GSK applies IAS19R with effect from 1 January 2013

RNS Announcement

RNS Number : 2682X

GlaxoSmithKline PLC

06 February 2013

Issued: Wednesday, 6 February 2013, London, U.K.

Amended Accounting Standard on Employee Benefits (IAS 19R) applicable as from 1 January, 2013

GlaxoSmithKline announces today that the amended IAS 19 issued by the IASB in June 2011 will be applied from 1 January 2013 to its consolidated financial statements. The comparative periods presented in the 2013 financial statements will require retrospective application of the revised Standard. It is estimated that the application of this change will reduce pre-tax profit by approximately £160 million in 2013 (2012: £92 million; 2011: £73 million) and earnings per share by approximately 2.5p in 2013 (2012: 1.3p; 2011: 1.0p). The impact of this change on Shareholders' equity will be negligible. For comparative purposes, set out below are the unaudited reconciliations between the reported figures under the existing Standard and the restated figures which will be reported on the new basis for the full year 2011 and each of the quarters from Q1 2012 to Q4 2012. The funding costs of defined benefit plans are not allocated on a regional basis and therefore the impact of this change on the 2012 results has been allocated to corporate and other unallocated costs and disposal profits. The two significant differences between the previous and amended Standards which will have an impact on GSK's reported results are as follows:
·	Expected returns on the fair value of plan assets will no longer be recognised in the income statement. Expected returns are replaced by income calculated on the fair value of plan assets using the same discount rate as that used to measure the pension obligations. This discount rate is based on market rates for high quality corporate bonds. As a consequence, plan benefit costs will be higher under IAS 19R

·	Past service cost is recognised in the income statement in the period of a plan amendment instead of deferring the portion related to unvested benefits. Past service cost arises when an entity introduces a pension plan or changes the benefit payable under an existing pension plan.

GlaxoSmithKline - one of the world's leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies - is committed to improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer. For further information please visit www.gsk.com
