The Group has a strategic footprint of manufacturing facilities located in the United States, Europe and China, operates 21 production facilities, 9 administrative and commercial sites and one world-class technology center. It has more than 11,000 employees.
Constellium is a public company with limited liability. The business address (head office) of Constellium N.V. is Tupolevlaan41-61, 1119 NW Schiphol-Rijk, the Netherlands.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, when we refer to “we”, “our”, “us”, “Constellium”, the “Group” and the “Company” in this document, we are referring to Constellium N.V. and its subsidiaries.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements of Constellium N.V. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the European Union (EU). The Group’s application of IFRS results in no difference between IFRS as issued by the IASB and IFRS as endorsed by the EU (http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_en.htm).
The consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2017.
2.2. Application of new and revised IFRS
The following new standards and amendments apply to the Group for the first time in 2016.
| • | | Annual improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle |
| • | | Amendments to IAS 1, ‘Disclosure Initiative’ |
| • | | Amendments to IFRS 11, ‘Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations’ |
| • | | Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38, ‘Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization’ |
| • | | Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, ‘Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture’ |
They do not have any significant impact on the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group.
2.3. New standards and interpretations not yet mandatorily applicable
The Group has not applied the following new, revised and amended standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective and which could affect the Group’s future consolidated financial statements.
The impact of the following standards and interpretations on the Group’s results and financial situation is currently being evaluated.
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ and its clarifications deal with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18, ‘Revenue’ and IAS 11, ‘Construction contracts and related interpretations’. The clarifications provide guidance on identifying performance obligations, the principal versus agent assessment, accounting for licenses of intellectual property, and transition to the new revenue standard.
The standard and its clarifications will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
IFRS 16, ‘Leases’ deals with principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of leases. The standard provides an accounting model, requiring lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. The lessor accounting approach remains unchanged. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The Group expects that the adoption will result in an increase to non-current assets and non-current liabilities as a result of substantially all operating leases existing as of the adoption date being capitalized along with the associated obligations.
-7-
The standard will replace IAS 17, ‘Lease’ and will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019.
IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It will replace the guidance in IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments’ that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments.
Modifications introduced by IFRS 9 relate primarily to:
| • | | Classification and measurement of financial assets. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. |
| • | | Impairment of receivables, now based on the expected credit loss model. |
The standard will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Amendments to IAS 7, ‘Disclosure Initiative’
The amendments to IAS 7, ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ are part of the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative and require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.
The amendments to IAS 7 will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
IFRIC 22: ‘Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration’
This interpretation indicates how to determine the date of the transaction when applying the standard on foreign currency transactions, IAS 21. The Interpretation applies where an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency-denominated contracts.
The date of the transaction determines the exchange rate to be used on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income.
The Interpretation provides guidance for when a single payment/receipt is made, as well as for situations where multiple payments/receipts are made. It states that the date of the transaction, for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related item, should be the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or liability arising from the advance consideration. If there are multiple payments or receipts in advance of recognizing the related item, the entity should determine the date of the transaction for each payment or receipt.
The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
The following amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 12, ‘Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses’
The amendments clarify that an entity needs to consider whether tax law restricts the sources of taxable profits against which it may make deductions on the reversal of that deductible difference. Furthermore, the amendments provide guidance on how an entity should determine future taxable profits and explains in which circumstances taxable profit may include the recovery of some assets for more than their carrying amount.
These amendments will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017.
Amendments to IFRS 2, ‘Classification and Measurement of Share-Based Payment Transactions’
The amendments clarify the measurement basis for cash-settled, share-based payments and the accounting for modifications that change an award from cash-settled to equity-settled. They also introduce an exception to the principles in IFRS 2 that will require an award to be treated as if it was wholly equity-settled, where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee’s tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority.
These amendments will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Annual improvements 2014-2016
The latest annual improvements clarify:
| • | | IFRS 1, ‘First time adoption of IFRS’: Retirement of short-term exemptions |
The amendments deletes short-term exemptions covering transition provisions of IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments – Disclosures’, IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’, and IFRS 10 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’. These transition provisions were available to entities for passed reporting periods and are therefore no longer applicable.
| • | | IFRS 12, ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’: Clarifying the scope |
The amendment clarifies that the disclosures requirement of IFRS 12 are applicable to interest in entities classified as held for sale except for summarized financial information. Previously, it was unclear whether all other IFRS 12 requirements were applicable for these interests.
| • | | IAS 28, ‘Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures’: Clarifying measurement of investments |
-8-
IAS 28 allows venture capital organizations, mutual funds, unit trusts and similar entities to elect measuring their investments in associates or joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The Board clarified that this election should be made separately for each associate or joint venture at initial recognition.
These improvements will be effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 for IFRS 12 and January 1, 2018 for IFRS 1 and IAS 28.
2.4. Basis of preparation
In accordance with IAS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the assumption that Constellium is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.
The financial position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing facilities are described in the financial statements respectively in NOTE 12 – Cash and Cash Equivalents, NOTE 20 – Borrowings and NOTE 22 – Financial Risk Management.
The Group’s forecast and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, including an assessment of the current macroeconomic environment, indicate that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities and related covenants.
Accordingly the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management considers that this assumption is not invalidated by Constellium’s negative equity as at December 31, 2016. This assessment was confirmed by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2017.
2.5 Presentation of the operating performance of each operating segment and of the Group
In accordance with IFRS 8, ‘Operating Segments’, operating segments are based upon product lines, markets and industries served, and are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.
Constellium’s CODM measures the profitability and financial performance of its operating segments based on Adjusted EBITDA as it illustrates the underlying performance of continuing operations by excluding non-recurring and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income / (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures, net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation and amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences, metal price lag, share-based compensation expense, effects of certain purchase accounting adjustments, start-up and development costs or acquisition, integration and separation costs, certain incremental costs and other exceptional, unusual or generally non-recurring items.
2.6. Principles governing the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include all the assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the entities and businesses controlled by Constellium. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group has power over the investee, is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement in the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Investments over which the Group has significant influence or joint control are accounted for under the equity method. The investments are initially recorded at cost. Subsequently they are increased or decreased by the Group’s share in the profit or loss, or by other movements reflected directly in the equity of the entity.
Business combination
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations.
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The amount of non-controlling interests is determined for each business combination and is either based on the fair value (full goodwill method) or the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, resulting in recognition of only the share of goodwill attributable to equity holders of the parent (partial goodwill method).
-9-
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized as a gain in Other gains / (losses) - net in the Consolidated Income Statement.
At the acquisition date, the Group recognizes the identifiable acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities (identifiable net assets) of the subsidiaries on the basis of fair value at the acquisition date. Recognized assets and liabilities may be adjusted during a maximum of 12 months from the acquisition date, depending on new information obtained about the facts and circumstances existing at the acquisition date.
Significant assumptions used in determining allocation of fair value include the following valuation techniques: the cost approach, the income approach and the market approach which are determined based on cash flow projections and related discount rates, industry indices, market prices regarding replacement cost and comparable market transactions.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred and included in Other gains / (losses) - net in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Cash-generating units
The reporting units (which generally correspond to an industrial site), the lowest level of the Group’s internal reporting, have been identified as its cash-generating units.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising from a business combination is carried at cost as established at the date of the business combination less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Goodwill is allocated and monitored at the operating segments level which are the groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The operating segments represent the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.
Gains and losses on the disposal of a cash-generating unit include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the cash-generating unit sold.
Impairment of goodwill
A group of cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the group of units may be impaired.
The net carrying value of a group of cash-generating units is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less cost of disposal.
Value in use calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management and covering usually a 5-year period. Cash flows beyond this period are estimated using a perpetual long-term growth rate for the subsequent years.
The value in use is the sum of discounted cash flows over the projected period and the terminal value. Discount rates are determined based on the weighted-average cost of capital of each operating segment.
The fair value is the price that would be received for the group of cash-generating units, in an orderly transaction, from a market participant. This value is estimated on the basis of available and relevant market data or a discounted cash flow model reflecting market participant assumptions.
An impairment loss for goodwill is recognized for the amount by which the group of units carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Any impairment loss for goodwill is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the group of cash-generating units and then, to the other assets of the group of units pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the group of units.
Any impairment loss is recognized in the line Impairment in the Consolidated Income Statement. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.
-10-
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale & Discontinued operations
IFRS 5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ defines a discontinued operation as a component of an entity that (i) generates cash flows that are largely independent from cash flows generated by other components, (ii) is classified as held for sale or has been disposed of, and (iii) represents a separate major line of business or geographic areas of operations.
Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
Assets and liabilities are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
Assets and liabilities held for sale are presented in separate line items in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the period during which the decision to sell is made.
The results of discontinued operations are shown separately in the Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Foreign currency transactions and foreign operations
Functional currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the entities and businesses of Constellium are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each of them operates (their functional currency).
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded in the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented within Finance costs – net.
Realized foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to commercial transactions are presented in Cost of sales.
All other foreign exchange gains and losses, including those that relate to foreign currency derivatives hedging commercial transactions, are presented within Other gains/ (losses) – net.
Foreign operations: presentation currency and foreign currency translation
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the year-end balances of assets, liabilities and components of equity of Constellium’s entities and businesses are translated from their functional currencies into Euros, the presentation currency of the Group, at their respective year-end exchange rates; and the revenues, expenses and cash flows of Constellium’s entities and businesses are translated from their functional currencies into Euros using average exchange rates for the period.
The net differences arising from exchange rate translation are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income / (Loss).
The following table summarizes the main exchange rates used for the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Year ended December 31, 2016 | | | Year ended December 31, 2015 | | | Year ended December 31, 2014 | |
Foreign exchange rate for 1 Euro | | | | | Average rate | | | Closing rate | | | Average rate | | | Closing rate | | | Average rate | | | Closing rate | |
U.S. Dollars | | | USD | | | | 1.1063 | | | | 1.0541 | | | | 1.1089 | | | | 1.0887 | | | | 1.3264 | | | | 1.2141 | |
Swiss Francs | | | CHF | | | | 1.0901 | | | | 1.0739 | | | | 1.0669 | | | | 1.0835 | | | | 1.2146 | | | | 1.2024 | |
Czech Koruna | | | CZK | | | | 27.0342 | | | | 27.0210 | | | | 27.2762 | | | | 27.0226 | | | | 27.5352 | | | | 27.7348 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
-11-
Revenue from product sales, net of trade discounts, allowances and volume-based incentives, is recognized once delivery has occurred, and provided persuasive evidence that the following criteria are met:
| - | The significant risks and rewards of ownership of the product have been transferred to the buyer; |
| - | Neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold, has been retained by Constellium; |
| - | The amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| - | It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the sale will flow to Constellium; and |
| - | The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the sale can be measured reliably. |
The Group also enters into tolling agreements whereby clients provide the metal which the Group will then manufacture for them. In these circumstances, revenue is recognized when services are provided at the date of redelivery of the manufactured metal.
Amounts billed to customers in respect of shipping and handling are classified as revenue when the Group is responsible for carriage, insurance and freight. All shipping and handling costs incurred by the Group are recognized in Cost of sales.
Deferred tooling revenue and related costs
Certain automotive long term contracts include the design and manufacture of customized parts. To manufacture such parts, certain specialized or customized tooling is required. In accordance with IAS 11 ‘Construction Contracts’, the Group accounts for the tooling revenue and related costs provided by third party manufacturers on the basis of percentage of completion of the contract.
Research and development costs
Costs incurred on development projects are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
| - | It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use; |
| - | Management intends to complete and use the intangible asset; |
| - | There is an ability to use the intangible asset; |
| - | It can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; |
| - | Adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and use or sell the intangible asset are available; and |
| - | The expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured. |
Development expenditures which do not meet these criteria are expensed as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as expenses are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.
Other gains / (losses) - net
Other gains / (losses) - net include: (i) realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives contracted for commercial purposes and accounted for at fair value through profit or loss and (ii) unrealized exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities.
Other gains / (losses) - net separately identifies other unusual, infrequent or non-recurring items. Such items are those that in management’s judgment need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence. In determining whether an event or transaction is specific, management considers quantitative as well as qualitative factors such as the frequency or predictability of occurrence.
Interest income and expense
Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate method on loans receivables and on the interest bearing components of cash and cash equivalents.
Interest expense on short and long-term financing is recorded at the relevant rates on the various borrowing agreements.
Borrowing costs (including interests) incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.
Share-based payment arrangements
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and Board members providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting year, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest.
-12-
Property, plant and equipment
Recognition and measurement
Property, plant and equipment acquired by the Company are recorded at cost, which comprises the purchase price (including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes), any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management and the estimated close down and restoration costs associated with the asset. Borrowing costs (including interests) directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a Property, plant and equipment are included in the cost. Subsequent to the initial recognition, Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Costs are capitalized into construction work in progress until such projects are completed and the assets are available for use.
Subsequent costs
Enhancements and replacements are capitalized as additions to Property, plant and equipment only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with them will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured with reliability. Ongoing regular maintenance costs related to Property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation
Land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method as follows:
| - | Buildings 10 – 50 years; |
| - | Machinery and equipment 3 – 40 years; and |
Intangible assets
Recognition and measurement
Technology and Customer relationships acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses. The useful lives of the Group intangible assets are assessed to be finite.
Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method as follows:
| - | Customer relationships 25 years; and |
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which it belongs) may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount is based on the higher of fair value less cost of disposal (market value) and value in use (determined using estimates of discounted future net cash flows of the asset or group of assets to which it belongs).
Any impairment loss is recognized in the line Impairment in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Financial instruments
(i) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified either: (a) at fair value through profit or loss, or as (b) loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of Constellium’s financial assets at initial recognition.
| (a) | At fair value through profit or loss: These are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are categorized as held for trading except when they are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments’. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the Consolidated Income Statement. |
| (b) | Loans and receivables: These are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are classified as current or non-current assets based on their maturity date. Loans and receivables are comprised of trade receivables and other and non-current and current loans receivable in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment. |
-13-
(ii) Financial liabilities
Borrowings and other financial liabilities (excluding derivative liabilities) are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the issuance of the liability. These financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any difference between the amounts originally received (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement using the effective interest rate method.
(iii) Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
For derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value are recognized immediately in profit or loss and are included in ‘Other gains / (losses) - net’.
For derivative instruments that are designated for hedge accounting, the group documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. The group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement within ‘Other gains / (losses) - net’.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement when the hedged item affects the Consolidated Income Statement. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of derivative instruments hedging forecasted cash-flows under customer agreements is recognized in ‘Revenue’. When the forecasted transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are reclassified from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. The deferred amounts would ultimately be recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement upon the sale, depreciation or impairment of the asset.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecasted transaction is ultimately recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was recognized in equity is immediately reclassified to the Consolidated Income Statement.
(iv) Fair value
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, relevant market prices are used to determine fair values. The Group periodically estimates the impact of credit risk on its derivatives instruments aggregated by counterparties and takes it into account when estimating the fair value of its derivatives.
Credit Value Adjustments are calculated for asset derivatives based on Constellium counterparties credit risk. Debit Value Adjustments are calculated for credit derivatives based on Constellium own credit risk.
The fair value method used is based on historical probability of default, provided by leading rating agencies.
(v) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Leases
Constellium as the lessee
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Various buildings, machinery and equipment are leased from third parties under operating lease agreements. Under operating leases, lease payments are recognized as rent expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, and are included in Cost of sales or Selling and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the leased assets.
-14-
Leases of property, plant and equipment under which the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Various buildings and equipment are leased from third parties under finance lease agreements. Under such finance leases, the asset financed is recognized in Property, plant and equipment and the financing is recognized as a financial liability, in Borrowings.
Constellium as the lessor
Certain land, buildings, machinery and equipment are leased to third parties under finance lease agreements. At lease inception, the net book value of the related assets is removed from Property, plant and equipment and a Finance lease receivable is recorded at the lower of the fair value and the aggregate future cash payments to be received from the lessee computed at an interest rate implicit in the lease. As the Finance lease receivable from the lessee is due, interest income is recognized.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, primarily on a weighted-average cost basis.
Weighted-average costs for raw materials, stores, work in progress and finished goods are calculated using the costs experienced in the current period based on normal operating capacity (and include the purchase price of materials, freight, duties and customs, the costs of production, which includes labor costs, materials and other expenses, which are directly attributable to the production process and production overheads).
Trade account receivables
Recognition and measurement
Trade account receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less impairment.
Impairment
An impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due. Indicators of impairment would include financial difficulties of the debtor, likelihood of the debtor’s insolvency, late payments, default or a significant deterioration in creditworthiness. The amount of the provision is the difference between the assets’ carrying value and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The expense (income) related to the increase (decrease) of the impairment is recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement. When a trade receivable is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the impairment account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited in Other gains / (losses) in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Factoring arrangements
In non-recourse factoring arrangements, under which the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the receivables, the receivables are derecognized from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. When trade account receivables are sold with limited recourse, and substantially all the risks and rewards associated with these receivables are not transferred, receivables are not derecognized. Inflows and outflows from factoring agreements under which the Group does not derecognize receivables are presented on a net basis as cash flows from financing activities. Arrangements in which the Group derecognizes receivables result in changes in trade receivables which are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash in bank accounts and on hand, short-term deposits held on call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, less bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand, provided there is an offset right.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Trade payables
Trade payables are initially recorded at fair value and classified as current liabilities if payment is due in one year or less.

