In 2018, Operational free cash flow was presented after deduction of rental expenses in cash flows from operating activities, while from 2019, as a result of application of IFRS 16, only cash flows relating to interest paid are presented in cash flows from operating activities. The residual balance, consisting of lease payments, is presented in cash flows from financing activities (net change in financial liabilities of the Automotive segments) and is thus excluded from the Operational free cash flow. Without application of IFRS 16, the Operational free cash flow for 57 million.

2 A. Changes in accounting policies
A1 Changes in accounting policies in 2019
The Renault Group applies the accounting standards and amendments that have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union and are mandatory from January 1, 2019.
| New amendments that became mandatory on January 1, 2019 | |
|---|---|
| IFRS 16 | Leases |
| IFRIC 23 | Uncertainty over income tax treatments |
| IAS 28 amendment | Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures |
| IFRS 9 amendment | Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation |
| IAS 19 amendment | Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement |
| Annual improvements to IFRS, 2015-2017 cycle |
Various measures concerning: - Amendments to IFRS 3 - tax consequences of payments on financial instruments classified as equity - Amendments to IAS capitalization |
The changes related to application of IFRS 16 and IFRIC 23 are presented below.
The other standards and amendments that became mandatory on January 1, 2019 have no significant imp financial statements.
New standards and amendments published in the Official Journal of the European Union that are applied early by the Group
The Renault Group has opted for early application in 2019 of the amendments to IAS interest rate benchmark reform, which were published in the Official Journal of the European Union on January 16, 2020.
est rate hedging relationships (cash flow hedges or fair value hedges) remain unchanged during the period of uncertainty caused by the replacement of a benchmark rate.
As the method and date for replacing LIBOR rates in the interest rate benchmark reform is not yet completely finalized, the Renault group applies these amendments to hedging relationships that include LIBOR rates. The Group considers there is no uncertainty over the EURIBOR rate as the new method for determining EURIBOR has been validated by the ESMA (European Security and Market Authority).
The Group has not opted for early application of the following new amendments published in the Official Journal of the European Union, which will be mandatory for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2020.
| New amendments published in the Official Journal of the European Union that are not applied early by the Group | |

| Amendment to IFRS 3 | Definition of a business |
A2 Changes in the financial statements as a result of first application of IFRS
associated IFRIC and SIC interpretations. It eliminates the previous distinction between operating leases and finance leases for the lessee.
Under IFRS 16, a lessee recognizes an asset related to the right of use and a financial liability that represents the lease obligation. The right-of-use asset is amortized over the expected term of the lease and the lease liability, initially recognized at the present value of lease payments over the expected term of the lease, is unwound using the implicit interest rate of the lease agreement if it can be readily determined, or at the incremental borrowing rate otherwise. In the income statement, amortization of the rightof-use asset is recorded in the operating margin, and a financial expense corresponding to the interest on the lease liability is recorded in financial income and expenses, replacing the lease payments previously charged to the operating margin. The tax impact of this consolidation adjustment is recognized via deferred taxes. In the cash flow statement, cash flows from operating activities are impacted by interest expenses paid, and cash flows from financing activities are impacted by the reimbursed lease liability. Previously, cash flows from operating activities were impacted by the total amount of lease payments.
The Group has chosen to apply the exemptions allowed by IFRS 16. Consequently, in the case of leases with a term of 12 months or less, and leases of low-value assets, it continues to recognize lease payments in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract.
The definition of the performance indicators (see note 4.2.6.1-A4) used to calculate the remuneration of key executives and other members of Group personnel is unchanged. Consequently, these indicators are affected by application of IFRS 16 as described above.
The changes resulting from adoption of IFRS 16 are applied under the simplified retrospective approach in the financial statements of 2019. The comparative figures for the year 2018 have not been restated for application of IFRS 16 and are thus identical to the figures published in the 2018 consolidated financial statements, which complied with the accounting principles in force at the time under IAS 17.
ng when an arrangemen determine values at the date of initial application (1 January 2019):
- Accounting for leases with a residual term of less than 12 months at the date of first application in the same way as shortterm leases;
- Excluding of initial direct costs from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application;
- Adjusting the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application by the amount of provisions for onerous leases recognized immediately before the date of initial application.
The term of the lease is the non-cancellable period of a lease contract during which the lessee has the right to use the leased asset, extended by any renewal options the Group is reasonably certain to exercise. For French commercial leases, the lease term is generally 9 years.
concerning the lease contract term and its impact on improvements to leased buildings has no sign
In the balance sheet at January 1, 2019, the financial liabilities relating to leases are equal to the discounted value of future lease payments, determined using the incremental borrowing rate at December 31, 2018, defined on the basis of the residual term of the lease. As a lessee, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate, calculated for each monetary zone as the risk-free rate applicable in th applied to lease liabilities at January 1, 2019 was 2.35%.
Right-of-use assets were measured at January 1, 2019 as the value of lease liabilities at that date, adjusted for prepaid lease payments or lease incentives for the leases concerned that were recognized in the statement of financial position at December 31, 2018.
The difference between the lease liability at the date of initial application, and the operating lease commitments reported in the notes to the financial statements at December 31, 2018 under IAS 17 are explained in the following table:
| January 1, 2019 | |
|---|---|
| Off balance sheet lease commitments at December 31, 2018 | 661 |
| Leases outside the scope of application of IFRS 16 and exemptions | (71) |

(2) Mainly the provision for costs on vacant leased premises in Korea, estimated until the end of the lease contracts and reclassified as a charge to the right of use.
At December 31, 2019, lease payments not restated in the statement of financial position are as follows:
| December 31, 2019 | |
|---|---|
| Lease payments for short-term leases | (33) |
| Lease payments for leases of low-value assets | (31) |
| Other lease payments including variable lease payments | (48) |
Information relating to lease liabilities is presented in note 23.
Changes in cash flows relating to lease liabilities by operating segment are as follows:

A3
n that called into question the accounting positions taken in the financial statements at December 31, 2018. It thus has no impact on To determine the provisions relating to uncertain tax liabilities, the Group uses a caseby-case method, generally based on the most probable value.
During the first half-year of 2019, the IFRIC committee was asked for guidance on classification of uncertain tax liabilities in the consolidated financial position. In September 2019, the IFRIC concluded that they should be presented as current tax liabilities and/or included in deferred taxes. This was not the approach used by the Group, which had classified provisions for uncertain tax liabilities in provisions (note 20) in view of the qualitative characteristics that determine useful financial information, as defined in the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.
These provisions have now been reclassified and are reported on specific lines in the consolidated financial position (4.2.3), broken down into a short-term and a long-term portion, at December 31, 2019 and for all the periods presented. This presentation on specific lines complies with IAS 1.55.
2 B. Estimates and judgments
In preparing its financial statements, Renault has to make estimates and assumptions that affect the book value of certain assets and liabilities, income and expense items, and the information disclosed in certain notes. Renault regularly revises its estimates and assessments to take account of past experience and other factors deemed relevant in view of the economic circumstances. If changes in these assumptio financial statements could differ from the estimates established at the time the financial statements were finalized.
In general, the main items in the Group December 31, 2019 are:
- Capitalization of research and development expenses and their amortization period (notes 2-K and 10-A),
- The depreciation and amortization periods for fixed assets other than capitalized development expenses (notes 2-K, 2-L and 10).
- Any impairment on fixed assets (notes 2-M and 11) and operating receivables (notes 16 and 17), particularly impairment on assets in Argentina, which has been in a hyperinflationary situation since 2018 (note 11-B) and assets in China (notes 6-B and 13),
- The recoverable value of leased vehicles classified as property, plant and equipment or in inventories (notes 2-G, 10-B and 14),
- Investments in associates, notably Nissan (notes 2-M, 12 and 13);
- Sales financing receivables (notes 2-G and 15);
- Recognition of deferred taxes (notes 2-I and 8);
- Determination of sales incentive programs recorded in other liabilities (notes 2-G and 21);
- Provisions, particularly vehicle and battery warranty provisions (note 2-G), provisions for pensions and other longterm employee benefit obligations (notes 2-S and 19) and provisions for workforce adjustment measures (notes 2-T and 6-A), provisions for legal risks and tax risks (other than income tax risks) (note 20) and provisions for uncertain tax liabilities (note 21);
- Determination of lease liabilities, particularly the incremental borrowing rates and the value of renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised (note 23),
- The value of assets in Iran, mainly comprising shares, a shareholder loan and commercial receivables (note 6-D) and in general the value of Group assets located in all areas concerned by country risks.
2 C. Consolidation principles
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of all companies controlled exclusively by the Group either directly or indirectly (subsidiaries). Jointly controlled companies are accounted for under the equity method when they are classified as joint ventures and consolidated on the basis of the percentage share specific to each balance sheet and income statement item when they are classified as joint operations.
Companies in which the Group exercises significant influence (associates) are included in the financial statements on an equity basis.
Significant intercompany transactions and unrealized internal profits are eliminated.
Investments in non-significant companies that are controlled exclusively by the Group but not consolidated, even though they fulfil the above criteria, are recorded as other non-current assets.
Their consolidation would have a negligible impact on the consolidated financial statements, since they are Group-financed entities whose losses, if any, are recognized via impairment losses, and which:
- acquire almost all their purchases from Group companies or
- carry out almost all their sales transactions with Group companies.
Put options on non-controlling interests are carried in the consolidated financial position at fair value, and classified in other financial liabilities in the Automotive segments and in other non-current liabilities in the Sales Financing segment, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
2 D. Presentation of the consolidated financial statements
Valuation basis
The consolidated financial statements are established under the historical cost convention, except for certain categories of assets and liabilities, in compliance with IFRS rules. The categories concerned are detailed in the following notes.
Operating income and operating margin
Operating income includes all revenues and costs non-recurring decisions or operations, such as restructuring costs. The operating margin corresponds to the operating income before other operating income and expenses, which are by nature unusual or significant and could affect comparability of the margin. Other operating income and expenses cover:
- restructuring costs relating to discontinued activities and workforce adjustment costs;
- gains or losses on partial or total disposal of businesses or operating entities, gains or losses on total or partial disposals of investments in associates and joint ventures, other gains and losses relating to changes in the scope of consolidation such as acquisitions of control, as defined by IFRS 10, over entities previously accounted for under the equity method, and direct acquisition costs for entities that are fully consolidated or consolidated on a line-by-line percentage of interest basis;
- gains or losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets (except leased assets sales);
- impairment on property, plant and equipment or intangible assets and goodwill (excluding goodwill of associates or joint ventures);
- unusual items, i.e. income and charges that are unusual in their frequency, nature or amount, relating to significant litigation or impairment of operating receivables.
Share in net income of associates and joint ventures
-M). The impairment booked is limited to the net book value of the investment, unless an additional commitment has been made.
The gain or loss resulting from the sale or loss of significant influence or joint control over associates and joint ventures accounted for by the equity method, and the gain or loss on acquisition of control, as defined by IFRS 10, over companies that were already statement. This includes transfers of accumulated translation adjustments during the period the entity was accounted for by the equity method.
The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability on dividend distributions for all differences between the book and tax values of its investments in associates and joint ventures (note 2 statement.
Goodwill relating to associates and joint ventures is included in the value of the relevant entities as stated in the assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. In the event of impairment, an impairment loss is booked and included in the consolidated income statement via the share in net income (loss) of associates and joint ventures (note 2-J).
Acquisition expenses related to investments in associates and joint ventures are included in the initial acquisition cost for these investments.
Cross-investments between a consolidated entity and an associate are neutralized in measuring the investment in the associate uing the investment in Nissan shown in the assets of the consolidated statement of financial position (note 12).
Divi flow, while dividends received from listed associates and joint ventures, i.e. Nissan, are excluded from the operational free cash flow of the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment.
Reporting by operating segment
f Operating Decision- prepared under the IFRSs applicable to the consolidated financial statements. All are reserved for transactions between the segments, which are carried out on near-market terms. Dividends paid by the Sales Financing segment to the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment are included in the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ)
The indicator used to evaluate segment performance is the operating margin.
operating items. The tax effect inherent to the French consolidated taxation system is included in the tax expense of the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment.
Assets and liabilities are specific to each segment. Receivables assigned by the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment to the sales financing companies are treated as operating assets by the assignee when the risks and benefits are substantially transferred. These receivables are mostly receivables on the dealership network.
Vehicles and batteries for which the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment has a repurchase commitment are included in a receivable on the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment.
Current and non-current assets and liabilities
Sales financing receivables, other securities, derivatives, loans and financial liabilities of the Sales Financing segment (other than redeemable shares and subordinated loans) are considered as current assets and liabilities, because they are used in this normal business cycle.
For the Automotive segments, in addition to items directly related to the business cycle, all assets and liabilities maturing within one year are classified as current.
2 E. Translation of the financial statements of foreign companies
For foreign companies, the functional currency is generally the local currency. In cases where most transactions are carried out in a different currency, that is adopted as the functional currency.
presentation currency as follows:
- orical value, are translated at the closing exchange rate;
- income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period;
- the translation adjustment is one of the other components of comprehensive income, and therefore has no impact on net income.
Goodwill generated by a business combination with a foreign company is treated as an asset or liability of the entity acquired, as appropriate. It is therefore expressed in the relevant entity's functional currency, and translated into euros at the closing rate.
When a foreign company is sold, the accumulated translation adjustments on its assets and liabilities are transferred to other operating income and expenses in the income statement.
In an exception to the above principles, the financial statements of entities in hyperinflationary economies are translated in -monetary balance sheet items, income statement items, comprehensive income items and cash flow statement items are adjusted for inflation in their original local currency, then all the financial statements are translated at the closing exchange rate for the period. This hyperinflationary accounting leads to recognition of a gain or loss resulting from exposure to hyperinflation, which is classified as other financial income and expenses and thus included in reserves the following year.
To determine whether a country is in hyperinflation, the Group refers to the list published by the International Practices Task ted in accordance with the principles of IAS 29, which are applied from January 1, 2018.
It should be noted that the IFRIC is currently examining questions submitted to it about application of IAS of entities operating in a hyperinflationary economy. These questions particularly concern the classification of accumulated translation adjustments prior to the hyperinflation period, and classification of the effects of index-based restatement and translation of the financial statements of hyperinflationary economy subsidiaries in reserves or in the translation adjustment included in equity. Allocation of the effects of index-based restatement for hyperinflation and translation of the accounts between reserves and the translation adjustment
2 F. Translation of foreign currency transactions
Transactions undertaken in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity concerned are initially translated to and recorded in the functional currency, using the rate applicable at the transaction date.
For financial reporting purposes, monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at the closing rate. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognized in the income statement, except for foreign exchange gains and losses on financial instruments designated as hedges of a net investment in a foreign entity (note 2-X).
The following impacts are therefore recorded in net income:
translation adjustments related to financial operations by the Automotive segments are included in the net financial income; other translation adjustments are included in the operating margin.
Derivatives are measured and recorded as described in note 2-X.
2 G. Revenues and margin
Sales of goods and services and margin recognition
Sales and margin recognition
Sales of automotive goods are recognized at the date control is transferred. The transfer of control over automotive goods takes place when the goods are made available to the distribution network in the case of non-Group dealers (at the time they are added to or removed from stock, depending on the contractual arrangements) or upon delivery to the end-user in the case of direct sales.
However, there is no transfer of control in the case of goods sold under an operating lease by a Group finance company, or in the case of goods sold with a buy-back commitment if it is highly likely that they will be returned. In such transactions, the revenues are recognized progressively over the lease period, and a used vehicle sale is recorded when control of the used vehicle is transferred.
The difference between the price paid by the customer and the buy-back price is treated as rental income, and spread over the posal. The production cost for the new automotive item concerned is recorded in inventories for contracts of less than one year, or included in property, plant and equipment under fixed assets leased to customers when the contracts exceed one year. The forecast resale value takes account of recent known developments on the second-hand automotive market but also future anticipated developments over the period in which the automotive goods will be sold, which may be influenced by factors both external (economic situation, taxation) and internal (changes in the range or the ntories) or additional depreciation (if the automotive item is included in property, plant and equipment) is recognized to cover the loss.
Sales incentive programs
Sales incentive programs based on the volumes or prices of products sold are deducted from sales when the sales operations concerned are recorded. Any provisions are based on estimates of the most probable amount.
The Group undertakes certain promotional campaigns offering reduced-interest customer credit or discounts on services. Because these are sales incentives, the cost of these operations is recognized as a reduction in sales by the Automotive segment when the vehicle sale takes place, and is not spread over the duration of the financing or the services concerned.
Warranty
The Group makes a distinction between insurance-type warranties and service-type warranties. Provisions are established for insurance-type warranties, while service-type warranties give rise to revenue that is spread over the duration of the warranty extension.
oduct or part warranties classified as insurance-type warranties are charged to expenses when the sales are recorded. Provisions for costs to be borne by Renault are valued on the basis of observed data by model and engine, i.e. the level of costs, and the In the event of product recalls following incidents that come to light after the vehicle has been put on the market, provisions are established to cover the costs involved as soon as the decision to undertake the recall campaign has been made. Amounts claimed from suppliers are deducted from the warranty expense when it is considered practically certain they will be recovered.
Services related to sales of automotive products
Revenues from service contracts sold by the Group are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis. These contracts may be for warranty extensions, maintenance or insurance.
Such service contracts may be sold separately to the final customer or included free of charge in a sale package covering a vehicle and related services. In either case, the Group considers service contracts as a separate service obligation from delivery of the vehicle, and allocates a portion of revenue to the service contract.
When the customer makes regular payments for the service contract, the revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis. When the contract is prepaid (for example, when it is paid for by the customer at the time of the vehicle purchase), the amounts received are recorded as deferred income, and spread over the duration of the contract, on a straight-line basis for warranty extensions and following an experience curve for maintenance contracts.
Impairment of customer receivables
Impairment is booked in respect of the Automo prospective assessment of the credit risk at the inception of the receivable and any deterioration of that risk over time. When there is an incurred credit loss, impairment is recorded individually for each receivable.
Sales financing revenues and operating margin recognition
Sales financing revenues
Sales financing revenues are generated by financing operations for sales of vehicles to dealers and end-users. These financing operations take the form of loans from the Sales Financing segment companies, and are carried in the balance sheet at amortized cost under the effective interest rate method, less any impairment. Income on these contracts is calculated so as to give a constant interest rate over the period, and is included in sales revenues.
Sales financing costs
The costs of sales financing are considered as operating expenses and included in the operating margin. They mainly comprise interest incurred by sales financing companies to refinance their customer loan transactions, other costs and revenues directly related to administration of this type of refinancing (temporary investments, hedging and management of exchange and interest rate risks), and the cost of risks related to receivables. Refinancing comes from diversified sources: public and private bond issues, public and private securitization backed by Automotive segments loans, negotiable debt instruments, savings collected and financing from credit institutions and assimilates.
Commissions payable to business intermediaries
Commissions are treated as external distribution costs, and therefore deferred as contract acquisition costs, so as to give a constant interest rate over the term of the financing contracts.
Classification and impairment of receivables
The impairment method for financial receivables depends on the category concerned. For healthy receivables (stage 1), impairment is equivalent to the 12-month expected credit loss; for receivables on which the credit risk has significantly deteriorated since initial recognition (stage 2), impairment is equivalent to the lifetime expected losses; and for receivables in default (stage 3), impairment is equivalent to the incurred credit loss.
The Sales Financing segment uses an internal scoring system or external ratings to identify any significant deterioration in the credit risk. In addition, this segment has decided to use the assumptions set out in the standard and thus downgrades any receivable outstanding after 30 days to stage 2, and any receivable still outstanding after 90 days to stage 3.
The Sales Financing segment refers to the current recommendations of the Basel Committee to generate the parameters needed to calculate the probability of default and the loss rates in the event of default on loans and financing, finance lease receivables, irrevocable financing commitments, and financial guarantees given to customers and dealers in its principal countries of business (Germany, Brazil, Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom for customer and dealer financing, Korea for customer financing only). These assets account for more than 85% of financial assets. For other assets, a standard approach based on a simplified methodology is applied.
As the assumptions used are essentially based on observable market data, the calculation of impairment for expected credit losses in the Sales Financing segment also incorporates forward-looking macro-economic data (GDP, long-term rates, etc) to reflect changes in indicators and sector-specific information.
Write-off rules
The gross book value of a financial asset is written off when there are no reasonable expectations of recovery. The asset is derecognized via a loss account, and the associated impairment is reversed when the non-recoverability of receivables is hat become non-recoverable and are derecognized are waivers negotiated with customers (notably as part of a recovery plan), timebarred receivables, receivables concerned by an unfavourable legal judgement (when the outcome of a lawsuit or litigation is negative), and receivables owed by a customer that no longer exists.
2 H. Financial income (expenses)
The cost of net financial indebtedness comprises the cost of gross financial indebtedness less income associated with cash, cash equivalents and financial assets of the Automotive segments. The cost of gross financial indebtedness consists of income and expen portion of the related interest rate hedges.
Other financial income and expenses mainly include foreign exchange gains and losses on financial items and related hedges, the gain or loss caused by exposure to hyperinflation (note 2-E), the net interest on provisions for pensions, and dividends and impairment of companies that are neither controlled nor under significant influence by the Group.
2 I. Income tax
The Group recognizes deferred taxes for all temporary differences between the tax and book values of assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. Deferred taxes are calculated at the latest tax rate enacted at the closing date applicable to the period when temporary differences are reversed. Each individual fiscal entity (legal entity, establishment or group of entities that pays tax to the tax administration) that is authorized to offset its current tax assets and liabilities reports deferred tax assets and liabilities net. Recognition of deferred tax assets depends on the probability of future recovery.
For associates and joint ventures, a deferred tax liability on dividend distributions is booked for all differences between the book value and tax value of shares held.
Tax credits that can only be used against a taxable profit are recorded as a deduction from the income tax payable. Tax credits that are recoverable regardless of whether the company makes a taxable profit are set against the relevant nature of expense.
To determine the provisions for uncertain tax liabilities, the Group uses a case-by-case method based on the most probable value. In view of their qualitative characteristics these provisions are reported on specific lines in the consolidated financial position.
2 J. Goodwill
Non- share in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities transferred (the partial goodwill method). To date Renault has only recognized goodwill valued under the partial goodwill method. The choice of which method to use is made for each individual case.
Goodwill is not amortized, but impairment tests are carried out at least annually or whenever there is evidence of loss of value. After initial recognition, goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment.
Goodwill relating to associates and joint ventures is included in the value of the entities concerned as reported in the assets in the statement of financial position. In the event of impairment, an impairment loss is booked and included in the consolidated income statement via the share in net income (loss) of associates and joint ventures.
Acquisitions of additional investments concerning non-controlling interests in companies controlled by the Group are treated as equity transactions. The positive or negative difference between the cost of acquiring shares and the book value of the non-
2 K. Research and development expenses and other intangible assets
Research and development expenses
Development expenses incurred between the decision to begin development and implement production facilities for a new vehicle or component (e.g. engine or gearbox) and the subsequent approval of the design for mass production are capitalized as intangible assets. They are amortized on a straight-line basis from the date of approval for production, over the expected market life of the vehicle or part, which is initially no longer than seven years. Market lives are regularly reviewed and subsequently adjusted if there is a significant difference from the initial estimate. Capitalized development expenses mainly comprise the cost of prototypes, the cost of studies invoiced by external firms, the cost of personnel assigned to the project and a share of overheads dedicated exclusively to development activities.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the development of a project requiring at least 12 months of preparation before ing costs is limited such that capitalized borrowing costs do not exceed the total borrowing costs borne during the year. When a project is financed through a specific borrowing, the capitalization rate is equal to the interest rate on the borrowing.
Expenses incurred before the decision to begin product development are recorded as costs in the period they are incurred, in the same way as research expenses. Expenses incurred after the start of mass production are treated as production costs.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets comprise patents, leasehold rights, intangible business assets, licences, software, brands and similar rights purchased by the Group. When they have a finite useful life, patents, leasehold rights, licences, brands and similar rights purchased are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of protection stipulated by the contact or the law, or over the useful life if shorter. Intangible business assets and softwares are amortized over their useful life. The useful life of intangible assets is generally between 3 and 5 years. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, such as the Lada brand (note 11-C), are subjected to an impairment test at least once a year and when there is any indication of impairment.
2 L. Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets
The gross value of property, plant and equipment corresponds to historical acquisition or production cost.
The production cost for property, plant and equipment also includes financing costs borne during the construction phase, under the same method as for intangible assets. When a project is financed through a specific borrowing, the capitalization rate is equal to the interest rate on the borrowing.
Investment subsidies received are deducted from the gross value of the assets concerned.
Subsequent expenses for property, plant and equipment, except those incurred to increase productivity or prolong the life of an asset, are charged to expenses as incurred.
Assets leased to customers include vehicles leased for more than one year from a Group finance company with a buy-back commitment by the Group, and vehicles sold under an agreement including a clause for buy-back after a minimum one year of use. Assets leased to customers also include batteries leased to electric vehicle users by Group finance companies (note 2-G).
Right-of-use assets
The following policies are applied in the 2019 financial statements, which comply with the standards applicable at January 1, 2019. The 2018 financial statements were prepared under the previous accounting policies: assets used by the Group under finance leases were treated as assets financed by credit, with recognition of a financial liability (note 23-A).
A contract contains a lease if it gives the lessee the right to use an identified asset for a specified period of time in exchange for payment.
related to the right of use, and a financial liability that represents the lease obligation. The right-of-use asset is amortized over the term of the lease. The lease liability is initially recognized at the present value of lease payments over the expected term of the lease. The discount is unwound using the implicit interest rate of the lease agreement if it can be readily determined, or at the incremental borrowing rate otherwise. As lessee, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate, calculated for each monetary zone as the risk-free rate applicable in the zone, plus In the income statement, amortization of the right-of-use asset is recorded in the operating margin, and a financial expense corresponding to the interest on the lease liability is recorded in financial income and expenses, replacing the lease payments previously charged to the operating margin. The tax impact of this consolidation adjustment is recognized via deferred taxes. In the cash flow statement, cash flows from operating activities are impacted by interest expenses paid, and cash flows from financing activities are impacted by the reimbursed lease liability.
Lease payments on short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are treated as operating expenses and amortized on a straight-line basis.
The term of the lease is the non-cancellable period of a lease contract during which the lessee has the right to use the leased asset, extended by any renewal options the Group is reasonably certain to exercise.
Improvements to leased buildings are depreciated over a duration that is equal to or shorter than the lease term used to estimate the lease liability.
When a lease contract contains a purchase option the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, it is in substance a purchase rather than a lease. The corresponding liability is considered as a financial liability under IFRS 9, and the asset as a tangible asset in compliance with IAS 16.
Provisions for repairs required contractually by lessors are recognized at the start of the lease, with a corresponding tangible asset.
The Group is a party to leases of real estate property (land, concessions, warehouses, offices, etc) and movable property (IT and operating equipment, transport equipment).
Depreciation
In the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment and the Sales Financing segment, depreciation is calculated on a straightline basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Buildings (1) | 15 to 30 years |
|---|---|
| Specific tools | 2 to 7 years |
| Machinery and other tools (other than press lines) | 5 to 15 years |
| Press lines and stamping installations | 20 to 30 years |
| Other tangible assets (2) | 4 to 6 years |
(1) Buildings in use before 1987 are depreciated over a period of up to 40 years.
(2) Except for leased batteries, which are depreciated over periods of 8 to 10 years depending on the models.
Useful lives are regularly reviewed, and accelerated depreciation is recorded when an asset's useful life becomes shorter than the initially expected period of use, particularly when it is decided to withdraw a vehicle or component from the market.
Depreciation for the AVTOVAZ segment is calculated on a straight-line basis over useful lives that may be longer than those used in other Renault Group companies.
2 M. Impairment
Impairment of fixed assets (other than leased assets)
Fixed assets are subjected to impairment tests as soon as there is any indication of a loss of value, such as significant adverse changes in the market in which the company operates, or changes affecting the circumstances and manner of use of the assets.
For the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment, impairment tests are carried out at two levels:
At the level of vehicle-specific assets (including components)
Vehicle-specific assets (including components) consist of capitalized development expenses and tools. Impairment tests are carried out by comparing the net book value of the assets with the recoverable value, calculated based on discounted future cash flows related to the vehicle and its components. These assets may be specific to the model and/or the country of destination.
At the level of cash-generating units
A cash-generating unit is defined as a coherent subset that generates largely independent cash flows. Other cashgenerating units may represent an economic entity (plant or subsidiary) or the whole Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment. Net fixed assets related to cash-generating units notably include goodwill, specific assets and capacity assets, and components of working capital.
For each of the two levels, impairment tests are carried out by comparing the net book value with the recoverable value. Recoverable value is defined as the higher of value in use or fair value less selling costs.
Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the use of an asset. Future cash flows derive from the business plan drawn up and validated by the Management, plus a terminal value based on discounted normative cash flows after application of a growth rate to infinity. They also include the dividends paid by the Sales Financing segment to the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segme contribution as taken into consideration in internal assessments of project profitability. The assumptions underlying the business plan include estimates of market developments in countries in which the Group operates and its share of those markets, changes in the sale price of products and the prices of purchased components and commodities. The pre-tax discount rate used is the weighted average cost of capital as determined by the company.
When the recoverable value is lower than the net book value, impairment equivalent to the difference is recorded against the assets concerned.
For the Sales Financing segment, an impairment test is carried out at least once a year or whenever there is an indication of loss of value, by comparing the book value and recoverable value of assets. Recoverable value is defined as the higher of fair value (less selling costs) and value in use. The value in use is based on a market approach, determined by using multiples for each group of cash-generating units made up of legal entities or groups of legal entities in the same country. The same discount rate is used for all cash-generating units tested: a risk-free 10-year rate increased by the average risk premium for the sector in which the cash-generating units operate. The forecast horizon for income and losses is one year.
For AVTOVAZ, impairment tests are also carried out at two levels (on specific assets and on the whole Group).The AVTOVAZ Group as a whole is considered as one cash-generating unit, and no tests are conducted for individual factories or economic entities.
Impairment of investments in associates and joint ventures
Impairment tests of the value of investments in associates and joint ventures are carried out as soon as there is any indication of a loss of value, essentially significant adverse changes in the markets in which the company operates, or a major or long-term decline in stock market value.
Impairment tests are carried out in compliance with IAS 28 and IAS 36, by comparing the book value of the investment in the associate or joint venture with the recoverable value, which is the higher of value in use and fair value, less selling costs. The value in use is equal to the share of the present value of future estimated cash flows expected by the associate or joint venture. If the associate or joint venture is listed, the fair value is its stock market value.
When the recoverable value is lower than the book value, impairment equivalent to the difference is recorded against the relevant of associates and joint ventures.
2 N. Non-current assets or groups of assets held for sale
Assets held for sale are non-current assets or groups of assets that are available for immediate sale and have a high probability of being sold.
Non-current assets or groups of assets considered to be held for sale are measured and recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value less selling costs. No further amortization is recorded once an asset is classified as held for sale (or included in a group of assets held for sale). These assets are reported on a specific line of the consolidated financial position.
2 O. Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost corresponds to acquisition cost or production cost, which includes direct and indirect production expenses, a share of manufacturing overheads based on a normal level of activity and the results of any related hedges. The normal level of activity is assessed site by site, in order to determine the share of fixed costs to be excluded in the event of below-normal activity.
Inventories of the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment and the Sales Financing segment are valued under the FIFO (First In First Out) method. Inventories of AVTOVAZ are valued at weighted average cost.
When the net realizable value is lower than the financial position value, impairment equal to the difference is recorded.
2 P. Assignment of receivables
Receivables assigned to third parties (through securitization, discounting, or factoring) are removed from Group assets when the associated risks and benefits are also substantially transferred to the third parties in question.
The same treatment applies to assignments between the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) and Sales Financing segments.
2 Q. Treasury shares
Treasury shares are shares held for the purposes of stock option plans, performance share plans and other share-based payment arrangements awarded to Group managers and executives.
When loss on treasury shares is included in the net income for the period.
2 R. Stock option plans / Performance share attribution plans and other share-based payments agreements
The Group awards stock option plans, performance share attribution plans and other share-based payments, all for Renault shares. The grant date is the date at which beneficiaries are informed of the decision to grant these options or performance shares, and the terms of the relevant plans. For plans subject to performance conditions, an estimate of achievement of those conditions is taken into account in determining the number of options or shares attributed. This estimate is reviewed annually based on changes in the probability of performance condition achievement. The final fair value of services rendered in return for attribution of options or shares is measured by reference to the fair value of those options or shares at their grant date, using a suitable binomial mathematical model that assumes exercise of the options is spread over the exercise period on a straight-line basis. Entitlements to attribution of performance shares are valued based on the share value at grant date less dividends expected during the vesting period. Where relevant, a discount is applied to reflect the fact that the shares must be held for a certain period. The share price volatility factor applied is implicit volatility at the grant date. The expected dividend used is determined by reference to the dividend payout schedule announced at the time each plan is valued.
The total fair value calculated in this way is spread on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the relevant plan. The cost is included in personnel expenses, with a corresponding adjustment to consolidated reserves. When the option is exercised, the cash amount received by the Group in settlement of the exercise price is booked in cash and cash equivalents, with a corresponding adjustment to consolidated reserves.
2 S. Pensions and other long-term employee benefit obligations
-contribution benefit plans are recorded as expenses for the relevant period.
For defined-benefit plans concerning post-employment benefits, the Group uses the Projected Unit Credit Method to determine the present value of its obligations. Under this method, benefits are attributed to periods of service according to the plan's benefit formula, principally on a straight-line basis over the years of service.
The future payments for employee benefits are measured on the basis of future salary increases, retirement age, mortality and length of employment with the company, and are discounted at a rate determined by reference to yields on long-term high quality corporate bonds of a duration corresponding to the estimated average duration of the benefit plan concerned.
The actuarial gains and losses resulting from revisions of the underlying assumptions and experience-based adjustments are included in other components of comprehensive income.
The net expense for the year, corresponding to the current period service cost plus the past service cost where relevant, is charged to the operating margin. The interest expense on the net defined-benefit liability (asset) is recorded in the net financial income and expenses.
2 T. Workforce adjustment measures
The estimated cost of workforce adjustment measures, which for accounting purposes is treated as an employee benefit, is covered by a provision over the estimated residual employment period of the employees concerned.
The estimated cost of termination indemnities is recognized as soon as a detailed plan has either been announced or is in progress.
2 U. Financial assets
The Group recognizes a financial asset when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.
Financial assets comprise investments in non-controlled companies in which Renault does not exercise significant influence, marketable securities, negotiable debt instruments, loans, and derivative assets related to financial transactions (note 2-X).
These instruments are presented as non-current assets, apart from those maturing within 12 months of the closing date, which are classified as current assets.
Investments in non-controlled companies in which Renault does not have significant influence
Investments in non-controlled companies in which Renault does not have significant influence are classified as equity instruments at fair value through profit and loss. The fair values of such financial assets are determined in priority by reference to the market price. If this is not possible, the Group uses a valuation method that is not based on market data.
In an exception to this rule, the Group has made an irrevocable option to present the Daimler shares at fair value other components of comprehensive income.
Marketable securities and negotiable debt instruments
Short-term investments in the form of marketable securities and negotiable debt instruments are undertaken for the management of cash surpluses, but do not meet the requirements to qualify as cash equivalents. These are debt instruments carried at fair value through other components of comprehensive income, except for shares in investment funds (UCITS) which are carried at fair value through profit and loss.
Impairment equivalent to expected credit losses is booked upon initial recognition of debt instruments carried at fair value through other components of comprehensive income.
Loans
Loans essentially include loans for investment of cash surpluses and loans to associates.
Loans are carried at amortized cost. Impairment equivalent to expected credit losses is recognized upon initial recognition of the financial asset, and when there is objective evidence of loss of value caused by an event arising after the initial recognition.
2 V. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand, current accounts and other demand deposits, with the exception of bank overdrafts, which are included in financial liabilities. These instruments are stated at amortized cost except for shares in investment funds (UCITS) which are carried at fair value through profit and loss.
Cash equivalents are investments held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments. For an investment to qualify as a cash equivalent, it must be considered as liquid, be readily convertible for a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Bank accounts subject to restrictions due to sector-specific regulations (for example, banking or insurance regulations) or bank accounts allocated to increasing credit on securitized receivables are included in cash and cash equivalents.
2 W. Financial liabilities of the Automotive segments and Sales Financing debts
The Group recognizes a financial liability (for the Automotive segments) or a Sales Financing debt when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.
Financial liabilities and Sales Financing debts comprise redeemable shares, bonds, other debts represented by a certificate, borrowings from credit institutions, lease liabilities in application of IFRS 16 (notes 2-A2 and 2-L), other interest-bearing borrowings and derivative liabilities related to financial transactions (note 2-X).
Redeemable shares are listed subordinated debt instruments that earn a variable return indexed on consolidated revenues. They are carried at amortized cost, determined by discounting forecast coupons using the effective interest rate on borrowings.
Financial liabilities not concerned by specific hedge accounting methods (note 2-X) are generally recorded at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. financial expense calculated in this way includes issuance expenses and issuance or redemption premiums, together with the impact of debt renegotiations when the old and new terms are not substantially different.
2 X. Derivatives and hedge accounting
Measurement and presentation
Derivatives are initially stated at fair value. This fair value is subsequently reviewed at each closing date.
- The fair value of forward exchange contracts and currency swaps is determined by discounting future cash flows, using closing-date market rates (exchange and interest rates).
- The fair value of interest rate derivatives is the amount the Group would receive (or pay) to settle outstanding contracts at the closing date, taking into account interest rates forward curves and the quality of the counterparty to each contract at the closing date. This fair value includes accrued interest.
- The fair value of commodity derivatives is based on market conditions.
The Automotive segment current otherwise. All Sales Financing segment derivatives are reported in the financial position as current.
Hedge accounting
The treatment of derivatives designated as hedging instruments depends on the type of hedging relationship:
- fair value hedge;
- cash flow hedge;
- hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
The Group identifies the hedging instrument and the hedged item as soon as the hedge is set up, and documents the hedging s Financing segment documents micro-hedges relationships, which hedge one or more homogeneous items, and macro-hedges relationships, which hedge several items involving similar types of risk. This documentation is subsequently updated such that the effectiveness of the designated hedge can be demonstrated.
Hedge accounting uses specific measurement and recognition methods for each category of hedge.
- Fair value hedges: the hedged item is adjusted to fair value up to the risk hedged and the hedging instrument is recorded at fair value. As changes in these items are recorded in the income statement simultaneously, only the ineffective portion of the hedge has an impact on net income. It is recorded in the same income statement item as changes in the fair value of the hedged item and the hedging instrument.
- Cash flow hedges: no adjustment is made to the value of the hedged item; only the hedging instrument is adjusted to fair value. Following this adjustment, the effective portion of the change in fair value attributable to the hedged risk is recorded, net of taxes, in other components of comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is included in net income. The impact on net income.
- Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation: the hedging instrument is adjusted to fair value. Following this adjustment, the effective portion of the change in fair value attributable to the hedged exchange risk is recorded, net of taxes, in other components of comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is included in net income. The investment. The interest rate component of borrowings in yen used to hedge the investment in Nissan is considered as the ineffective portion, and is therefore recorded directly in financial income and expenses.
Derivatives not designated as hedges
Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized directly in financial income, except in the case of derivatives entered into exclusively for reasons closely related to business operations. In this case, changes in the fair value of derivatives are included in the operating margin.

