Automotive production grew by 4.7% between 2015 and 2016. It grew in all regions of the world with the exception of South America.
Thus, light vehicle production grew by 2.8% in Europe and by 2.0% in North America. It also grew in Asia, where production increased
by 7.2%. Conversely, production fell by 10.0% in South America (source: IHS Automotive January 2017).
Following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2015 with Plastic Omnium, the Automotive Exteriors business was sold on
July 29, 2016. However, the composite business (Faurecia Composite Technologies), the Faurecia plant for Smart in Hambach (France)
and two joint ventures in Brazil and China (those entities are consolidated by equity method) were not included in the MoU.
Upon application of accounting rule IFRS 5, the assets and liabilities sold as well as net income (loss) from discontinued operations
have been isolated in distinct lines in the consolidated balance sheet and in the income statement (Chapter 2 “Consolidated financial
statements”).
All the results presented below are after application of IFRS 5 for 2015 and 2016.
The consolidated sales for 2016 totaled €18,710.5 million, compared to €18,770.4 million in 2015. On a reported basis, Faurecia’s
consolidated sales between 2015 and 2016 decreased by 0.3%. On a like-for-like basis, sales increased by 2.6% compared to 2015,
with an increase of 3.4% in the first half of the year and a growth of 1.8% in the second half of the year.
Sales of products (parts and components delivered to manufacturers) reached €14,247.1 million compared to €14,218.7 million in
2015. This represented 0.2% growth on a reported basis. On a like-for-like basis, sales increased by 3.6% (4.2% in the first half, 3.1%
in the second).
Sales of tooling, R&D, prototypes and other services totaled €1,366.5 million, versus €1,247.3 million in 2015. This represented a 9.6%
growth on a reported basis. On a like-for-like basis, they increased by 11.1%.
Catalytic converter monolith sales (1), products mandated by the customers on which Faurecia is acting as an agent reached
€3,096.9 million in 2016, compared to €3,304.4 million in 2015. They were down by 6.3% on a reported basis and by 5.2% on a like-for-
like basis, resulting from a 4.0% decline in the first half-year and a 6.5% decline in the second half-year mainly due to the fall in the
price of precious metals included in monoliths.
Value added sales (which are total sales excluding monoliths and which reflect the real activity) in 2016 reached €15,613.6 million,
compared to €15,466.0 million in 2015, or an increase of 1.0% on a reported basis. On a like-for-like basis, value added sales increased
by 4.3% compared to 2015, with an increase of 5.0% in the first half-year and 3.5% in the second.
Furthermore, in order to keep up with the market trend toward more air quality regulations and fuel savings, the Emissions Control
Technologies business has become the Clean Mobility business.

Operating income for 2016 was €970.2 million (5.2% of total sales), compared to €830.0 million for 2015 (4.4% of total sales) (see Note 4).
Operating income for 2016 also accounted for 6.2% of value added sales compared to 5.4% in 2015. This figure reflects the real
profitability of the Group.
The €140.2 million increase in operating income over the full year 2016 compared to 2015 breaks down as follows:
cc in Europe, the increase in sales allowed for an improvement of €67.3 million in operating income. This brought operating income to
4.6% of total sales compared to 3.9% in 2015;
cc in North America, lower sales were offset by an improvement in operational efficiency leading to an increase in operating income
of €25.4 million. Operating income stood at 4.6% of total sales, up compared to 3.9% in 2015;
cc in spite of difficult economic and financial conditions, South America finished with an increase of €18.9 million in operating income

8.0% of total sales compared to 3.4% in 2015.
cc upon application of accounting rule IFRS 5, the exclusion of the recharge of selling and administrative expenses to discontinued
operations (period January 1 to July 29) generated a non-recurring charge of €15,2 million in 2016 to be compared to €15,1 million
in 2015.
In the second half of 2016, operating income totaled €479.9 million (5.2% of total sales). In the second half of 2015, operating income
was €446.3 million (4.8% of total sales).
The €33.6 million increase in operating income in the second half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 is due to:
cc in Europe, operating income was relatively stable at €185.9 million, a decrease of €1.8 million. It represented an increase to 4.1% of
total sales compared to 4.0% in the second half of 2015;
cc in North America, operating income was impacted in the second half-year by the start-up of new programs. It declined by €18.9 million

1.4. Outlook*
2017: Faurecia set on New Trajectory, well positioned to achieve
2018 profitable growth objectives
At its Investor Day in April 2016, Faurecia outlined its New Trajectory 2016-2018, its strategic priorities aligned with the automotive
market megatrends. The Group will accelerate profitable growth and focus on Sustainable Mobility and Smart life on board. This
strategy is symbolized in the new visual identity of the Group and its tagline: inspiring mobility (see separate press release).
The Group announced the following targets for 2018:
cc 6% value-added sales growth 2016-2018 (400 bp above automotive production growth);
cc operating margin of 7% on value-added sales;
cc net cash flow above 500 million euros;
cc earnings per share of €5.0.
The Group’s order intake (3 year rolling) of €53 billion is up €6 billion compared to 2015. On this basis Faurecia is confident that profitable
growth will accelerate from 2017 onwards. Particularly important will be the growth with Chinese OEMs which will represent 20% of
sales in China by 2018 and commercial vehicle sales which will double by 2020.
Faurecia fully confirms its 2018 objectives.
2017 guidance
In this environment the Group confirms its 2018 objectives and has issued the following guidance for full year 2017
cc value-added sales growth at constant currencies: +6% or +400 bp above LV production;
cc an operating margin (on value-added sales) between 6.4% and 6.8%;
cc net cash flow of minimum €350 million;
cc EPS around €4.0.
The strategic priorities for the Group in 2017 are to accelerate technology for Sustainable Mobility and Smart life on board. This will be
achieved through investments in start-ups, partnerships and acquisitions. In 2016 the Group invested in five start ups and initiated the
acquisition of Parrot Automotive. This deal is expected to close during the first quarter of 2017. It also acquired Amminex to accelerate
efficient nitrogen oxide emissions reduction for passenger and commercial vehicles. The Group’s operating margin improvement
will be driven by technology and the three efficiency initiatives: Global Business Services, R&D efficiency and Digital transformation.

CONTENTS
Faurecia S.A. and its subsidiaries (“Faurecia”) form one of the world’s leading automotive equipment suppliers
in three vehicle businesses: Automotive Seating, Clean Mobility and Interior Systems.
Faurecia’s registered office is located in Nanterre, in the Hauts-de-Seine department of France. The Company
is quoted on the Eurolist market of Euronext Paris.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by Faurecia’s Board of Directors on February 8, 2017.
The accounts were prepared on a going concern basis.
The consolidated financial statements of the Faurecia group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) published by the IASB, as adopted by the European Union and available on the European Commission website:
http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_fr.htm
These standards include International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards (IAS), as well as the
related International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) interpretations.
The standards used to prepare the 2016 consolidated financial statements and comparative data for 2015 are those published in the
Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) as of December 31, 2016, whose application was mandatory at that date.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below.
Since January 1, 2016 Faurecia has applied the amendments to standards IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 38 and IFRS 11 and the amendments and
revisions to the existing standards which have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
However, Faurecia has not undertaken any early application of the new standards, amendments or interpretations whose application
is mandatory from December 31, 2016, irrespective of whether or not they are adopted by the European Union. The impact analysis of
these standards and amendments is in progress.
In particular, as regards IFRS 15, Faurecia carries out an in depth analysis of contracts and sales transactions in order to identify and
assess any change to the presentation of the sales figure and the rules for recognition over time.
As regards IFRS 16 and IFRS 9, analysis are in progress to identify the impact of the standards.
On the basis of the analysis related to IFRS15, Faurecia should operate as an agent for monoliths sales.
Indeed, these components are used in catalyst and their technical specifications are directly settled between final customer and
monoliths producer. Thus, they are bought by Faurecia to be integrated to emission control systems sold to final customers without
added value. So Faurecia would operate as an agent, then monolith sales would be recorded at net value in the income and total sales
would be only added-value sales, as defined by Faurecia.
The accounting principles applied are given in each note hereafter.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions when measuring
certain assets, liabilities, income, expenses and obligations. These estimates and assumptions are primarily used when calculating the
impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, as well as for measuring pension and other employee
benefit obligations. They are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
The results of the sensitivity tests performed on the carrying amounts of goodwill and provisions for pensions and other employee
benefits are provided in Notes 10 and 25.2, respectively. In addition, Note 11 “Intangible Assets” describes the main assumptions used
for measuring intangible assets.
However, certain companies located outside the euro or the US-dollar zone and which carry out the majority of their transactions in
euros or US dollars may, however, use euros or US dollars as their functional currency.
All material inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation, including inter-company gains.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries and companies accounted for by the equity method are not significantly different from those
applied by the Group.
Income statement
Accounting methods and principles applicable to discontinued operations are identical to those used in annual financial statements.
Balance sheet
The lines “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale” report the contribution of discontinued operations at the closing date. All
these elements have been integrally transferred as of December 31, 2016.
Following the final agreement for the sale of the Automotive Exteriors business to Plastic Omnium, the Group is now structured into
three business units based on the nature of the products and services offered:
cc Automotive Seating (design and manufacture of complete vehicle seats, seating frames and adjustment mechanisms);
cc Clean Mobility (design and manufacture of exhaust systems), including the composite business;
cc Interior Systems (design and manufacture of instrument panels, complete cockpits, door panels and modules, and acoustic systems),
including the plant in Hambach.
These business units are managed by the Group on an independent basis in terms of reviewing their individual performance and
allocating resources. The tables below show reconciliation between the indicators used to measure the performance of each segment
– notably operating income – and the consolidated financial statements. Borrowings, other operating income and expense, financial
income and expenses, and taxes are monitored at the Group level and are not allocated to the various segments.

