As the exchange values for asset swap operations described in Note 3 "Changes in the consolidation scope" did not give rise to a change in cash, they were not recorded in the statement of cash flows.
In 2013, JCDecaux continued its strategy of organic and external growth.
In November 2013, the Group signed a contract for the acquisition of 85% of Eumex, a Group specialised in street furniture for the Latin American continent. Eumex operates in nine Latin American countries and generated in 2013 approximately €45 million in advertising revenue. Eumex is the street furniture market leader in Central America, Colombia and Chile. The closing of this transaction is subject to the usual regulatory requirements.
The primary partnerships and acquisitions are detailed in Note 3.1 "Major changes in the consolidation scope in 2013".
The JCDecaux SA consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 include JCDecaux SA and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the "Group") and the Group's share in associates or companies under joint control.
Pursuant to European Regulation No. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002, the 2013 consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the European Union. They were approved by the Executive Board and were authorised for release by the Supervisory Board on 5 March 2014. These financial statements shall only be definitive upon the approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders.
The principles used in the preparation of these financial statements are based on:
These various options and positions break down as follows:
The Group has implemented the following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable from 1 January 2013:
Impacts due to the application of the Revised IAS 19 are presented under the Note 2. "Change in the accounting methods and presentation". The application of other amendments and standards did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In the absence of specific IFRS provisions on the accounting treatment of debts on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests, the accounting principles used in the 2012 consolidated financial statements were maintained and are explained under the Note 1.20 "Commitments to purchase non-controlling interests". In particular, subsequent changes in the fair value of the debt arising from such commitments are recognised in net financial income and allocated to non-controlling interests in the income statement, with no impact on the net income (Group share).
In addition, the Group has not opted for the early adoption of the following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, endorsed or not by the European Union, which are not yet in force for the year ended 31 December 2013:
The analysis of the impacts of these standards is being carried out, and at this stage, except for IFRS 11, Management believes that the application of these standards will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Future application of IFRS 11, under which companies under joint control are accounted for using the equity method, will have no impact in 2013 on the net income. However, it would have as effect on the operating data of the 2013 IFRS consolidated income statement, a 13% decrease in the revenue, a 17% decrease in the operating margin, a 35% decrease in the EBIT and a 24% decrease in the EBIT before impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment (PP&E) and intangible assets. In order to reflect the business reality of the Group's entities, operating data of the companies under the Group's joint control will continue to be proportionately integrated in the operating management reporting used by the Executive Board - the Chief Operating Decision - Maker (CODM), to monitor the activity, allocate resources and measure performances. Consequently, pursuant to IFRS 8, Segment Reporting presented in the financial statements shall comply with the Group's internal information, and the Group's external financial communication will rely on this operating financial information, which will always be reconciled with the IFRS financial statements.
With a 1 January 2004 transition date, the financial statements from 31 December 2005 were the first to be prepared by the Group in compliance with IFRS. IFRS 1 provided for exceptions to the retrospective application of IFRS on the transition date. The Group adopted the following options:
The financial statements of companies controlled by the Group are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control is acquired to the date control ceases. Control exists when the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Companies that are jointly controlled by the Group are consolidated using the proportionate method.
Companies over which the Group exercises a significant influence on the operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method.
All transactions between Group fully consolidated companies are eliminated upon consolidation. Transactions with companies consolidated under the proportionate method are eliminated up to the percentage of consolidation.
Inter-company results are also eliminated. Capital gains or losses on inter-company sales realised by an associate are eliminated up to the percentage of ownership and offset by the value of the assets sold.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rate prevailing on the transaction date. At the period-end, monetary items are translated at the closing exchange rate and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in the income statement.
Long-term monetary assets held by a Group entity in a foreign subsidiary for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are a part of the entity's net investment in that foreign operation. Accordingly, pursuant to IAS 21 "The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates", exchange differences on these items are recorded in other comprehensive income until the investment's disposal. In the opposite case, exchange differences are recorded in the income statement.
The Group consolidated financial statements are prepared using the Euro, which is the parent company's presentation and functional currency.
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into the Group's presentation currency at the year-end exchange rate, and the corresponding income statement is translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Resulting translation adjustments are directly allocated to other comprehensive income.
At the time of a total or partial disposal, with loss of control, or the liquidation of a foreign entity, or a step acquisition, translation adjustments accumulated in equity are reclassified in the income statement.
As part of the process to prepare the consolidated financial statements, the assessment of some assets and liabilities requires the use of judgments, assumptions and estimates. This primarily involves the valuation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the valuation of investments in associates, determining the amount of provisions for employee benefits and dismantling, and the valuation of commitments on securities. These judgments, assumptions and estimates are based on information available or situations existing at the financial statement preparation date, which could differ from future reality. Valuation methods are more specifically described, mainly in Note 1.11 "Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and goodwill" and in Note 1.22 "Dismantling provision". The results of sensitivity tests are provided in Note 5.3 "Goodwill, Property, plant and equipment (PP&E), and Intangible assets impairment tests" for the valuation of goodwill, property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets, in Note 5.17 "Financial assets and liabilities by category" for the valuation of the debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests, in Note 6.5 "Share of net profit of associates" for the valuation of investments in associates and in Note 5.12 "Provisions" for the valuation of dismantling provisions and provisions for employee benefits.
With the exception of deferred tax assets and liabilities which are classified as non-current, assets and liabilities are classified as current when their recoverability or payment is expected no later than 12 months after the year-end closing date; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.
According to IAS 38, development costs must be capitalised as intangible assets if the Group can demonstrate:
the existence of probable future economic benefits for the Group,
the high probability of success for the Group,
Development costs capitalised in the statement of financial position from 1 January 2004 onwards primarily include all costs related to the development, modification or improvement to street furniture ranges in connection with contract proposals having a strong probability of success. Development costs also include the design and construction of models and prototypes.
The Group considers that it is legitimate to capitalise tender response preparation costs. Given the nature of the costs incurred (design and construction of models and prototypes), and the statistical success rate of the group JCDecaux in its responses to street furniture bids, the Group believes that these costs represent development activities that can be capitalised under the aforementioned criteria. Indeed, these costs are directly related to a given contract, and are incurred to obtain it. Amortisation, spread out over the term of the contract, begins when the project is awarded. Should the bid be lost, the amount capitalised would be expensed.
Development costs carried in assets are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Other intangible assets primarily involve Street Furniture, Billboard and Transport contracts recognised in business combinations, which are amortised over the contract term. They also include upfront payments, amortised over the contract term, and software. Only individualised and clearly identified software (ERP in particular) is capitalised and amortised over a maximum period of five years. Other software is recognised in expenses for the period.
IFRS 3 revised requires the application of the acquisition method to business combinations, which consists of measuring at fair value all identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired entity.
Goodwill represents the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred (including the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the company acquired), plus the amount recognised for any non-controlling interest in the acquired company, minus the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is not amortised. The Group conducts impairment tests at least once a year at each statement of financial position date and at any time when there are indicators of impairment. Following these impairment tests, performed in accordance with the methodology detailed in Note 1.11 "Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and goodwill", a goodwill impairment loss is recognised if necessary. When recognised, such a loss cannot be reversed at a later period.
Negative goodwill, if any, is immediately recognised directly in the income statement.
When determining the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, the Group assesses contracts at fair value and recognises them as intangible assets. When an onerous contract is identified, a liability is recognised.
Under IFRS, companies are granted a 12-month period, starting from the date of acquisition, to finalise the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities acquired.
Acquisition-related costs are recognised by the Group in other operating expenses, except for acquisition-related costs for noncontrolling interests, which are recorded in equity.
For step acquisitions, any gain or loss arising from the fair value re-measurement of the previously held equity interest is recorded in the income statement, under other operating income and expenses, at the time control is acquired. The fair value of this remeasurement is estimated on the basis of the purchase price less the control premium.
For every partial or complete disposal with loss of control, any gain or loss on the disposal as well as the re-measurement of retained interest are recorded in the income statement, under other operating income and expenses.
Furthermore, in application of IAS 27, for acquisitions of non-controlling interests in controlled companies and sales of shares interests without loss of control, the difference between the acquisition price or sale price and the carrying value of non-controlling interests is recognised in changes in equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company. The corresponding cash inflows and outflows are presented under the line item Net cash used in financing activities of the statement of cash flows.
Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) are presented on the statement of financial position at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Street furniture (Bus shelters, MUPIs®, Seniors, Electronic Information Boards (EIB), Automatic Public Toilets, Morris Columns, etc.) is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts between 8 and 20 years. The digital screens are depreciated over a 5 to 10 year period; their economic lifetime is generally shorter than the average term of the contracts.
Street furniture maintenance costs are recognised as expenses.
The discounted dismantling costs expected to be paid at the end of the contract are recorded in assets, with the corresponding provision, and amortised over the term of the contracts.
Billboards are depreciated according to the method of depreciation prevailing in the relevant countries in accordance with local regulations and economic conditions.
The main method of depreciation is the straight-line method over a period of 2 to 10 years.
Depreciation charges are calculated over the following normal useful lives:
Property, plant and equipment:
Buildings and constructions |
10 to 50 years, |
|---|---|
Technical installations, tools and equipment |
5 to 10 years, |
| (Excluding street furniture and billboards) | |
Street furniture and billboards |
2 to 20 years. |
| Other property, plant and equipment: | |
Fixtures and fittings |
5 to 10 years, |
Transport equipment |
3 to 10 years, |
Computer equipment |
3 to 5 years, |
Furniture |
5 to 10 years. |
Items of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets as well as goodwill are tested for impairment at least once a year.
Impairment testing consists in comparing the carrying value of a Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) or a CGU group with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the highest of (i) the fair value of the asset (or group of assets) less costs to disposal and (ii) the value in use determined based on future discounted cash flows.
When the recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the value in use, cash flow forecasts are determined using growth assumptions based either on the term of the contracts, or over a five-year period with a subsequent perpetual projection and a discount rate reflecting current market estimates of the time value of money. Growth assumptions used do not take into account any external acquisitions. Risks specific to the CGU tested are largely reflected in the assumptions adopted for determining the cash flows and the discount rate used.
When the carrying value of an asset or group of assets exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement to write down the asset's carrying value to the recoverable amount.
geographical area meet, which is the level where commercial synergies are generated, and even beyond this level if justified by the synergy.
Discount rates used
The values in use taken into account for impairment testing are determined based on expected future cash flows, discounted at a rate based on the weighted average cost of capital. This rate reflects management's best estimates regarding the time value of money, the risks specific to the assets or CGUs and the economic situation in the geographical areas where the business relating to these assets or CGUs is carried out.
The countries are broken down into five areas based on the risk associated with each country, and each area corresponds to a specific discount rate.
They are determined based on budgeted values for the first year following the closing of the accounts and growth and change assumptions specific to each market and which reflect the expected future outlook. The recoverable value is based on business plans for which the procedures for determining future cash flows differ for the various business segments, with a time horizon usually exceeding five years owing to the nature and business activity of the Group, which is characterised by long-term contracts with a strong probability of renewal. In general:
The recoverable amount of a group of CGUs corresponds to the sum of the individual recoverable amounts of each CGU belonging to that group.
Goodwill recognised on acquisition is included in the value of the investments.
The share of amortisation of the assets recognised at the time of acquisition or the fair value adjustment of existing assets is presented under the heading "Share of net profit of associates."
Investments in associates are subject to impairment tests on an annual basis, or when existing conditions suggest a possible impairment. When necessary, the related loss, which is recorded in "Share of net profit of associates," is calculated on the asset recoverable value which is defined as the higher of (i) the fair value of the asset less costs of disposal and (ii) its utility value based on the expected future cash flows less net debt. The method used to calculate the values in use is the same one applied for PP&E and intangible assets as described in Note 1.11 "Impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and goodwill".
This heading includes investments in non-consolidated entities.
These assets are initially recognised at their fair value, related to their acquisition price. In the absence of a listed price on an active market, they are then measured at the fair value, that is close to the value in use or the utility value, which takes into account the share of equity and the probable recovery amount.
Changes in values are recognised in other comprehensive income. When the asset is sold, cumulative gains and losses in equity are reclassified in the income statement. When the impairment decrease is permanent, total cumulative gains are cleared entirely or in the amount of the decrease. The net loss is recorded in the income statement if the total loss exceeds the total cumulative gains.
This heading includes loans to participating interests, current account advances granted to partners of joint ventures and of controlled entities, associates or non-consolidated entities, the non-eliminated portion of loans to proportionately consolidated companies, as well as deposits and guarantees.
On initial recognition, they are measured at fair value (IAS 39, Loans and receivables category).
After initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost.
A loss in value is recognised in the income statement when the recovery amount of these loans and receivables is less than their carrying amount.
Inventories mainly consist of:
Inventories are valued at weighted average cost, and may include production, assembly and logistic costs.
Inventories are written down to their net realisable value when the net realisable value is lower than cost.
Trade receivables are recorded at fair value, which corresponds to their nominal invoice value, unless there is any significant discounting effect. After initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost. An impairment loss is recognised when their recovery amount is less than their carrying amount.
The managed cash includes cash, cash equivalents and financial assets for treasury management purposes.
Cash recognised as assets in the statement of financial position includes cash at bank and in hand. Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments and short-term deposits.
Short-term investments are easily convertible into a known cash amount and are subject to little risk of change in value, in accordance with IAS 7. They are measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in net financial income.
Financial assets for treasury management purposes are investments which have the main characteristics of cash equivalents but do not strictly comply with all the criteria to be qualified as such, according to IAS 7. These assets are included in the calculation of net debt of the Group.
For the consolidated statement of cash flows, net cash consists of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
Financial debt is initially recorded at the fair value corresponding to the amount received less related issuance costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
A financial derivative is a financial instrument having the following three characteristics:
Derivatives are recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value in assets or liabilities. Changes in subsequent values are offset in the income statement, unless they have been qualified as part of an effective cash flow hedge or as a foreign net investment.
Hedge accounting may be adopted if a hedging relationship between the hedged item (the underlying) and the derivative is established and documented from the time the hedge is set up, and its effectiveness is demonstrated from inception and at each period-end. The Group currently limits itself to two types of hedges for financial assets and liabilities:
The hedging relationship involves a single market parameter, which currently for the Group is either a foreign exchange rate or an interest rate. When a derivative is used to hedge both a foreign exchange and interest rate risk, the foreign exchange and interest rate impacts are treated separately.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or no longer qualified for hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss on a cash flow hedge as part of the hedging of a highly probable forecasted transaction recognised in other comprehensive income is maintained in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is transferred to net financial income for the year.
For derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recorded directly in net financial income for the year.
The accounting classification of derivatives in current or non-current items is determined by the related underlying item's accounting classification.
In the absence of specific IFRS provisions on the accounting treatment of commitments to purchase non-controlling interests, the accounting positions taken in the 2012 consolidated financial statements have been maintained for all Group commitments.
The application of IAS 32 results in the recognition of a liability relating to commitments to purchase shares held by noncontrolling interests in the Group's subsidiaries, not only for the portion already recognised in non-controlling interests (reclassified in liabilities), but also for the excess resulting from the present value of the commitment. The counterparty of this excess portion is deducted from non-controlling interests in the liabilities of the statement of financial position. Pending the adoption of the IFRS IC interpretation related to the commitments to purchase non-controlling interests, subsequent changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised in net financial income and allocated to non-controlling interests in the income statement, with no impact on consolidated net income (Group share).
Commitments recorded in this respect are presented under the statement of financial position heading "Debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests".
The Group's obligations resulting from defined benefit plans, as well as their cost, are determined using the projected unit credit method.
This method consists in measuring the obligation based on the projected end-of-career salary and the rights vested at the valuation date, determined in accordance with collective trade union agreements, branch agreements or the legal rights in effect.
The actuarial assumptions used to determine the obligations vary according to the economic conditions prevailing in the country of origin and the demographic assumptions specific to each company.
These plans are either funded, their assets being managed by an entity legally separate and independent from the Group, or partially funded or not funded, the Group's obligations being covered by a provision in the statement of financial position. The income from the plan's assets is estimated based on the discount rate used for the benefit obligation.
For the post-employement benefit plans, the actuarial gains and losses are immediately and entirely recognised in other comprehensive income with no possibility of recycling in the income statement. Past service costs are immediately and fully recorded in the income statement on acquired rights as well as on future entitlements.
For other long-term benefits, actuarial gains or losses and past service costs are recognised as income or expenses when they occur.
The effects of discounting of the provision for employee benefits are presented in the net financial income (loss).
Costs for dismantling street furniture at the end of a contract are recorded in provisions, where a contractual dismantling obligation exists. These provisions represent the entire estimated dismantling cost from the contract's inception and are discounted. Dismantling costs are offset under assets in the statement of financial position and amortised over the term of the contract. The discounting charge is recorded as a financial expense.
In accordance with IFRS 2 "Share-based payment", stock options granted to employees are considered to be part of compensation in exchange for services rendered over the period extending from the grant date to the vesting date.
The fair value of services rendered is determined by reference to the fair value of the financial instruments granted.
The fair value of options is determined at their grant date by an independent actuary, and any subsequent changes in the fair value are not taken into account. The Black & Scholes valuation model used is based on the assumptions described in Note 6.1 "Net operating expenses" hereafter.
The cost of services rendered is recognised in the income statement and offset under an equity heading on a basis that reflects the vesting pattern of the options. This entry is recorded at the end of each accounting period until the date at which all vesting rights of the considered plan have been fully granted.
The amount stated in equity reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of options granted that, based on management's best available estimate, will ultimately vest.
Stock option plans are granted based on individual objectives and Group results. The exercise of stock options is subject to years of continuous presence in the company.
The fair value of bonus shares is determined at their grant date by an independent actuary. The fair value of the bonus share is determined according to the price on the grant date less discounted future dividends.
All bonus shares are granted after a defined number of years of continuous presence in the Group, based on the plans.
The cost of services rendered is recognised in the income statement via an offsetting entry in an equity heading, following a pattern that reflects the procedures for granting bonus shares. The acquisition period begins from the time the Executive Board grants the bonus shares.
The share subscription and purchase plans, which will be settled in cash, are assessed at their fair value, recorded in the income statement, by offsetting with a liability. This liability is measured at each closing date up to its settlement.
The Group's revenue mainly comes from sales of advertising spaces on street furniture equipment, billboards and advertising in transport systems.
Advertising space revenue, rentals and provided services are recorded as revenue on a straight-line basis over the period over which the service is performed. The triggering event for the sale of advertising space is the launch of the advertising campaign, which has a duration ranging from 1 week to 6 years.
Revenue resulting from the sale of advertising spaces is recorded on a net basis after deduction of commercial rebates. In some countries, commissions are paid by the Group to advertising agencies and media brokers when they act as intermediaries between the Group and advertisers. These commissions are then deducted from revenue.
In agreements where the Group pays variable fees or revenue sharing, and insofar as the Group bears the risks and rewards incidental to the activity, the Group recognises all gross advertising revenue as revenue and books fees and the portion of revenue repaid as operating expenses.
Discounts granted to customers for early payments are deducted from revenue.
The operating margin is defined as revenue less direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses.
It includes charges to provisions net of reversals relating to trade receivables.
The operating margin is impacted by cash discounts granted to customers deducted from revenue, and cash discounts received from suppliers deducted from direct operating expenses. It also includes stock option or bonus share expenses recognised in the line item "Selling, general and administrative expenses".
EBIT is determined based on the operating margin less consumption of spare parts used for maintenance, depreciation, amortisation and provisions (net), goodwill impairment losses, and other operating income and expenses. Inventory impairment losses are recognised in the line item "Maintenance spare parts".
Other operating income and expenses include the gains and losses generated by the disposal of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets, the gains and losses generated by the loss of control of shares of companies fully or proportionately consolidated, any resulting gain or loss resulting from the fair value re-measurement of a retained interest, any resulting gain or loss resulting from the fair value re-measurement of a previously held equity interest in a business combination with acquisition of control, potential price adjustments resulting from events subsequent to the acquisition date, as well as any negative goodwill, acquisitionrelated costs, and non-recurring items.
Net charges related to the results of impairment tests performed on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are included in the line item "Depreciation, amortisation and provisions (net)".
Deferred taxes are recognised based on timing differences between the accounting value and the tax base of assets and liabilities. They mainly stem from consolidation restatements (standardisation of Group accounting principles and amortisation/depreciation periods for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, finance leases, recognition of contracts as part of the purchase method, etc.). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply for the period in which the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax regulations that were adopted at the year-end closing date.
Deferred tax assets on tax losses carried forward are recognised when it is probable that the Group will have future taxable profits against which these tax losses may be offset. Forecasts are prepared using a 3-year time frame adapted to the specific characteristics of each country.
The 2010 Finance Act abolished the business license tax for French tax entities in favour of two new contributions: a local property tax based on property rental values (known as the Cotisation Foncière des Entreprises (CFE)), and a local tax based on corporate added value (known as the Cotisation sur la Valeur Ajoutée des Entreprises (CVAE).
Following this taxation change, and in accordance with IFRS, the Group determined that the CVAE was an income tax expense. This qualification as an income tax gives rise to the recognition of a deferred tax liability calculated based on the depreciable assets of the companies subject to the CVAE. Moreover, as the CVAE can be deducted from the corporate tax, its recognition generates a deferred tax asset.
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group almost all of the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the leased item, are capitalised as assets in the statement of financial position upon inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between finance charges and a reduction of the lease liability so as to obtain a constant interest rate on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are recognised directly in the income statement.
Capitalised leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and rewards incident to ownership of the asset are considered as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement.
Earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares adjusted for treasury shares. The calculation of diluted earnings per share takes into account the dilutive effect of the issuance and buyback of shares and the exercise of stock options.
The application of Revised IAS 19 "Employee benefits" effective from 1 January 2013 leads the Group to publish restated consolidated financial statements retrospectively from 1 January 2012. The main changes are the following:
The Group has chosen to change the presentation of the income statement. Indeed, the effect of the discounting of the provision for employee benefits which was previously registered in EBIT is from now on recorded in the net financial income (loss).
The changes detailed above have a €1.6 million impact on the consolidated net income for the year ended 31 December 2012. The impact breaks down as follows:

The main changes that took place in the consolidation scope during 2013 are as follows:
On 12 February 2013, JCDecaux Central Eastern Europe GmbH (Austria) took the joint control of the group Russ Out Of Home BV (Parent company of "Russ Outdoor"), the Russian market leader, through the acquisition of 25% of this company. Previously to this acquisition, JCDecaux Central Eastern Europe GmbH acquired 45% of additional financial interest of the group BigBoard (Russia), then brought 100% of these Russian shares to Russ Outdoor. The company Russ Outdoor is proportionately consolidated at 25%.
As part of this transaction, JCDecaux Central Eastern Europe GmbH also sold 5% of its financial rights in the group BigBoard (Ukraine). From now on, the Ukrainian subsidiaries are proportionately consolidated at 50% with no changes in the joint control.
On 4 April 2013, the company Gewista Werbegesellschaft.mbH acquired 24.9% of the company Ankünder GmbH (Austria) in counterpart of the contribution of the following Austrian assets to Ankünder GmbH:
The company Ankünder GmbH is consolidated under the equity method at 24.9%.
On 10 April 2013, JCDecaux Street furniture Belgium (previously JCDecaux Belgium Publicité SA) purchased 100% of the company Insert Belgium SA (Belgique). This company is fully consolidated.
On 24 April 2013, JCDecaux Ireland Ltd acquired 100% of the company Bravo Outdoor Advertising Limited (Ireland). This company is fully consolidated.
On 14 June 2013, JCDecaux France Holding purchased 16.67% of the company CitéGreen (France) which runs a rewards programme for ecological actions. This company is consolidated under the equity method.
JCDecaux Out of Home Advertising Pte Ltd (Singapore) sold 10% on 17 June 2013 and 10% on 30 September 2013 of share capital of JCDecaux Korea Inc. which is still fully consolidated at 80%.
The main acquisitions giving control and joint-control realised in 2013, related to Russ Outdoor (Russia), Insert Belgium SA (Belgique) and Bravo Outdoor Advertising Limited (Ireland), had the following impacts on the Group consolidated financial statements:
| Fair value at the date of | |
|---|---|

| =(c)-(a)+(b) | 87.3 |
| (59.5) | |
| 18.0 | |
| (41.5) | |
(1) The option for the full goodwill method has not been taken.
(2) Mainly due to Russ Outdoor.
(3) Amounts before deduction of the net cash acquired and including price adjustments.
The intangible assets and goodwill values relating to these operations are determined on a temporary basis and are likely to change during the period necessary to allocate the goodwill, which can extend to 12 months following the acquisition date.
The impact of these acquisitions on revenue and net income (Group share) is respectively €68.5 million and €6.4 million. Had the acquisitions taken place as of 1 January 2013, the additional impact would have been an increase of €6.9 million on revenue and a decrease of €1.4 million on net income (Group share).
Information communicated to the Executive Board is based on the business segment, as adopted pursuant to the application of IFRS 8 "Operating segments". No aggregation of operating segments is realised.
Companies under joint control are proportionately consolidated in the segment reporting, as is the case in the Group's operating management reporting, which is used by the Executive Board, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).
The Street Furniture operating segment covers, in general, the advertising agreements relating to public property entered into with cities and local authorities. It also includes advertising in shopping centres, as well as the renting of street furniture, the sale and rental of equipment, cleaning and maintenance and other various services.
The Transport operating segment covers advertising in public transport systems, such as airports, subways, buses, tramways and trains.
The Billboard operating segment covers, in general, advertising on private property, including either traditional large format or back-light billboards. It also includes neon-light billboards.
Transfer prices between operating segments are equal to prices determined on an arm's length basis, as in transactions with third parties.
The breakdown of the 2013 segment reporting by operating segment is as follows:
| Street | Transport | Billboard | Total | |

The net impact of reclassifications amounted to €(7.3) million as of 31 December 2012.
As of 31 December 2013, the net value of property, plant and equipment under finance lease amounted to €14.9 million, compared to €12.5 million as of 31 December 2012, and breaks down as follows:

Over 80% of the Group's property, plant and equipment are comprised of street furniture and other advertising structures. These assets represent a range of very diverse products (Seniors, MUPIs®, columns, flag poles, bus shelters, public toilets, benches, bicycles, public litter bins, etc.). These assets are fully owned (controlled by the Group) and Group revenue represents the sale of advertising spaces present in some of these structures. The net book value of buildings amounted to €21.1 million. The Group owns 99% of these buildings, the remaining is owned under finance lease. Buildings comprise administrative offices and warehouses, mainly in Germany and in France for €7.4 million and €4.2 million, respectively.
Goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets refer to the following CGU groups:

This table takes into account the impairment losses recognised on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and goodwill.
(1) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are presented net of provisions for onerous contracts, for €6.7 million and €5.4 million respectively as of 31 December 2013 and 2012, and less net deferred tax liabilities relating to the contracts recognised in connection with business combinations, for €27.3 million and €32.3 million respectively as of 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012.
(2) Includes Transport Europe (excluding France and the United Kingdom, and excluding airports): as of 31 December 2013, the goodwill amounts to €26.3 million, and intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (net of provisions for onerous contracts and net of deferred tax liabilities relating to the contracts recognised in connection with business combinations) amount to €23.6 million. As of 31 December 2012, the goodwill amounts to €48.0 million, and intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (net of provisions for onerous contracts and net of deferred tax liabilities relating to the contracts recognised in connection with business combinations) amount to €21.2 million.
In Europe and in France, the performances of the Billboard business which continue to be disappointing, along with a general economic climate that remains tough, resulted in a €(132) million net impairment allocation for the Group's assets being recorded in the EBIT as of 31 December 2013. This charge is broken down into an impairment allocation of €(3.9) million on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and an impairment of €(126.8) million on goodwill, of which €(77.3) million on the Billboard Europe CGU goodwill (excluding France and the United Kingdom), €(29.5) million on the Billboard France CGU goodwill and €(20.0) million on the Transport Europe CGU goodwill (excluding France and the United Kingdom, and excluding airports), as well as a net allocation of provision for onerous contracts of €(1.3) million.
Impairment tests conducted for goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment have a negative impact of €(129.3) million on net income, Group share.
The discount rate, the growth rate of the operating margin and the perpetual growth rate for the Billboard business are considered to be the Group's key assumptions with respect to impairment testing.
The countries are broken down into five areas based on the risk associated with each country, and each area corresponds to a specific discount rate ranging from 7.5% to 19.5%, for the area presenting the highest risk. An after-tax rate of 7.5%, used in 2013, the same as in 2012, was used particularly in Western Europe (excluding Spain, Portugal, Italy and Ireland), North America, Japan, Singapore and Australia, where the Group conducts nearly 63% of its business. Consequently, the average discount rate for the Group came to 9.1% in 2013. For the Billboard Europe CGU (excluding France and the United Kingdom) and Transport Europe CGU (excluding France and the United Kingdom, and excluding airports), for which an impairment allocation was recorded during this fiscal year, the average discount rate is respectively 8.8% and 8.4%.
Sensitivity tests demonstrate that an increase of 50 basis points in the discount rate would result in an impairment loss of €(1.8) million on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and of €(40.9) million on goodwill of which €(14.7) million on the Billboard Europe CGU goodwill (excluding France and the United Kingdom), €(14.2) million on the Billboard United Kingdom CGU goodwill, €(10.5) million on the Billboard France CGU goodwill and €(1.5) million on the Transport Europe CGU goodwill (excluding France and the United Kingdom, and excluding airports).
Sensitivity tests demonstrate that a decrease of 50 basis points in the normative growth rate of the operating margin would result in an impairment loss of €(2.1) million on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and of €(23.7) million on goodwill of which €(9.1) million on the Billboard France CGU goodwill, €(6.3) million on the Billboard Europe CGU goodwill (excluding France and the United Kingdom), €(6.3) million on the Billboard United Kingdom CGU goodwill and €(2.0) million on the Transport Europe CGU goodwill (excluding France and the United Kingdom, and excluding airports).
Sensitivity tests demonstrate that a decrease of 50 basis points in the perpetual growth rate of the discounted cash flows for the Billboard business would result in an impairment loss of €(31.2) million on goodwill for this business activity of which €(11.6) million on the Billboard Europe CGU goodwill (excluding France and the United Kingdom), €(11.1) million on the Billboard United Kingdom CGU goodwill, €(8.5) million on the Billboard France CGU goodwill.

