Leasing - Getinge as a lessee
The Group's leases mainly comprise right-of-use assets for
premises and vehicles. The leases are recognized as a right-of-use
asset with a corresponding lease liability when the leased asset
is available for use by the Group. Short-term leases and leases for
which the underlying asset is of low value are exempted. Each lease
payment should be divided between amortization of the lease
liability and a financial cost. The financial cost should be allocated
over the lease term, so that each reporting period is charged with
an amount corresponding to a fixed interest rate for the liability
recognized under each period.
The Groups lease liabilities are recognized at the present value
of the Group's fixed lease payments. Purchase options are included
if it is reasonably certain that Getinge will exercise the option to
acquire the underlying asset. Penalties for terminating the lease
are included if the lease term reflects that the lessee will exercise
an option to cancel the lease. Lease payments are discounted
with the interest rate implicit in the lease, if this rate can easily
be determined. Otherwise, the Group's incremental borrowing
rate is applied.
The Group's right-of-use assets are recognized at cost, and
include initial present value of the lease liability, adjusted for lease
payments made at or before the commencement date and any
initial direct expenses. Restoration costs are included in the asset
if a corresponding provision for restoration costs exists. The right-
of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the assets
useful life and the lease term, whichever is the shortest.
Leasing - Getinge as a lessor
Leases in which Getinge is the lessor are defined in two categories,
operating and finance, depending on the financial significance of
the agreement. Operating leases are recognized as non-current
assets. Revenue from operating leases is recognized evenly over
the lease term. Straight-line depreciation is applied to these assets
in accordance with the undertakings and the depreciation amount
is adjusted to correspond with the estimated realizable value when
the undertaking expires. The estimated impairment requirement
is immediately charged to profit or loss. The products' estimated
realizable value at the expiration of the undertaking is continuously
followed up on an individual basis. Finance leases are recognized
as long-term or current receivables. Payments received from
finance leases are divided between interest income and deprecia-
tion of receivables.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each accounting period, the carrying amount of the
assets is assessed to determine whether there is any indication
that impairment is required. If there is such an indication, the
asset's recoverable amount is established. The recoverable amount
is deemed to be the higher of the asset's net realizable value and its
value in use, for which the impairment loss is recognized as soon
as the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Earlier
recognized impairment losses on intangible assets and tangible
assets are reversed if the recoverable amount is deemed to have
increased, although the impairment losses are not reversed to an
amount greater than what the carrying amount would have been
if no impairment losses had been recognized in earlier years.
Recognized impairments of goodwill are not reversed.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and production value,
according to the first in/first out (FIFO) principle, and net realizable
value. Inventories include a share of indirect costs related to this.
The value of finished products includes raw materials, direct work,
other direct costs and production-related expenses including
depreciation. The net realizable value is calculated as the estimated
sales price less estimated completion and selling expenses. An
assessment of impairment testing for inventories is conducted on
an ongoing basis during the year. The value of inventories is adjust-
ed for the estimated decrease in value attributable to products no
longer sold, surplus inventories, physical damage, lead times for
inventories, and handling and sales overheads. If the net realizable
value is lower than the cost, the inventories are written down to
this amount.
Financial instruments
Initial recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the
Group becomes party to the contractual terms of the instrument.
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the
transaction date, which is the date on which the Group undertakes
to buy or sell the asset. A financial asset is derecognized from the
balance sheet when the contractual rights to the asset are realized,
extinguished or the company loses control over them. A financial
liability is derecognized from the balance sheet when the contractual
obligation has been fulfilled or in some other manner extinguished.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or
issue of a financial asset or financial liability. The Group classified
its financial assets and liabilities depending on the purpose for
which the financial asset or liability was acquired.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Assets held for the purpose of collecting the contractual cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal
amount are measured at amortized cost. Assets in this category
are initially measured at fair value including transaction costs. After
the acquisition date, they are recognized at amortized cost using
the effective interest method. The carrying amount of the assets
is adjusted for any impairment for expected credit losses. Interest
income from these financial assets is recognized using the effective
interest method and is included in financial income. Assets in
this category comprise long-term financial receivables, accounts
receivable and other current receivables. They are included in
current assets with the exception of items that fall due more than
12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified
as non-current assets.
Impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost
The Group assesses the future expected credit losses related to
assets measured at amortized cost and recognizes a reserve for
such credit losses ("loss allowance") on each reporting date.
For accounts receivable, the Group applies the simplified approach
