9.2 Goodwill impairment test<br />

In 2015, Vivendi tested the value of goodwill allocated to its Cash-Generating Units (CGUs) or groups of CGU applying valuation methods<br />

consistent with previous years. Vivendi ensured that the recoverable amount of CGU or groups of CGU exceeded their carrying value<br />

(including goodwill). The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the value in use determined by the discounted value of future<br />

cash flows (Discounted Cash Flow method (DCF)) and the fair value (less costs to sell), determined on the basis of market data (stock market<br />

prices, comparable listed companies, comparison with the value attributed to similar assets or companies in recent transactions). For a<br />

description of the methods used for the impairment test, please refer to Note 1.3.5.7.<br />

a. Related to pay-TV in France overseas, Africa and Vietnam.<br />

b. The process of integrating free-to-air TV operations (D8/D17 channels acquired on September 27, 2012) with pay-TV operations in<br />

mainland France, as well as the development of pay-TV in Poland and Vietnam reflects the further convergence of pay-TV and free-to-air<br />

TV operations in countries in which Canal+ Group operates. As a result, as of December 31, 2015, Vivendi performed a goodwill<br />

impairment test related to pay-TV and free-to-air TV operations in France, Poland, Africa and Vietnam by aggregating the CGU of pay-TV<br />

in Mainland France, Canal+ Overseas, nc+ and free-to-air TV, which corresponds to the level of monitoring the return on such<br />

investments.<br />

c. Goodwill attributable to Digitick and MyBestPro (formerly Wengo) were fully impaired as of December 31, 2014.<br />

d. As of December 31, 2015, no goodwill impairment test attributable to Dailymotion and Radionomy were undertaken given that the<br />

acquisition dates of Dailymotion and Radionomy (June 30, 2015 and December 17, 2015, respectively) were close to the closing date.<br />

During the fourth quarter of 2015, Vivendi performed a goodwill impairment test on each CGU or groups of CGU, on the basis of valuations of<br />

recoverable amounts determined with the assistance of third-party appraisers, for pay-TV and free-to-air TV in France, Africa and Vietnam as<br />

well as Universal Music Group and internal valuations for nc+ in Poland, Studiocanal and See Tickets. As a result, Vivendi Management<br />

concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the recoverable amount for each CGU or groups of CGU tested exceeded their carrying value.<br />