Provisions
Provisions are recorded for the best estimate of expenditures required to settle liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when management determines that a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected expenditures to be required to settle the obligation.
The ultimate cost to settle such liabilities is uncertain, and cost estimates can vary in response to many factors. The settlement of these liabilities could materially differ from recorded amounts. In addition, the expected timing of expenditure can also change. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to provisions, which could result in additional charges or recoveries affecting future financial results.
Types of liabilities for which the Group establishes provisions include:
Close down and restoration costs
Estimated close down and restoration costs are accounted for in the year when the legal or constructive obligation arising from the related disturbance occurs and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. These costs are based on the net present value of estimated future costs. Provisions for close down and restoration costs do not include any additional obligations which are expected to arise from future disturbance. The costs are estimated on the basis of a closure plan including feasibility and engineering studies, are updated annually during the life of the operation to reflect known developments (e.g. revisions to cost estimates and to the estimated lives of operations) and are subject to formal review at regular intervals each year.
The initial closure provision together with subsequent movements in the provisions for close down and restoration costs, including those resulting from new disturbance, updated cost estimates, changes to the estimated lives of operations and revisions to discount rates are capitalized within Property, plant and equipment. These costs are then depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the related assets. The amortization or unwinding of the discount applied in establishing the net present value of the provisions is charged to the Consolidated Income Statement as a financing cost.
Environmental remediation costs
Environmental remediation costs are accounted for based on the estimated present value of the costs of the Group’s environmental clean-up obligations. Movements in the environmental clean-up provisions are presented as an operating cost within Cost of sales. Remediation procedures may commence soon after the time at which the disturbance, remediation process and estimated remediation costs become known, and can continue for many years depending on the nature of the disturbance and the technical remediation.
Restructuring costs
Provisions for restructuring are recorded when Constellium’s management is demonstrably committed to the restructuring plan and where such liabilities can be reasonably estimated. The Group recognizes liabilities that primarily include one-time termination benefits, or severance, and contract termination costs, primarily related to equipment and facility lease obligations. These amounts are based on the remaining amounts due under various contractual agreements, and are periodically adjusted for any anticipated or unanticipated events or changes in circumstances that would reduce or increase these obligations.
Legal, tax and other potential claims
Provisions for legal claims are made when it is probable that liabilities will be incurred and when such liabilities can be reasonably estimated. For asserted claims and assessments, liabilities are recorded when an unfavorable outcome of a matter is deemed to be probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Management determines the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome based on many factors such as the nature of the matter, available defenses and case strategy, progress of the matter, views and opinions of legal counsel and other advisors, applicability and success of appeals, process and outcomes of similar historical matters, amongst others. Once an unfavorable outcome is considered probable, management weights the probability of possible outcomes and the most reasonable loss is recorded. Legal matters are reviewed on a regular basis to determine if there have been changes in management’s judgment regarding the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the estimate of a potential loss. Depending on their nature, these costs may be charged to Cost of sales or Other gains/ (losses)–net in the Consolidated Income Statement. Included in other potential claims are provisions for product warranties and guarantees to settle the net present value portion of any settlement costs for potential future legal actions, claims and other assertions that may be brought by Constellium’s customers or the end-users of products. Provisions for product warranty and guarantees are charged to Cost of sales in the Consolidated Income Statement. When any legal action, claim or assertion related to product warranty or guarantee is settled, the net settlement amount incurred is charged against the provision established in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The outstanding provision is reviewed periodically for adequacy and reasonableness by Constellium management.
-16-
Management establishes tax reserves and accrues interest thereon, if deemed appropriate, in expectation that certain tax return positions may be challenged and that the Group might not succeed in defending such positions, despite management’s belief that the positions taken were fully supportable.
Pension, other post-employment plans and other long-term employee benefits
For defined contribution plans, the contribution paid in respect of service rendered over the service period is recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement. This expense is included in Cost of sales, Selling and administrative expenses or Research and development expenses, depending on its nature.
For defined benefit plans, the retirement benefit obligation recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position represents the present value of the defined benefit as reduced by the fair value of plan assets. The effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and experience adjustments are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income / (Loss).
The amount charged to the Consolidated Income Statement in respect of these plans (including the service costs and the effect of any curtailment or settlement, net of interest costs) is included within the Income / (loss) from operations.
The defined benefit obligations are assessed using the projected unit credit method. The most significant assumption is the discount rate.
Other post-employment benefit plans mainly relate to health and life insurance benefits to retired employees and in some cases to their beneficiaries and covered dependents. Eligibility for coverage is dependent upon certain age and service criteria. These benefit plans are unfunded and are accounted for as defined benefit obligations, as described above.
Other long term employee benefits mainly include jubilees and other long-term disability benefits. For these plans, actuarial gains and losses arising in the year are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.
Taxation
The current Income tax (expense) / benefit is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.
The Group is subject to income taxes in the Netherlands, France, United States and numerous other jurisdictions. Certain of Constellium’s businesses may be included in consolidated tax returns within the Company. In certain circumstances, these businesses may be jointly and severally liable with the entity filing the consolidated return, for additional taxes that may be assessed.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This approach also requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets for operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates and laws is recognized as tax income / (loss) in the year when the rate change is substantively enacted. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Presentation of financial statements
The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Euros, except Earnings per share in Euros. Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation or with IFRS requirements.
Interest paid previously presented in Cash flows from / (used in) financing activities have been reclassified in Cash flows from / (used in) operating activities for respectively €174 million, €143 million and €39 million for years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The change in presentation will provide more relevant information about the effects of transactions on the Group cash flows and will make them more comparable with their peers.

