For the year ended December 31, 2017, net loss on settlement of debt related to (i) the Muscle Shoals Senior Notes redemption in February 2017 for €13 million and (ii) the Constellium SE Senior Notes redemption in November 2017 for €78 million. The total exit fees incurred and paid related to refinancings in 2017 amounted to €88 million.

The Group hedges the dollar exposure relating to the principal of its Constellium SE U.S. Dollar Senior Notes, for the portion that has not been used to finance directly or indirectly U.S. Dollar functional currency entities.
