As of 2018, the cash positions of all subsidiaries in the cash flow statement are classified by reference to criteria of autonomy.

An entity is considered non-autonomous when it is a holding company, generates the majority of its sales with EDF group entities, or does not have the status of employer.

The main subsidiaries classified as non-autonomous are C2, C3, EDF Holding and EDF International, and the main subsidiaries classified as autonomous are Enedis, PEI, Sofilo and GGF.

In the cash flow statement, the cash positions of autonomous subsidiaries are presented as a deduction from Cash and cash equivalents. The cash positions of non-autonomous subsidiaries are included in the components of the changes in working capital.

Note 21 Unrealised foreign exchange losses

Accounting principles and methods

Foreign currency receivables and payables are translated into Euros at the year-end exchange rates. The resulting translation differences are recorded in the balance sheet under “Unrealised foreign exchange gains” and “Unrealised foreign exchange losses”. Provisions are recorded to cover all unrealised exchange losses on foreign currency borrowings not hedged for exchange risks. Unrealised gains are not recognised in the income statement.

Unrealised gains and losses on currency derivatives classified as hedging instruments are recorded in the balance sheet in the revaluation surplus accounts, and netted with the unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses booked in respect of the hedged items, in compliance with ANC regulation 2015-05 of 2 July 2015 on forward financial instruments and hedging operations. Realised gains and losses on hedging derivatives are recognised in the income statement symmetrically to gains and losses on the hedged item.

Foreign exchange gains and losses on trade receivables and payables are recorded in operating income and expenses.

Unrealised foreign exchange losses at 31 December 2022 amount to €1,906 million, principally reflecting:

  • unrealised losses caused by currency movements (essentially in the US dollar and the pound sterling) amounting to €1,637 million at 31 December 2022 (€1,043 million at 31 December 2021) on liabilities and receivables in foreign currencies, and currency hedging instruments;
  • the balance at 31 December 2022 of realised gains and losses on the settlement of hedging instruments with the subsidiary EDF International, amounting to €266 million (€281 million at 31 December 2021). In accordance with France’s national chart of accounts, in application of the symmetry principle set out in Article 628-11, the net result (€311 million in 2019, no equivalent in 2020, 2021 or 2022) is recognised in unrealised foreign exchange losses and transferred to expenses over the residual life of the hedged item, symmetrically to the accounting treatment of gains and losses on the hedged item. A €15 million expense was accordingly recognised in the 2022 financial result (€15 million in 2021).
