1.11 Other receivables

1.11.1 Trade and other receivables

At initial recognition, trade and other receivables are recognised in the financial statements at fair value and thereafter at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less accumulated impairments.

Hydratec applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to the provision for expected credit losses on trade receivables. Changes in credit risk are therefore not taken into account. A credit provision is recognised based on an expected loss for the entire term of the receivable in question. The IFRS 9 simplified approach cannot be applied to the other receivables. This provision is based on historical credit losses adjusted for economic developments and future expectations relevant to the specific receivables.

The addition to the provision for expected credit losses is recognised in the statement of profit or loss under other operating costs. Receivables have a maturity of 12 months or less and therefore do not contain a significant financing component.

1.11.2 Contract assets

Various Hydratec companies carry out projects to manufacture customer-specific products on the basis of contracts entered into with third parties. If the performance obligation is carried out by handing over goods or services to a customer before the customer has made a payment or before the payment is due, the contract is presented as a contract asset, excluding amounts presented as a receivable. Please refer to the accounting policies under net revenue for how the scale of the performance obligation is determined. Assessments are made every year to check whether there are indications that contract assets have been impaired. In line with the application to trade receivables in section 1.11.1, the IFRS 9 simplified approach is also applied for the provision for expected credit losses.

1.11.3 Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations

Assets and liabilities are classified as “held for sale” if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Cost of sales is the incremental cost directly attributable to the sale of an asset, not including any finance costs and income tax.

The criteria for classification as assets held for sale apply when a sale is highly probable, the asset is readily available for immediate sale in its present condition, the sale is expected to be completed within one year, the plan to sell is unlikely to be changed or withdrawn, and management has committed to the plan to sell. Assets held for sale are not depreciated

A disposal group qualifies as a ‘discontinued operation’ if it is entirely or partly an entity that has either been disposed of or classified as held for sale, and:

  • represents an individually important business activity or geographical area;

  • is part of a coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area; or

  • is a subsidiary company acquired exclusively with a view to resale.

Discontinued operations are presented separately. Unless otherwise indicated, all other disclosures in the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations.
