Application of IFRS 16 and financial indicatorsFIRST-HALF 2019 RESULTS
Assystem adopted IFRS 16, “Leases” on 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. In accordance with this approach, the financial statements for 2018 have not been restated.
The first-time application of this new standard had only a limited effect on EBITA and consolidated profit for theperiod. However, it did have highly significant impacts on the EBITDA and free cash flow indicators used byAssystem. All of these impacts are disclosed in this document together with the related figures.
In view of these highly significant impacts, in order to permit meaningful year-on-year comparisons of the aboveindicators and maintain a method of calculating EBITDA and free cash flow consistent with that used to calculatenet debt, Assystem will continue to use EBITDA and free cash flow indicators as calculated excluding the impactsof IFRS 16.
In the consolidated statement of financial position, the Group's adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in the recognition oflease liabilities and right-of-use assets presented on the liabilities and assets side respectively under “Leaseliabilities” and “Right-of-use assets”. The net debt indicator used by Assystem does not include lease liabilities.
