42、ated fnancial statementsNote 1.Accounting policies1.1 General framework and environmentThe consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2024 were established in accordance with the international accounting standards and interpretations(IAS/IFRS)adopted by the European Union and applicable on De
43、cember 31,2024.These standards and interpretations have been applied consistently to the fiscal years presented.The consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors on January 28,2025.1.2 Changes in the accounting framework applicable to the GroupThe app
44、lication of standards,amendments and interpretations that took effect on January 1,2024 did not have a material impact on the Groups financial statements.1.3 Taking into account climate change risksThe Groups current exposure to the consequences of climate change is limited.As such,at this stage,the
45、 impact of climate change on the financial statements is not material.As part of the LIFE 360 program,which puts the environmental strategy into practice,the Group via LVMH,which comprises all of the Groups operating activities has launched a plan to transform its value chains.The implementation of
46、this program is reflected in the financial statements in the form of operating investments,research and development expenses and corporate philanthropy expenses.In addition,profit from recurring operations in particular will be affected by changes in raw material prices;production,transport and dist
47、ribution costs;and costs related to the endoflife phase of its products.The shortterm effects have been incorporated into the Groups strategic plans,which form the basis for conducting impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful lives(see Note 5).The longterm effects of these change
48、s are not quantifiable at this stage.1.4 Firsttime adoption of IFRSThe first accounts prepared by the Group in accordance with IFRS were the financial statements for the year ended December 31,2005,with a transition date of January 1,2004.IFRS 1 allowed for exceptions to the retrospective applicatio
49、n of IFRS at the transition date.The procedures implemented by the Group with respect to these exceptions include the following:business combinations:the exemption from retrospective application was not applied.The Christian Dior Group retrospectively restated acquisitions made since 1988,the date o
50、f the initial consolidation of LVMH,and all subsequent acquisitions were restated in accordance with IFRS 3.IAS 36 Impairment of Assets and IAS 38 Intangible Assets were applied retrospectively as of that date;foreign currency translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries outside the euroz
51、one:translation reserves relating to the consolidation of subsidiaries that prepare their accounts in foreign currency were reset to zero as of January 1,2004 and offset against“Other reserves”.1.5 Presentation of the financial statementsDefinitionsof“Profitfromrecurringoperations”and“Otheroperating
52、incomeandexpenses”The Groups main business is the management and development of its brands and trade names.“Profit from recurring operations”is derived from these activities,whether they are recurring or nonrecurring,core or incidental transactions.“Other operating income and expenses”comprises inco
53、me statement items,which due to their nature,amount or frequency may not be considered inherent to the Groups recurring operations or its profit from recurring operations.This caption reflects in particular the impact of changes in the scope of consolidation,the impairment of goodwill,and the impair
54、ment and amortization of brands and trade names.It also includes any significant amounts relating to the impact of certain unusual transactions,such as gains or losses arising on the disposal of fixed assets,restructuring costs,costs in respect of disputes,or any other nonrecurring income or expense
55、 that may otherwise distort the comparability of profit from recurring operations from one period to the next.Consolidated financial statements as of December 31,20249Consolidated fnancial statementsNotes to the consolidated fnancial statementsCashflowstatementNet cash from operating activities is d
56、etermined on the basis of operating profit,adjusted for noncash transactions.In addition:dividends received are presented according to the nature of the underlying investments,thus in“Net cash from operating activities”for dividends from joint ventures and associates and in“Net cash from financial i
57、nvestments”for dividends from other unconsolidated entities;tax paid is presented according to the nature of the transaction from which it arises,thus in“Net cash from operating activities”for the portion attributable to operating transactions;in“Net cash from financial investments”for the portion a
58、ttributable to transactions in available for sale financial assets,notably tax paid on gains from their sale;and in“Net cash from transactions relating to equity”for the portion attributable to transactions in equity,notably distribution taxes arising on the payment of dividends.1.6 Use of estimates
59、For the purpose of preparing the consolidated financial statements,the measurement of certain balance sheet and income statement items requires the use of assumptions,estimates or other forms of judgment.This is particularly true of the valuation of intangible assets(see Notes 1.16 and 5);the measur
60、ement of leases(see Notes 1.15 and 7)and purchase commitments for minority interests shares(see Notes 1.13 and 21);the determination of the amount of provisions for contingencies and losses,and uncertain tax positions(see Note 20)or for impairment of inventories(see Notes 1.18 and 11);and,if applica
61、ble,deferred tax assets(see Note 28).Such assumptions,estimates or other forms of judgment made on the basis of the information available or the situation prevailing at the date at which the financial statements are prepared may subsequently prove different from actual events.1.7 Methods of consolid
62、ationThe subsidiaries in which the Group holds a direct or indirect de facto or de jure controlling interest are fully consolidated.Jointly controlled companies and companies where the Group has significant influence but no controlling interest are accounted for using the equity method.Although join
63、tly controlled,those entities are fully integrated within the Groups operating activities.The Group discloses their net profit as well as that of entities using the equity method(see Note 8)on a separate line,which forms part of profit from recurring operations.When an investment in a joint venture
64、or associate accounted for using the equity method involves a payment tied to meeting specific performance targets,known as an earnout payment,the estimated amount of this payment is included in the initial purchase price recorded in the balance sheet,with an offsetting entry under financial liabili
65、ties.Any difference between the initial estimate and the actual payment made is recorded as part of the value of investments in joint ventures and associates,without any impact on the income statement.The assets,liabilities,income and expenses of the Wines and Spirits distribution subsidiaries held
66、jointly with the Diageo group are consolidated only in proportion to the Groups share of operations(see Note 1.27).The consolidation on an individual or collective basis of companies that are not consolidated(see“Companies not included in the scope of consolidation”)would not have a significant impa
67、ct on the Groups main aggregates.1.8 Foreign currency translation of the financial statements of entities outside the eurozoneThe consolidated financial statements are presented in euros;the financial statements of entities presented in a different functional currency are translated into euros:at th
68、e periodend exchange rates for balance sheet items;at the average rates for the period for income statement items.Translation adjustments arising from the application of these rates are recorded in equity under“Cumulative translation adjustment”.In the event of hyperinflation,IAS 29 is applied.1.9 F
69、oreign currency transactions and hedging of exchange rate risksTransactions of consolidated companies denominated in a currency other than their functional currencies are translated to their functional currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates.Accounts receivable,accounts
70、payable and debts denominated in currencies other than the entities functional currencies are translated at the applicable exchange rates at the fiscal yearend.Gains and losses resulting from this translation are recognized:within“Cost of sales”for commercial transactions;within“Net financial income
71、/(expense)”for financial transactions.Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the translation or elimination of intraGroup transactions or receivables and payables denominated in currencies other than the entitys functional currency are recorded in the income statement unless they relate to l
72、ongterm intraGroup financing transactions,which can be considered equityrelated transactions.In the latter case,translation adjustments are recorded in equity under“Cumulative translation adjustment”.10Consolidated financial statements as of December 31,2024Consolidated fnancial statementsNotes to t
73、he consolidated fnancial statementsDerivatives used to hedge commercial,financial or investment transactions are recognized in the balance sheet at their market value(see Note 1.10)at the balance sheet date.Changes in the value of the effective portions of these derivatives are recognized as follows
74、:for hedges that are commercial in nature:within“Cost of sales”for hedges of receivables and payables recognized in the balance sheet at the end of the period,within equity under“Revaluation reserves”for hedges of future cash flows;this amount is transferred to cost of sales upon recognition of the
75、hedged trade receivables and payables;for hedges relating to the acquisition of fixed assets:within equity under“Revaluation reserves”for hedges of future cash flows;this amount is transferred to the asset side of the balance sheet,as part of the initial cost of the hedged item when accounting for t
76、he latter,and then to the income statement in the event of the disposal or impairment of the hedged item;for hedges that are tied to the Groups investment portfolio(hedging the net worth of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the euro):within equity under“Cumulative translation adjustment”
77、;this amount is transferred to the income statement upon the sale or liquidation(whether partial or total)of the subsidiary whose net worth is hedged;for hedges that are financial in nature:within“Net financial income/(expense)”,under“Other financial income and expenses”.Changes in the value of thes
