- Borrowings (extract)
(v) Mobile handset financing (extract)
During the year, the Group entered into a securitisation facility with a third party for the sale of mobile handset receivables. The Group does not have control over the securitisation entity, and has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the receivables. As a result, the receivables have been derecognised and the securitisation entity is not consolidated within the Group’s financial statements, such that the transfer of handset receivables is treated as a sale. Sales of mobile handset receivables resulted in proceeds of £86 million being recognised in cash flows from operating activities and associated costs of £11 million being recognised in financing costs in the year.