The following companies were included in the scope of consolidation for the first time in 2019.
3 A. Automotive (excluding) AVTOVAZ segment
- In March and June 2019, Renault s.a.s. took a 15% stake in new electricity storage companies Tokay 1 and Tokay 2, which have 5 . 3 million respectively. As the Group has significant influence over Tokay 1 and Tokay 2, they are accounted for by the equity method in the consolidated financial statements.
- In June 2019, Renault s.a.s., in partnership with the Nissan group, set up the joint ventures Alliance Mobility Company France and Alliance Mobility Company Japan, which are dedicated to driverless mobility services. The Group holds 50% of the capital of each of these entities, which amounted 2019. Both entities undertook capital increases subscribed in equal shares by Renault and Nissan during the second half-year of 2019 51.6 million and 4,901 million yen respectively. These two joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method in the consolidated financial statements.
- In July 2019, Renault s.a.s. acquired an investment in the Chinese company JMEV Jiangxi Jiangling Group Electric Vehicle Co. Ltd and committed to participate, subject to conditions, in a capital increase of up to RMB 1 billion, after which the Group will own 50% of JMEV. Renault holds the majority on the Board of Directors, with 4 of the total 7 directors, and key decisions for control analysis purposes are taken by a simple majority. This takeover reinforces the ctor on the Chinese market. The terms and amount of the capital increases are still in negotiation with the Chinese partner, and a first capital increase is expected to take place in 2020. Due to the fact that the Group has effective control, after analysis of the substance of this acquisition JMEV and its liabilities transferred as required by IFRS 10, with a three-month time lag in accounting data. The accounts of JMEV and its subsidiaries included in the consolidation are for the period July 16 to September 30, 2019. The costs of this takeover are not significant at December 31, 2019 and are recorded in other operating expenses. The assets acquired and liabilities transferred are recorded at December 31, 2019 at their book value in the financial statements of JMEV and its principal subsidiary, JMEVS. No contingent liabilities or translation adjustments have been recognized at this stage. The goodwill stated in the financial statements at December 31, 2019 is thus provisional and the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities transferred will be determined within 12 months.