2.7. Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Many of the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements involve the use of judgment and/or estimation. These judgments and estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances, giving consideration to previous experience. However, actual results may differ from the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements. Key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include the items presented below.
Impairment tests for goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
The determination of fair value and value in use of cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units depends on a number of assumptions, in particular market data, estimated future cash flows and discount rates.
These assumptions are subject to risk and uncertainty. Any material changes in these assumptions could result in a significant change in a cash-generating units’ recoverable value or in a goodwill impairment. Details of the key assumptions applied are set out in NOTE 16 – Intangible assets (including goodwill) and in NOTE 15 – Property, plant and equipment.
Pension, other post-employment benefits and other long-term employee benefits
The present value of the defined benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the defined benefit obligations and net pension costs include discount rates and rates of future compensation increase.
Any material changes in these assumptions could result in a significant change in employee benefit expenses recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement, actuarial gains and losses recognized in Equity and prepaid and accrued benefits. Details of the key assumptions applied are set out in NOTE 23 – Pensions and other post-employment benefit obligations.
Taxes
Significant judgment is sometimes required in determining the accrual for income taxes as there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax provisions, results of operations and possibly cash flows in the year in which such determination is made.
Management judgment is required to determine the extent to which deferred tax assets can be recognized. In assessing the recognition of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be utilized. The deferred tax assets will be ultimately utilized to the extent that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. This assessment is conducted through a detailed review of deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and takes into account the scheduled reversals of taxable and deductible temporary differences, past, current and expected future performance deriving from the budget, the business plan and tax planning strategies. Deferred tax assets are not recognized in the jurisdictions where it is less likely than not that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Provisions
Provisions have been recorded for: (a) close-down and restoration costs; (b) environmental remediation and monitoring costs; (c) restructuring programs; (d) legal and other potential claims including provisions for product income tax risks, warranty and guarantees, at amounts which represent management’s best estimates of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Expectations are revised each year until the actual liability is settled, with any difference accounted for in the year in which the revision is made. Main assumptions used are described in NOTE 24 – Provisions.
Purchase Accounting
Business combinations are recorded in accordance with IFRS 3, ‘Business Combination’ using the acquisition method. Under this method, upon the initial consolidation of an entity over which the Group has acquired exclusive control, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date.
Therefore, through a number of different techniques, the Group identified what it believes is the fair value of the assets and liabilities at the acquisition date. These valuations include a number of assumptions, estimations and judgments. Quantitative and qualitative information is further disclosed in NOTE 16 – Intangible assets (including Goodwill).
Significant assumptions which were used in determining allocation of fair value included the following valuation techniques: the cost approach, the income approach and the market approach which were determined based on cash flow projections and related discount rates, industry indices, market prices regarding replacement cost and comparable market transactions. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodologies were reasonable, different assumptions could have resulted in different fair values.

