Accounting principle

The Group’s lease contracts primarily comprise premises, vehicles, machinery and equipment as well as office equipment. The Group applies the exemptions to expense short-term leases and leases of low-value linearly over the lease term. The Group presents three categories of right-of-use assets: premises, vehicles and other. 

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognise a lease liability at the present value of future lease payments to be made during the term of the lease. The lease term is determined as the non-cancellable lease term together with any periods to extend or terminate the lease that are reasonably certain to be exercised. When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group applies the implicit interest rate if it is readily determinable. Otherwise, the incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease is applied. The incremental borrowing rate is based on the country in which the leased asset is localised, the term of the lease with the addition of a company specific risk premium. 

Lease payments are discounted with a discount rate based on the country's underlying currency, length of contract and underlying interest with a supplement for company-specific risk premium. The discount rate is the same for all assets, unless a specific interest rate is specified in the agreement.

Lease payments related to short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as operating expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Assets with low value include, among other things, printers and copying machines.