78、e derivatives related to forward points associated with forward contracts,as well as in the time value component of options,are recognized as follows:for hedges that are commercial in nature:within equity under“Revaluation reserves”.The cost of the forward contracts(forward points)and of the options
79、(premiums)is transferred to“Cost of foreign exchange derivatives”within“Net financial income/(expense)”upon realization of the hedged transaction;for hedges that are tied to the Groups investment portfolio or financial in nature:expenses and income arising from discounts or premiums are recognized i
80、n“Borrowing costs”on a pro rata basis over the term of the hedging instruments.The difference between the amounts recognized in“Net financial income/(expense)”and the change in the value of forward points is recognized in equity under“Revaluation reserves”.Market value changes of derivatives not des
81、ignated as hedges are recorded within“Net financial income/(expense)”.See also Note 1.22 for the definition of the concepts of effective and ineffective portions.1.10 Fair value measurementFair value(or market value)is the price that would be obtained from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a
82、liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.The assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are as follows:ApproachestodeterminingfairvalueAmountsrecordedatbalancesheetdateVineyard landBased on recent transactions in similar assets.See Note 1.14.Note 6Grape

87、ble assetsOnly acquired brands and trade names that are well known and individually identifiable are recorded as assets based on their market values at their dates of acquisition.Brands and trade names are chiefly valued using the forecast discounted cash flow method,or based on comparable transacti
88、ons(i.e.using the revenue and net profit coefficients employed for recent transactions involving similar brands)or stock market multiples observed for related businesses.Other complementary methods may also be employed:the relief from royalty method,involving equating a brands value with the present
89、 value of the royalties required to be paid for its use;the margin differential method,applicable when a measurable difference can be identified in the amount of revenue generated by a branded product in comparison with a similar unbranded product;and finally the equivalent brand reconstitution meth
90、od involving,in particular,estimation of the amount of advertising and promotion expenses required to generate a similar brand.Costs incurred in creating a new brand or developing an existing brand are expensed.Brands,trade names and other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized ove
91、r their estimated useful lives.The classification of a brand or trade name as an asset of finite or indefinite useful life is generally based on the following criteria:the brand or trade names overall positioning in its market expressed in terms of volume of activity,international presence and reput
92、ation;its expected longterm profitability;its degree of exposure to changes in the economic environment;any major event within its business segment liable to compromise its future development;its age.Amortizable lives of brands and trade names with finite useful lives range from 5 to 20 years,depend
93、ing on their anticipated period of use.Impairment tests are carried out for brands,trade names and other intangible assets using the methodology described in Note 1.16.Research expenditure is not capitalized.New product development expenditure is not capitalized unless the final decision has been ma
94、de to launch the product.Intangible assets other than brands and trade names are amortized over the following periods:rights attached to sponsorship agreements and media partnerships are amortized over the life of the agreements,depending on how the rights are used;development expenditure is amortiz
95、ed over 3 years at most;software and websites are amortized over 1 to 5 years.1.12 Changes in ownership interests in consolidated entitiesWhen the Group takes de jure or de facto control of a business,its assets,liabilities and contingent liabilities are estimated at their market value as of the dat
96、e when control is obtained;the difference between the cost of taking control and the Groups share of the market value of those assets,liabilities and contingent liabilities is recognized as goodwill.The cost of taking control is the price paid by the Group in the context of an acquisition,or an esti
97、mate of this price if the transaction is carried out without any payment of cash,excluding acquisition costs,which are disclosed under“Other operating income and expenses”.The difference between the carrying amount of minority interests purchased after control is obtained and the price paid for thei
98、r acquisition is deducted from equity.Goodwill is accounted for in the functional currency of the acquired entity.Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to annual impairment testing using the methodology described in Note 1.16.Any impairment expense recognized is included within“Other operating in
