   "value": "Going concern Based on the Group\u2019s liquidity position and cash flow  projections, including a forward looking remote downside  scenario, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the  Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue  in operational existence for the foreseeable future and they  continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in  preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year  ended 31 January 2023. The Group\u2019s business activities, together with the factors likely  to affect its future development, performance and position  are set out in the strategic report on pages 1 to 61. The financial  position of the Group, its cash flows, liquidity position and  borrowing facilities are described in the Financial Review on  pages 39 to 46. The principal risks and viability statement of the  Group are set out on pages 51 to 60. In addition, note 25 includes  the Group\u2019s financial risk management objectives and exposures  to liquidity and other financial risks. The Directors have  considered these areas alongside the principal risks and how  they may impact the going concern assessment. The new financial year has started encouragingly, and despite  the volatile trading environment, underlying sales trends remain  resilient across all our banners (Q1 LFL sales (to 28 February  2023) +0.5%). As of 31 January 2023, Kingfisher had access to over \u00a3800m  of liquidity, comprising cash and cash equivalents (net of bank  overdrafts) of \u00a3270m and access to an undrawn Revolving  Credit Facility (RCF) of \u00a3550m (expiring at the end of May 2025).  The ratio of net debt to EBITDA on an IFRS 16 basis was 1.6 as of  31 January 2023. In considering whether the Group\u2019s financial statements can be  prepared on a going concern basis, the Directors have reviewed  the Group\u2019s business activities together with factors likely to  affect its performance, financial position and access to liquidity  (including consideration of financial covenants and credit ratings). While trading continues to be resilient, in forming their outlook  on the future financial performance, the Directors considered  the risk of higher business volatility and the potential negative  impact of the general economic environment on household  and trade spend. The Directors\u2019 review also included consideration of a remote  scenario that models the impact of a significant demand or  supply shock preventing the Group from realising a large part  of its sales over the period of a month followed by subdued  demand for the remainder of the year. The total loss of sales  in this scenario is c.\u00a32.2bn (16% over the impacted period). The  scenario assumes the impact of lost sales is partially offset by  a limited set of mitigating actions on variable and discretionary  costs, capital expenditure and the suspension of capital returns  to shareholders. Even under this remote scenario, which  requires drawing on the RCF for a few months, the Group  retains headroom on its credit facilities. Given current trading and expectations for the business, the  Directors believe that this scenario reflects a remote outcome  for the Group. Should a more extreme scenario occur than  currently modelled by the Directors under this remote scenario,  the Group would need to implement additional operational or  financial measures. ",

Kingfisher believes that retail profit, adjusted pre-tax<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>profit, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted earnings per<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>share provide additional useful information on performance and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>trends to shareholders. These and other non-GAAP measures<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>(also known as \u2018Alternative Performance Measures\u2019), such as net<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>debt, are used by Kingfisher for internal performance analysis<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and incentive compensation arrangements for employees.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Associates are entities over which the Group has the ability<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to exercise significant influence but not control or joint control,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>generally accompanied by a shareholding of between 20% and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>50% of the voting rights. The equity method is used to account<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>for the Group\u2019s investments in associates.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Under the equity method, investments are initially recognised<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>at cost. The Group\u2019s share of post-acquisition profits or losses<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>is recognised in the income statement within operating profit,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and its share of post-acquisition movements in other<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the Group\u2019s share of losses equals or exceeds its interest,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>including any other long-term receivables, the Group does not<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recognise any further losses, unless it has incurred obligations<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>or made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associate.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the Group\u2019s interest.

The consideration<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>in a business combination are measured initially at their fair<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest\u2019s<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>proportionate share of the acquiree\u2019s net assets. Subsequent<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>non-controlling interests\u2019 share of subsequent changes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interests<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the income statement.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>transferred. Accounting policies of acquired subsidiaries have<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the policies adopted by the Group.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>(ii) <span class=\"_ _1f8\"> </span>Joint ventures and associates<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Joint ventures are entities over which the Group has joint<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of the parties sharing control. The equity method is used<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to account for the Group\u2019s investments in joint ventures.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Revenue from in-store product sales is recognised when the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>customer takes possession of the products (i.e. on payment).<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Revenue from online \u2018click &amp; collect\u2019 product sales is recognised<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>on collection of the products. Where customers have a right to<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>return purchased goods in exchange for a refund, a liability for<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>returns is recognised based on historic trends and offset against<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>revenue in the period in which the sale was made. An asset (with<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales) is also recognised<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>for goods expected to be returned from customers. Where<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>award credits such as vouchers or loyalty points are provided as<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>part of the sales transaction, the amount allocated to the credits<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>is deferred and recognised when the credits are redeemed and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the Group fulfils its obligations to supply the awards.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Revenue from sales of delivered products is recognised on<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>delivery. Supply of delivered products is judged to be one single<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>performance obligation.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Service sales typically comprise kitchen and bathroom<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>installations. Revenue from these services is recognised<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>on completion of the relevant installation.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Commission revenue is earned from the sale of third-party<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>products through Kingfisher websites. This is referred to as a<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>marketplace arrangement. Kingfisher acts as an agent in such<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>arrangements and recognises the net commission receivable<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>within sales, generally when an order is placed.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Sales from delivered products, installation services and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>marketplace arrangements represent only a small component<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of the Group\u2019s sales as the majority relates to in-store and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>online \u2018click &amp; collect\u2019 purchases of products.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Other income includes external rental income and gains on<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>disposal of assets. Rental income from operating leases is<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>relevant lease.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>e. Rebates<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Rebates received from suppliers mainly comprise volume<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>related rebates on the purchase of inventories. Contractual<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>volume related rebates are accrued as units are purchased<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>based on the percentage rebate applicable to forecast total<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>purchases over the rebate period, where it is probable the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>rebates will be received and the amounts can be estimated<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>reliably. Discretionary rebates are not anticipated and only<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recognised once earned. Rebates relating to inventories<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>purchased but still held at the balance sheet date are deducted<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>from the carrying value so that the cost of inventories is recorded<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>net of applicable rebates.