The €47.8 million increase in trade and other receivables as of 31 December 2013 is primarily related to the growth of business activity.
The balance of past due trade receivables that have not been depreciated for amounted to €246.2 million as of 31 December 2013, compared to €246.4 million as of 31 December 2012. 5.7% of non-provided trade receivables were past due by more than 90 days as of 31 December 2013, compared to 6.9% as of 31 December 2012. No provision was recorded for impairment since the Group deems these trade receivables do not present a risk of non-recovery.

(1) Including €3.3 million recognised versus PP&E.
Provisions consist mainly of provisions for dismantling costs regarding street furniture. They are calculated at the end of each accounting period and are based on the street furniture asset pool and their unitary dismantling cost (labour, cost of destruction and restoration of ground surfaces). As of 31 December 2013, the average residual contract term used to calculate the dismantling provision is seven years.
Provisions for dismantling are discounted at a rate of 2.6% as of 31 December 2013 compared to 2.9% as of 31 December 2012. The change in discount rate leads to a €3.3 million increase of the provisions for dismantling, recognised versus Property, plant and equipment in the statement of financial position. The use of a 2.1% discount rate (change of 50 basis points) would have generated an additional provision of approximately €6.2 million.
The Group's defined employee benefit obligations mainly consist of retirement benefits (contractual termination benefits, pensions and other retirement benefits for senior executives of certain Group subsidiaries) and other long-term benefits paid throughout the employee's career, such as long service awards or jubilees.
The Group's retirement benefits mainly involve France, the United Kingdom and Austria.
In France, termination benefits paid at retirement are calculated in accordance with the "Convention Nationale de la Publicité " (Collective Bargaining Agreement for Advertising). A portion of the obligation is covered by contributions made to an external fund by the French companies of JCDecaux Group.
In the United Kingdom, retirement obligations mainly consist of a pension plan previously opened to some employees of JCDecaux UK Ltd. In December 2002, the vesting rights for this plan were frozen.
In Austria, the obligations mainly comprise contractual termination benefits.
Provisions are calculated according to the following assumptions:

(1) The discount rates for the Euro Zone and the United Kingdom are taken from the Iboxx data and are determined based on the yield rate of bonds issued by leading companies (rated AA).
(2) As the UK plan was frozen, no salary increase was taken into account.

As of 31 December 2013 the Group's benefit obligation amounted to €107.2 million and mainly involved three countries: France (51% of the total benefit obligation), United Kingdom (36%) and Austria (7%).
The valuations were performed by an independent actuary who also conducted sensitivity tests for each of the plans.
The results of the sensitivity tests demonstrate that:
The variances observed during the sensitivity tests do not call into question the rates adopted for the preparation of the financial statements, as they are considered the rates that most closely match the market.

The plan assets are assets which are listed separately from real estate which is not listed.
Future contributions to pension funds for the 2014 fiscal year are estimated at €1.5 million.
The average weighted duration is respectively 11 years and 16 years for the Euro Zone and the United Kingdom.
The JCDecaux UK Ltd pension plan in the United Kingdom has been closed since December 2002. Today only the deferred or retirees remain in this plan. "Funding" evaluations are carried out every three years in order to determine the level of the plan's deficit with the agreement of the Trustees and the employer in compliance with the regulations. A schedule of contributions is currently determined up to 2024.
Contributions paid for defined contribution plans represented €31.6 million in 2013 (including €0.7 million for the contributions paid for the defined contribution multi-employer plan in Finland), compared to €31.8 million in 2012 (including €0.8 million for the contributions paid for the defined contribution multi-employer plan in Finland).
The Group takes part in three multi-employer defined benefit plans covered by assets in Sweden (ITP Plan). An evaluation is performed according to the local standards each year. The benefit obligation of the company JCDecaux Sverige AB cannot currently be determined separately. As of 31 December 2012, the three plans were in a surplus position for a total amount of €10.0 million, at the national level, according to local evaluations specific to these commitments. The expense recognised in the consolidated financial statements for these three plans is the same as the contributions paid in 2013, i.e. €0.3 million. The future contributions of the three plans will be reduced in 2014.
Provisions for litigation amounted to €10.4 million as of 31 December 2013. Provisions for risks in "Other provisions" are reclassified directly from "Other provisions" to "Provisions for litigation" once proceedings begin.
The JCDecaux Group is party to several legal disputes regarding the terms and conditions of application for certain contracts with its concession grantors and the terms and conditions governing supplier relations. In addition, the specific nature of its business (contracts with government authorities in France and abroad) may generate specific contentious procedures. The JCDecaux Group is party to litigation over the awarding or cancellation of street furniture and/or billboard contracts, as well as tax litigation.
The Group's Legal Department identifies all litigation (nature, amounts, procedure, risk level), regularly monitors developments and compares this information with that of the Finance Department. The amount of provisions to be recognised for these litigations is analysed case by case, based on the positions of the plaintiffs, the assessment of the Group's legal advisors and any decisions handed down by a lower court.
The other provisions for €18.5 million comprise provisions for tax risks for €7.1 million, provisions for onerous contracts for €6.7 million and other miscellaneous provisions for €4.7 million.
Subsequent to a risk analysis, the Group deemed that it was not necessary to recognise a contingency provision with respect to ongoing proceedings, tax risks or the terms and conditions governing the implementation or awarding of contracts.
No provision for dismantling costs in respect of billboard business is recognised in the Group financial statements. Indeed, the Group deems that the obligation to dismantle panels of the billboard business corresponds to a contingent liability as either the obligation is hardly probable or it cannot be estimated with sufficient reliability due to the uncertainty of the probable dismantling date that conditions the discounting impact. Regarding panels similar to street furniture for which the unitary dismantling cost is more material than the traditional panels one, the Group had estimated the overall non-discounted dismantling cost at €5.2 million as of 31 December 2013 and as of 31 December 2012.

