6. Other financial income and expense

Accounting policies

Other financial income and expense comprises mainly discounting effects, the impact of capitalised borrowing costs, foreign exchange gains and losses relating to financial items and changes in the value of derivatives not allocated to hedging interest rate or exchange rate risk, along with financial expense relating to lease liabilities under IFRS 16.

Capitalised borrowing costs relate to infrastructure under concession and are included during the construction period in the value of those assets. They are determined as follows:

  • To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of constructing an asset, the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation on that asset are the actual borrowing costs incurred during the period less any investment income arising from the temporary investment of those borrowings.
  • When borrowing is not intended to finance a specific project, the interest eligible for capitalisation on an asset is determined by applying a financing rate to the expenditure on that asset. This rate is equal to the weighted average of the costs of borrowing funds, other than those specifically intended for the construction of given assets.

This does not relate to the construction of concession assets accounted for using the financial asset model (see Note F.14, “PPP financial receivables”).

The effect of discounting to present value was stable year on year. It mainly involved provisions for retirement benefit obligations in the amount of €14 million and fixed fees payable to concession grantors in relation to Salvador Bahia airport in Brazil and Belgrade airport in Serbia, which totalled €12 million.

In 2021, capitalised borrowing costs mainly related to Arcos for €27 million (€21 million in 2020), Belgrade and London Gatwick airports for a total of €17 million (€15 million in 2020), and the ASF group for €3 million (€4 million in 2020).

Foreign exchange gains and losses had a positive impact of €10 million in 2021 (compared with a negative impact of €15 million in 2020) and the other fair value changes included the change in VINCI’s stake in Groupe ADP.
