(21) Financial Instruments


Financial instruments are contractual obligations to receive or deliver cash and cash equivalents. In accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 39, these include both primary and derivative financial instruments. Primary financial instruments include, in particular, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, credits and loans. Derivatives primarily include forward currency transactions and interest rate hedging instruments.

The following tables show the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities by category of financial instruments and a reconciliation to the corresponding line item in the Group balance sheet. Since the line items “Other Receivables” and “Other Liabilities” contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets and liabilities (in particular, advance payments for services to be received/made in the future and other tax receivables/payables), the reconciliation is shown in the column headed “Outside IFRS 7.”

Due to the short-term maturities of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, as well as other current receivables and payables, their fair values approximate their carrying amount. The fair values of non-current financial assets and liabilities are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities.

The fair values of forward currency transactions have been obtained by the respective quotations of banks at the balance sheet date. The fair values of the collars and swaps at the balance sheet date were also arrived at based upon corresponding quotations obtained from banks using internal mark-to-market models.

The net gains and losses from financial instruments by IAS 39 category are shown in the following table:
