Fair value of financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost
The carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of fair value. Excluding transaction costs and an original issue discount, this is also the case for the Group’s term loan. The fair value of the notes was €1,035 million as of 31 December 2021 (€1,042 million as of 31 December 2020).
Fair value of trade receivables to be sold under securitisation and factoring programmes
Trade receivables that will be sold under the Group’s securitisation and factoring programmes are categorised as measured at fair value through profit or loss. They are sold shortly after being recognised by the Group and the amount initially recognised for these trade receivables is representative of their fair value.
Fair value of derivatives
The following tables show the types of derivatives the Group had as of 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, and their presentation in the statement of financial position. The derivatives have been entered into as part of the Group’s strategy to mitigate operational risks (commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives).

The Group measures derivative assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair value is calculated based on valuation models commonly used in the market. These include consideration of credit risk, where applicable, and discount the estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract, using forward interest rates extracted from observable yield curves and market forward exchange rates at the reporting date. The derivatives are categorised as level 2 fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy as the measurements of fair value are based on observable market data, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). All changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss as the Group does not apply hedge accounting under IFRS 9.
Accounting policy
The specific accounting policies for the Group’s different types of financial assets and liabilities are included in other sections of these consolidated financial statements. This section includes the accounting policy for topics that are covered in more than one note.
Initial recognition of financial assets and liabilities
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and any debt issued on the date when they are originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised on the trade date when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are only offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends to either settle them on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derivatives
Derivatives are measured at fair value with any related transaction costs expensed as incurred. Derivatives with a positive fair value are presented as other current or non-current assets in the statement of financial position, while derivatives with a negative fair value are presented as other current or non-current liabilities.
The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognised in profit or loss. Net changes in the fair value of derivatives entered into as part of the operating business are presented as part of profit from operating activities, while net changes in the fair value of derivatives entered into in relation to the financing of the Group (if any) are presented in other finance income or expenses. The Group does not apply hedge accounting under IFRS 9.
A derivative embedded in another contract is separated and accounted for separately when its economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of its host contract, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and the host contract is not measured at fair value with the fair value changes recognised in profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of a separated embedded derivative are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
