Consolidated financial statements
Subsidiaries are all companies (including structured entities) over
which the Group exercises a controlling influence. The Group con-
trols a company when it is exposed to or has the right to variability
of returns from its holding in the company and can affect these
returns through its influence over the company. The controlling
influence is usually transferred at the acquisition date. Acquired
companies are consolidated into the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with the purchase method, which means
that the cost of the shares in subsidiaries is eliminated against their
equity at the acquisition date. Accordingly, only the portion of the
subsidiary's equity that has arisen after the acquisition is included
in consolidated equity. Equity in the subsidiaries is thus determined
on a market-based value of identifiable assets, liabilities, provisions
and contingent liabilities on the date of the acquisition. If the cost
of the shares in the subsidiaries exceeds the value of the acquired
net assets, calculated as described above, the difference is
assigned to goodwill. If the acquisition cost falls below the fair value
of the acquired subsidiary's net assets (a bargain purchase), the
difference is recognized directly in profit or loss as other operating
income. If assets are included in the subsidiary at the time of acqui-
sition - for example, property, participations or other operations -
that will not be retained but sold in the near future, these assets are
recognized in the acquisition analysis at the amount expected to be
received. Deferred tax is calculated on the difference between the
calculated market values of assets and liabilities and the fiscal
residual values. Intra-Group transactions and unrealized inter-
company profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements, without respect of shares in non-controlling interests.
In profit or loss, net profit is recognized without deductions for
non-controlling interests in net profit for the year. Non-controlling
interests are recognized as a separate item in consolidated equity
in the balance sheet. Transaction costs in connection with business
combinations are expensed in profit or loss when they arise.
Foreign currencies
Functional currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional
currency of the financial statements according to the exchange
rate on the date of the transaction. Receivables and liabilities
in foreign currencies are measured at the closing day rate, and
unrealized currency gains and losses are included in profit or loss.
Exchange rate differences attributable to operating receivables
and liabilities are recognized as other operating income/operating
expenses. Exchange rate differences regarding financial assets
and liabilities are recognized under Other financial items. When
preparing the consolidated financial statements, the balance
sheets of the foreign operations are translated from their functional
currency to SEK, based on the closing day rate.
Translation of foreign operations
Getinge applies the current method for translation of foreign sub-
sidiaries' balance sheets and income statements. This means that
all assets and liabilities in subsidiaries are translated at the closing
day rate, and all income statement items are translated at average
annual exchange rates. Translation differences arising in this
context are due to the difference between the income statement's
average exchange rates and closing day rates, and to the net assets
being translated at a different exchange rate at year-end than at the
beginning of the year. Translation differences are recognized under
other comprehensive income. The total translation differences in
conjunction with divestments are recognized together with the
gains/losses arising from the transaction. Hedge accounting is
applied to external loans raised in order to reduce translation
effects in exposed currencies to match the net assets in foreign
subsidiaries. Exchange rate differences for these loans are
recognized directly in other comprehensive income for the Group.
Revenue recognition
Sales include products, services and rental, net after discounts,
excluding indirect sales tax. Revenue is mainly recognized when
the buyer obtains control of the sold product or service and is able
to use or benefit from the product or service. Getinge's overall
performance obligations can be divided into products and services.
Revenue recognition of sales of products usually takes place at a
point in time when the goods are delivered and when collection of
the receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is normally recog-
nized once the buyer has accepted delivery and after installation
and final inspection. Revenue from services is recognized over time
when the services are performed. Income from rental is allocated to
a particular period over the term of the rental agreement.
Interest income is recognized continuously and dividends
received are recognized after the right to the dividend is deemed
secure. In the consolidated financial statements, intra-Group sales
are eliminated. For larger assignments that meet the criteria for
revenue recognition over time, revenue and expenses are recog-
nized in relation to the degree of completion of the assignment
on the closing date. The degree of completion of an assignment is
established in a ratio between accrued assignment costs for work
completed on the closing date and the calculated total assign-
ment costs, except in those instances this does not correspond
to the degree of completion. Changes in the scope and claims of
the assignment are included only if there is an agreement with
the customer. When the outcome of an assignment cannot be
calculated in a reliable manner, only the amount corresponding
to the accrued assignment costs that will probably be paid by the
client is recognized as revenue. Other accrued assignment costs
are recognized as costs in the period in which they occur. If it is
probable that the total amount of accrued assignment costs will
exceed total revenue from the assignment, the expected loss is
promptly recognized as a cost in its entirety.
Government grants
Government grants are measured at fair value when it is probable
that the terms associated with the grants will be met and that the
grants will be received. Government grants that apply to costs are
recognized in profit or loss as a reduction in costs in the same peri-
od as the costs that the grants are intended to cover. If the grants
received do not pertain to a specific cost, the grants are recognized
as revenue under the item other operating income. Government
grants relating to the acquisition of assets reduce the assets'