The CICE (tax credit for competitiveness and employment) is allocated to personnel costs; it amounted to €12.7 million in 2016
(€15.2 million in 2015).
Details of expenses relating to the Group’s stock option and free shares plans and pension costs are provided in Notes 22.2 and 25,
respectively.
This table does not include allowances and reversals of provision for extraordinary items.
Restructuring
Reorganization costs (€86.3 million) include redundancy and site relocation payments for 1,824 people.
Deferred taxes are recognized using the liability method for temporary differences arising between the tax bases for assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts on the consolidated financial statements. Temporary differences mainly arise from tax loss carryforwards
and consolidation adjustments to subsidiaries’ accounts.
Deferred taxes are measured using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available in the short
or medium term against which the temporary differences or the loss carry forward can be utilized.
Where appropriate, a deferred taxes liability is booked to cover taxes payable on the distribution of retained earnings of subsidiaries
and associates which are not considered as having been permanently reinvested and for which the Group is not in a position to control
the date when the timing difference will reverse.
Corporate income tax can be analyzed as follows:
Under the 2017 Finance Act, the decrease of the tax rate has been voted in France at 28.92% from 2020. There is no significant effect
due to this decrease on long term deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016.
The assessment of the ability to recover net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016 (€252 million) is based on the Group’s
2017‑2019 strategic plan for the long-term recovery of tax losses.
Changes in deferred taxes recorded on the balance sheet break down as follows:
These impaired deferred income tax assets on loss carry forwards are mainly located from France.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during the year, excluding treasury stock. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the Group
adjusts net income attributable to owners of the parent and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all
dilutive potential ordinary shares (including stock options, free shares and convertible bonds).

(2) As of December 31, 2016, the number of stock options exercisable was 244,200 compared with 636,500 at December 31, 2015. Taking into account
the average Faurecia share price for 2016, no stock option plan has dilutive impact.
The dilutive impact of the bonds was calculated using the treasury stock method.
In relation to stock options, this method consists of comparing the number of shares that would have been issued if all outstanding
stock options had been exercised to the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (in this case the average Faurecia
share price for the year was €33.68 in 2016).

Note 10 Goodwill
In case of a business combination, the aggregate value of the acquisition is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed based on their fair value determined at their acquisition date.
A goodwill is recognized when the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree exceed the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. In accordance
with IAS 36, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least once a year and more often if there is an indication that it
may be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (CGUs). A CGU is defined as the
smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets
or groups of assets.
The CGU to which goodwill is allocated represents the level within the operating segment at which goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes. The Group has identified the following CGUs:
cc Automotive Seating;
cc Clean Mobility;
cc Automotive Interiors.
The carrying amount of assets and liabilities thus grouped is compared to the higher of its market value and value in use, which is
equal to the present value of the net future cash flows expected, and their net market value including costs of disposal.

The book value of development costs allocated to a customer contract as well as the associated specific tooling is compared to the
present value of the expected net future cash flows to be derived from the contract based on the best possible estimate of future sales.
The volumes taken into account in Faurecia’s Business Plans are the best estimates by the Group’s Marketing department based on
automakers’ forecasts when available.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost, or production cost in the case of assets produced by the Group for its own
use, less accumulated depreciation.
Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred, except when they increase productivity or prolong the useful life of an asset,
in which case they are capitalized.
In accordance with the amended version of IAS 23, borrowing costs on qualifying assets arising subsequent to January 1, 2009 are
included in the cost of the assets concerned.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Buildings 20 to 30 years
Leasehold improvements, fixtures and fittings 10 to 20 years
Machinery, tooling and furniture 3 to 10 years
Specific tooling is produced or purchased specifically for the purpose of manufacturing parts or modules for customer orders, which
are either a) not sold to the customer, or b) paid for by the customer on delivery of each part. In accordance with IAS 16, this tooling is
recognized as property, plant and equipment.
It is depreciated to match the quantities of parts delivered to the customer over a maximum of five years, in line with the rate at which
models are replaced.
Investment grants are recorded as a deduction from the assets that they were used to finance.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of the asset to the lessee are recorded under assets at the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of
the minimum lease payments. The recognized assets are subsequently depreciated as described above. An obligation of the same
amount is recorded as a liability.

The other associates, in joint control or significant influence, taken individually, are not considered as significant neither for sales nor

In accordance with IAS 39, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: loans and receivables, available-for-
sale financial assets, and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. They are recorded on the following balance sheet items:
“Other equity interests” (Note 14), “Other non-current financial assets” (Note 15), “Trade account receivables” (Note 18), “Other operating
receivables” (Note 19), “Other receivables” (Note 20) and “Cash and cash equivalents” (Note 21).
The Group does not use the IAS 39 categories of “Held-to-maturity investments” nor “Financial assets held for trading”.
Equity interests correspond to the Group’s interests in the capital of non-consolidated companies. They are subject to impairment testing
based on the most appropriate financial analysis criteria. An impairment loss is recognized where appropriate. The criteria generally
applied are the Group’s equity in the underlying net assets and the earnings outlook of the Company concerned.

Production cost includes the cost of materials and supplies as well as direct and indirect production costs, excluding overhead not
linked to production and borrowing costs.
Work-in-progress includes the costs of internally-manufactured specific tooling or development work which is sold to customers, i.e.
where the related risks and rewards are transferred. These costs are recognized in the income statement over the period in which the
corresponding sales are made, as each technical stage is validated by the customer, or when the tooling is delivered if the contract
does not provide for specific technical stages.
Provisions are booked for inventories for which the probable realizable value is lower than cost.

Under trade receivables sale programs, the Group can sell a portion of the receivables of a number of its French, German, North
America and other subsidiaries to a group of financial institutions, transferring substantially all of the risks and rewards relating to
the receivables sold to the financial institutions concerned.
The following table shows the amount of receivables sold with maturities beyond December 31, 2016, for which substantially all the
risks and rewards have been transferred, and which have therefore been derecognized, as well as the financing under these programs
which corresponds to the cash received as consideration for the receivables sold:
Given the high quality of Group counterparties, late payments do not represent a material risk. They generally arise from administrative
issues.
Late payments as of December 31, 2016 were €135 million, breaking down as follows:
cc €62.0 million less than one month past due;
cc €14.2 million between one and two months past due;
cc €7.4 million between two and three months past due;
cc €18.9 million between three and six months past due;
cc €32.5 million more than six months past due.
* Including the following amounts for VAT and other tax receivables 145.7 150.9
In 2016, the receivables on Crédit d’Impôt pour la Compétitivité et l’Emploi (CICE) and Crédit d’Impôt Recherche (CIR) have been sold
respectively for amounts of €12.4 million and €34.7 million.
Cash and cash equivalents include current account balances in the amount of € 1,315.3 million (compared to €718.8 million in 2015)
and short-term investments in the amount of €246.9 million (compared to €213.7 million in 2015), or a total of €1,562.2 million as of
December 31, 2016.
These components include current account balances and units in money market funds that are readily convertible to a known amount
of cash and are not subject to a significant risk of impairment in the event of changes in interest rates. They are measured at fair value
and variances are booked through P&L.
The carrying amount of marketable securities is almost identical to market value as they are held on a very short term basis.
Net cash flow, as mentioned in the comments on the business review and the consolidated financial statements, represents the net
financing surplus adjusted for acquisitions of investments and business net of cash acquired and for changes in other investments
and non-current assets. Net cash flow amounts €458.5 million as of December 31, 2016 (of which recurring €332.5 million) compared
to €302.5 million in 2015.
22.1 Capital
As of December 31, 2016, Faurecia’s capital stock totaled €966,250,607 divided into 138,035,801 fully paid-up shares with a par value
of €7 each.
The Group’s capital is not subject to any external restrictions. Shares which have been registered in the name of the same holder for
at least two years carry double voting rights.
As of December 31, 2016, Peugeot S.A. held 46.33% of the capital stock and 62.94% of the voting rights.
The capital and additional paid-in capital variance on the period can be analyzed as follows:
Additional
Capital paid-in capital