- In December 2019, the Group set up the new entity Renault M.A.I. (Mobility As an Industry) to accelerate development in new million. As of December 31, 2019 it holds the investments in Flit Tech (a taxi reservation platform), iCabbi (software development for taxis) and Marcel (a private car hire app) which were previously held by RCI Banque.
- The Group has finalized determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities transferred from Les Éditions Croque Futur, in which it acquired a 40.26% investment in March 2018. This company operates in the written press sector, notably owning the magazine titles Challenges, Historia, Sciences et Avenir, Histoire and La Recherche. Les Éditions Croque Futur, over which the Group has significant influence, is accounted for by the equity method. The principal adjustments concern the magazine million (on a 100% basis), and subscriber million. In July 2019, after a capital increase to which the Group did not subscribe, its investment was reduced to 35.11%.
- The Group has finalized determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities transferred from Carizy, in which it acquired a 96.08% investment in June 2018. Carizy operates in the expert advice and intermediation sector for used vehicles, notably owning the website Carizy.com. It is fully consolidated. The main adjustment concerns the brand,
3 - B. AVTOVAZ
Alliance Rostec Auto b.v. At December 31, 2018, Renault held 61.09% of the capital of Alliance Rostec Auto b.v., which held 100% of AVTOVAZ. The percentage ownership applied in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2018 was 67.61% including the capital 28, 2018 and signed by Renault s.a.s.. The impact of these oper equity parent- -
The value of the non- 83 million at December 31, 2018).
- In July 2019, AVTOVAZ sold AO Smolensk-LADA and AO Dal-Lada. The million.
- In December 2019 PAO AVTOVAZ acquired a further 50% interest in addition to its initial 50% shareholding in ZAO GM- 5.9 million. ZAO GM-AVTOVAZ and its subsidiary JVS were previously accounted for by the equity method in the Renault group consolidation. Among other consequences, the takeover entails ownership of the right to use the NIVA brand. Control was acquired on December 16, 2019. As the impact of these entities on net income and changes in cash between December 16 and 31, 2019 are non-significant, full consolidation is applied from December 31, 2019.
The fair value of the consideration paid at the acquisition date breaks down as follows:
- o 5.9 million (411 million roubles) corresponding to the previous investment. This valuation has led to recognition of a loss on the sale of the previously- (7.3) million, recorded in other operating expenses.
- o 5.9 million in cash (411 million roubles).
The costs of the takeover recorded in other operating expenses are not significant.
Determination of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities transferred will take place within 12 months. The assets acquired and liabilities transferred were recorded at their book value in the accounts of ZAO GM-AVTOVAZ, established under US GAAP and restated under IFRS at December 31, 2019.
A breakdown of the net assets acquired is shown in the following table:

NOTE 11 IMPAIRMENT TESTS ON FIXED ASSETS (OTHER THAN LEASED ASSETS)
The Group carried out impairment tests on its fixed assets under the approach described in the section on accounting policies (note 2-M).
11 A. Impairment tests on vehicle-specific assets (including components)
million for property, plant and equipment (impairment million for property, plant and equipment). This impairment was allocated in priority to capitalized development expenses. It mainly concerns vehicles made for the Chinese market, in view of the lower sales volumes and the downward revision of the prospects for those assets.
Impairment for intangibles and property, plant and equipment was recognized in 2013 in respect of electric vehicles. As the market for electric vehicles grew substantially in 2018 and that trend was confirmed in million was reversed million million for property, plant and equipment).
11 B. Impairment tests of country-specific assets or cash-generating units of the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment
Argentina, China and other countries:
In 2018, the cash-generating unit corresponding to Argentina was subjected to an impairment test following the application of hyperinflationary accounting, and in view of the recession on the local automobile market in the second half-year.
An analysis of specific assets dedicated to the Chinese market (in the second half-year of 2019), the Turkish market (in the second half-year of 2018) and the Iranian market was also conducted following the significant decline in automobile sales in China -C).
The tests performed in 2018 for the Argentina cash-generating unit led to recognition of impairment on its assets amounting to million at December 31, 2018 (i.e. the total value of the industrial assets). No impairment was booked at January 1, 2018.
The test conducted in 2019 on specific assets dedicated to the Chinese market led to recognition of impairment as described in note 11-A above, and impairment on investments in joint ventures operating on the Chinese market (see note 13).
In 2018, no impairment was recognized on intangibles and property, plant and equipment dedicated to the Iranian and Turkish markets as a result of the impairment tests conducted.
Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment:
The recoverable value used for the purpose of impairment tests for the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment is the value in use, determined under the discounted future cash flow method on the basis of the following assumptions:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Growth rate to infinity | 1.7% | 1.9% |
| After-tax discount rate | 8.5% | 8.7% |
The assumptions used for impairment testing at December 31, 2019 are taken from the six-year strategic plan, Drive the Future 2017-2022, which was announced in October 2017. These assumptions were updated using data from the 2020 budget and ffected by adverse market conditions. The revision of the strategic plan, which was still in process at the year-end, will be finalized during 2020.
In 2019 as in 2018, no impairment was recognized on assets included in the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment as a result of the impairment test.
A reasonably possible change in the main assumptions used should not result in a recoverable value that is lower than the book value of the assets tested.
11 C. Impairment tests on the AVTOVAZ cash-generating unit and the Lada brand
Impairment tests of the AVTOVAZ cash-generating unit
AVTOVAZ was delisted from the Moscow stock exchange in May 2019, and consequently reference is no longer made to its market capitalization to assess the recoverable value of its net assets (including goodwill).
In application of the approach presented in the note on accounting policies (note 2-M to the consolidated financial statements for 2018), an impairment test was conducted at June 30, 2019 but no impairment was recognized at that date as a result. A further test was conducted at December 31, 2019 due to the decline of the Russian market. The annual impairment test will now be conducted at 31 December every year.
For the impairment test of the AVTOVAZ cash-generating unit, an after-tax discount rate of 14% and a growth rate to infinity (including the effect of inflation) of 4% were used to calculate value in use.
The test results did not lead to recognition of any impairment at December 31, 2019. A reasonably possible change in the key assumptions used should not result in a recoverable value that is below book values.
Impairment tests of the Lada brand
For the purpose of allocation of the purchase price of AVTOVAZ, the Lada brand was recognized at its fair value at the date control was acquired (in late 2016), i.e. 9,248 million Russian 132 million at the exchange rate of December 31, 2019). Since this brand is an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, an impairment test was carried out at December 31, 2019 based on a discount rate of 14% and a growth rate to infinity of 4%. No impairment was booked in 2019, as the recoverable value was higher than the book value.
A reasonably possible change in the key assumptions used should not result in a recoverable value that is below the book value.
The annual impairment test will now be conducted at 31 December every year