99、come and expenses”.1.13 Purchase commitments for minority interests sharesThe Group has granted put options to minority shareholders of certain fully consolidated subsidiaries.Pending specific guidance from IFRSs regarding this issue,the Group recognizes these commitments as follows:the value of the
100、 commitment at the balance sheet date appears in“Purchase commitments for minority interests shares”,as a liability on its balance sheet;the corresponding minority interests are canceled;for commitments granted prior to January 1,2010,the difference between the amount of the commitments and canceled
101、 minority interests is maintained as an asset on the balance sheet under goodwill,as are subsequent changes in this difference.For commitments granted as from January 1,2010,the difference between the amount of the commitments and minority interests is deducted from equity,under“Other reserves”.This
102、 recognition method has no effect on the presentation of minority interests within the income statement.12Consolidated financial statements as of December 31,2024Consolidated fnancial statementsNotes to the consolidated fnancial statements1.14 Property,plant and equipmentWith the exception of vineya
103、rd land,the gross value of property,plant and equipment is stated at acquisition cost.Vineyard land is recognized at the market value at the balance sheet date.This valuation is based on official published data for recent transactions in the same region.Any difference compared to historical cost is
104、recognized within equity in“Revaluation reserves”.If the market value falls below the acquisition cost,the resulting impairment is charged to the income statement.Buildings mostly occupied by third parties are reported as investment property,at acquisition cost.Investment property is thus not remeas
105、ured at market value.The depreciable amount of property,plant and equipment comprises the acquisition cost of their components less residual value,which corresponds to the estimated disposal price of the asset at the end of its useful life.Property,plant and equipment are depreciated on a straightli
106、ne basis over their estimated useful lives.For leased assets,the depreciation period cannot be longer than that used for the calculation of the lease liability.The estimated useful lives are as follows:buildings including investment property:20 to 100 years;machinery and equipment:3 to 25 years;leas
107、ehold improvements:3 to 10 years;producing vineyards:18 to 25 years.Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged to the income statement as incurred.1.15 LeasesThe Group has applied IFRS 16 Leases since January 1,2019.The initial application was carried out using the“modified retrospective”appro
108、ach to transition.See Note 1.2 to the 2019 consolidated financial statements for details of this initial application procedure for IFRS 16 and the impact of its initial application on the 2019 financial statements.When entering into a lease,a liability is recognized in the balance sheet,measured at
109、the discounted present value of future payments of the fixed portion of lease payments and offset against a rightofuse asset depreciated over the lease term.The amount of the liability depends to a large degree on the assumptions used for the lease term and,to a lesser extent,the discount rate.The G
110、roups extensive geographic coverage means it encounters a wide range of different legal conditions when entering into contracts.The lease term generally used to calculate the liability is the term of the initially negotiated lease,not taking into account any early termination options,except in speci
111、al circumstances.When leases contain extension options,the term used for the calculation of the liability may include these periods,mainly when the anticipated period of use of the fixed assets,whether under a new or existing lease,is greater than the initial contractual lease term.The lease term to
112、 be used in accounting for lease liabilities when the underlying assets are capitalized even though the obligation to make lease payments covers a period of less than twelve months is consistent with the anticipated period of use of the invested assets.Most often,this involves leases for retail loca
113、tions that are automatically renewable on an annual basis.The standard requires that the discount rate be determined for each lease using the incremental borrowing rate of the subsidiary entering into the lease.In practice,given the structure of the Groups financing virtually all of which is held or
114、 guaranteed by LVMH SE this incremental borrowing rate is generally the total of the riskfree rate for the currency of the lease,with reference to its term,and the Groups credit risk for this same currency and over the same term.Leasehold rights and property,plant and equipment related to restoratio
115、n obligations for leased facilities are presented within“Rightofuse assets”and subject to depreciation under the same principles as those described above.The Group has implemented a dedicated IT solution to gather lease data and run the calculations required by the standard.Since the application of
116、IFRS 16 had a significant impact on the cash flow statement given the importance of fixed lease payments to the Groups activities,specific indicators are used for internal performance monitoring requirements and financial communication purposes in order to present consistent performance measures,ind
117、ependently of the fixed or variable nature of lease payments.One such alternative performance measure is“Operating free cash flow”,which is calculated by deducting capitalized fixed lease payments in their entirety from cash flow.The reconciliation between“Net cash from operating activities”and“Oper
118、ating free cash flow”is presented in the consolidated cash flow statement.1.16 Impairment testing of fixed assetsProperty,plant and equipment,intangible assets,and all leased fixed assets are subject to impairment testing whenever there is any indication that an asset may be impaired(particularly fo
119、llowing major changes in the assets operating conditions),and in any event at least annually in the case of intangible assets with indefinite useful lives(mainly brands,trade names and goodwill).When the carrying amount of assets with indefinite useful lives is greater than the higher of their value
120、 in use or market value,the resulting impairment loss is recognized within“Other operating income and expenses”,allocated on a priority basis to any existing goodwill.Consolidated financial statements as of December 31,202413Consolidated fnancial statementsNotes to the consolidated fnancial statemen
121、tsValue in use is based on the present value of the cash flows expected to be generated by these assets,taking into account their residual value.Market value is estimated by comparison with recent similar transactions or on the basis of valuations performed by independent experts for the purposes of
122、 a disposal transaction.Cash flows are forecast at Group level for each business segment,defined as one or several brands or trade names under the responsibility of a dedicated management team;in general,a business segment as defined above corresponds to a Maison within the Group.Smallerscale cashge
123、nerating units,such as a group of stores,may be distinguished within a particular business segment.The forecast data required for the discounted cash flow method is based on annual budgets and multiyear business plans prepared by the management of the business segments concerned.Detailed forecasts c
124、over a fiveyear period,which may be extended for brands undergoing strategic repositioning or whose production cycle exceeds five years.An estimated terminal value is added to the value resulting from discounted forecast cash flows,which corresponds to the capitalization in perpetuity of cash flows
125、most often arising from the last year of the plan.Discount rates are set for each business group with reference to companies engaged in comparable businesses.Forecast cash flows are discounted on the basis of the rate of return to be expected by an investor in the applicable business and an assessme
126、nt of the risk premium associated with that business.When several forecast scenarios are developed,the probability of occurrence of each scenario is assessed.1.17 Available for sale financial assetsAvailable for sale financial assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on their type.Noncur
127、rent available for sale financial assets comprise strategic and nonstrategic investments whose estimated period and form of ownership justify such classification.Current available for sale financial assets(presented in“Other current assets”;see Note 13)include temporary investments in shares,shares
128、of SICAVs,FCPs and other mutual funds,excluding investments made as part of daytoday cash management,which are accounted for as“Cash and cash equivalents”(see Note 1.20).Available for sale financial assets are measured at their listed value at the fiscal yearend date in the case of quoted investment
129、s,and in the case of unquoted investments at their estimated net realizable value,assessed either according to formulas based on market data or based on private quotations at the fiscal yearend date.Positive or negative changes in value are recognized under“Net financial income/(expense)”(within“Oth
130、er financial income and expenses”;see Note 27)for all shares held in the portfolio during the reported periods.By way of exception,changes in the value of noncurrent available for sale financial assets may be recognized within“Other items of comprehensive income,not transferable to income statement”
131、.At its level,Christian Dior integrates data from the LVMH Group without restatement.Regarding its own available for sale financial assets,as it is authorized to do under IFRS 9,Christian Dior reserves the right to choose,for each accounting item,the method for recognizing their change in market val
132、ue:either within“Net financial income/(expense)”or directly in equity.1.18 Inventories and work in progressInventories other than wine produced by the Group are recorded at the lower of cost(excluding interest expense)and net realizable value;cost comprises manufacturing cost(finished goods)or purch
133、ase price,plus incidental costs(raw materials,merchandise).Wine produced by the Group,including champagne,is measured on the basis of the applicable harvest market value,which is determined by reference to the average purchase price of equivalent grapes,as if the grapes harvested had been purchased
134、from third parties.Until the date of the harvest,the value of grapes is calculated on a pro rata basis,in line with the estimated yield and market value.Inventories are valued using either the weighted average cost or the FIFO method,depending on the type of business.Due to the length of the aging p
