The Group’s consolidated revenue corresponds to revenue from the Concessions business and from the VINCI Energies, Cobra IS, VINCI Construction and VINCI Immobilier business lines.

IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” requires entities to identify each contract as well as the various performance obligations contained in the contract. The number of performance obligations depends on the types of contracts and activities. Most of the Group’s contracts involve only one performance obligation.

Under IFRS 15, recognition of revenue must reflect:

• the rate at which performance obligations are fulfilled, corresponding to the transfer to the customer of control of a good or service;
• the amount to which the seller expects to be entitled as consideration for its activities.

The way in which transfer of control of a good or service is analysed is crucial, since that transfer determines the recognition of revenue. The transfer of control of a good or service may take place continuously (revenue recognition on a progress towards completion basis) or on a specific date that corresponds to the completion of works.

Revenue from concession contracts consists of:

• tolls for the use of motorway infrastructure operated under concession, revenue from airport service concessions, and ancillary income such as fees from commercial installations, rental of telecommunications infrastructure and advertising space;
• revenue in respect of the construction of new infrastructure under concession and recognised on a progress towards completion basis.

Consolidated revenue of the VINCI Energies, Cobra IS and VINCI Construction business lines comprises the total of the work, goods and services generated by the consolidated subsidiaries pursuing their main activity and the revenue for the construction of infrastructure under concession.

In the property sector, revenue arising on lots sold is recognised as the property development proceeds, in accordance with IFRS 15 and statutory provisions relating to off-plan sales. In that respect, to measure progress towards completion of works, VINCI Immobilier uses the cost-based method. The cost of land is included in the progress towards completion calculation at the commencement of each contract.

Revenue from ancillary activities mainly relates to revenue from leases, sales of equipment, materials and merchandise, study work and fees.

The method for recognising revenue under concession contracts is explained in Note F, “Concessions: PPP contracts, concession contracts and other infrastructure”. The method for recognising revenue from construction and service contracts is explained in Note G.16, “Information on construction and service contracts”.
