Receivables are shown at amortized cost, which corresponds to their market value. Adequate valuation allowances are set up to cover default risks, to the extent that these are not covered by insurance, bank guarantees or advance payments received.

Valuation allowances are set up for identifiable credit risks and exchange-rate fluctuations. We continuously monitor the creditworthiness of our debtors to assess the intrinsic value of the corresponding receivables and, where appropriate, we take out credit default insurance. In addition, customers make advance payments and provide bank guarantees. The maximum default risk is equal to the carrying amount of the uninsured receivables. No loans or receivables were renegotiated to prevent an overdue debt or possible impairment. Based on past experience and on the conditions prevailing as of the reporting date, there are no restrictions with regard to credit quality. The additions and reversals in the valuation allowances for receivables in the reporting year mainly relate to companies in the Siltronic Group and to Wacker Chemie AG.