135、rocess required for champagnes,spirits(cognac,whisky and rum,in particular)and wines,the holding period for these inventories generally exceeds one year.However,in accordance with industry practices,these inventories are classified as current assets.Provisions for impairment of inventories are chief
136、ly recognized for businesses other than Wines and Spirits.They are generally required because of product obsolescence(end of season or collection,expiration date approaching,etc.)or lack of sales prospects.1.19 Trade accounts receivable,loans and other receivablesTrade accounts receivable,loans and
137、other receivables are recorded at amortized cost,which corresponds to their face value.Impairment is recognized for the portion of loans and receivables not covered by credit insurance when such receivables are recorded,in the amount of the losses expected upon maturity.This reflects the probability
138、 of counterparty default and the expected loss rate,measured using historical statistical data,information provided by credit bureaus,or ratings by credit rating agencies,depending on the specific case.The amount of longterm loans and receivables(i.e.those falling due in more than one year)is subjec
139、t to discounting,the effects of which are recognized under“Net financial income/(expense)”,using the effective interest method.14Consolidated financial statements as of December 31,2024Consolidated fnancial statementsNotes to the consolidated fnancial statements1.20 Cash and cash equivalentsCash and
140、 cash equivalents comprise cash and highly liquid moneymarket investments subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value over time.Moneymarket investments are measured at their market value,based on price quotations at the close of trading and on the exchange rate prevailing at the fiscal year
141、end date,with any changes in value recognized as part of“Net financial income/(expense)”.1.21 ProvisionsA provision is recognized whenever an obligation exists towards a third party resulting in a probable disbursement for the Group,the amount of which may be reliably estimated.See also Notes 1.25 a
142、nd 20.If the date at which this obligation is to be discharged is in more than one year,the provision amount is discounted,the effects of which are recognized in“Net financial income/(expense)”using the effective interest method.1.22 BorrowingsBorrowings are measured at amortized cost,i.e.nominal va
143、lue net of issue premiums and issuance costs,which are charged over time to“Net financial income/(expense)”using the effective interest method.In the case of hedging against fluctuations in the value of borrowings resulting from changes in interest rates,both the hedged amount of borrowings and the
144、related hedging instruments are measured at their market value at the balance sheet date,with any changes in those values recognized within“Net financial income/(expense)”,under“Fair value adjustment of borrowings and interest rate hedges”.See Note 1.10 regarding the measurement of hedged borrowings
145、 at market value.Interest income and expenses related to hedging instruments are recognized within“Net financial income/(expense)”,under“Borrowing costs”.In the case of hedging against fluctuations in future interest payments,the related borrowings remain measured at their amortized cost while any c
146、hanges in value of the effective hedge portions are taken to equity as part of“Revaluation reserves”.Changes in value of nonhedging derivatives,and of the ineffective portions of hedges,are recognized within“Net financial income/(expense)”.Net financial debt comprises short and longterm borrowings,t
147、he market value at the balance sheet date of interest rate derivatives,less the amount at the balance sheet date of noncurrent available for sale financial assets used to hedge financial debt,current available for sale financial assets,cash and cash equivalents,in addition to the market value at tha
148、t date of foreign exchange derivatives related to any of the aforementioned items.1.23 DerivativesThe Group enters into derivative transactions as part of its strategy for hedging foreign exchange,interest rate and precious metal price risks.To hedge against commercial,financial and investment forei
149、gn exchange risk,the Group uses options,forward contracts,foreign exchange swaps and crosscurrency swaps.The time value of options,the forward point component of forward contracts and foreign exchange swaps,as well as the foreign currency basis spread component of crosscurrency swaps are systematica
150、lly excluded from the hedge relation.Consequently,only the intrinsic value of the instruments is considered a hedging instrument.Regarding hedged items(future foreign currency cash flows,commercial or financial liabilities and accounts receivable in foreign currencies,subsidiaries equity denominated
151、 in a functional currency other than the euro),only their change in value in respect of foreign exchange risk is considered a hedged item.As such,aligning the hedging instruments main features(nominal values,currencies,maturities)with those of the hedged items makes it possible to perfectly offset c
