Beginning 1Q18, Globe s financial reporting will incorporate Philippine Financial Reporting Standard (PFRS) 9, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers What is PFRS 9? PFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, provides guidance on classifying financial instruments. What is PFRS 15? PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, provides guidance on accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. What is the impact of adoption of PFRS 9 to Globe? The new provisioning methodology, the Expected Credit Loss Model, assigns higher provisions for lower quality customers (and lower provisions for higher quality customers), reflecting the true picture of portfolio quality based on acquisition, payment behavior, and portfolio outlook. What is the impact of adoption of PFRS 15 to Globe? The new standard changes the longstanding practice of using monthly service fees to subsidize upfront cost of handsets, thus, requiring telco operators to carry out a "relative fair value" allocation between the handset and service. How will this adjustment be reflected in Globe s books? With the adoption of the modified retrospective approach, there will be a deduction to Retained Earnings of Php5.58 Billion, net of tax (Php7.98 Billion gross) in 1Q 2018. How will this adjustment be reflected in Globe s books? With the adoption of the modified retrospective approach, there will be an addition to retained earnings amounting to Php1.79 Billion, net of tax (Php2.56 Billion gross) as of March 31, 2018. 16