(*) Financial assets for treasury management purposes are investments which have the main characteristics of cash equivalents but do not strictly comply with all the criteria to be qualified as such according to IAS 7.
(**) The net financial debt is restated for the loans related to the proportionately consolidated companies when their funding is shared between the different shareholders.
The debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests is recorded separately and therefore is not included in the financial debt. They are described in Note 5.14 "Debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests".
Hedging financial derivatives and debt characteristics after hedging are described in Note 5.15 "Financial derivatives". They do not include financial derivatives held for other purposes than hedging, as they are not taken into account in the Group's net financial debt.
The debt analyses presented hereafter are based on the economic financial debt, which is equal to the gross financial debt on the statement of financial assets adjusted by the impact of the fair value revaluation arising from hedging and amortised cost (IAS 39 restatements):

The Group's financial debt mainly comprises a €500 million bond issued by JCDecaux SA in February 2013 maturing in February 2018.
The Group's financial debt also includes:
In April 2013, the Group repaid B and C tranches of the USPP for respectively US\$100 million (€94.9 million including foreign exchange rate hedging) and €100 million.
The average effective interest rate of JCDecaux SA's debts after interest rate hedging is approximately 1.9% for 2013.
As of 31 December 2013, the Group had a €600.0 million committed revolving credit facility, carried by JCDecaux SA. In February 2014, JCDecaux SA signed an amendment to this revolving credit facility, reducing the margin and extending its term for two years until February 2019.
This facility is undrawn as of 31 December 2013.
The funding sources of JCDecaux SA are committed, and they require the Group to be compliant with several restrictive covenants, for which the calculation is based on the consolidated financial statements.
They require the Group to maintain specific financial ratios:
As of 31 December 2013, the Group is compliant with these covenants, with values significantly far from required limits.

The debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests amounted to €124.5 million as of 31 December 2013, compared to €117.4 million as of 31 December 2012.
The item primarily comprises a purchase commitment given to the partner company Progress, for its interest in Gewista Werbe GmbH, exercisable between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019.
The €7.1 million increase in the debt on commitments to purchase non-controlling interests between 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2013 corresponds to the discounting loss recorded in the period for €2.5 million and a new commitment related to the scope change for €4.6 million.
The Group uses derivatives for interest rate and foreign exchange rate hedging purposes. These derivatives are primarily held by JCDecaux SA.
As of 31 December 2013, the USPP, before and after hedging, is as follows:
| Tranche D | Tranche E | |
|---|---|---|
| Principal amount before hedging | US\$50 million | €50 million |
| Maturity date | April 2015 | April 2015 |
| Repayment | At maturity | At maturity |
| Interest rate before hedging | US\$ Fixed rate | Euribor |
| Hedging instrument | basis swap combined with interest rate swap: receiving fixed rate (US\$) / paying floating rate (Euribor) |
NA |
| Principal amount after hedging | €47.4 million | €50 million |
| Interest rate after hedging | Euribor | Euribor |
This basis swap on Tranche D meets the conditions required to be qualified as fair value hedge within the meaning of IAS 39. The features of the hedged debt and the hedging instrument are identical, therefore the hedge is effective.
As the debt is measured at fair value, the changes in value of the hedged debt are offset by symmetrical changes in value of the derivatives. Consequently, there is no impact in the income statement.
The market values of this derivative were determined by discounting the future cash flow differential based on zero coupon rates prevailing as of the closing date of the statement of financial position:
| Fair value as | Fair value as | |

The Group's foreign exchange risk exposure is mainly generated by its business in foreign countries. However, because of its operating structure, the JCDecaux Group is not very vulnerable to currency fluctuations in terms of cash flows, as the subsidiaries in each country do business in their own country and inter-company services and purchases are relatively insignificant. Accordingly, most of the foreign exchange risk stems from the translation of local-currency-denominated accounts to the euro-denominated consolidated accounts.
The foreign exchange risk on flows is mainly related to financial activities (refinancing and recycling of cash with foreign subsidiaries pursuant to the Group's cash centralisation policy). The Group hedges this risk mainly with short-term currency swaps.
Since the inter-company loans and receivables are eliminated upon consolidation, only the value of the hedging instruments is presented in the assets or liabilities of the statement of financial position.
As of 31 December 2013, the main financial instruments contracted by the Group are as follows:
| 31/12/2013 | 31/12/2012 | |

The €30.7 million increase in current liabilities as of 31 December 2013 is primarily related to the growth of the business activity. Operating liabilities have a maturity of one year or less.

| - Price of underlying at grant date | €20.21 | €24.00 | €19.93 | €9.99 | €20.46 | €22.86 |
| - Estimated volatility | 38.41% | 36.71% | 36.56% | 31.74% | 24.93% | 28.66% |

(1) Consensus of financial analysts on future dividends (source: Bloomberg).
(2) The fair value does not include the impact of turnover.
The option life retained represents the period from the grant date to management's best estimate of the most likely date of exercise.
As the Group had more historical data for the valuation of the 2007 to 2012 plans, it was able to refine its volatility calculation assumptions. Therefore, the first year of listing was not included in the volatility calculation, as it was considered abnormal due primarily to the sharp movements in share price inherent to the IPO and the effect of 11 September 2001.
Furthermore, at the issuance of the plans and based on observed behaviours, the Group considered that the option would be exercised 4.5 years on average after the grant date.
The net reversals of provision increased by €1.5 million particularly through the reversals on provisions in Asia related to litigation settlement for €2.3 million.
Depreciation and amortisation net of reversals decreased by €4.1 million. In 2013, this item comprises a depreciation of €(5.2) million related to impairment tests, including a depreciation of amortisation for €(3.9) million and a depreciation of provisions for onerous contract for €(1.3) million. In 2012, this line item included a net €(7.8) million depreciation, €0.6 million of which was a reversal of provisions for onerous contract.
As of 31 December 2013, an impairment of goodwill is recorded on the Billboard Europe CGU (excluding France and the United Kingdom) for €77.3 million, on the Billboard France CGU for €29.5 million and on the Transport Europe CGU (excluding France and the United Kingdom, and excluding airports) for €20.0 million.
As of 31 December 2012, an impairment of goodwill was recorded on the Billboard Europe CGU (excluding France and the United Kingdom) for €38.0 million.
The item comprises the cost of spare parts for street furniture as part of maintenance operations for the advertising network, excluding glass panel replacements and cleaning products, and inventory impairment losses.
Other operating income and expenses break down as follows:
| 2013 | 2012 | |
|---|---|---|
| In million euros | Restated | |
| Gain on disposal of financial assets and gain on changes in scope | 9.9 | 6.3 |
| Gain on disposal of PP&E and intangible assets | 3.7 | 0.7 |

| Other management expenses | (9.9) | (10.7) |
| Other operating expenses | (14.4) | (13.5) |

In 2013, the gains on disposal of financial assets and changes in scope for €9.9 million are mainly related to the revaluation of the interest previously held in BigBoard in Russia following the control acquired in Russ Outdoor and to the asset swap related to the acquisition of Ankünder GmbH in Austria.

As a result of its business, the Group may be more or less exposed to varying degrees of financial risks (especially liquidity and financing risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, and risks related to financial management, in particular, counterparty risk). The Group's objective is to minimise such risks by choosing appropriate financial policies. However, the Group may need to manage residual positions. This strategy is monitored and managed centrally, by a dedicated team within the Group Finance Department. Risk management policies and hedging strategies are approved by Group management.
The table below presents the contractual cash flows (interest cash-flows and contractual repayments) related to financial liabilities and derivative instruments:

For revolving debt, the nearest maturity is indicated.
The Group generates enough operating cash flows to self-finance its organic growth. In the Group's opinion, opportunities of acquisitions could lead it to temporarily increase this net debt, which is negative at closing date.
The Group's financing strategy consists of:
JCDecaux SA is rated "Baa2" by Moody's and "BBB" by Standard and Poor's (last Moody's rating on 13 September 2013, and Standard and Poor's on 27 June 2013), with a stable outlook for both ratings.
As of 31 December 2013, the net financial debt (excluding non-controlling interest purchase commitments) was €(32.0) million, compared to €(34.9) million as of 31 December 2012.
80% of Group financial debt is carried by JCDecaux SA and has an average maturity of approximately 3.7 years.
As of 31 December 2013, the Group has €784.8 million in cash (see Note 5.9 "Managed Cash") and €635.0 million in unused committed credit facilities.
JCDecaux SA financing sources are committed, and some of them require the Group to be compliant with several covenants for which the calculation is based on the consolidated financial statements. The nature of the ratios is described in Note 5.13 "Net financial debt".
The Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations as a result of its debt, particularly the euro, the Russian ruble, the US dollar, the Israeli shekel, the Chinese yuan and the British pound sterling. Given the high correlation between the advertising market and the level of general economic activity of the countries where the Group operates, the Group's policy is to secure primarily floating-rate financing except when the interest rates are considered particularly low. Hedging operations are mainly centralised at JCDecaux SA level. The split between fixed rate and floating rate is described in Note 5.13 "Net financial debt" and the hedging information is available in Note 5.15 "Financial derivatives".
The following table breaks down financial assets and liabilities by interest rate maturity as of 31 December 2013:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In million euros | ≤ 1 year | > 1 year & ≤ 5 years |

For fixed-rate assets and liabilities, the maturity indicated is that of the asset and the liability.
The interest rates on floating-rate assets and liabilities are adjusted every one, three or six months. The maturity indicated is therefore less than one year regardless of the maturity date.
As of 31 December 2013, 70.5% of total Group economic financial debt, all currencies considered, was at fixed rates, 13.2% was hedged against an increase in short-term interest rates in the currencies concerned; 65.1% of total Group euro-denominated(1) economic gross debt was at fixed rates, and 13% was hedged against an increase in Euribor rates.
In 2013, net income, before goodwill impairment, generated in currencies other than the euro accounted for 69% of the Group's consolidated net income.
Despite its presence in more than 55 countries, the JCDecaux Group is relatively immune to currency fluctuations in terms of cash flows, as the subsidiaries in each country do business solely in their own country and inter-company services and purchases are relatively insignificant.
However, as the presentation currency of the Group is the euro, the Group's consolidated financial statements are affected by the conversion of financial statements denominated in local currencies into euros.

Based on the 2013 actual data, the table below details the Group's consolidated net income and reserves exposure to a -5% change in the foreign exchange rates of each of the most represented currencies the Chinese yuan, the British pound sterling, the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar:
| Chinese yuan | British Pound sterling |

| Impact on consolidated reserves | -0.2% | -0.5% | -0.1% | -0.5% |
(*) Net income before goodwill impairment.
As of 31 December 2013, the Group mainly holds foreign exchange currency hedges of financial transactions:
As of 31 December 2013, the Group considers that its financial position and earnings would not be materially affected by exchange rate fluctuations.
As of 31 December 2013, the Group's managed cash balance amounted €784.8 million, which includes €540.5 million in cash equivalents, €40.7 million in financial assets for treasury management purposes and €10.5 million in guarantees.
The Group is not subject to any external requirements in terms of management of its equity.
The Group uses derivatives solely to hedge foreign exchange and interest rate risks.
JCDecaux SA is rated "Baa2" by Moody's and "BBB" by Standard & Poor's as of the date of publication of these Notes, with a stable outlook for both ratings.
The €500 million bond issued in February 2013 includes in its terms and conditions a clause of change of control giving to the bond holders the possibility to request early repayment in the event of a change of control accompanied by a downgraded credit rating in speculative grade or credit rating exit. The Group's other primary financing sources (financing raised by the parent company), as well as principal hedging arrangements are not subject to early termination in the event of a downgrade of the Group's credit rating.
Group counterparty risks relate to the investment by the subsidiaries of their excess cash balances with banks and to other financial transactions mainly involving JCDecaux SA (via unused committed credit facilities and hedging commitments). The Group's policy is to minimise this risk by (i) reducing excess cash in the Group by centralising the subsidiaries' available cash at JCDecaux SA level as much as possible, (ii) obtaining prior authorisation from the Group's finance department when opening bank accounts, (iii) selecting banks in which JCDecaux SA and its subsidiaries can make deposits (iiii) and following up this counterparty risk on a regular basis.
(1) Bond debt issued in the United States in 2003
The counterparty risk in respect of trade receivables is covered by the necessary provisions if needed. The net book value of the trade receivables is detailed in part 5.8 "Trade and other receivables". The Group maintains a low level of dependence towards a particular client, as no client represents more than 2.5% of the Group's revenue.
In order to generate interests on its excess cash position, the Group mainly subscribes short-term investments and short term deposits. The investments consist of money market securities. These instruments are invested on a short-term basis, earn interest at money market benchmark rates, are liquid, and involve only limited counterparty risk.
The Group's policy is not to own marketable shares or securities other than money market securities and treasury shares. Therefore the Group considers its risk exposure arising from marketable shares and securities to be very low.