12 A. Nissan consolidation method
Renault and the Japanese automaker Nissan have developed an alliance between two distinct companies with common interests, uniting forces to achieve optimum performance. The Alliance is organized so as to preserve individual brand identities and respect

- The terms of the Renault-Nissan agreements do not entitle Renault to appoint the majority of Nissan directors, nor to hold of Nissan.
- In March 2019, Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi announced the creation of the new Alliance Board, a supervisory body to oversee Alliance operations and governance involving Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi. This Board has four members: The Chairman of the Board of Renault, the Chief Executive Officer of Renault, the Chief Executive Officer of Nissan and the Chief Executive Officer of Mitsubishi Motors. Decisions are taken by consensus. In November 2019, the Board added the post of Alliance General Secretary, who reports to the Alliance Board and the CEOs of the three alliance companies.
- Jean-Dominique Senard, Chairman of the Renault Board. The appointment of Pierre Fleuriot to replace Thierry Bolloré Fleuriot is the senior independent director in the Renault Group.

The Sales Financing segment has undertaken several public securitization operations and several conduit financing operations (in Germany, Brazil, France, the United Kingdom and Italy) involving loans to final customers and receivables on the dealership network. Both types of operation are conducted through special purpose vehicles. Some public operations were subscribed by RCI Banque, which makes it possible to have securities eligible as collateral for the European Central Bank.
The receivables assigned through such operations are not derecognized, as all risks are retained by the Group. The associated liabilities correspond to securities resulting from the securitization operations, and are recognized in other debts represented by a certificate.
The difference between the receivables assigned and the amount of the associated liabilities corresponds to the higher credit necessary for these operations, and the share of securities retained by RCI Banque to form a liquidity reserve.
Securitized assets can no longer be assigned or pledged. Subscribers to debt securities only have claims on the assets assigned.
B2 Assets pledged as guarantees for management of the liquidity reserve
For management of its liquidity reserve, the Sales Financing segment has provided guarantees to the Banque de France (under Gestion Globale des Garanties) in the form of assets with book value of 5,882 million at December 31, 2019 7,454 million at December 31, 2018 5,325 million in the 151 million in euro bond 406 6,184 million 59 11 million in sales financing receivables at December 31, 2018).

15 E. Exposure of sales financing to credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk for the Sales Financing activity is represented by the net book value of sales financing receivables plus the amount of irrevocable financing commitments for customers reported under off-balance sheet commitments given (note 28-A). This risk is reduced by guarantees provided by customers, as reported in off-balance sheet commitments received (note 28-B). In particular, guarantees held in connection with overdue or impaired sales financing receivables amounted 821 million at December 31, 2019 78 million at December 31, 2018).
Customer credit risk is assessed (using a scoring system) and monitored by type of activity (customers and dealers). There is no indication at the year-end that the quality of sales financing receivables not yet due or unimpaired has been adversely affected, nor is there any significant concentration of risks within the sales financing customer base as defined by the regulations.

(1) The Group has granted to minority shareholders in these companies put options to sell their investments. A liability corresponding to these put 144 m 7 million for the Argentinian subsidiary at December 31, 2019 27 13 million respectively at December 31, 2018 allocated in priority to the non- rentliability is stated at fair value. Fair value is determined by estimating the potential purchase price, taking into account future results of the financing portfolio as it exists at the closing date and the provisions of the partnership contracts. This is a level 3 fair value, as it uses recognized models but their significant data are not based on observable market data.
New partnership agreements were signed in 2018 with Oyak in Turkey, including perfectly symmetrical put and call options for non- Renault (call) and to sell its shares in Mais (put), and entitling Oyak to sell its shares in Oyak Renault (p (call). The exercise price for the put option, if exercised, will be determined by three independent experts who would be appointed at the exercise date.
Analysis of the contracts did not identify any circumstances exercised without Renault SA being able to object. Consequently, no liability is recognized at December 31, 2019 in connection with these options.
There are no significant restrictions restrictions that result from the regulatory framework in which the subsidiaries operate. The local supervisory authorities may require banking subsidiaries to keep a certain level of capital and liquidities, limit their exposure to other group parties, and comply with other ratios.
NOTE 19 PROVISIONS FOR PENSIONS AND OTHER LONG-TERM EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
19 A. Pension and benefit plans
Pensions and other long-term employee benefit obligations essentially concern active employees. These benefits are covered either by defined-contribution plans or defined-benefit plans.
Defined-contribution plans
The Group makes earnings-related payments, in accordance with local custom, to the national organizations responsible for paying pensions and similar financial benefits. There is no actuarial liability concerning these pension arrangements.
The total expense for defined-contribution plans was 603 million in 2019 588 million in 2018).
Defined-benefit plans
The accounting treatment of defined-benefit plans is described in note 2-S, and involves establishment of provisions. These plans concern:
- indemnities payable upon retirement or departure, in application of legislation or agreements in certain countries such as France and Turkey;
- supplementary pensions providing employees with contractual income; the countries applying this type of plan are in Europe (e.g. the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland);
- other long-term benefits, chiefly long-service awards and flexible holiday entitlements.
Defined-benefit supplementary pension plans are generally covered by contracts with pension funds or insurance companies. In such cases, the obligations and assets are valued separately. The difference between the obligation and the fair value of the assets held to fund it may indicate underfunding or overfunding. In the event of underfunding, a provision is booked. In the event of overfunding, an asset is recognized subject to certain conditions.
Principal defined-benefit plans of the Group
employment at the time of retirement. Retirement benefit obligations for France are entirely covered by provisions, and account
is in the United Kingdom, where two defined-benefit pension plans are managed as part of a dedicated pension fund comprising two compartments: one concerns Automotive subsidiaries (excluding AVTOVAZ) and the other RCI Financial Services Ltd, together covering approximately 1,780 people. This plan has been closed to new members since 2004, and no further rights can be earned under it after December 31, 2019. All employees benefit from a defined-contribution pension plan from January 1, 2020.
This pension fund (a trust) is a legal entity in its own right. It is administered by a board of Trustees with equal representation for the participating companies and their current and former employees. The fund is governed by local regulations, which set the minimum funding requirements that can lead to additional contributions being made by the Group. The asset investment policy is defined for each section of the fund by a supervisory body which examines the performance of investments quarterly. The risks associated with these plans are the usual risks (lower future returns on fund assets, a decline in the equities markets, longer life expectancy for beneficiaries, a rise in inflation, etc).
The fund compartment dedicated to the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment is underfunded and the Group has made a commitment to cover the shortfall by 2027 through payments amounting to £5 million maximum per year. Underfunding at December 31, 2019 is valued at £44 million for the fund compartment dedicated to the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment, and £11 million for the fund compartment dedicated to RCI Financial Services Ltd.
-benefit plans
-697 of July 3, 2019 reforming supplementary defined-benefit pension plans in -benefit top-up pension plan that was set up in France in late 2004, entailing the loss of the corresponding rights for plan members still working. This plan was open to members Committee, with payment of the related pension conditional on holding an executive position with the Group at the time of retirement.

