Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. In addition, they affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include impairment of property and equipment, intangibles and goodwill; valuation allowances for accounts receivables, price protection and customers’ returns, and deferred income taxes; environmental liabilities; valuation of derivative instruments and assets and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses as well as contingent assets and liabilities, and make judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances prevailing at the balance sheet date. The estimates and assumptions rely on management’s current best knowledge. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates mainly relate to the measurement of assets and the utilisation of deferred tax assets against the future taxable profits. The chapter “Accounting policies requiring management’s judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty” discusses judgements made by management and those financial statement items on which judgements have the most significant effect.
