1.2. Changes in the accounting framework
applicable to LVMH Standards, amendments and interpretations for which application became mandatory in 2014
The standards, amendments and interpretations applicable to LVMH with effect from January 1, 2014 relate to IFRS 10,
IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 on consolidation. These IFRS redefine the concept of the control of entities (see Note 1.6), eliminate
the possibility to use proportionate consolidation to consolidate jointly controlled entities, which are accounted for only
using the equity method, and introduce additional disclosure requirements in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The application of these standards did not have a material impact on the Group’s conso lidated financial statements, as proportionately consolidated entities represent only a small portion of the Group’s financial statements. Although jointly controlled, those entities are fully integrated within the Group’s operating activities. LVMH now discloses
their net profit, as well as that of entities using the equity method for previous closings (see Note 7), in a separate line, which forms part of profit from recurring operations.