(A) | Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminum prices included within Constellium revenues are established and when aluminum purchase prices included in Cost of sales are established. The Group accounts for inventory using a weighted average price basis and this adjustment aims to remove the effect of volatility in LME prices. The calculation of the Group metal price lag adjustment is based on an internal standardized methodology calculated at each of Constellium manufacturing sites and is calculated as the average value of product recorded in inventory, which approximates the spot price in the market, less the average value transferred out of inventory, which is the weighted average of the metal element of cost of sales, based on the quantity sold in the period. |
(B) | For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, new sites start-up costs and business development initiatives include respectively €20 million and €16 million related to BiW/ABS growth projects both in Europe and the U.S. |

We entered into the re-negotiation of these terms in order to align the terms of this contract, acquired during the acquisition of Wise, with Constellium’s normal business terms. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Wise one-time costs related to non-cash step-up in inventory costs on the acquisition of Wise entities (effects of purchase price adjustment for €12 million), to losses incurred on the unwinding of Wise previous hedging policies (€4 million) and to Midwest premium losses (€22 million). |
(E) | The contractual price adjustment relating to the acquisition of Wise Metals Intermediate Holdings was finalized in 2016. We received a cash payment of €21 million and recorded €20 million gain net of costs. |

-24-
(A) | Change in recognized and unrecognized deferred tax assets mainly relates to unrecognized tax losses carried forward for the year ended December 31, 2016 and to impairment of long term assets of one of our main entities for the year ended December 31, 2015 (See NOTE 18 - Deferred income taxes). |
(B) | For the year ended December 31, 2016, change in tax rate relates to French income tax rate decrease from 34.43% to 28.92% starting 2020, enacted by the 2016 Financial Tax Bill. |
(C) | Other includes non-deductible items and certain contractual reimbursements in 2014. |
Our composite statutory income tax rate of 24.9% in the year ended December 31, 2016, 38.2% in the year ended December 31, 2015 and 31.0% in the year ended December 31, 2014 resulted from the statutory tax rates (i) in the United States of 40 % in 2016 and in 2015, 43% in 2014, (ii) in France of 34.43% in 2016, 38.0% in 2015 and 2014, (iii) in Germany of 29% in 2016, 2015 and 2014, (iv) in the Netherlands of 25%, stable for the last three years and (v) in Czech Republic of 19%, stable for the last three years.
The variation in our composite tax rate is mainly impacted by the geographical mix of our pre-tax results.
The 13.3% decrease in our composite tax rate from 2015 to 2016 mostly results from the decrease in pre-tax losses in the United States and the 7.2% increase in our composite tax rate from 2014 to 2015 resulted from the change in the weight of profits or losses in higher tax rate jurisdictions in particular France and the United States compared to the weight of profits in lower tax rate jurisdictions most notably in Czech Republic.

Impairment allowance
The Group periodically reviews its customers’ account aging, credit worthiness, payment histories and balance trends in order to evaluate trade account receivables for impairment. Management also considers whether changes in general economic conditions and in the industries in which the Group operates in particular, are likely to impact the ability of the Group’s customers to remain within agreed payment terms or to pay their account balances in full.
Revisions to the impairment allowance arising from changes in estimates are included as either additional allowance or recoveries. An allowance was reversed for €0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 (€0.5 million allowance recognized during the year ended December 31, 2015).
None of the other amounts included in Other receivables was deemed to be impaired.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable shown above. The Group does not hold any collateral from its customers or debtors as security.

