Fair value measurement
1. Accounting classification and fair values
The following table shows the carrying amount and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

Accounting estimates regarding fair value measurement
i. Valuation techniques
The fair value of the forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps is determined on the basis of inputs other than observable quoted rates/prices (level 2). Generally accepted valuation methods are used to determine fair value. The value determined in this way is equal to the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Forward exchange contracts
Values are determined using the discounted future cash flow model. The fair value is determined using (interpolated) quoted forward exchange rates at the reporting date and discounted by the appropriate discount factor derived from the appropriate swap curve.
Interest rate swaps
Values are determined using the discounted future cash flow model. The market value of a swap is calculated as the sum of two different loans. In the event of a fixed – floating swap, the interest on the first loan is based on a fixed rate, while the interest on the second loan is based on a floating rate. Each individual loan (also known as the leg of a swap) has its own market value. This market value is the sum of the individual future cash flows, discounted by the appropriate discount factor. The individual future cash flows are based on the rate of the contract (fixed leg) or on a forward interest rate curve (floating leg). The fair value is subject to a credit risk adjustment that reflects the credit risk of Accell Group and of the counterparty.
Contingent liabilities
The determination of the fair value of the contingent liabilities is explained in note 4.11.2.
Other financial liabilities
Values are determined using the discounted cash flow model. The valuation model takes into account the present value of expected payment, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.
ii. Measurement of fair values
A number of Accell Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require fair value measurement, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, Accell Group uses observable market data as much as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. Accell Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change occurred.
