IAS19 Pension surplus of €0.53bn at Jun 2020 (€0.14bn deficit Dec
2019). Schemes in deficit €0.18bn, schemes in surplus €0.71bn
Discount rates increased from year end - a significant fall in risk
free interest rates was more than offset by a rise in credit spreads
The interest rate hedging in the investment portfolios largely
compensated for the impact of the reduction in risk free rates,
and widening credit spreads resulted in an overall improvement
in the balance sheet position
Long term inflation assumptions have also decreased in the
period with the reduction in liabilities partially offset by the
reduction in inflation hedging assets
De-risking strategies in recent years have also reduced the
schemes' sensitivity to global equity movements. Listed equity
asset holdings have been reduced in favour of increases in
Diversified assets and Credit / LDI / Hedging allocations
