Pension schemes

FMO’s pension schemes cover all its employees. Up to 2022 the pension schemes were according to defined benefit plans and were mostly based on average-pay-schemes. FMO has a contract with a well-established insurer, by which all nominal pension obligations are guaranteed.

Due to the expiration on December 31, 2021, of FMO's pension agreement and taking into account upcoming changes in regulations impacting defined benefit pension plans, FMO made the decision during 2021 to amend its pension plan for existing and future employees. Starting from January 1, 2022, employees participate in a defined contribution plan. The defined benefit obligation reflects the net pension liability attributable to members of the defined benefit plan that ended on December 31, 2021.

From January 1, 2022, the pension entitlements of existing and future employees accumulate in the new pension plan. Therefore, the present value of future defined benefit obligations relating to the original defined benefit plan were remeasured to account for the migration of entitlements from future contributions into the new plan. In 2021 this resulted in a decrease in the defined benefit obligation from €297,881k to €275,888k. The reduction of €21,993k in the defined benefit obligation was classified as a 'Past service cost' in terms of IAS 19 and resulted in a gain in the statement of profit or loss.

The actuarial profit on the pension liability amounts to €1,212 (2021: €12,857 profit). This profit is mainly due to the increase of the discount rate, almost completely offset by the increase of the expected indexations.

No direct asset allocation is held in relation to the new pension insurance contract. Therefore, the fair value of the plan assets can no longer be determined based on a certain asset allocation. Due to this, paragraph 115 of IAS 19 has been applied in estimating the fair value of plan assets based on accrued pension rights and actuarial rates.
