An impairment loss on the IT Cosmetics cash-generating unit was recorded for €254.7 million in view of adverse events, the performance not being in line with expectations. The slippage on the business plan results from the discontinuation of some very dilutive distribution channels in the United States.
The recoverable amount of the IT Cosmetics cash-generating unit was €750.8 million at the end of June 2021. The discount rate used at 31 December 2021 for this test were as follows: 7.4% for the USA and 7.8% for international.
At 31 December 2021, a 1% increase in the discount rate on all the Group’s Cash Generating Units would lead to an impairment loss risk of around €176.5 million.
A 1% decrease in the terminal growth rate on all the Group’s Cash Generating Units would lead to an impairment loss risk of around €110.9 million.
The terminal growth rate is consistent with market data, i.e.2.5% for Europe and 3% for the rest of the world.
A 1-point decrease in the margin rate over the business plan period on all the Group’s Cash Generating Units would lead to an impairment loss risk of around €44.5 million.