152、hanges in value.Derivatives are recognized in the balance sheet at their market value at the balance sheet date.Changes in their value are accounted for as described in Note 1.9 in the case of foreign exchange hedges and as described in Note 1.22 in the case of interest rate hedges.Market value is b
153、ased on market data and commonly used valuation models.Derivatives with maturities in excess of 12 months are disclosed as noncurrent assets and liabilities.1.24 Christian Dior and LVMH treasury sharesChristianDiortreasurysharesChristian Dior shares held by the Group are measured at their acquisitio
154、n cost and recognized as a deduction from consolidated equity,irrespective of the purpose for which they are held.In the event of disposal,the cost of the shares disposed of is determined by allocation category(see Note 16.3)using the FIFO method,with the exception of shares held under stock option
155、plans,for which the calculation is performed for each plan using the weighted average cost method.Gains and losses on disposal,net of income taxes,are taken directly to equity.Consolidated financial statements as of December 31,202415Consolidated fnancial statementsNotes to the consolidated fnancial
156、 statementsLVMHtreasurysharesPurchases and sales by LVMH of its own shares,as well as LVMH SE capital increases reserved for recipients of share subscription options,resulting in changes in the percentage held by the Christian Dior Group in LVMH,are accounted for in the consolidated financial statem
157、ents of the Christian Dior Group as changes in ownership interests in consolidated entities.As from January 1,2010,in accordance with the revised version of IFRS 3,changes in the Christian Dior Groups ownership interest in LVMH have been taken to equity.As this standard is applied prospectively,good
158、will recognized as of December 31,2009 has been maintained as an asset on the balance sheet.1.25 Pensions,contribution to medical costs and other employee benefit commitmentsWhen plans related to retirement bonuses,pensions,contributions to medical costs,or other employee benefit commitments entail
159、the payment by the Group of contributions to thirdparty organizations that assume sole responsibility for subsequently paying such retirement bonuses,pensions or contributions to medical costs,these contributions are expensed in the fiscal year in which they fall due,with no liability recorded on th
160、e balance sheet.When the payment of retirement bonuses,pensions,contributions to medical costs,or other employee benefit commitments is to be borne by the Group,a provision is recorded in the balance sheet in the amount of the corresponding actuarial commitment(see Note 30).Changes in this provision
161、 are recognized as follows:the portion related to the cost of services rendered by employees and net interest for the fiscal year is recognized in profit from recurring operations for the fiscal year;the portion related to changes in actuarial assumptions and to differences between projected and act
162、ual data(experience adjustments)is recognized in gains and losses taken to equity.If this commitment is partially or fully funded by payments made by the Group to external financial organizations,these dedicated funds are deducted from the actuarial commitment recorded in the balance sheet.The actua
163、rial commitment is calculated based on assessments that are specifically designed for the country and the Group company concerned.In particular,these assessments include assumptions regarding discount rates,salary increases,inflation,life expectancy and staff turnover.1.26 Current and deferred taxTh
164、e tax expense comprises current tax payable by consolidated companies,deferred tax resulting from temporary differences,and the change in uncertain tax positions.Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences arising between the value of assets and liabilities for purposes of consoli
165、dation and the value resulting from the application of tax regulations.Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the income tax rates enacted at the balance sheet date;the effect of changes in rates is recognized during the periods in which changes are enacted.Future tax savings from tax losses carri
166、ed forward are recorded as deferred tax assets on the balance sheet and impaired if they are deemed not recoverable;only amounts for which future use is deemed probable are recognized.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.Taxes payable in respect of the distribution of retained earn
167、ings of subsidiaries give rise to provisions if distribution is deemed probable.1.27 Revenue recognitionDefinitionofrevenueRevenue mainly comprises retail sales within the Groups store network(including ecommerce websites)and wholesale sales through agents and distributors.Sales made in stores owned
168、 by third parties are treated as retail transactions if the risks and rewards of ownership of the inventories are retained by the Group.Direct sales to customers are mostly made through retail stores in Fashion and Leather Goods and Selective Retailing,as well as certain Watches and Jewelry and Perf
169、umes and Cosmetics brands.The Group recognizes revenue when title transfers to thirdparty customers,which is generally at the time of purchase by retail customers.Wholesale sales mainly concern the Wines and Spirits businesses,as well as certain Perfumes and Cosmetics and Watches and Jewelry brands.
