The amounts recorded directly in equity mainly concern hedging transactions (positive effect of €172 million), comprising:

  • transactions relating to net investment hedges (negative effect of €53 million), which mainly concern concession activities outside France;
  • interest rate hedges (positive effect of €270 million);
  • other currency and commodity price hedges (negative effect of €46 million).

The main changes in the period relate directly to the impact of the increase in interest rates on the valuation of derivatives used as cash flow hedges and of actuarial gains on retirement benefit obligations.

These transactions are described in Note J.27.1.2, “Description of hedging transactions”.

23.5 Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests amounted to €3,470 million at 31 December 2022 (€1,889 million at 31 December 2021).

At 31 December 2022, the Group owned two subsidiaries in which there were material non-controlling interests. They were London Gatwick airport (49.99% not owned by VINCI) and Mexican airport operator OMA (70.01% not owned by VINCI).

London Gatwick airport

VINCI Airports and Global Infrastructure Partners, acting on behalf of non-controlling shareholders, signed a shareholders’ agreement determining control over London Gatwick airport. That agreement covers matters including the composition of the Board of Directors, the ability to appoint certain key executives, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and a mechanism for approving substantive decisions such as those regarding the business plan and annual budget. In addition, a procedure has been established for resolving any disputes that may arise, which in certain scenarios will allow non-controlling shareholders, after acceptance by VINCI, to sell their shares to VINCI.

OMA (Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte)

The governance arrangement is described in Note B.1, “Changes in consolidation scope during the period”.

Condensed financial information for London Gatwick airport and airport operator OMA is presented below. It was prepared in accordance with IFRSs, adjusted where appropriate for fair value remeasurements at the date of acquisition of control and adjustments to harmonise accounting policies with those of the Group. The amounts at 31 December 2022 are presented before eliminations of intercompany accounts and transactions.