Typically, lease contracts relate<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to properties such as stores and distribution centres, and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>equipment leases such as mechanical handling equipment<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and vehicles. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less)<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and leases of low value assets.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>payments not yet paid at the commencement date, discounted<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>at an appropriate discount rate. Where the implicit rate in the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>lease is not readily determinable, an incremental borrowing rate<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>is calculated and applied. The calculation methodology is based<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>upon applying a financing spread to a risk-free rate, with the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>resulting rate including the effect of the creditworthiness of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the operating company in which the lease is contracted, as<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>well as the underlying term, currency and start date of the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>lease agreement.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Lease payments used in the measurement of the lease<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>liability principally comprise fixed lease payments (subject to<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>indexation/rent reviews) less any incentives. The lease liability<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>is subsequently measured using an effective interest method<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>whereby the carrying amount of the lease liability is measured<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>on an amortised cost basis, and the interest expense is<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>allocated over the lease term. The lease term comprises<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the non-cancellable lease term, in addition to optional periods<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>extend (or not to terminate) a lease.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group remeasures the lease liability and makes a<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>whenever an event occurs that changes the term or payment<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>profile of a lease, such as the renewal of an existing lease,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the exercise of lease term options, market rent reviews and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>indexation. A lease liability which is denominated in a currency<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>that is not the functional currency of the relevant Group entity<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>(e.g. a Euro-denominated lease in Castorama Poland) is<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>translated into that entity\u2019s functional currency with foreign<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>exchange gains and losses recorded in the income statement,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>unless the lease liability is able to be designated as a net<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>investment hedge with foreign exchange gains and losses<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recorded in other comprehensive income.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount equal<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to the lease liability, adjusted by any upfront lease payments or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>incentives and any initial direct costs incurred. Subsequently,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Lessor accounting<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the contract is classified as a finance lease.

