control regarding the accounting and financial reporting procedures that we have identified.

Our report to the Audit Committee includes the risks of material misstatement that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and which are therefore the key audit matters, that we are required to describe in this report.

We also provide the Audit Committee with the declaration provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EU) N°537/2014, confirming our independence within the meaning of the rules applicable in France such as they are set in particular by Articles L.822-10 to L.822-14 of the French Commercial Code (Code de commerce) and in the French Code of Ethics (Code de déontologie) for statutory auditors. When appropriate, we discuss with the Audit Committee the risks that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and the related safeguards.

DASSAULT AVIATION ASSAULT AVIATION AVIATION VIATION – PARENT CARENT CCOMPANY

A/ GENERAL PRINCIPLES

The financial statements of the Parent Company as of December 31, 2018 were closed by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2019, and will be submitted for approval to the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2019.

The company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ANC Regulation 2017-03 approved by the Decree of November 3, 2017, and subsequent notices and recommendations of the French Accounting Standards Authority (ANC).

The methods used to present the financial statements are comparable year-on-year.

The general accounting conventions have been applied, in compliance with the principle of prudence, and in line with the following basic assumptions:

  • going concern of operations,

  • permanence of the accounting methods from one year to the next,

  • independence of fiscal years,

and in line with the general rules for the establishment and presentation of annual financial statements.

The individual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

The preparation of the company’s financial statements leads management to make estimations and assumptions that could have an impact on the amounts reported in the balance sheet and in the income statement.

These estimations concern notably:

  • the results of contracts in progress,

  • the calculation of the amount of provisions for contingencies and charges and provisions for impairment.

These estimations are calculated by taking into account past experience, elements known at the closing date and any reasonable change assumptions.

Results realized subsequently may therefore differ from such estimations.

B/ VALUATION PRINCIPLES

B1 Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are recognized at acquisition or production cost, less accumulated depreciation or amortization and impairment. Interest expense is not capitalized. Each identified component of an intangible asset or item of property, plant and equipment is recognized and depreciated or amortized separately.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 185

Company Financial Statements

Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method. No residual value is taken into account, except for aircraft.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are depreciated and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives are reviewed at each year-end for material non-current assets. Initial useful lives are extended or reduced depending on the conditions in which the assets is used.

Initial useful lives are determined as follows:

Software 3-4 years Industrial buildings 20-25 years Office buildings 20-25 years Fixtures and fittings 7-15 years Plant, equipment and tools 3-10 years Aircraft 10-15 years Rolling stock 4 years Other property, plant and equipment 3-10 years Used goods on a case-by-case basis

B2 Impairment of assets

The Company conducts an impairment test if an indication of loss of value has been detected. Indications of impairment come from significant long-term adverse changes that affect the economic environment or the assumptions or objectives used by the Company.

Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are impaired by the Company when the net carrying amount exceeds their current value. The amount of impairment recognized in income is equal to the difference between the net carrying amount and current value. The current value of an asset is the higher of its market value (less selling costs) and its value in use.

The value in use of an asset is calculated using the discounted future cash flow method, with a post-tax discount rate of 7.2% (compared to 7.5% as of December 31, 2017) and a 2% long-term growth rate (same as of December 31, 2017). The discount rate used includes the rates prevailing in the aviation industry and was calculated using the same method as in 2017. Post-tax cash flows are projected over a period not exceeding 5 years and the method takes into account a terminal value. These future cash flows result from the economic assumptions and projected operating conditions adopted by the Management.

Concerning the equity investment in Thales, when an impairment test is carried out, the operational and financial assumptions used come directly from data provided by Thales.

- B3 Equity investments, other non current and marketable securities

Gross values are represented by the purchase cost excluding incidental charges, except in the case of those subject to the 1976 legal revaluation. A provision for depreciation is recorded when the book value is lower than the gross value. The book value is the higher of its market value and its value in use.

Dassault Aviation evaluates the inventory value for listed investment securities based on the quotation for the reporting month and for unlisted securities, in the absence of any external valuation elements, according to the share in net assets.

- - B4 Inventories and work in progress

Incoming raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods inventories are measured at acquisition cost for items purchased and production cost for items produced. Outgoing inventories are valued at the weighted average cost, except for used aircraft which are stated at acquisition cost. Work-in-progress is measured at production cost and does not include interest expense.

186 2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION

DASSAULT AVIATION – PARENT COMPANY

Inventories and work-in-progress are impaired when their net realizable value is less than their carrying amount.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs for completion and making the sale. It takes into account the technical or commercial obsolescence of articles and the risks associated with their low turnover.

B5 Receivables

Receivables are stated at nominal value. A provision for impairment is recorded when the recoverable value is lower than the carrying amount.

B6 Borrowings

Borrowings are recorded at the amount received. Transaction costs are posted to expenses for the year.

B7 Regulated tax provisions

Regulated tax provisions appearing on the balance sheet include provisions for price increases and depreciation by derogation.

B8 Provisions for contingencies and charges

B8-1 Warranty provisions

Within the framework of sales or procurement contracts, Dassault Aviation has formal warranty obligations for the equipment, products and/or services (software development, systems integration, etc.) delivered.

These obligations can be distinguished between:

    • current” warranty: repair of defective equipment during the contractual warranty period or by implicit obligations, handling hardware or software malfunctions identified by the user following qualification and handover to users, etc.
    • regulatory” warranty: treatment by the manufacturer of any changes to the regulatory framework determined by the regulatory authorities or any regulatory non-compliance identified by the manufacturer or a user after delivery of materials or products.

Determining the amount of the warranty provisions is mainly done as follows:

  • for the current equipment warranty: based on experience with recorded costs, depending on the

  • warranty items covered contractually and the aircraft models in question;

  • for handling of malfunctions or regulatory changes and nonconformities: based on estimates

  • established by specialists from the business lines affected by the corrective actions to be implemented; these corrections have been identified in “technical files.”

B8-2 Retirement payments and related benefits

Commitments to employees for retirement payments and related benefits are provisioned in full for the obligations remaining. The commitments are estimated for all employees on the basis of vested rights and a projection of current salaries, after taking into account the mortality risk, employee turnover, and a discounting assumption. The rates have been determined based on the yield for top-ranking corporate long-term bonds, with maturity equivalent to the duration of the calculated liabilities.

2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION 187

Company Financial Statements

Actuarial gains or losses, or those gains or losses that are analyzed as such, are fully recognized in operating income in the period during which they are incurred.

The provision that appears in the balance sheet is the amount of the total commitment net of outsourced amounts.

B9 Hedging instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to risks from fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and, more marginally, from fluctuations in commodity prices.

Exchange rates risks mainly arise from US dollar-denominated sales. The corresponding future cash flows are partially hedged using forward exchange contracts and currency options.

Interest rate risks result from variable rate borrowings contracted by the Group. Interest rate risks are hedged using interest rate swaps.

The effects of the hedge, including the carrying forward / backwardation, are recorded at the rhythm of the hedged item and follow the same classification as the hedged item, i.e. the operating profit.

Premiums paid or received on the purchase or potential sale of options are recognized as income only at the expiration of these options, with the exception of the premiums relating to “zero premium” hedging strategies, which are immediately recognized as income to avoid temporary timing differences.

Hedging instruments are off-balance sheet commitments with the exception of those that hedge balance sheet positions that are accounted for in cash instruments.

B10 Foreign currency transactions

Expenses and income in foreign currencies are recognized at their equivalent value in euros on the date of the payment or settlement transaction, with the exception of the net flows associated with global foreign exchange hedging, which are recorded at the hedge rate for the year.

Currency receivables and payables outstanding at year-end are revalued into euros at the closing rate of exchange.

When the application of the translation rate on the closing date has the effect of modifying the amounts in euros previously recognized, the currency translation differences are booked to suspense accounts:

  • unrealized translation losses to assets,

  • unrealized translation gains to liabilities.

An overall foreign exchange position is calculated by maturity of unhedged receivables and debts. When an overall foreign exchange position by maturity is a latent loss, a provision is set up for that risk.

Translation gains and losses arising on cash at bank and in hand as of December 31 are recognized on the income statement.

B11 Net sales and key figures

The results on completion are based on estimations of net sales and costs at completion (taking into account the Program Departments’ forecasts) which are revised as the contract progresses and take into account the latest known events at the closing date. The potential losses on completion are recognized as soon as they are known.

188 2018 annual financial report | DASSAULT AVIATION

DASSAULT AVIATION – PARENT COMPANY

Sales of goods and development contracts:

Net sales and net income are recognized when Dassault Aviation has transferred the main risks and benefits of ownership to the buyer, and it is probable that the future economic benefits will benefit the company.

As a general rule, net sales are recognized upon delivery of goods or development services. The corresponding costs are valued on the basis of net income at completion estimated in the contract. If the estimated costs are lower than the actual costs, the difference is classified as work-in-progress. If the estimated costs are higher than the actual costs, a provision for services and work still to be performed is recognized at closing.

Other service contracts:

Income from sales of services is recognized under the percentage of completion method according to the millestones set forth in contracts. Income or loss is recognized at each stage of completion if it can be reliably measured.

Contracts involving co-contractors for which Dassault Aviation is the only signatory are recognized for the entire amount of net sales and related expenses (including the co-contractors’ share).

B12 Unrealized capital gains on marketable securities

Unrealized capital gains on marketable securities are not recognized in the income statement until effectively realized. The tax charge relating to unrealized gains is recorded under prepayments until the gain is recognized in financial income.

This method, which constitutes a departure from the general principle of full recognition of deferred taxes, has been adopted to provide a fairer presentation of the results of the Company.

B13 Treasury shares

The book value of treasury shares at year-end is determined by the average market price in the month before closing. If the market price is lower than the purchase value, an impairment is recorded, with the exception of securities being canceled or shares held for allotment under a defined plan.

C/ TAX CONSOLIDATION

The Company opted for the tax consolidation scheme in 1999, pursuant to Articles 223-A and following of the French General Tax Code. As of January 1, 2012, the tax consolidation scope of the Group includes Dassault Aviation, Dassault Aéro Service and Dassault Aviation Participations.

This tax consolidation arrangement is tacitly renewable per period of five fiscal years.

By agreement, it does not have an impact on the results of consolidated companies: tax liabilities are borne by the tax group companies as if no tax consolidation existed.

On December 31, 2017, the Company has assessed a first impact of the end of the Falcon 5X program on its assets and liabilities. Following the cancellation in 2018 of the last Falcon 5X customers’ orders, the Company carried out a new evaluation of these impacts. As a consequence, the Company has notably reduced the net value of inventories and work-inprogress relating to the F5X program to zero.

Note 5 - Interest on assets

No interest is included in the value of inventories and work-in-progress.

(1) provisions for retirement payments and related benefits:

Retirement payment commitments are calculated for all employees using the projected unit credit method. They are provisioned in full for the remaining obligations.

Employment projections are weighted using French insurance code mortality rates and the recorded employee turnover rate (this may vary according to age). The obligations is estimated and prorated to the employee’s length of service at the end of the period in relation to his total career expectancy (see Accounting principles B8-2).

The calculation takes into account the following annual assumptions: salary increase of 3.93% and discount rate of 1.6%.

The Company decided to outsource a portion of its commitments by purchasing an insurance policy for EUR 300,000 thousand, of which EUR 50,000 thousand in 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, the balance of the provision for long-service awards was EUR 3,248 thousand.

(2) provision for early retirement:

The provision corresponds to the expenditures expected for the funding of the period of inactivity of the relevant employees until the age of retirement.

(3) provisions for warranties, services and work to be performed:

Provisions are updated to reflect changes to the fleet in service and contracts delivered. For 2018, this change is mainly related to the military contracts delivered.

- Note 27 Financial instruments: dollar foreign exchange transaction portfolio

Dassault Aviation is exposed to a foreign exchange risk on its Falcon sales that are almost all denominated in US dollars. This risk is partially hedged by using forward currency contracts and foreign exchange options.

The financial instruments held by Dassault Aviation are valued below at market value.

Market value represents the amounts received or paid in the event of total liquidation of the portfolio; the equivalent in euros is calculated on the basis of the price of the dollar at year-end. This is not representative of the actual gain/loss which will be recognized when the transactions are made.

The portfolio market value is therefore provided for information only. All derivatives subscribed by the Company are for hedging purposes. The subscribed options are derivatives with an optimization component without additional risk taking.

Justification of Assessments - Key Audit Matters

In accordance with the requirements of Articles L. 823-9 and R. 823-7 of the French Commercial Code relating to the justification of our assessments, we inform you of the key audit matters relating to risks of material misstatement which, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period, as well as how we addressed those risks.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on specific items of the financial statements.

Risk identified

Our response

Valuation of warranty provisions

(Note B8-1 and item 14.2 of the notes to the annual financial statements)

Dassault Aviation provides warranties for its aircraft deliveries against hardware or software defects and is required to remedy any regulatory non-compliance identified after the delivery of the necessary equipment. These warranties therefore constitute a commitment for the Company. The costs of this commitment must be provisioned upon delivery of the airplane.

The estimated amount of the provisions is based on the data and expenses recorded by airplane model and type of transactions taken as collateral and on estimated costs, in particular cost estimates for specialists, handling of malfunctions and regulatory non-compliance. Given the fleet in service and the variety of costs potentially incurred, warranty provisions are determined by complex models that involve the judgment of several Operational Departments.

Management’s valuation of these commitments caused Dassault Aviation to recognize warranty provisions of €871.3 million as at December 31, 2018.

On the basis of discussions with the relevant Operational Departments, we took note of the procedures to identify the risks to be guaranteed and the procedures put in place to determine the costs and other data used as a basis for the valuation of provisions for guarantees. We also tested the functioning of key internal controls that we considered relevant to our audit.

In addition, our work consisted in: In addition, our work consisted in:

The valuation of these provisions is a key point of the audit due to:

the level of judgment required for their determination, the complex nature of their valuation, their amount, and, consequently, the potentially significant impact on earnings and equity if their estimates vary.
