2.5 IMPAIRMENT AND DISPOSALS OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS

The detail of the main gains and losses relating to impairment and disposals is as follows:

Gains and losses recognised in 2016:

The net gains corresponding to impairment and disposals in 2016 amounted to EUR 324 and relate mainly to the following:

  • Gain on the sale of the US Chicago Skyway toll road amounting to EUR 259 million (EUR 103 million in net profit attributable to Ferrovial). This transaction is described in Note 1.1.3, Changes in the scope of consolidation.
  • Exclusion from the scope of consolidation of the investment in the SH-130 toll road, following its entry into Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in March 2016 and the consequent loss of control over the investment in December 2016, with an impact of EUR 52 million relating to the losses recognised in excess of the capital invested (EUR 30 million in net profit) (see Note 1.1.3, Changes in the scope of consolidation). This result does not have an impact on cash.
  • Gain on the partial disposal of the Irish toll roads Eurolink M3 and M4/M6 of EUR 22 million (EUR 21 million in net profit). The pre-tax gain of EUR 22 million includes EUR 6 million relating to the recognition at fair value of the investment retained following loss of control (20% in both companies) (see Note 1.1.3, Changes in the scope of consolidation).
  • Impairment of the goodwill allocated to the Terrasa Manresa toll road (AUTEMA) amounting to EUR -21 million (see Note 3.1). This amount is taken to income in full as it is not tax deductible.
  • Reversal of impairment of EUR 16 million (EUR 14 million in net profit) at M-203, as the grounds for the recognition in prior years no longer existed, and the recognition of other impairment losses of EUR -4 million (EUR 5 million in net profit).
