- The concession operator receives revenue for the services provided either directly from the users<br />
or through the concession grantor.<br />
The most significant accounting methods used by the Acciona <strong>Group</strong> in relation to these<br />
concession arrangements are as follows:<br />
- The account receivable is recognised for the present value of the amount receivable from the<br />
grantor.<br />
- Borrowing costs are not capitalised, either during the construction phase or after the concession<br />
has started to operate.<br />
- Even during the construction phase the <strong>Group</strong> recognises interest income earned on the financial<br />
asset, based on its effective interest rate.<br />
- In virtually all of the concessions of the Acciona <strong>Group</strong>, the construction was carried out by<br />
<strong>Group</strong> companies. In this regard, the income and expenses corresponding to infrastructure<br />
construction or upgrade services are recognised at the gross amount thereof (recognition of the<br />
sales and the cost of sales in the consolidated financial statements of the Acciona <strong>Group</strong>),<br />
recognising the construction margin in the consolidated financial statements. If construction were<br />
not carried out by the <strong>Group</strong> itself, this fact would be taken into account for the purpose of<br />
recognising sales and the cost of sales in the consolidated financial statements.<br />
- There is no depreciation or amortisation charge since the arrangements constitute a financial<br />
asset.<br />
- Annual billings are divided into a financial asset component recognised in the balance sheet<br />
(and, therefore, not recognised as sales) and the component relating to services provided, which is<br />
recognised under “Revenue”.<br />

accounting policies are detailed in Note 3.2-i.<br />
- Classification of the fair value measurements of financial assets and for derivative financial<br />
instruments consistent with the fair value hierarchy established in IFRS 7, detailed in Note<br />
3.2-i.<br />
- (Qualitative and quantitative) disclosure requirements relating to capital are detailed in Note<br />
16-g.<br />
- Risk accounting and management policies are detailed in Note 19.<br />
- Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting are detailed in Note 20.<br />
