NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Statement of compliance

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements present the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income / (Loss) and Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018; and the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Changes in Equity as at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. They are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and with generally accepted accounting principles under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the Consolidated Financial Statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which were approved by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2019.

These Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by management on July 22, 2019.

2.2 Basis of preparation

In accordance with IAS 1, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared on the assumption that Constellium is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The Group’s forecasts 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. Management considers that the going concern assumption is not invalidated by Constellium’s negative equity as at June 30, 2019.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, except for the application of the effective tax rate in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2019.

2.3 Application of new and revised IFRS

The Group has applied, for the first time, IFRS 16 - Leases and IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax treatment. As required by IAS 34, the nature and effect of these changes are disclosed below.

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2019, but do not have any impact on the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

 

-6-


IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 - Leases deals with principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosures of leases. The standard provides an accounting model, requiring a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for eligible leases.

Right-of-use assets

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and are adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term. Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes a lease liability measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentive receivables, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced by the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option. The Group also applies the low-value asset recognition exemption to leases of assets with a value below €5,000. Lease payments on short-term leases and low-value asset leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The standard replaced IAS 17 - Leases and is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Group adopted IFRS 16 retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the initial date of application. The Group elected to apply the practical expedients for low-value assets, short-term leases and lease and non-lease components as a single component. In addition, the Group elected for the relief provision of IFRS 16 and did not apply IFRS 16 to contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

The Group recognized right-of-use assets for €102 million and corresponding lease liabilities previously accounted for as operating leases for €102 million on January 1, 2019, excluding initial direct costs, based on an average incremental borrowing rate of 7.6% and no cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was recognized.

Borrowings

     (2,151      (102      (2,253

As of December 31, 2018, commitments for leases previously accounted for as operating leases amounted to €133 million. The difference compared to the lease liabilities recognized as of January 1, 2019 is primarily explained by the impact of discounting and the recognition of short-term leases and low-value leases on a straight-line basis as expense, partially offset by adjustments as a result of extension options.

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax treatment

This interpretation provides guidance on how to determine an entity’s taxable result where there is uncertainty over whether tax positions taken by an entity will be accepted by the tax authority. The recognition criteria shall be based on the assessment of whether the tax authority will accept a tax treatment, on a more-likely-than-not basis, assuming that the tax authority has full knowledge of all relevant information. Uncertain tax positions recognized shall be measured using either (i) the most likely amount between two possible outcomes or (ii) the weighted average amount of several possible outcomes (expected value), depending on which is thought to give a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty.

 

-7-


The Group adopted IFRIC 23 using the cumulative effect method of adoption at the date of initial application. There was no cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019.

The adoption of IFRIC 23 resulted in the reclassification of €20 million from Provisions to Income tax payable and reduction of Deferred income tax assets and current tax receivables.

2.4 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 the 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 certain 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 on transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting, 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.

2.5 Principles governing the preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

Presentation of financial statements

The Unaudited Condensed Interim 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 the current year presentation.

Seasonality of operations

Due to the seasonal nature of the Group’s operations, the Group would typically expect higher revenues and operating profits in the first half of the year compared to the second half.

2.6 Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements requires the Group to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely be equal to the related actual results. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates, the effect of which is recognized in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

In preparing these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were those applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements at, and for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, in accordance with IAS 34, the Group applied, in the preparation of these Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, a projected tax rate for the full year of 2019.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION OF CONSTELLIUM BOWLING GREEN

The acquisition of 49% of Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC was completed on January 10, 2019, strengthening our position in the North American Auto Body Sheet market. The entity was renamed Constellium Bowling Green and is fully consolidated in 2019.

Constellium is estimating, on a preliminary basis, the provisional fair values as of January 10, 2019 of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These estimated fair values are subject to change, for a maximum 12-month period from the acquisition date, based upon management’s final determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The following table reflects the goodwill arising as a result of the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the Bowling Green assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 10, 2019:

Total consideration includes €87 million of cash consideration paid for the 49% stake in Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC, €72 million for the fair value of Constellium’s previously held interest in Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC and €38 million of preexisting trade receivables with Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC.

Property, plant and equipment, Inventories, Provisions and Borrowings have been remeasured at fair value. The €22 million of goodwill is the result of expected synergies and will be amortized over 15 years for tax purposes.

Considering the industries served, its major customers and product lines, Bowling Green and its related assets and liabilities are included in the Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products (P&ARP) operating segment.

Acquisition costs were recognized as expenses in Other gains / (losses) – net in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Income Statement (€1 million in 2019).

(A)

Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminium prices included within Constellium Revenues are established and when aluminium 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’s manufacturing sites and is primarily 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, start-up and development costs include €5 million and €9 million respectively, related to new projects in our AS&I operating segment.

(C)

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Bowling Green one-time costs related to the acquisition include the non-cash reversal of the inventory step-up.

(A)

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Group incurred mainly (i) €58 million of interest related to Constellium SE Senior Notes and (ii) €4 million of interest expense and fees related to our North American ABL Facility (“Pan-US ABL”). For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Group incurred (i) €56 million of interest related to Constellium SE Senior Notes; and (ii) €2 million of interest expense and fees related to the Pan-US ABL Facility.

(B)

The Group hedges the dollar exposure relating to the principal of its Constellium SE U.S. Dollar Senior Notes, for the portion that has not been used to finance directly or indirectly U.S. Dollar functional currency entities. Changes in the fair value of these hedging derivatives are recognized within Finance costs—net in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Income Statement and largely offset the unrealized results related to Constellium SE U.S. Dollar Senior Notes revaluation.

(C)

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, other finance expenses include a €6 million net loss resulting from the modification of our loan to Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC in February 2018.

(D)

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of assets are capitalized. The capitalization rate used for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 6% (6% for the six months ended June 30, 2018).

NOTE 9 - SHARE OF INCOME / (LOSS) OF JOINT VENTURES

The acquisition of 49% of Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC was completed on January 10, 2019 and the entity is fully consolidated since the acquisition date. The remeasurement of the 51% previously held equity interest in Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC at the acquisition date resulted in the recognition of a €5 million profit presented in Share of income / (loss) of joint ventures in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Income Statement.

At June 30, 2018, Constellium-UACJ ABS LLC was accounted for under the Equity method. The information presented hereafter reflects the amounts included in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Income Statement for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 of the relevant entity in accordance with the Group accounting principles and not the Company’s share of those amounts:

13.4 Factoring arrangements

The Group factors trade receivables in France by entering into factoring agreements with a third party for a maximum capacity of €235 million. This agreement matures on October 29, 2021.

The Group factors trade receivables in Germany, Switzerland and the Czech Republic by entering into factoring agreements with a third party for a maximum capacity of €150 million. This agreement matures on October 29, 2021. In addition, the Group sells receivables from one of its German customers under an uncommitted factoring facility whereby receivables sold are confirmed by the customer.

Constellium Automotive USA entered into a factoring agreement that provides for the sale of specific trade receivables up to a maximum capacity of $33 million. This agreement matures on December 11, 2019.

Muscle Shoals entered into a factoring agreement that provides for the sale of specific trade receivables up to a maximum capacity of $375 million. The agreement matures on January 24, 2020.

Under the Group’s factoring agreements, most of the trade receivables are sold without recourse. Where the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the receivables, the receivables are derecognized. Some remaining receivables do not qualify for derecognition under IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, as the Group retains substantially all the associated risks and rewards.

Under the agreements, at June 30, 2019, the total carrying amount of the original assets factored is €631 million (December 31, 2018: €601 million) of which:

 

   

€471 million (December 31, 2018: €446 million) have been derecognized from the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as the Group transferred substantially all of the associated risks and rewards to the factor;

 

   

€160 million (December 31, 2018: €155 million) were recognized on the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

There was no debt due to the factor relating to trade receivables sold at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Covenants

The factoring arrangements contain certain customary 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 maintenance financial covenants.

The commitment of the factor to buy receivables under the Muscle Shoals factoring agreement is subject to maintaining certain credit ratings.

The Group was in compliance with all applicable covenants at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

19.2 Fair values

All derivatives are presented at fair value in the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The carrying value of the Group’s borrowings at maturity is the redemption value.

The fair value of Constellium SE Senior Notes issued in May 2014, February 2017 and November 2017 account for 102%, 104% and 103% respectively of the nominal value and amount to €664 million, €596 million and €866 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019. The fair value was classified as a Level 1 measurement under the fair value hierarchy provided by IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

The fair values of the other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values, as a result of their liquidity or short maturity.

 

-20-


19.3 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 prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments. It includes aluminium, copper and zinc 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). Trade receivables are classified as a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy.

There was no material transfer of derivatives into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018.

NOTE 20 - 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.

20.1 Market risk

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 that match related highly probable future conversion sales by selling U.S. Dollars against Euros. The Group designated these derivatives for hedge accounting, with total nominal amount of $296 million as of June 30, 2019 ($369 million as of December 31, 2018) and maturities ranging from 2019 to 2022.

For hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting, any mark-to-market movements are recognized in Other gains / (losses) – net.

