Note 1 - Introduction

This unaudited consolidated financial information of Legrand is presented for a nine-month period ending September 30, 2015. This unaudited consolidated financial information should be read in accordance with consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 such as established in the Registration document (Document de référence) deposited under visa no D.15-0352 with the AMF (Autorité des Marchés Financiers) on April 15, 2015.

All the amounts are presented in millions of euros unless otherwise indicated. Some totals may include rounding differences.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) interpretations adopted by the European Union and applicable or authorized for early adoption from January 1, 2015.

None of the IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that have not been adopted for use in the European Union are applicable to the Group.

Note 2 - Changes in the scope of consolidation

The contributions to the Group's consolidated financial statements of companies acquired since January 1, 2014 were as follows:

2014 March 31 June 30 September 30 December 31
Lastar inc. Balance sheet only 3 months' profit 6 months' profit 9 months' profit
Neat Balance sheet only Balance sheet only 7 months' profit 10 months' profit
SJ Manufacturing Balance sheet only Balance sheet only 7 months' profit
2015 March 31 June 30 September 30
Lastar Inc. 3 months' profit 6 months' profit 9 months' profit
Neat 3 months' profit 6 months' profit 9 months' profit
SJ Manufacturing 3 months' profit 6 months' profit 9 months' profit
Valrack Balance sheet only Balance sheet only Balance sheet only
IME Balance sheet only Balance sheet only
Raritan inc. Balance sheet only

The acquisitions announced in the first nine months of 2015 were as follows:

  • The Group acquired Valrack, an Indian player specialized in racks, Voice-Data-Image cabinets and related products. Valrack has annual sales of under €10 million;

  • The Group acquired IME, a leading Italian and European specialist in measuring electrical installation parameters. IME has annual sales of around €23 million.

  • The Group acquired Raritan inc., a frontrunner in intelligent PDUs and KVM switches in North America. Raritan inc. has annual sales of around \$114 million.

In all, acquisitions of subsidiaries (net of cash acquired) came to a total of €212.4 million in the first nine months of 2015 (plus €1.8 million for acquisitions of ownership interests without gain of control), versus €102.8 million in the first nine months of 2014 (plus €28.9 million for acquisitions of ownership interests without gain of control).

Note 3 – Impacts of IFRIC 21 – Levies

In May 2013, the IFRS Interpretation Committee issued IFRIC 21 – Levies which aims to clarify the trigger event for the provisioning for all taxes other than income taxes.

The main impact of IFRIC 21 is to account for the provision of certain taxes for their full amount as soon as the trigger event occurred (in this case, the liability to pay a levy), instead of recognizing this amount gradually over the year.

In June 2014, IFRIC 21 was adopted by the European Union, with mandatory application for annual periods beginning on or after June 17, 2014. Therefore, this interpretation has been applied by the Group from January 1, 2015.

This change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The comparable financial information has been restated for significant amounts (which concern only France).

The IFRIC 21 application has no impact on full year Group operating income and free cash flow.