170、The Group recognizes revenue when title transfers to thirdparty customers.Revenue includes shipment and transportation costs rebilled to customers only when these costs are included in products selling prices as a lump sum.Sales of services,mainly involved in the Groups“Other activities”segment,are
171、recognized as the services are provided.Revenue is presented net of all forms of discount.In particular,payments made in order to have products referenced or,in accordance with agreements,to participate in advertising campaigns with the distributors,are deducted from related revenue.16Consolidated f
172、inancial statements as of December 31,2024Consolidated fnancial statementsNotes to the consolidated fnancial statementsProvisionsforproductreturnsPerfumes and Cosmetics companies and,to a lesser extent,Fashion and Leather Goods and Watches and Jewelry companies may accept the return of unsold or out
173、dated products from their customers and distributors.Retail sales,and in particular online sales,also result in product returns from customers.Where these practices are applied,revenue is reduced by the estimated amount of such returns,and a provision is recognized within“Other current liabilities”(
174、see Note 22.2),along with a corresponding entry made to inventories.The estimated rate of returns is based on historical statistical data.BusinessesundertakeninpartnershipwithDiageoA significant proportion of revenue for the Groups Wines and Spirits businesses is generated within the framework of di
175、stribution agreements with Diageo,generally taking the form of shared entities that sell and deliver both groups products to customers.The income statement and balance sheet of these entities is apportioned between the Group and Diageo based on distribution agreements.According to those agreements,t
176、he assets,liabilities,income and expenses of such entities are consolidated only in proportion to the Groups share of operations.1.28 Advertising and promotion expensesAdvertising and promotion expenses include the costs of producing advertising media,purchasing media space,manufacturing samples,pub
177、lishing catalogs and,in general,the cost of all activities designed to promote the Groups brands and products.Advertising and promotion expenses are recorded within marketing and selling expenses upon receipt or production of goods or upon completion of services rendered.1.29 Bonus share and similar
178、 plansThe expected gain for bonus share plans is calculated on the basis of the closing share price on the day before the Board of Directors meeting at which the plan is instituted,less the amount of dividends expected to accrue during the vesting period.For any bonus share plans subject to performa
179、nce conditions,the expense for the fiscal year includes provisional allocations for which the conditions are deemed likely to be met.For all plans,the amortization expense is apportioned on a straightline basis in the income statement over the vesting period,with a corresponding impact on reserves i
180、n the balance sheet.For any cashsettled compensation plans indexlinked to the change in the LVMH share price,the gain over the vesting period is estimated at each balance sheet date based on the LVMH share price at that date and is charged to the income statement on a pro rata basis over the vesting
181、 period,with a corresponding balance sheet impact on provisions.Between that date and the settlement date,the change in the expected gain resulting from the change in the LVMH share price is recorded in the income statement.For the LVMH Shares plan,the fair value of the benefit granted to employees(
182、discount and matching employer contribution)is calculated on the basis of the share price on the date the shares are allocated.1.30 Earnings per shareEarnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal year,excluding treasury shares.Where ap
183、plicable,diluted earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares before dilution.Dilutive instruments issued by subsidiaries are also taken into consideration for the purposes of determining the Groups share of net profit after dilution.Consolidated financial stateme