20.2 Translation exposures

Foreign exchange impacts related to the translation to 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, except as described below.

In June 2018, the Group entered into forward contracts with nominal amount of CHF174 million to hedge the currency risk associated with the translation of the net assets of its Swiss operations into the Group’s presentation currency. The Group designated these derivatives as a net investment hedge. The realized loss of the net investment hedge is included in Currency translation differences within Other comprehensive income for €2.8 million.

20.3 Liquidity and capital risk management

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.

At June 30, 2019, the borrowing base for the Pan-U.S. ABL facility and the French inventory facility were $374 million and €78 million, respectively. After deduction of amounts drawn and letters of credit, the Group had €314 million of outstanding availability under these secured revolving credit facilities.

At June 30, 2019, liquidity was €588 million, comprised of €213 million of cash and cash equivalents and €375 million of available undrawn facilities, including the €314 million described above.

21.5 OPEB amendments

In the third quarter of 2018, the Group announced a plan to transfer certain participants in the Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood Retiree Medical and Life Insurance Plan (“the Plan”) from a company sponsored program to a third-party health network that provides similar benefits at a lower cost.

The United Steelworkers Local Union 5668 is contesting the changes to the Plan and filed a lawsuit against Constellium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC in a federal district court in West Virginia (the “Court”) seeking to enjoin the Plan changes and to compel arbitration. The Court issued an order in December 2018 enjoining the Company from implementing the changes to the Plan pending resolution in arbitration.

The Group believes it has a strong legal position and that it is probable that it will ultimately prevail and be able to implement the Plan changes.

Contingencies

The Group is involved, and may become involved, in various lawsuits, claims and proceedings relating to customer claims, product liability, and other commercial matters. The Group records provisions for pending litigation matters when it determines that it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and such amounts can be reasonably estimated. In some proceedings, the issues raised are or can be highly complex and subject to significant uncertainties and amounts claimed are and can be substantial. As a result, the probability of loss and an estimation of damages are and can be difficult to ascertain. In exceptional cases, when the Group considers that disclosures relating to provisions and contingencies may prejudice its position, disclosures are limited to the general nature of the dispute

The Group is currently subject to an arbitration by a customer claiming that Constellium supplied defective products as a result of which the customer alleges it has suffered significant damages. The Group considers that the claim is without merit on both technical and legal grounds and is vigorously defending the action. For this matter and in respect of others which the Group considers are without merit, while it is possible that an unfavorable outcome may result, after assessing the information available, the Group has concluded that it is not probable that a loss has been incurred.

NOTE 23 - NON-CASH INVESTING & FINANCING TRANSACTIONS

Property, plant and equipment acquired through leases or financed by third parties amounted to €33 million and €1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. These leases and financings are excluded from the Unaudited Interim Statement of Cash Flow as they are non-cash transactions.

Fair values of vested Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units amounted to €4 million and €3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. They are excluded from the Unaudited Interim Statement of Cash flows as non-cash financing activities.

Constellium SE issued and granted Class A ordinary shares to certain employees related to share-based compensation plans.

NOTE 25 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Description of the plans

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (equity-settled)

In April 2019, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Performance Stock Units (PSUs) to selected employees. These units will vest after three years from the grant date if the following conditions are met:

 

 

A vesting condition under which the beneficiaries must be continuously employed by the Company through the end of the vesting period (3 years), and

 

 

In respect of the PSUs, a performance condition, depending on the Total Stockholder Return (TSR) performance of Constellium shares over the vesting period compared to the TSR of specified indices. PSUs will ultimately vest based on a vesting multiplier which ranges from 0 to 2.

The following table lists the inputs to the model used for the PSUs granted in April 2019:

 

Fair value at grant date (in Euros)

     10.44  

Share price at grant date (in Euros)

Dividend yield

     —    

Expected volatility

     52

Risk-free interest rate (U.S. government bond yield)

     2.29

Model used

     Monte Carlo  

The fair value of the RSUs awarded is the quoted market price of Constellium shares at grant date.

Expense recognized during the year

In accordance with IFRS 2, share-based compensation is recognized as an expense over the vesting period. The estimate of this expense is based upon the fair value of a Class A potential ordinary share at grant date. The total expense related to the potential ordinary shares amounted to €7 million and €6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

Movement of potential shares

(A)

For PSUs, the number of potential shares granted is presented using a vesting multiplier of 100%.

(B)

When the achievement of TSR performance exceeds the vesting multiplier of 100%, the additional potential shares are presented as over-performance shares.

(C)

For potential shares related to PSUs, 78,806 were forfeited following the departure of certain beneficiaries and none were forfeited in relation to the non-fulfilment of performance conditions.