13.3 Factoring arrangements
The Group factored specific account receivables in France by entering into factoring agreements with a third party for a maximum capacity of €235 million. This agreement matures December 31, 2018.
The Group factored specific account receivables in Germany, Switzerland and Czech Republic by entering into factoring agreements with a third party for a maximum capacity of €115 million. These facilities were amended on December 21, 2016 to increase the maximum capacity to €150 million and extend the maturity to October 29, 2021.
In December 2015, Constellium Automotive USA entered into a factoring agreement which provides for the sale of specific account receivables up to a maximum capacity of $25 million. On December 13, 2016, the factoring agreement was amended to extend the maturity to December 12, 2017.
On March 16, 2016, Muscle Shoals entered into a new factoring agreement which provides the sale of specific account receivables up to a maximum capacity of $100 million. The facility was amended on June 28, 2016 to increase its capacity to $250 million and further amended on November 22, 2016 to $325 million.
Under the Group’s factoring agreements, most of the account receivables are sold without recourse. Where the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the receivables, the receivables are de-recognized from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Some remaining receivables do not qualify for derecognition under IAS 39, ‘Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement’, as the Group retains substantially all the associated risks and rewards.
Under the agreements, as at December 31, 2016, the total carrying amount of the original assets factored is €681 million (December 31, 2015: €529 million) of which:
| • | | €566 million (December 31, 2015: €429 million) derecognized from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as the Group transferred substantially all of the associated risks and rewards to the factor; |
| • | | €115 million (December 31, 2015: €100 million) recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. |
At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there was respectively less than €1 million and no amount due to the factor relating to trade account receivables sold.
Covenants
At December 31, 2016, the factoring arrangements contain certain affirmative and negative covenants, including some relating to the administration and collection of the assigned receivables, the terms of the invoices and the exchange of information, but do not contain restrictive financial covenants.
The commitment of the factor to buy receivables under the Muscle Shoals factoring agreement is subject to certain credit ratings being maintained.
The Group was in compliance with all applicable covenants at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
13.4 Finance lease receivables

Impairment tests for property, plant and equipment and intangibles assets
No triggering events were identified as at December 31, 2016 regarding our cash-generating units.
Certain triggering events were identified as at December 31, 2015 for certain cash-generating units. In accordance with the accounting policies described in NOTE 2.6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, these cash-generating units were tested for impairment.
For the Muscle Shoals cash-generating unit, the following triggering events were identified as at December 31, 2015:
| - | Continuing under performance and actual 2015 Muscle Shoals results showing a much lower financial performance than the initial business plan prepared as part of the Wise acquisition, and |
| - | Revised budget and strategic plan for Muscle Shoals downgraded, notably after taking into account new sale agreements commercial conditions for the can/packaging business. |
Its value in use was determined based on projected cash flows expected to be generated by the can/packaging business at Muscle Shoals. These cash flow forecasts were prepared by the Group Management and reviewed by the Board of Directors. The discount rate applied to cash flows projections was 11% and cash flows beyond the projection period were extrapolated using a 0% growth rate. The value in use calculation led to a recoverable value being €400 million lower than the carrying value.
Management determined that the fair value less cost of disposal of Muscle Shoals cash-generating unit did not exceed the value in use.
Accordingly, an impairment charge of €400 million was recorded as at December 31, 2015, reducing the Muscle shoals’ cash- generating unit intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
For the Constellium Valais cash-generating units, certain triggering events were identified in 2015 (cash-generating unit Valais - AS&I operating segment: operational reorganization and industrial restructuring and cash-generating unit Valais - A&T operating segment: expected adverse change in key sale agreements).
Based on the recoverable value approached from both a value in use and a fair value models, the carrying value of the Property, plant and equipment was fully impaired as at December 31, 2015. The related impairment charge totaled €49 million.

Acquisition of Wise Entities
On January 5, 2015, Constellium acquired 100% of Wise Metals Intermediate Holdings LLC (“Wise” or “Muscle Shoals”), a private aluminum sheet producer located in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, United States of America. The total consideration, paid in cash, was €370 million. With the acquisition, Constellium has access to 450,000 metric tons (kt) of hot mill capacity from the widest strip mill in North America, reinforcing its position on the can market and positioning Constellium to continue to grow in the North American BiW/ABS market.
In accordance with IFRS 3, ‘Business Combination’, Constellium has recognized the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

The valuation resulted in the recognition of intangible assets such as Customer relationships and Technology. Property, plant and equipment, Inventories, Provisions and Borrowings have been remeasured at fair value. The resulting €395 million goodwill is mainly supported by the growing automotive markets (BiW/ABS) in North America. Goodwill is amortized for tax purposes.
Considering the industries served, its major customers and product lines, Muscle Shoals and its related assets and liabilities are included in Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products (P&ARP) operating segment.
Impairment tests for goodwill
Goodwill in the amount of €457 million has been allocated to the Group’s operating segment Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products (“P&ARP”) for €450 million, Aerospace and Transportation (“A&T”) for €5 million and Automotive Structures and Industry (“AS&I”) for €2 million.
At December 31, 2016, the recoverable amount of the A&T and AS&I operating segments has been determined based on value in use calculations and significantly exceeded their carrying value. No reasonable change in the assumptions retained could lead to a potential impairment charge.
For the P&ARP operating segment, the recoverable value (determined on the basis of fair value less costs of disposal) was estimated by applying a discounted cash flow model and market participant’s assumptions and has been classified as a level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy provided by IFRS 13.
The projected future cash flows are based on the 2017-2025 medium and long term business plan approved by the management and reviewed by the Board of Directors. They include the significant capital expenditures for the Automotive Body Sheet (up to 2020) and the related returns. Considering the significant level of future capital expenditure needed to address the Automotive Body Sheet market and the related Automotive Body Sheet cash inflows ramping-up from 2018/2019 to reach a normative level in 2023/2024, cash flows were projected over a 9 year period. The terminal value assumes a normative cash flow and a long term growth rate ranging from 0% to 2%. The discount rates applied to cash flows projections range between 11% and 12%. It was concluded that the carrying value (€1,254 million) did not exceed the recoverable value (€1,504 million) as at December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the impairment test carried out at the P&ARP operating segment level did not lead to a goodwill impairment.
The key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value less costs of disposal for the P&ARP operating segment are the discount rates, the perpetual growth rates used to extrapolate cash-flows beyond the forecast period and the forecasted shipments for Automotive Body Sheet, products and related revenues. They have been determined considering what market participants would assume in estimating fair value.
| - | Discount rates used represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to the P&ARP operating segment taking into consideration the time value of money and the risks associated with the underlying assets. |
| - | The growth rates used to extrapolate cash-flows beyond the forecast period were developed internally and are consistent with external sources of information. |
| - | Expected shipments and related revenues were determined based on estimates of future supply and demand for Automotive Body Sheet products. These estimates were developed internally based on our industry knowledge and our analysis of available market data regarding expected future demand and industry capacity. |
Sensitivity analysis: the calculation of the recoverable value of the P&ARP operating segment is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
| - | Discount rate : an increase in the discount rate by 1.5% would result in the recoverable value equaling the carrying value; |
| - | Perpetual growth rate : a decrease in the perpetual growth rate by 4.5 % would result in the recoverable value equaling the carrying value; or |
| - | BIW/ABS shipments: 40% lower shipments in the BIW/ABS US business would result in the recoverable value equaling the carrying value. |

