IMPAIRMENT OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS

The companies accounted for using the equity method in the Automotive business include the companies in partnership with Dong Feng Motor Company Group, based in China.

The non-current assets of these companies are tested for impairment on the basis of the same principles as applicable to the Automotive business of Groupe PSA (cf. note 4.4). When there are indicators of impairment, the assets that are specific to the vehicle models are tested separately and all assets (including those that aren't specific to the models) are tested in aggregate at the level of each partnership. The Covid-19 crisis is an indicator of impairment which resulted in updating the tests at June 30, 2020.

Dongfeng

At 30 June 2020, impairment testing at the companies in partnership with the Dong Feng Motor Company Group resulted in the recognition of RMB 47 million in impairment losses (RMB 23 million in PSA share, i.e. €3 million). In 2019, an impairment loss for RMB 1,364 had been recorded (RMB 682 million in PSA share, i.e. €87 million).

In addition to these tests, Groupe PSA has performed an impairment test of its other equity method investments in the companies in partnership with the Dong Feng Motor Company Group. The recoverable amount was determined by evaluating the value in use based on cash flow forecasts. These forecasts are taken from the most recent estimations for 2020 to June 30, 2025 agreed by the partners. The terminal value is determined with reference to the data in the final years of the plan considering a growth rate to infinity of 2.6% (the same as in 2019). The future cash flows are discounted using an after-tax rate of 12.5% for 2020 to June 30, 2025 (12.5% in 2019) and 12.5% for the terminal value.

The sensitivity tests on volumes (-5% for the years 2021 to 2023), on change in operating profit (-0.5%) and on discount rate (+0.5%) would not result in the recognition of any additional impairment loss.

The above is an extract only. For details, please refer to the full text of the PSA Financial Statements which are disclosed on the website of PSA at www.groupe-psa.com

The financial information in this announcement for the JCEs is based on the financial data prepared by PSA. Shareholders and investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
