NOTE 3—OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

Management has defined Constellium’s operating segments based upon product lines, markets and industries it serves, and prepares and reports operating segment information to Constellium’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) (see NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) on that basis. Group’s operating segments are described below:

Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products (P&ARP)

Aerospace and Transportation (A&T)

A&T focuses on thick-gauge rolled high value-added products for customers in the aerospace, defense and mass-transportation markets and engineering industries. A&T operates six facilities in three countries and has 4,008 employees at December 31, 2017.

 

Automotive Structures and Industry (AS&I)

Holdings & Corporate

Holdings & Corporate includes the net cost of Constellium’s head office and corporate support functions (including our technology centers).

(A) Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminium prices included within Constellium revenues are established and when aluminium purchase prices included in Cost of sales are established. The Group accounts for inventory using a weighted average price basis and this adjustment aims to remove the effect of volatility in LME prices. The calculation of the Group metal price lag adjustment is based on an internal standardized methodology calculated at each of Constellium’s manufacturing sites and is primarily calculated as the average value of product recorded in inventory, which approximates the spot price in the market, less the average value transferred out of inventory, which is the weighted average of the metal element of cost of sales, based on the quantity sold in the period.
(B) For the year ended December 31, 2017, start-up and development costs include mainly €16 million related to new projects in our AS&I operating segment. For the year ended December 31, 2016, start-up and development costs include €20 million related to Automotive Body Sheet growth projects.
(C) For the year ended December 31, 2016, Wise one-time costs related to a one-time payment of €20 million, recorded as a reduction of revenues, in relation to the re-negotiation of payment terms, pass through of Midwest premium amounts and other pricing mechanisms in a contract with one of Wise’s customers. We entered into the re-negotiation of these terms in order to align the terms of this contract, acquired during the acquisition of Wise, with Constellium’s normal business terms.
(D) The contractual price adjustment relating to the acquisition of Wise Metals Intermediate Holdings was finalized in 2016. We received a cash payment of €21 million and recorded a €20 million gain net of costs.
(E) For the year ended December 31, 2017, amendments to certain Swiss pension plan, US pension plan and OPEB resulted in a €20 million net gain.
(F) For the year ended December 31, 2017, other includes €3 million of legal fees and lump-sum payments in connection with the renegotiation of a new 5-year collective bargaining agreement offset by accrual reversals of unused provision related to one-time loss contingencies.