(A) | Mainly non-deductible provisions. |
Based on the expected taxable income of the entities, the Group believes that it is more likely than not that a total of €1,345 million (€1,160 million at December 31, 2015) of unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences will not be used. Consequently, net deferred tax assets have not been recognized. The related tax impact of €428 million (€369 million at December 31, 2015) is attributable to the following:
| | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions of Euros) | | At December 31, 2016 | | | At December 31, 2015 | |

Total | | | (428 | ) | | | (369 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | |
(A) | Of which €186 million relating to Muscle Shoals assets. |
Substantially all of the tax losses not expected to be used reside in the Netherlands, the United States and in Switzerland.
The holding companies in the Netherlands have been generating tax losses over the past six years, and these holding companies are not expected to generate sufficient qualifying taxable profits in the foreseeable future to utilize these tax losses before they expire in the years from 2020 to 2025.
The tax losses not expected to be utilized in the United States relate to one of our main operating entities. Although this entity is expected to be profitable in the medium or long term, considering notably the anticipated development of the BiW/ABS business, it bears significant non-cash depreciation and financial interests that will continue generating tax losses in the coming years. Accordingly, it is uncertain whether the entity will be able to use, at its level given the absence of an overall U.S. tax group, these tax losses before they expire. Consequently, the related deferred tax assets have not been recognized.
The tax losses not expected to be utilized in Switzerland relate to losses generated by one of our Swiss entities most of them expiring in the years from 2019 to 2023. Following an operational reorganization and industrial restructuring in 2015, this Swiss entity is not expected to generate sufficient taxable profits over the next coming years to utilize these losses before they expire.
As at December 31, 2016 and 2015, most of the unrecognized deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences on long-term assets and other differences relate to the U.S. and Swiss entities discussed above. A joint assessment has been performed on the recoverability of the deferred tax assets on deductible temporary differences and tax losses for these two entities. In line with the assessments, the related deferred tax assets on long term assets and on other differences have not been recognized.

21.3 Valuation hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of derivatives measured at fair value, grouped into levels based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
| • | | Level 1 valuation is based on quoted price (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments, it includes aluminum futures that are traded on the LME; |
| • | | Level 2 valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices), it includes foreign exchange derivatives; |
| • | | Level 3 valuation is based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). |

NOTE 22 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s financial risk management strategy focuses on minimizing the cash flow impacts of volatility in foreign currency exchange rates, metal prices and interest rates, while maintaining the financial flexibility the Group requires in order to successfully execute the Group’s business strategies.
Due to Constellium’s capital structure and the nature of its operations, the Group is exposed to the following financial risks: (i) market risk (including foreign exchange risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk); (ii) credit risk and (iii) liquidity and capital management risk.
22.1 Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
Net assets, earnings and cash flows are influenced by multiple currencies due to the geographic diversity of sales and the countries in which the Group operates.
Constellium is exposed to foreign exchange risk in the following areas:
| • | | Transaction exposures, which include |
| ○ | | Commercial transactions related to forecasted sales and purchases and on-balance sheet receivables/payables resulting from such transactions. |
| ○ | | Financing transactions, related to external and internal net debt |
| • | | Translation exposures, which relate to net investments in foreign entities which are converted in Euros in the consolidated financial statements. |
Commercial transactions exposures
The Group policy is to hedge committed and highly probable forecasted foreign currency operational transactions. The Group uses foreign exchange forwards and foreign exchange swaps for this purpose.
The following tables outline the nominal value (in millions of Euros) of derivatives for Constellium’s most significant foreign exchange exposures as at December 31, 2016.

In 2016, the Group agreed with a major customer for the sale of fabricated metal products in U.S. Dollars to be supplied from a Euro functional currency entity. In line with its hedging policy, the Group entered into significant foreign exchange derivatives which match related highly probable future conversion sales by selling U.S. Dollars against Euros. The Group designated these derivatives for hedge accounting for a total nominal amount of €504 million with maturity 2017-2022.
For hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any mark-to-market movements are recognized in Other gains / (losses) – net.

Financing transaction exposures
When the Group enters into intercompany loans and deposits, the financing is generally provided in the functional currency of the subsidiary. The foreign currency exposure of the Group’s external funding and liquid assets is systematically hedged either naturally through external foreign currency loans and deposits or through cross currency basis swaps and simple foreign currency swaps.
The notional of the cross currency basis swaps amounted to €746 million at December 31, 2016.

In accordance with the Group policy, the net foreign exchange result related to financing activities is expected to be balanced at any time, provided the Group does not enter into specific transactions.
Cross currency swaps and liquidity swaps settled during the period are presented in ‘Other financing activities’ in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Foreign exchange sensitivity on commercial and financing transactions exposures
The largest exposures of the Group are related to the Euro/Dollar exchange rate. The table below summarizes the impact on profit and Equity (before tax effect) of a 10 % strengthening of the US Dollar versus the Euro for non US Dollar functional currency entities.

The amounts shown in the table above may not be indicative of future results since the balances of financial assets and liabilities may change.
Translation exposures
Foreign exchange impacts related to the translation in Euro of net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and related revenues and expenses are not hedged as the Group operates in these various countries on permanent basis.
Foreign exchange sensitivity
The exposure relates to foreign currency translation of net investments in foreign subsidiaries and arises mainly from operations conducted by US Dollar functional currency subsidiaries.
The table below summarizes the impact on profit and Equity (before tax effect) of a 10 % strengthening of the US Dollar versus the Euro (on average rate for profit before tax and closing rate for pretax equity ) for US Dollar functional currency entities.

The amounts shown in the table above may not be indicative of future results since the balances of financial assets and liabilities may change.
Margin Calls
Our financial counterparties may require margin call should our mark-to-market exceed a pre-agreed contractual limit. In order to protect from the potential margin calls for significant market movements, the Group ensures that financial counterparts hedging the transactional exposure are also hedging the foreign currency loan and deposit exposure. Further, The Group holds a significant liquidity buffer in cash or in availability under its various borrowing facilities, enters into derivatives with a large number of financial counterparties and monitors margin requirements on a daily basis. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the margin requirement related to foreign exchange hedges was nil and the Group was not exposed to material margin call risk.
(ii) Commodity price risk
The Group is subject to the effects of market fluctuations in the price of aluminum, which is the Group’s primary metal input and a significant component of its output. The Group is also exposed to silver, copper and natural gas but in a less significant way.
The Group strategy is to protect the Group’s margin on future conversion and fabrication activities by aligning the price and quantity of physical aluminum purchases with that of physical aluminum sales. When the Group is unable to do so, it enters into derivative financial instruments to pass through the exposure to metal price fluctuations to financial institutions at the time the price is set. Therefore, the Group purchases fixed price aluminum forwards to offset the exposure of LME volatility on its fixed price sales agreements for the supply of metal.
As at December 31, 2016, the nominal amount of commodity derivatives are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions of Euros) | | Maturity | | Less than 1 year | | | Over 1 year | |
Aluminium | | 2017-2021 | | | 116 | | | | 42 | |
Premiums | | 2017-2021 | | | 5 | | | | 12 | |
Copper | | 2017 | | | 3 | | | | — | |
Silver | | 2017-2018 | | | 7 | | | | — | |
Natural gas | | 2017 | | | 20 | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
The value of the contracts will fluctuate due to changes in market prices but is intended to help protect the Group’s margin on future conversion and fabrication activities. At December 31, 2016, these contracts are directly entered with external counterparties.
The Group does not apply hedge accounting and therefore any mark-to-market movements are recognized in Other gains / (losses) – net.