NOTE 24 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS BY CATEGORY, FAIR VALUE AND IMPACT ON NET INCOME
24 A. Financial instruments by category and fair value by level
IFRS 9, which is applicable from 2018,defines three categories of financial instruments:
- financial assets at fair value through other components of comprehensive income;
- financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
- loans and receivables carried at amortized cost.
The following breakdown by level of fair value is presented for financial instruments carried in the balance sheet at fair value;
- level 1: instruments whose fair values are derived from quoted prices in an active market; fair value is generally identical to the most recent quoted price;
- level 2: instruments whose fair values are derived from observable market prices and are not included in level 1;
- level 3: instruments whose fair values are derived from unobservable inputs on the market; the fair value of investments in non-controlled entities is generally based on the share of net assets.
Fair values have been determined on the basis of information available at the end of the year and do not therefore take account of subsequent movements.
In 2019, no financial instruments were transferred between Level 1 and Level 2, or into or out of Level 3.

(1) The fair value of sales financing receivables is estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates that would be applicable to similar loans (conditions, maturity and debtor quality) at the year-end. Receivables with a term of less than one year are not discounted, as their fair value does not differ significantly from their net book value. This is a level 3 fair value, as it uses recognized models for which certain significant data, such as the credit risk associated with the portfolio of receivables, are not based on observable market data.
(2) The Group does not report the fair value of financial assets such as Automotive customer receivables, tax receivables or cash and cash equivalents because their net book value after impairment is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

reports the lease liabilities of the Automotive and Sales Financing segments.
(2) The Group does not report the fair value of financial liabilities such as trade payables, tax liabilities and social liabilities, because their book value is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.
(3) The fair value of Renault redeemable shares is identical to the stock market price.
(4) The fair amortized cost is essentially determined by discounting future cash flows at rates offered to Renault at December 31, 2019 for loans with similar conditions and maturities. The rates offered to Renault result from observable market data such as zero-coupon interest rate curves and secondary market prices for bonds issued by the Group, and consequently this is a level 2 fair value. The fair value of AVTOVAZ financial liabilities measured at amortized cost is determined by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for borrowings with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The discount rate used to estimate the fair value of AVTOVAZ long term borrowings was 11% at December 31, 2019.
24 B. Changes in Level 3 financial instruments
Level 3 financial instruments mainly correspond to investments in non-controlled 66 million at December 31, 2019 and 98 million at December 31, 2018). In an exception to the general approach, these instruments are still carried at historical cost, but if this is inappropriate they are valued on the basis of the share of net equity or using a method based on non-observable data.

Framework agreements for operations on financial futures and similar agreements
The Group negotiates its derivatives contracts in accordance with the framework agreements issued by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and the FBF (Fédération Bancaire Française).
In the event of default, the non-defaulting party has the right to suspend execution of its payment obligations and to demand payment or transfer of a termination balance for all terminated transactions.
The ISDA and FBF framework agreements do not meet the requirements for netting in the financial statements. The Group currently has no legally enforceable right to net the reported amounts, except in the case of default or a credit event.

25 B. Management of financial risks of the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) and Sales Financing segments
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) and Sales Financing segments are exposed to the following financial risks:
- Liquidity risks
- Market risks (foreign exchange, interest rate, equity and commodity risks)
- Counterparty and credit risks
B1 Liquidity risks
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) and Sales Financing segments are financed via the capital markets, through:
- long-term resources (bond issues, private placements, project financing, term deposits, etc);
- short-term bank loans or commercial paper issues and sight deposits;
- securitization of receivables by Sales Financing.
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment needs sufficient financial resources to finance its day-to-day business and the investments necessary for future growth. It therefore regularly borrows on the banking and capital markets to refinance its gross debt for the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment, and this exposes it to liquidity risks in the event of extended market closures or tensions over credit availability.
As part of its centralized cash management policy, Renault SA handles most refinancing for the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment through long-term resources via the capital markets (bond issues and private placements), short-term financing such as NEU CP (Negotiable European Commercial Paper), or financing via the banking sector or public or semi-public bodies.
Medium-term refinancing for the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment in 2019 was mostly provided by bond issues. Renault SA issued two bonds under its EMTN program: two Eurobonds, one with a nominal value of billion issued on June 24, 2019 with 6-year maturity and a coupon of 1.25%, and the other with a nominal value of million issued on October 4, 2019 with 8-year maturity and a 1.125% coupon.
The contractual documentation for this financing contains no clause that could affect the continued supply of credit in the event ket financing, contain standard clauses (pari passu, negative pledge and cross-default clauses).
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) at various times up to 2024. None of these credit lines was drawn at December 31, 2019. These confirmed credit facilities form a liquidity reserve.
The contractual documentation for these confirmed bank credit facilities contains no clause that might adversely affect credit

Confirmed credit lines unused are described in note 23-C.
The Sales Financing segment is very attentive to diversification of its sources of liquidity. In recent years Renault has diversified its sources of financing widely, moving into new distribution zones in addition to its longstanding base of Euro bond investors.
the recommendations of the European Banking Authority for an Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP). It uses several indicators and analyzes (static liquidity, liquidity reserve, several stress on a monthly basis. The stress scenarios include assumptions concerning the deposit leak, loss of access to new financing, partial unavailability of certain elements of the liquidity reserve and forecasts for issuance of new credit. The stressed assumptions for deposit leaks are very conservative and are regularly backtested.
In 2019 2.9 billion in public bonds. The Group successively issued a fixed-rate million 5.5-year bond, a dual-tranche .4 billion bond (4-year fixed- 750 million, and 7-year fixed-rate million), and a 3.5-year fixed-rate million bond. In parallel, the company issued a CHF170 million fixed-rate 5-year bond, which both diversified its investor base and financed assets in that currency.
RCI Banque also made an issue on the subordinated bank debt million 10.25-year subordinated Tier 2 bond callable after 5.25 Years.
On the secured refinancing segment, RCI Banque undertook a public securitization transaction backed by automotive loans in Germany, totaling 950 million of senior instruments 25.7 million of subordinated instruments.
The alternation of different maturities and issue formats is part of the Sales Financing diversification strategy for financing sources. This policy has been followed for several years, and enables the segment to reach the maximum number of investors.

With these resources, as well as resources held in Euro 5 billion in undrawn confirmed credit lines with banks, 5 2.2 billion of highly liquid assets (HQLA), and short-term financial assets amounting to 0.5 billion, RCI Banque is able to fund its customer financing for more than 12 months with no access to external resources.
Confirmed credit lines open but unused are described in note 23-C.
B2 Foreign exchange risks
Management of foreign exchange risks
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment is exposed to foreign exchange risks in the course of its industrial and commercial business. These risks are monitored and centralized by Renault Financing and Treasury department.
It is policy not to hedge future operating cash flows in foreign currencies, although exceptions may be made. As a result, exchange rates. Any hedges of such risks require formal authorization from the Finance department or General Management, and the results of these hedges are then reported to the General Management. In view of the uncertainty generated by Brexit over the Euro-sterling exchange rate, in November 2019 the Group set up a hedge of future operating cash flows in sterling in 2020.
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) investment flows in foreign currencies, to avoid any exchange related distortion of the financial result. All the Automotive exposures to foreign exchange risks on financial result items are aggregated and monitored by the central Cash Management team, with monthly reporting to the Chief Financial Officer. Financing flows in foreign currency originating from Renault entities are hedged in the same currency. If a subsidiary needs external financing in a currency other than the local currency, the parent-company monitors the operations closely. Cash surpluses in countries that are not part of the parentcentral Cash management department.
Equity investments (in currencies other than the euro) are not generally hedged. However, due to its importance, the investment in Nissan is subject to a partial foreign exchange hedge amounting to 84 billion yen at December 31, 2019 (note 12-G). To limit liquidity risks in yen, the Group has set itself the rule of not hedging the net investment above an amount equal to its best estimate of the
The subsidiary Renault Finance can undertake foreign exchange operations on its own behalf, within strictly defined risk limits. Its foreign exchange positions are monitored and valued in re expertise on the financial markets. It generates very short exposures and does not exceed some tens of millions of euros, and dated results.
The Sales Financing segment has low exposure to foreign exchange risks due to the management principles applied. No position can be taken under the central management framework for refinancing; the trading room hedges all flows concerned. Residual, temporal positions in foreign currencies related to the time differences in cash flow inherent to multi-currency cash management may still remain. They are monitored daily and the same hedging policy applies. The sales financing subsidiaries are obliged to obtain refinancing in their own currency and as a result are not exposed. In exceptional circumstances, limits are assigned to subsidiaries where sales financing activities or refinancing take place in several different currencies, and to subsidiaries authorized to invest some of their cash surpluses in a currency other than their local currency.
At December 31, 2019 6.3 million.
In preparation for the consequences of Brexit, all the activities of RCI Bank UK Branch were transferred from March 14, 2019 to a new entity, the credit institution RCI Services UK Limited, which is a fully-owned subsidiary of RCI Banque SA.
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) and Sales Financing segments made no major changes to their foreign exchange risk management policy in 2019.

