Renegotiations of the terms of borrowings and similar operations are recorded<br />

as an extinction of the former liability with recognition of a new liability only if<br />

there are substantial differences between the old and new terms. When this is<br />

the case, the costs borne for renegotiation are included in the fi nancial expenses<br />

for the period during which the negotiation takes place.<br />

V – Derivatives and hedge accounting<br />

Measurement and presentation<br />

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value. This fair value is subsequently<br />

reviewed at each closing date.<br />

n<br />

n<br />

n<br />

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on market conditions.<br />

The fair value of currency swaps is determined by discounting future cash<br />

fl ows, using closing-date market rates (exchange and interest rates);<br />

The fair value of interest rate derivatives is the amount the Group would<br />

receive (or pay) to settle outstanding contracts at the closing date, taking into<br />

account any unrealised gains or losses based on current interest rates and<br />

the quality of the counterparty to each contract at the closing date.<br />

This fair value includes accrued interest;<br />

The fair value of commodity derivatives is based on market conditions.<br />

The Automobile division’s derivatives are reported in the balance sheet as<br />

current if they mature within 12 months and non-current otherwise. All Sales<br />

fi nancing division derivatives are reported in the balance sheet as current.<br />

Hedge accounting<br />

The treatment of derivatives designated as hedging instruments depends on<br />

the type of hedging relationship:<br />

n<br />

n<br />

n<br />

fair value hedge;<br />

cash fl ow hedge;<br />

hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.<br />

The Group identifi es the hedging instrument and the hedged item as soon<br />

as the hedge is set up, and documents the hedging relationship, stating the<br />

hedging strategy, the risk hedged and the method used to assess the hedge’s<br />

effectiveness. This documentation is subsequently updated, such that the<br />

effectiveness of the designated hedge can be demonstrated.<br />

Hedge accounting uses specifi c measurement and recognition methods for<br />

each category of hedge.<br />

n<br />

n<br />

Fair value hedges: the hedged item is adjusted to fair value in view of the risk<br />

hedged and the hedging instrument is recorded at fair value. As changes in<br />

these items are recorded in the income statement simultaneously, only the<br />

ineffective portion of the hedge has an impact on net income. It is recorded in<br />

the same income statement item as changes in the fair value of the hedged<br />

item and the hedging instrument.<br />

Cash fl ow hedges: no adjustment is made to the value of the hedged<br />

item; only the hedging instrument is adjusted to fair value. Following this<br />

adjustment, the effective portion of the change in fair value attributable to the<br />

hedged risk is recorded, net of taxes, in equity, while the ineffective portion<br />

is included in the income statement. The cumulative amount included in<br />

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

equity is transferred to the income statement when the hedged item has an<br />

impact on net income.<br />

Hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation: the hedging instrument is<br />

adjusted to fair value. Following this adjustment, the effective portion of the<br />

change in fair value attributable to the hedged exchange risk is recorded,<br />

net of taxes, in equity, while the ineffective portion is included in the income<br />

statement. The cumulative amount included in equity is transferred to<br />

the income statement at the date of liquidation or sale of the investment.<br />

The interest rate component of fi nancial instruments used to hedge the<br />

investment in Nissan (forward sales and fi xed/fi xed c ross c urrency s waps)<br />

is treated as an ineffective portion and consequently recorded directly in<br />

fi nancial income and expenses.<br />

Derivatives not designated as hedges<br />

Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognised<br />

directly in fi nancial income, except in the case of derivatives entered into<br />

exclusively for reasons closely related to business operations. In this case,<br />

changes in the fair value of derivatives are included in the operating margin.<br />

< TABLE OF CONTENTS ><br />

Somaca (Société marocaine de construction) was fi rst consolidated at January 1,<br />

<strong>2007</strong> after <strong>Renault</strong> brought its investment in the company to 80% through<br />

successive acquisitions of shares.<br />

Under an agreement with the Japanese group NTN, <strong>Renault</strong> sold 35% of the<br />

capital of SNR on March 31, <strong>2007</strong>. In application of this agreement, <strong>Renault</strong><br />

has deconsolidated its investment in SNR.<br />

In July <strong>2007</strong>, the Group raised its interest in <strong>Renault</strong> Financial Services Ltd.<br />

(RFS) from 50% to 100% and now fully consolidates the investment (which was<br />

proportionately consolidated up to the date of the transaction). This generated<br />

goodwill of €32 million.<br />
