Note 24 Lease contracts

In order to manage its liquidity risk, Publicis holds a substantial amount of cash (cash and cash equivalents) for a total of euro 4,616 million as of December 31, 2022 and undrawn confirmed credit lines representing a total of euro 2,000 million as of December 31, 2022 being a multi-currency syndicated loan, maturing in 2024. This credit facility has been renewed until 2026 up to euro 1,579 million. These immediately or almost immediately available sums allow the Groupe to meet its general funding requirements.

Apart from bank overdrafts, most of the Groupe’s debt is comprised of bonds, none of which are subject to financial covenants. They only include standard credit default event clauses (liquidation, cessation of payment, default on the debt itself or on the repayment of another debt above a given threshold) which are generally applicable above a threshold of euro 25 million.

The Groupe has not established any credit derivatives to date.

  1. Additions of assets are net of changes in assumptions on contracts.
  2. Those impacts relate mainly to sub-lease contracts, which have been fully effective during the period; the net right-of-use values have been reclassified to “Other financial assets” for the long-term part and to “Other receivables and current assets” for the short-term part.
