The fair value and carrying amount are recognized in the balance sheet as shown in the table above. For currency contracts and embedded derivatives, the fair value is determined on the basis of observable market data, level 2. For conditional purchase considerations, cash flow analyses, which are not based on observable market data, are carried out, level 3. For the Group's other financial assets and liabilities fair value is estimated to be the same as the carrying amount.

Accounting principle
Derivatives and currency hedging
Foreign currency exposure related to future contractual and forecasted flows is hedged with forward exchange contracts, swaps and currency clauses in customer and supplier contracts. An embedded derivative, for example a currency clause, is disclosed separately unless closely related to its host contract. After the initial recognition, the derivative instrument is measured at fair value. Neither futures, swaps nor embedded derivatives in currency clauses are reported as hedging at this time. Increases and decreases in value are recognised as income or expense in operating profit.
Hedging of the Group's net investment in foreign operations
The Group has taken out loans denominated in foreign currency relating to the acquisition of foreign subsidiaries in order to manage the exposure in net investment. The Group applies the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9. The Group documents, at the inception of the hedge, the relationship between hedged items (net investments) and hedging instruments (loan in foreign currency), as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Hedge effectiveness is also documented on an ongoing basis regarding the financial relationship between the two items and the hedging ratio. Any gain or loss on the effective portion of the hedge (100%) is reported in equity through other comprehensive income. Gains and losses that have been accumulated in equity are taken to profit or loss when the foreign operation is divested as a portion of the gain or loss on disposal.
