Retirement obligations
Note 11. Retirement obligations
Accounting policies
Company employees receive the retirement benefits provided for by law in France:
Lump-sum retirement benefit paid by the Company to employees upon retirement (defined benefit plan); and
Pension benefits paid by social security agencies, which are financed through employer and employee contributions (State defined contribution plan).
The cost of retirement benefits payable under defined benefit plans is estimated using the projected credit unit cost method.
Past service cost related to non-vested benefits is recognized as an expense (increase in the benefits granted) or as income (reduction in the benefits granted) when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized directly and in full in other comprehensive income (loss) under equity.
Retirement benefit obligations are measured at the present value of future estimated payments by reference to market yields on high quality corporate bonds with a maturity equivalent to that estimated for the plan. The Company
uses experts to carry out an annual valuation of the plans. The Company's payments to defined contribution plans are recognized as expenses in each period to which they relate.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company updated the parameters for calculating the lump-sum retirement benefit plan to take recent changes into account. The salary increase rate, staff turnover and discount rate were all updated (see below for further details on assumptions used).
