4. Provisions
Accounting policies and methods

Provisions are recorded in the balance sheet in respect of the Company’s obligations to pay supplementary pensions to certain employees or company officers, for the part relating to beneficiaries who are retired. An off-balance sheet commitment is recorded for the portion relating to beneficiaries who have not yet retired.

Retirement benefit obligations (lump sums paid on retirement and supplementary retirement benefit plans) are measured using the prospective actuarial method (the projected unit credit method) on the basis of external assessments made at each period end, for each existing plan.

Other provisions are intended to cover the risks arising from past or present events that are probable at the balance sheet date. They are estimates as regards their amount and expected period of use.

Other provisions for contingencies relate in particular to:

  • VINCI’s obligation to deliver shares under the performance share plans adopted by the Board of Directors on 13 April 2023, 9 April 2024 and 17 April 2025. Provisions taken in respect of those plans at 31 December 2025, for €204 million, €134 million and €69 million respectively, take account of the estimated probability, at 31 December 2025, that these shares will vest.
  • VINCI’s obligation to deliver shares under the Castor International savings plan for the employees of certain foreign subsidiaries, in accordance with authorisations given to the Board of Directors at the Shareholders’ General Meeting, in an amount of €122 million.
  • Unrealised capital losses on certain open positions on interest rate derivatives in an amount of €22 million (€45 million at 31 December 2024).

Provisions for retirement and similar benefit obligations relate solely to beneficiaries who have retired. Provisions for retirement and similar benefit obligations are not recognised for active beneficiaries, but are recorded in off-balance sheet commitments.

Retirement benefit obligations are calculated on the basis of the following actuarial assumptions:
