Angolan yard

The Brazilian market continues to face a downturn related to economic and political factors. The adverse changes in the economic environment in the market to which the Brazilian yard is dedicated is considered as a triggering event and thus an impairment test of Company’s net investment in the joint ventures owning the Brazilian yard has been carried out as of December 31, 2017.

The recoverable amount of the net investment in the Brazilian yard is determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions, including future market conditions, which are by essence subject to uncertainty. The key assumptions to calculate the value-in-use are as follows:

  • The calculations use cash flow projections approved by the Management Board of the Company for the next eight years, including expectations of the market development and award perspective on the FPSO and brownfield market. Management expects to see a gradual recovery of the market within the next five years.
  • The terminal value is based on the average of the 2021-2025 period (with no expected growth), the low level of activity expected on the 2018-2020 being not considered as normative.
  • The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflects the specific country and industry risk (9.4%).

As a result of the impairment test performed, the determined value-in-use is higher than the carrying amount of the net investment in the Brazilian yard as of December 31, 2017 (US$ 24 million) and no impairment has therefore been recognized.

The Company has no joint operation as per definition provided by IFRS 11 ‘Joint arrangements’.
