9.5.3 Analysis of risks related to financial instruments RATE RISKS
amount of interest at variable rates, calculated on a nominal loan amount agreed between the parties. These swaps are assigned to loan hedging. The Group enters into interest rates swaps where the critical terms match exactly with the terms of the hedged item. Therefore, the hedging relationship is qualified as 100% effective. If changes in the circumstances affect the terms of the hedged item such that the critical terms no longer match exactly with the critical terms of the hedging instrument, the Group uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess the amount of ineffectiveness. Hedge ineffectiveness may occur due to: ◆ the value adjustment on the interest rate swaps which is not matched by the hedged item; and ◆ differences in critical terms between the interest rate swaps and the loans hedged.
In addition to its available cash flow, the Group resorts to debt to finance its investment program. The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk is essentially a result from its financial debt, and to a lesser extent its portfolio of rates derivatives. The risk rate relating to the debt is managed by modulating the respective proportions of fixed rates and variable rates in line with market developments. The management of this risk depends on the implementation or cancellation of interest rate operations (swaps). The Group’s policy consists of managing its interest charge by using a combination of fixed rate and variable rate loans. The Group’s policy is that 50% to 100% of its debt should be at fixed rates. In line with this objective, the Group puts in place interest rate swaps through which it exchanges, at specific intervals, the difference between the amount of interest at fixed rates and the

The Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt. To hedge this risk, it enters into floating-rate lender fixed-rate borrower swaps backed by its floating-rate financing. The hedging relationships are designated as “cash flow hedges”. As of 31 December 2022, these hedging relationships are carried by the following entities: TAV Airports and AIG.
The portfolio of non-hedging derivatives is made up exclusively of return swaps with a fixed margin. This part of the derivatives portfolio is therefore not very sensitive to change in interest rates. An immediate 1% decrease in interest rates as at 31 December 2022 would not result in a significant increase in the fair value of derivatives.
