From Julyb1, 2009, business combinations are recognized using the full goodwill method. Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (CGU) identified under IAS 36. Sotelma’s goodwill and that of the new subsidiaries acquired in 2015 were measured by applying IFRS 3 revised. The definitive goodwill of the Moov subsidiaries has been finalized in the first half of 2016.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least once a year and whenever there is evidence of loss of value. A value test consists of comparing the carrying value of each CGU against its market value.This market value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows based on 5 years business plans. For Casanet, the market value is estimated by the market multiples method, on 2017 results and 2018 projections.

Goodwill-impairment tests are based on the following assumptions:
