Comments on the determination of the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and changes in the scope of consolidation
The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is determined by translating the financial statements for the fiscal year of entities with a functional currency other than the euro at the prior fiscal
year’s exchange rates, without any other restatements.
The impact of changes in the scope of consolidation is determined as follows:
— for the fiscal year’s acquisitions, by deducting from revenue for the fiscal year the amount of revenue generated during that fiscal year by the acquired entities, as of their initial
consolidation;
— for the prior fiscal year’s acquisitions, by deducting from revenue for the fiscal year the amount of revenue generated over the months during which the acquired entities were not
consolidated in the prior fiscal year;
— for the fiscal year’s disposals, by adding to revenue for the fiscal year the amount of revenue generated by the divested entities in the prior fiscal year over the months during which those
entities were no longer consolidated in the current fiscal year;
— for the prior fiscal year’s disposals, by adding to revenue for the fiscal year the amount of revenue generated in the prior fiscal year by the divested entities.
Profit from recurring operations is restated in accordance with the same principles.