A - Stock options
Faurecia has a policy of issuing stock options to the executives of Group companies.
Options are measured at fair value as of the grant date using the Black & Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options
is recognized in payroll costs on a straight-line basis over the vesting period (the period between the grant date and the vesting date),
with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
As of December 31, 2016, a total of 244,200 stock options were outstanding.
The exercise of these options would result in increasing:
cc the capital stock by €1.7 million;
cc additional paid-in capital by €9.2 million.
Details of the stock subscription option plans as of December 31, 2016 are set out in the table below:

Litigation
On March 25, 2014, the European Commission and the Department of Justice of the United States of America and on November 27,
2014, the Competition Commission of South Africa, initiated an enquiry covering certain suppliers of emission control systems on
the basis for suspicions of anti-competitive practices in this segment. Faurecia is one of the companies covered by these enquiries.
These enquiries are ongoing. Furthermore, on March 24, 2016, two class actions were filed against several suppliers of emissions
control systems, alleging anticompetitive practices in regard to Exhaust Systems, and seeking unspecified amounts of civil damages.
Faurecia Emissions Control Technologies US, LLC is one of the companies named as defendants, and Faurecia S.A. has been named
as an additional defendant. On November 9, 2016 a third class action was filed. In the event anti-competitive practices are proven,
possible sanctions include fines, criminal charges or civil damages. At present the Group is unable to predict the consequences of such
enquiries and class actions including the level of fines or sanctions that could be imposed: therefore, no accruals were accounted for
as of December 31, 2016. There are no other claims or litigation in progress or pending that are likely to have a material impact on
the Group’s consolidated financial position.
Benefit obligations
B - Assumptions used
The Group’s obligations under these plans are determined on an actuarial basis, using the following assumptions:
cc retirement age between 62 and 65 for employees in France;
cc staff turnover assumptions based on the economic conditions specific to each country and/or Group company;
cc mortality assumptions specific to each country;
cc estimated future salary levels until retirement age, based on inflation assumptions and forecasts of individual salary increases for
each country;
cc the expected long-term return on external funds;
cc discount and inflation rates (or differential) based on local conditions.
The main actuarial assumptions used in the past two years to measure the pension liability are as follows:
Note: the iboxx AA rate has been used as reference to determine the discount rate of the euro zone.
The decrease in discount rate generated actuarial gains and losses which have been recorded in other comprehensive income according
to IAS 19R
In the United States, the pension benefit obligations (closed to new participants) are not sensitive to the inflation rate.
The average duration of the various plans is as follows:
2016 2015
(in %) Equities Bonds Others Equities Bonds Others
France 18% 78% 4% 18% 78% 4%
United Kingdom 39% 61% 0% 45% 55% 0%
United States 49% 33% 18% 44% 39% 17%
The fair value of shares and bonds falls in the level 1 category (price quoted in active markets) in 2016.

In France, pension liability increased by €27.9 million at year-end compared to 2015. This increase breaks down as follows:
cc +€14.1 million relating to service cost and interest cost for 2016;
cc -€7.1 million relating to lump-sum retirement bonuses and rights to capital for supplementary pension schemes;
cc -€0.2 million relating to employee reduction plans;
cc +€21.1 million resulting from actuarial gains and losses, including €16.6 million relating to the discount rate, €4.5 million relating
to experience;
F - Retirement pension liabilities: sensitivity to changes in the discount rate and in the inflation rate in the main
scope
The impact of a 25 basis point increase in the discount rate and in the inflation rate for the projected benefit obligation is as follows:
The increase of 25 basis points in the discount rate and 1 percentage point in the healthcare cost trend rates would lead to the following
variations on the Group’s projected benefit obligations:
The Group’s financial liabilities fall within the IAS 39 categories of (i) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and (ii) other
financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.
They are recorded on the following balance sheet items: “Current financial liabilities” and “Non-current financial liabilities” (Note 26),
“Accrued taxes and payroll costs” (Note 27) and “Other payables” (Note 28).
Financial assets and liabilities are broken down into current and non-current components for maturities at the balance sheet date:
under or over a year.
The Group’s financial liabilities are generally measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

26.3 Financing
The main components of Faurecia financing are described below:
2016 bonds
In November 2011 and February 2012, Faurecia had issued €490 million worth of bonds, due December 15, 2016. These bonds carried
interest at 9.375% and benefited from a guarantee from certain Group subsidiaries. They were redeemed by anticipation (“made-whole”)
on April 12, 2016 at 106.34% of par plus interest accrued at that date, for a total amount of €536 Million. This early redemption also
eliminated the guarantees on the syndicated credit facility and 2022 bonds.
2022 bonds
In 2015, Faurecia issued bonds, due June 15, 2022, carrying annual interest of 3.125%, payable on June 15 and December 15 each
year, as from June 15, 2015.
A first part of these bonds has been issued on March 17, 2015 for €500 million. An additional €200 million bond was issued on April 9,
2015, with the same due date and same coupon, at 100.25% of the nominal value. On May 19, 2015, the bonds of this second tranche
were wholly assimilated to those issued on March 17, 2015.
They include a covenant restricting the additional indebtedness if the EBITDA after certain adjustments is lower than 2 times the gross
interest costs, and restrictions on the debt similar to those of the syndicated credit loan.
They are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange (Global Exchange Market). The costs related to the bond issue are expensed in P&L over
the life time of the bonds. The bonds benefit from guarantees from some group affiliates; the entities providing these guarantees are
the same as those that guarantee the bonds due December 2016. These guarantees have been eliminated with the full redemption of
these 2016 bonds.
2023 bonds
On April 1, 2016, Faurecia issued bonds for an amount of €700 million due June 15, 2023, carrying annual interest of 3.625%, payable
on June 15 and December 15 each year, as from June 15, 2016
They are also listed on the Irish Stock Exchange (Global Exchange Market). The costs related to the bond issue are expensed in P&L
over the life time of the bonds.
These bonds benefit from the same restrictions as the 2022 bonds and do not benefit from guarantees issued by subsidiaries.
2018 OCEANE
On September 18, 2012 Faurecia had issued €250 million worth of OCEANE bonds convertible into and/or exchangeable for new or
existing shares, due January 1, 2018. These bonds of a principal amount of €19.48 carried interest at 3.25%.
On December 7, 2015, Faurecia announced its intention to reimburse the OCEANE bonds at par value on January 15, 2016. Following
this announcement, 94.5% of the OCEANE bonds have been converted as of December 31, 2015, and the principal amount of remaining
bonds outstanding at this date was €13.7 million. As of January 15, 2016, almost the entire amount has been converted and the residual
principal amount of €0.2 million has been reimbursed.
The Group’s global contractual maturity schedule as of December 31, 2016 breaks down as follows:
Borrowings, taking into account foreign exchange swaps, break down by repayment currency as follows:
In 2016, the weighted average interest rate on gross outstanding borrowings was 4.1%.
As of December 31, 2016, movements in provisions for impairment break down as follows by category of financial asset:

The sensitivity of Group income and equity as of December 31, 2016 to a fluctuation in exchange rates against the euro is as follows
for the main currencies to which the Group is exposed:
Currency exposure (in € millions) USD CZK CNY RUB GBP PLN ZAR
2016 1.05 27.02 7.32 64.30 0.86 4.41 14.46

Exchange rate after currency depreciation 1.11 28.37 7.69 67.52 0.90 4.63 15.18

Impact on equity (in € millions) 3.18 (2.06) 0.00 0.00 0.00 (4.35) 0.16
These impacts reflect (i) the effect on the income statement of currency fluctuations on the year-end valuation of assets and liabilities
recognized on the balance sheet, net of the impact of the change in the intrinsic value of hedging instruments (both those qualifying
and not qualifying as fair value hedges) and (ii) the effect on equity of the change in the intrinsic value of hedging instruments for
derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges.
A part of the Group borrowings being at variable rates as stated in Note 26.4, a rise in short-term rates would therefore have an impact
on financial expense.
The sensitivity tests performed, assuming a 100 bp increase in average interest rates compared to the rate curve as of December 31, 2016
show that the effect on net financial expense (before taxes) would not be significant, taking into account the profile of the Group’s
borrowings and derivatives in place as of December 31, 2016.