Analys
- Virtually all loans to customers by sales financing subsidiaries bear interest at a fixed rate and have terms from one to 72 months. These loans are hedged by fixed-rate resources with the same structure. They are covered by macrohedging and only generate a residual interest rate risk. In subsidiaries where the financing bears interest at a floating rate, the interest rate risk is hedged by macro-hedging using interest rate swaps.
commercial subsidiaries. The outstanding credit issued by sales financing subsidiaries is backed by fixed-interest resources, some of which are micro-hedged by interest rate swaps, and floating-rate resources. Macro-hedging transactions in the form of interest rate swaps keep the sensitivity of the refinancing holding company below the defined limit.

Finally, Renault Finance carries out interest rate transactions on its own behalf, within strictly defined risk limits, and positions are monitored and valued in real time. The risk associated with this arbitrage activity is very limited, and has no significant impact on
Interest rate hedging instruments for the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment are standard interest swaps that are adequately covered by hedged liabilities, such that no ineffectiveness is expected.
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) and Sales Financing segments made no major changes to their interest rate risk management policy in 2019.
Analysis
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) and Sales Financing segments are exposed to the following interest rate risks:
- variations in the interest flows on floating-rate financial instruments stated at amortized cost (including fixed-rate instruments swapped to floating rate, and structured products);
- variations in the fair value of the fixed-rate financial instruments stated at fair value;
- variations in the fair value of derivatives.
Impacts are estimated by applying a 100 base point rise in interest rates over a one-year period to financial instruments reported in the closing statement of financial position.
For the Sales Financing segment, t before reclassification in profit or loss (section 4.2.2) of fixed rate debt instruments classified as financial assets at fair value through other components of comprehensive income and cash flow hedges after a 100 base point rise in interest rates. All other impacts affect net income.
For the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) base point rise in interest rates applied to financial instruments exposed to interest rate risks would be a positive 102.1 million and 0.2 million respectively at December 31, 2019.
For the Sales Financing segment, the overall sensitivity to interest rate risks in 2019 remained below the limit set by the RCI million at December 31). At December 31, 2019, a 100 point base point rise in interest rates would have the :

B4 Equity risks
Management of equity risks
The exposure of the Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment and the Sales Financing segment to equity risks essentially concerns the Daimler shares acquired in connection with the cooperation agreements, and marketable securities indexed to share prices. These two segments do not use equity derivatives to hedge these risks.
The Automotive (excluding AVTOVAZ) segment and the Sales Financing segment made no major changes to their equity risk management policy in 2019.
Analys

B5 Commodity risks
Management of commodity risks
Commodity purchase prices can change suddenly and significantly, and cannot necessarily be passed through on vehicle sale nancial instruments. These hedges are subject to volume, duration and price limits.
In 2019 Renault undertook hedging operations on base metals and precious metals, within the limits validated by the Chairman and CEO of Renault SA for a temporary period.
The operations in progress at December 31, 2019 are classified for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges, and accordingly changes in their fair value are included in other components of comprehensive income to the extent of the effective portion of the hedges.

B6 Counterparty and credit risks
Credit risk on Automotive receivables
many receivables leading to their deconsolidation, and systematic hedging of risks on export receivables. Non-assigned sales receivables and receivables covered by guarantee are regularly monitored.
Credit risk on receivables and commitments given by the Sales Financing segment
Credit risk relating to customers is assessed by a scoring system and monitored by type of activity (customers and dealers). Various internal rating systems are currently in use in the Sales Financing segment:
- s each phase of relations with the borrower (initial acceptance, risk monitoring, provisioning),
- A Group rating for bank counterparties founded on external rating and equity level,
- involved.
RCI Banque is constantly adjusting its acceptance policy to reflect the conditions of the economic environment.
The Group has detailed management procedures, notably covering collection of outstanding payments, with local versions in all the countries where they apply.
Counterparty risk on other financial assets
All entities of the Automotive and Sales Financing segments use a fully-coordinated counterparty risk management procedure -term credit rating and equity level. For each of these entities with significant exposure, compliance with authorized limits is monitored on a daily basis under strict internal control procedures.
The Group produces a consolidated monthly report covering all its bank counterparties, organized by credit rating. This report provides a detailed analysis of compliance with limits in terms of amount, maturity and type, as well as a list of the main exposures.
Most deposits are contracted with large network banks and generally have terms shorter than 90 days, as this allows a good spread of the risk and lowers the systemic risk.
In the event of volatile macroeconomic situations that may arise in emergent countries and potentially affect their banking systems, the Group introduces an action plan to step up counterparty risk monitoring, and makes adjustments to the counterparty limits if necessary.
The exposure on each banking group is assessed monthly on a consolidated basis, with the Automotive and Sales Financing entities. The Group is not subject to any significant risk concentration for its operations on the financial and banking markets.
No losses due to default by a banking counterparty were recorded in 2019.

A2 Contingent liabilities
Group companies are periodically subject to tax inspections in the countries in which they operate. Accepted tax adjustments are recorded as provisions in the financial statements. Contested tax adjustments are recognized on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the risk that the proceedings or appeals undertaken may be unsuccessful. Tax liabilities are recognized via provisions when there are uncertainties over the determination of taxes.
Under a customs agreement between Brazil and Argentina for the automotive industry, which was introduced in 2008 and amended in June 2016, imports of vehicles and spare parts for the Argentinean automotive sector are exempt from customs duties as long as the average ratio of imports to exports with Brazil is below 1.5 over the period July 2015 to June 2020 (this ratio could be raised to 1.7 from June 30, 2019). The amount of customs duties potentially due retroactively may be up to 75% of the customs duties on cars and 70% of the customs duties on spare parts in excess of the ratio, using a calculation that covers the entire automotive sector.
This agreement was again amended in September and December 2019: the ratio for the period July 2015 to June 2020 was raised from 1.5 to 1.7, and higher ratios were set for later periods up to June 30, 2029.
The ratio for the sector as a whole was below 1.7 for the period July 1, 2015 to November 30, 2019, and consequently no provision has been recognized by the Group.
Disposals of subsidiaries or businesses by the Group generally include representations and warranties in the buyer's favour. At December 31, 2019, the Group had not identified any significant risk in connection with these operations.
Following partial sales of subsidiaries in previous years, Renault holds put options covering some or all of the residual investment idated financial statements.
Group companies are periodically subject to investigations by the authorities in the countries in which they operate. When the resulting financial consequences are accepted, they are recognized in the financial statements via provisions. When they are contested, they are recognized on a case-by-case basis, based on estimates that take into account the risk that the proceedings or appeals undertaken may be unsuccessful.
The main investigations by the competition and automotive regulations authorities in progress at December 31, 2019 concern illegal agreements and the level of vehicle emissions in Europe.
On January 9, 2019 the Italian Competition Authority (Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato) fined RCI Banque million, and Renault SA is jointly liable for payment of the fine. The Group is contesting the grounds for this fine and intends to appeal against the decision. Renault considers that the probability of the decision being cancelled or fundamentally amended by a court order is high. Due to the large number of variables affecting the amount of the fine, if upheld, it is impossible to reliably estimate the amount that could be payable at the end of the proceedings. No provision was recognized in connection with this matter at December 31, 2019. On April 3, 2019 application for suspension of the payment was accepted, with arrangement of a bank guarantee. The next court hearing is scheduled for February 26, 2020.
is aware that a formal legal investigation was opened on January 12, 2017 at the request of the Paris public prosecution office. This stage in the procedure was seen as an indication that the French prosecution office wished to pursue this matter. No provision was recognized at December 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
Beginning in March 2016, Renault decided to roll out a plan to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by its Euro 6b vehicles by es manufactured before this decision. A step-up in this plan was decided in October 2017, leading to recognition of an additional December 31, 2019 the 8 23 million at December 31, 2018).
Group companies are also subject to the applicable regulations regarding pollution, notably of soil and ground water. These regulations vary depending on the country of location. Some of the associated environmental liabilities are potential and will only be recognized in the accounts if the activity is discontinued or the site closed. It is also sometimes difficult to determine the amount of the obligation reliably. Provisions are only established for liabilities that correspond to a legal or constructive obligation at the closing date, and can be estimated with reasonable reliability.
