BOOHOO GROUP PLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) CONTINUED ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2021 /// FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED At inception of the hedge relationship, the group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The group documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions. Hedge ineffectiveness may occur due to: . Fluctuation in volume of hedged item caused due to operational changes . Index basis risk of hedged item vs hedging instrument ⚫ Credit risk as a result of deterioration of credit profile of the counterparties Hedge ineffectiveness in relation to all designated hedges was negligible during 2021 and 2020. Further details of derivative financial instruments including fair value measurements are disclosed in note 27. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables (including supplier advances) are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Under IFRS 9, the group elected to use the simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables and contract assets that result from transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 15, irrespective of whether they contain a significant financing component or not. The group establishes a provision for impairment of trade receivables when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the counterparty, probability that the counterparty will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default in or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. In addition, IFRS 9 requires the group to consider forward-looking information and the probability of default when calculating expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating the range of possible outcomes as well as incorporating the time value of money. The group considers reasonable and supportable customer-specific and market information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions when measuring expected credit losses. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows of the asset, discounted, where material, at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement within administrative expenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against administrative expenses in the income statement. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are recorded initially at fair value. Subsequent to this, they are measured at amortised cost. Provisions Provisions are accounted for where there is a liability of uncertain timing or amount, such as a legal or constructive obligations, where it is probable that an outflow of cash or other economic resource will be required to settle the provision. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. Inventories are valued on a first in, first out basis. Inventory includes the cost price of estimated returns. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents, for the purpose of the cash flow statement and the statement of financial position, comprises cash in bank. Revenue Revenue is attributable to the one principal activity of the business. Revenue represents net invoiced sales of goods, including carriage receipts, excluding value added tax. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the customer has received the products, which is when it is considered that the performance obligations have been met, and is adjusted for actual returns and a provision for expected returns. Internet sales are paid by customers at the time of ordering using a variety of payment methods. Wholesale sales are paid in accordance with agreed credit terms with business customers. A provision for returns, based on historical customer return rates, is deducted from revenue and included in provisions within trade and other payables. Rebates Retrospective rebates from suppliers are accounted for in the period to which the rebate relates to the extent that it is reasonably certain that the rebate will be received. Early settlement discounts are taken when payment is made. Leases The group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (less than £0.1 million p.a.), which fall out of IFRS 16 scope and are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the group uses its incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability based on the effective interest method and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease made. payments Right-of-use assets The right-of-use asset comprises the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Where the group has an obligation for costs to dismantle and remove a leased asset, restore the site on which it is located or restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, a provision is recognised and measured under IAS 37. The costs are included in the related right-of-use asset, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The right-of-use asset is presented as a separate line in the balance sheet. For subsequent measurement, right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. Finance costs Interest payable is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as it accrues in respect of the effective interest rate method. Finance income Interest receivable is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as it is earned. Pension costs The group contributes to a Group Personal Pension Scheme for certain employees under a defined contribution scheme. The costs of these contributions are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on an accruals basis as they become payable under the scheme rules. Share-based payments The group issues equity-settled share-based payments in the parent company to certain employees in exchange for services rendered. These awards are measured at fair value on the date of the grant using an option pricing model and expensed in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the vesting period after making an allowance for the estimated number of shares that are estimated will not vest. The level of vesting is reviewed and adjusted annually. Free shares awarded are expensed immediately. Taxation Tax on the profit for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustments to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax is provided for on the fair value of intangible assets acquired in subsidiaries. Foreign currency translation The results and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated at the average monthly exchange rates during the period. The statement of financial position of each overseas subsidiary is translated at the year end rate. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in a translation reserve in equity and are reported in other comprehensive income. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates on the day of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the year end rate and exchange differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 96 97