Commodity price sensitivity: risks associated with derivatives
The net impact on earnings and equity of a 10% increase or decrease in the market price of aluminum, based on the aluminum derivatives held by the Group at December 31, 2016 (before tax effect), with all other variables held constant was estimated to €15 million gains or losses (€23 million at December 31, 2015). The balances of such financial instruments may change in future periods however, and therefore the amounts shown may not be indicative of future results.
-40-
Margin Calls
As the LME price for aluminum falls, the derivative contracts entered into with financial institution counterparties have a negative mark-to-market. The Group’s financial institution counterparties may require margin calls should the negative mark-to-market exceed a pre-agreed contractual limit. In order to protect from the potential margin calls for significant market movements, the Group enters into derivatives with a large number of financial counterparties and monitors margin requirements on a daily basis for adverse movements in aluminum prices. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the margin requirement related to aluminum or any other commodity hedges was nil and the Group was not exposed to material margin call risk.
(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of financial instruments held by the Group and that are subject to variable rates will fluctuate, or the cash flows associated with such instruments will be impacted due to changes in market interest rates. The Group’s interest rate risk arises principally from borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents deposits (including short-term investments) earning interest at variable interest rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. (See NOTE 21 - Financial Instruments)
Interest rate sensitivity: risks associated with variable-rate financial instruments
The impact on Income/Loss before income tax for the period of a 50 basis point increase or decrease in the LIBOR or EURIBOR interest rates, based on the variable rate financial instruments held by the Group at December 31, 2016, with all other variables held constant, was estimated to be less than €1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. However, the balances of such financial instruments may not remain constant in future periods, and therefore the amounts shown may not be indicative of future results. At December 31, 2016, 95% of Group’s borrowings were at fixed rate.
22.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk with financial institutions and other parties as a result of cash-in-bank, cash deposits, mark-to-market on derivative transactions and customer trade receivables arising from Constellium’s operating activities. The maximum exposure to credit risk for the year ended December 31, 2016 is the carrying value of each class of financial asset as described in NOTE 21 - Financial Instruments. The Group does not generally hold any collateral as security.
Credit risk related to transactions with financial institutions
Credit risk with financial institutions is managed by the Group’s Treasury department in accordance with a Board approved policy. Constellium management is not aware of any significant risks associated with financial institutions as a result of cash and cash equivalents deposits (including short-term investments) and financial derivative transactions.
The number of financial counterparties is tabulated below showing our exposure to the counterparty by rating type (Parent company ratings from Moody’s Investor Services):

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(A) | Financial Counterparties for which the Group’s exposure is below €250 thousand have been excluded from the analysis. |
Credit risks related to customer trade receivables
The Group has a diverse customer base geographically and by industry. The responsibility for customer credit risk management rests with Constellium management. Payment terms vary and are set in accordance with practices in the different geographies and end-markets served. Credit limits are typically established based on internal or external rating criteria, which take into account such factors as the financial condition of the customers, their credit history and the risk associated with their industry segment. Trade receivables are actively monitored and managed, at the business unit or site level. Business units report credit exposure information to Constellium management on a regular basis. Over 92% of the Group’s trade account receivables are insured by insurance companies rated A3 or better, or sold to a factor on a non-recourse basis. In situations where collection
-41-
risk is considered to be above acceptable levels, risk is mitigated through the use of advance payments, bank guarantees or letters of credit. Historically, we have a very low level of customer default as a result of long history of dealing with our customer base and an active credit monitoring function.
See NOTE 13 - Trade Receivables and other for the aging of trade receivables.
22.3 Liquidity and capital risk management
Group’s capital structure includes shareholder’s equity, borrowings and various third-party financing arrangements (such as credit facilities and factoring arrangements). Constellium’s total capital is defined as total equity plus net debt. Net debt includes borrowings due to third parties less cash and cash equivalents.
Constellium’s overriding objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the business as a going concern, to maximize returns for its owners and to maintain an optimal capital structure in order to minimize the weighted cost of capital.
All activities around cash funding, borrowings and financial instruments are centralized within Constellium’s Treasury department. Direct external funding or transactions with banks at the operating entity level are generally not permitted, and exceptions must be approved by Constellium’s Treasury department.
The liquidity requirements of the overall Company are funded by drawing on available credit facilities, while the internal management of liquidity is optimized by means of cash pooling agreements and/or intercompany loans and deposits between the Company’s operating entities and central Treasury.
The Group has two secured asset-based variable rate revolving credit facilities in Ravenswood and Muscle Shoals for respectively $100 million and $200 million. The borrowing base as at December 31, 2016 amounts to $80 million for Ravenswood and $128 million for Muscle Shoals. Considering the used facility, the Group had €150 million outstanding availability under these U.S. asset based revolving credit facilities at December 31, 2016.
In addition to the cash in bank (See NOTE 12 – Cash and Cash equivalents), the Group had access to €190 million undrawn facilities at December 31, 2016 (including the €150 million described above).
The tables below show undiscounted contractual values by relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 to the contractual maturity date.

On February 16, 2017, the Group issued a $650 million senior unsecured notes due 2025, with interest rate 6.625%. The net proceeds were used to repurchase Muscle Shoals 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2018. (See Note 32 – Subsequent events). These transactions are not reflected in the table above as they were completed subsequently to December 31, 2016.

NOTE 23 - PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
The Group operates a number of pensions, other post-employment benefits and other long-term employee benefit plans. Some of these plans are defined contribution plans and some are defined benefit plans, with assets held in separate trustee-administered funds. Benefits paid through pension trusts are sufficiently funded to ensure the payment of benefits to retirees when they become due.
Actuarial valuations are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as described in NOTE 2.6 – Principles governing the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
23.1 Description of the plans
Pension plans
Constellium’s pension obligations are in the U.S., Switzerland, Germany and France. Pension benefits are generally based on the employee’s service and highest average eligible compensation before retirement and are periodically adjusted for cost of living increases, either by company practice, collective agreement or statutory requirement. U.S. and Swiss benefit plans are funded through long-term employee benefit funds.
Other post-employment benefits (OPEB)
The Group provides health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and in some cases to their beneficiaries and covered dependents, mainly in the U.S. Eligibility for coverage depends on certain age and service criteria. These benefit plans are unfunded.
Other long-term employee benefits
Other long term employee benefits mainly include jubilees in France, Germany and Switzerland and other long-term disability benefits in the U.S. These benefit plans are unfunded.
23.2 Description of risks
Our estimates of liabilities and expenses for pensions and other post-employment benefits incorporate a number of assumptions, including discount rate, longevity estimate and inflation rate. The defined benefit obligations expose the Group to a number of risks, including longevity, inflation, interest rate, medical cost inflation, investment performance, and change in law governing the employee benefit obligations. These risks are mitigated when possible by applying an investment strategy for the funded schemes which aims to minimize the long-term costs. This is achieved by investing in a diversified selection of asset classes, which aims to reduce the volatility of returns and also achieves a level of matching with the underlying liabilities.
Investment performance risk
Our pension plan assets consist primarily of funds invested in listed stocks and bonds.
The present value of funded defined benefit obligations is calculated using a discount rate determined by reference to high quality corporate bond yields. If the return on plan asset is below this rate, it will increase the plan deficit.
Interest rate risk
A decrease in the discount rate will increase the defined benefit obligation. At December 31, 2016, impacts of the change on the defined benefit obligation of a 0.50% increase / decrease in the discount rates are calculated by using a proxy based on the duration of each scheme:
| | | | | | | | |
(in millions of Euros) | | 0.50% increase in discount rates | | | 0.50% decrease in discount rates | |
France | | | (9 | ) | | | 10 | |
Germany | | | (9 | ) | | | 10 | |
Switzerland | | | (23 | ) | | | 27 | |
United States | | | (32 | ) | | | 35 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total sensitivity on Defined Benefit Obligations | | | (73 | ) | | | 82 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Longevity risk
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants. An increase in the life expectancy of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
23.3 Actuarial assumptions
Our estimates of liabilities and expenses for pensions and other post-employment benefits incorporate a number of assumptions, including discount rate, longevity estimate and inflation rate. The principal actuarial assumptions used as at the balance sheet closing date were as follows:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(A) | The other main financial assumptions used for the OPEB (healthcare plans, which are predominantly in the U.S.) were: |
| - | Medical trend rate: pre 65: 6.70% starting in 2017 decreasing gradually to 4.50% until 2024 and stable onwards and post 65: 5.80% starting in 2017 decreasing gradually to 4.50% until 2024 and stable onwards, and |
| - | Claims costs are based on individual company experience. |
For both pension and healthcare plans, the post-employment mortality assumptions allow for future improvements in life expectancy.

