Accounting principle

Inventories, that is, raw materials and finished goods for resale, are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value, thereby taking into account the risk of obsolescence. The cost is calculated using the first in, first out (FIFO) principle or weighted average prices. In the case of finished and semi-finished goods manufactured in-house, the cost consists of direct manufacturing costs and a reasonable portion of indirect manufacturing costs. Normal capacity utilisation is taken into account in valuation.
