20 Financial Instruments

The following table shows a presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement categories and classes. Also presented are liabilities from finance leases and derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, even though they do not belong to any of the IAS 39 measurement categories.

The fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost is determined by means of discounting, taking into account market-participant interest rates that are adequate to the inherent risk and correspond to the relevant maturity. For reasons of immateriality, the carrying amount of current balance-sheet items is the same as their fair value.

The loans and receivables reported include trade receivables and other loans, as well as cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents in foreign currency are measured at the conversion rate prevailing on the reporting date. Their carrying amounts correspond to their fair values. The fair value of the loans corresponds to their present value, i.e. the present value of the expected future cash flows. Discounting is carried out on the basis of the interest rates valid on the reporting date.

The held-to-maturity securities category includes current fixed-interest securities measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets include securities, fund shares aimed at securing phased-early-retirement commitments, and investments in joint ventures and associates. The fair values of the fund shares correspond to their stock market prices on the reporting date. Investments in joint ventures and associates are measured at cost, as no observable prices on active markets are available.

The carrying amounts of trade payables and other liabilities correspond to their fair values. The fair values of financial liabilities constitute the present value of the expected future cash flows. Discounting is carried out on the basis of the interest rates valid on the reporting date. All other liabilities are valued at cost as no observable prices for them are available.

The following table shows the net gains and losses from financial instruments, broken down by measurement category. The impacts on earnings due to finance leases and derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are not shown in the table because they do not belong to any of the IAS 39 measurement categories.