23.9 OPEB amendments
During the third quarter of 2012, the Group implemented certain plan amendments that had the effect of reducing benefits of the participants in the Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood Retiree Medical and Life Insurance Plan. In February 2013, five Constellium retirees and the United Steelworkers union filed a class action lawsuit against Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC in a federal district court in West Virginia, alleging that Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC improperly modified retiree health benefits.
The Group believes that these claims are unfounded, and that Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC had a legal and contractual right to make the applicable modification.

Close down, environmental and restoration costs
The Group records provisions for the estimated present value of the costs of its environmental clean-up obligations and close down and restoration efforts based on the net present value of estimated future costs of the dismantling and demolition of infrastructure and the removal of residual material of disturbed areas, using an average discount rate of 0.87%. A change in the discount rate of 0.5% would impact the provision by €3 million.
-46-
It is expected that these provisions will be settled over the next 40 years depending on the nature of the disturbance and the technical remediation plans.
Restructuring costs
The Group records provisions for restructuring costs when management has a detailed formal plan, is demonstrably committed to its execution and can reasonably estimate the associated liabilities. The related expenses are presented as Restructuring costs in the Consolidated Income Statement.

These provisions also include €7 million in 2016 (€6 million in 2015) related to product warranties and guarantees and €4 million in 2016 (€5 million in 2015) related to late delivery penalties. These provisions are expected to be utilized over the next five years. |
(B) | The Group is involved in litigation and other proceedings, such as civil, commercial and tax proceedings, incidental to normal operations. It is not anticipated that the resolution of such litigation and proceedings will have a material effect on the future results, financial position, or cash flows of the Group. |
(C) | Since the early 1990s, certain activities of the Group’s businesses have been subject to claims and lawsuits in France relating to occupational diseases resulting from alleged asbestos exposure, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis. It is not uncommon for the investigation and resolution of such claims to go on over many years as the latency period for acquiring such diseases is typically between 25 and 40 years. For any such claim, it is up to the social security authorities in each jurisdiction to determine if a claim qualifies as an occupational illness claim. If so determined, the Group must settle the case or defend its position in court. At December 31, 2016, 11 cases in which gross negligence is alleged (“faute inexcusable”) remain outstanding (15 at December 31, 2015), the average amount per claim being less than €0.1 million. The average settlement amount per claim in 2016 and 2015 was €0.1 million. It is not anticipated that the resolution of such litigation and proceedings will have a material effect on the future results from continuing operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Group. |

NOTE 28 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Description of the plans
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (equity-settled)
In 2015 and 2016, the Company granted Performance-Based restricted stock units (PBRSU) to selected employees. These Performance-Based RSU will vest after two or three years from the grant date if the following two conditions are simultaneously met:
| - | A vesting condition under which the selected managers must be continuously employed by the Company through the end of vesting period. |
| - | A performance condition, depending on the Total Stockholder Return (TSR) performance of Constellium share over a measurement period compared to the TSR of a specified group of peer companies. Performance shares will ultimately vest, depending on the TSR performance at each anniversary date, based on vesting multiplier in a range from 0 to 3. |
The following table lists the inputs to the models used for the Performance-Based RSU granted during the year ended December 31, 2016:
| | |
Fair value at grant date (in Euros) | | [6.76 – 9.86] |
Share price at grant date (in Euros) | | [4.46 – 5.61] |
Dividend yield | | — |
Expected volatility | | [69% – 71%] |
Risk-free interest rate (U.S. government bond yield) | | [0.76% – 1.27%] |
Model used | | Monte Carlo |
The PBRSU granted in November 2015 achieved a TSR performance of 118% at its first anniversary, which represents 47,229 potential additional shares that could vest in November 2018 subject to the continued employment of the beneficiaries.
Restricted Stock Units Award Agreements (equity-settled)
The Company grants Restricted Stock Units (RSU) to a certain number of employees subject to the beneficiaries remaining continuously employed within the Group from the grant date through the end of the vesting period. Vesting period is over two or three years depending on the grant date.
In 2016, the Company also granted 150,000 RSU which vest in equal installments on the first two anniversaries of the grant date, subject to their continued employment.
The fair value of RSU awarded under the plans described above is the quoted market price at grant date.
Equity Awards Plans (equity-settled)
Company Board members were granted annually an award of RSU since 2012. These RSU vest in equal installments on the first two anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to their continued service.
The fair value of RSU awarded under the Equity Awards Plan is the quoted market price at grant date.
Free share plan (equity-settled)
In 2013, a free share plan was granted to all employees in the U.S., France, Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. Under this plan, each eligible employee was granted an award of 25 RSU that vested and were settled in Class A ordinary shares on the second anniversary of our initial public offering, subject to the applicable employee remaining employed by the Company or its subsidiaries through that date.
The plan vested in May 2015 and accordingly 185,285 shares were issued and granted to our employees.
Co-investment Plan (equity-settled)
In March 2014, some selected managers who took the opportunity to invest part of their bonus into ordinary shares were granted Performance-Based RSU in an amount equal to a specified multiple of ordinary shares invested as part of this plan.
The potential rights associated to each of the 71,490 ordinary shares invested as part of this plan were evaluated using the Monte Carlo method and amounted to €56.50 per share at grant date.
The outstanding rights at December 31, 2016 will vest in May 2017, subject to their continued employment and to the Company share price exceeding the market share price at grant date.
-49-
Expense recognized during the year
In accordance with IFRS 2, share based compensation is recognized as expense over the vesting period. The estimate of this expense is based upon the fair value of a Class A potential ordinary share at the grant date. The total expense related to the potential ordinary shares for the year ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 amounted to €6 million, €5 million and €4 million respectively.
Movement of potential shares
The following table illustrates the number and weighted-average fair value of, and movements in, shares during the year (excluding co-investment plan):
