Share premium reserve
It amounts to Euro 14,423 thousand compared with Euro 11,720 thousand in the previous year.
The increase by Euro 1,942 thousand reflects share subscriptions under stock option plans for Euro 1,847 thousand, and the transfer of the Euro 95 thousand capital increase subscribed on December 31, 2013.
During 2014, the Holding Company Sogefi S.p.A. credited Euro 761 thousand to the Share premium reserve after the free grant of 333,276 treasury shares to beneficiaries of the 2011 and 2012 Stock Grant plans.
Treasury shares
Item “Treasury shares” reflects the purchase price of treasury shares. Movements during the year amount to Euro 761 thousand and reflect the free grant of 333,276 treasury shares as reported in the note to “Stock-based incentive plans reserve”.
Translation reserve
This reserve is used to record the exchange differences arising on the translation of foreign subsidiaries' financial statements.
Movements in the period show an increase of Euro 6,116 thousand mainly attributable to the appreciation of the US and Canadian Dollar against the Euro.
Reserve for actuarial gains/losses
This reserve reflects the net impact of the application of the amendment to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits” on other actuarial gains (losses) as of January 1, 2012. The item also includes actuarial gains and losses accrued after January 1, 2012 and recognised under Other Comprehensive Income.
Cash flow hedging reserve
This reserve has changed as a result of accounting for the cash flows deriving from instruments that for IAS 39 purposes are designated as “cash flow hedging instruments”. Changes during the period show an increase of Euro 190 thousand. Breakdown is as follows:
- decrease of Euro 3,411 thousand reflecting the change, as of December 31, 2013, in the fair value of existing contracts;
- increase of Euro 825 thousand reflecting the reserve portion relating to redeemed IRS contracts reclassified to Income Statement (as outlined in note 15);
- increase of Euro 2,776 thousand reflecting the reserve portion relating to the contracts no longer designated in hedge accounting that is recognised in the Income Statement over the same period of time as the differentials relating to the underlying hedged item.
Stock-based incentive plans reserve
The reserve refers to the credit to equity for stock-based incentive plans, assigned to directors and employees, resolved after November 7, 2002, including the portion relating to the stock grant plan approved in 2014.
In 2014, as a result of the free grant of 333,276 treasury shares to beneficiaries who exercised their options under the stock grant plans, the amount of Euro 724 thousand, corresponding to fair value at units assignment date, was reclassified from “Stock-based incentive plans reserve” and Euro 761 thousand were credited to “Share premium reserve”, whereas Euro 37 thousand were deducted from “Retained earnings reserve”.
The increase of Euro 852 thousand mainly refers to the cost of plans not yet at maturity.
Retained earnings
These totalled Euro 124,286 thousand and include amounts of profit that have not been distributed.
The decrease of Euro 3,078 thousand refers to the following events:
- the interest held by subsidiary Allevard Rejna Autosuspensions S.A. in subsidiary Allevard IAI Suspensions Pvt Ltd. increased from 70.24% to 73.91% through a share capital increase paid in by shareholders other than non-controlling interests that resulted in the amount of Euro 52 thousand being reclassified between shareholders' equity attributable to non-controlling interests and Group's equity;
- the interest held by subsidiary Allevard Rejna Autosuspensions S.A. in subsidiary S.ARA Composite S.A.S. increased from 90.91% to 93.71% (percent values refer to paid-in capital) through a share capital increase paid in by shareholders other than non-controlling interests that resulted in the amount of Euro 160 thousand being reclassified between shareholders' equity attributable to non-controlling interests and Group's equity;
- recognition of the fair value of the liability connected with the put options held by the non-controlling interests of subsidiary Sogefi M.N.R. Filtration India Pvt for the amount of Euro 2,819 thousand (please read note 1.2 “Content of the consolidated financial statements” for more details);
