(1) Fair value hedges relate to currency risks on operating receivables and payables as well as on foreign currency investments and financing.

The fair value of the derivatives is their market value.

10.2. Foreign exchange gains and losses
Accounting principles

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the difference between the value of foreign currency operating income and expenses translated at the spot rate effective on the transaction date and at the exchange rate effective on the settlement date are recognised directly on the appropriate income and expense lines, after allowing for hedging derivatives.

Foreign exchange gains and losses break down as follows:

Foreign currency transactions are translated at the spot rate at the transaction date.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated using the exchange rates effective at the closing date. Foreign exchange gains and losses also include the following items relating to derivative instruments:

  • changes in market value linked to variations in the spot rate between the inception of the hedge and the date when the hedged transactions are completed;
  • residual ineffectiveness linked to excess hedges and recognised directly in the income statement under other foreign exchange gains and losses for €24.5 million, €1.5 million and €13.3 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

These amounts are allocated to the appropriate operating expense items. They are broken down as follows:

10.3. Hedging of interest rate risk

The Group did not have any interest rate hedging instruments at 31 December 2022, 2021 and 2020.

10.4. Sensitivity to changes in interest rates

An increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would have had a direct positive impact of €9.8 million on the Group’s net finance costs at 31 December 2022, compared with a direct negative impact of -€18.2 million at 31 December 2021 and a direct positive impact of €56.4 million at 31 December 2020. This calculation allows for cash, cash equivalents and derivatives, and assumes that total net debt/cash remains stable and that fixed‑rate debt at maturity is replaced by floating‑rate debt.

The impact of a 100 basis point rise in interest rates on the fair value of the Group’s fixed‑rate financial assets and liabilities, after allowing for any interest rate derivatives, can be estimated at -€23.9 million at 31 December 2022 compared with -€1.0 million at 31 December 2021 and -€1.0 million 31 December 2020.