The timing of recognition of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>a liability to pay an operating levy is determined by the event<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>identified under the relevant legislation that triggers the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>obligation to pay the levy.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>o. <span class=\"_ _b\"> </span>Provisions and contingent liabilities<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is more<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>A provision is recorded if the unavoidable costs of meeting<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>expected to be received under it. The unavoidable costs reflect<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the net cost of exiting the contract.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>at a pre-tax rate which reflects current market assessments<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>specific to the liability. Credits or charges arising from changes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>in the rate used to discount the provisions are recognised within<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>net finance costs.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The asset or liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of defined benefit pension schemes is the fair value of scheme<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit obligation is<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>calculated annually by independent actuaries using the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>corporate bonds which are denominated in the currency in<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>which the benefits will be paid and which have terms to maturity<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>or charged to the statement of comprehensive income as<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>they arise.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>For defined contribution schemes, the Group has no further<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>when they are due.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>(ii) <span class=\"_ _1f8\"> </span>Share-based compensation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group operates several equity-settled, share-based<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>compensation schemes. The fair value of the employee<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>services received in exchange for the grant of options or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>deferred shares is recognised as an expense and is calculated<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>using Black-Scholes and stochastic models. The total amount<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>reference to the fair value of the options or deferred shares<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>conditions. The value of the charge is adjusted to reflect<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>expected and actual levels of options vesting due to non-market vesting conditions.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>n. Taxation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>taxable profit for the year.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>business. For uncertain tax positions, on the basis that tax<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>authorities have full knowledge of the relevant information it is<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>determined whether it is probable that, in aggregate, an outflow<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of economic resources will occur following investigation. The<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>potential impact of the relevant tax authority\u2019s examination<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of the uncertain tax positions is measured to make the best<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>estimate of the amount of the tax benefit that may be lost, for<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>which liabilities are then recorded. Where the final outcome of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>these matters is different from the amounts which were initially<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>deferred tax liabilities in the period in which such determination<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>is made. These adjustments in respect of prior years are<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recorded in the income statement, or directly in equity,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>as appropriate.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Taxable profit differs from profit before taxation as reported in<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the income statement because it excludes items of income or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>expense which are taxable or deductible in other years or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>which are never taxable or deductible.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of host<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>contracts, and the host contracts are not carried at fair value with<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>unrealised gains or losses reported in the income statement.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Where hedge accounting is not applied, or to the extent to which<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>it is not effective, changes in the fair value of derivatives are<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recognised in the income statement as they arise. Changes in<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the fair value of derivatives transacted as hedges of operating<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>items and financing items are recognised in operating profit and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>net finance costs respectively.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The accounting treatment of derivatives and other financial<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>instruments classified as hedges depends on their designation,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>which occurs at the start of the hedge relationship. The Group<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>designates certain financial instruments as:<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span>a hedge of the fair value of an asset or liability or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>unrecognised firm commitment (\u2018fair value hedge\u2019);<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span>a hedge of a highly probable forecast transaction or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>firm commitment if foreign currency risk is hedged<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>(\u2018cash flow hedge\u2019); or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span>a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>(\u2018net investment hedge\u2019).<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Fair value hedges<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>For an effective hedge of an exposure to changes in fair value,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the hedged item is adjusted for changes in fair value attributable<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to the risk being hedged with the corresponding entry being<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recorded in the income statement. Gains or losses from<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>remeasuring the corresponding hedging instrument are<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recognised in the same line of the income statement.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Cash flow hedges<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>derivatives that are designated as hedges of future cash<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>flows are recognised directly in other comprehensive income,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>with any ineffective portion being recognised immediately in<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the income statement where relevant. If the cash flow hedge<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of a firm commitment or forecast transaction results in the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, then, at the time<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>it is recognised, the associated gains or losses on the derivative<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>that had previously been deferred in equity are included in the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>initial measurement of the non-financial asset or liability. For all<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>other hedges, amounts deferred in equity are recognised in the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>income statement in the same period in which the hedged item<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>affects net profit or loss.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Net investment hedges<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Where the Group hedges net investments in foreign<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>operations through foreign currency borrowings or lease<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>liabilities, the gains or losses on retranslation are recognised in<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>other comprehensive income. If the Group uses derivatives as<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the hedging instrument, the effective portion of the hedge is<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recognised in other comprehensive income, with any ineffective<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>portion being recognised immediately in the income statement.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Gains and losses accumulated in equity are recycled through<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the income statement on disposal of the foreign operation.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>2 <span class=\"_ _e\"> </span>Principal accounting policies continued<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Contingent liabilities are possible obligations arising from<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>past events, whose existence will only be confirmed by future<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>uncertain events that are not wholly within the Group\u2019s control,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>or present obligations where it is not probable that an outflow<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of resources will be required or the amount of the obligation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>cannot be reliably measured.

These<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>procedures, by their nature, require estimates and assumptions<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to be made. The most significant are set out below.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Store assets are reviewed for impairment if events or changes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recoverable, or where there is any indication that an impairment<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>loss recognised in a previous period either no longer exists or<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>has decreased. When a review for impairment is conducted,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash generating unit<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>is determined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>value-in-use.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The determination of value-in-use for store assets requires<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the estimation of future cash flows expected to arise from<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the continuing operation of the store and the determination<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of suitable discount and long-term growth rates in order<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to calculate the present value of the forecast cash flows.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Judgement is also required around the nature and level of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>overheads that are necessarily incurred to generate cash<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>inflows in the context of allocation to individual store cash<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>generating units. Note that the estimation of future cash flows<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and determination of suitable discount rates requires a greater<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>level of judgement than the determination of long-term growth<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>rates, with discount rates also having been subject to greater<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>recent volatility.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Sales projections take into consideration both external factors<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>such as market expectations, and internal factors such as trading<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>plans. For certain stores, they assume sales increases that are<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>higher than recent (pre-pandemic) experience and market<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>growth expectations, driven by an improved and differentiated<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>offer. Assumed margin percentage improvements reflect<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>increased sales of the Group\u2019s own exclusive brands (OEB)<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>as well as lower cost of sales from leveraging our key vendors,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and better clearance management. Higher assumed operating<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>profit percentages reflect operational leverage from increased<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>sales as well as cost savings through operational efficiencies,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>including more efficient organisation and leveraging our goods<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>not for resale (GNFR) spend. Actual outcomes could vary<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>significantly from these estimates and sensitivity analyses<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>are undertaken to assess the impact of projected benefits<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>not being realised.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The pre-tax discount rates applied to the cash flow forecasts<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>are derived from the post-tax weighted average cost of capital<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>for each of the territories in which the Group operates. The<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>assumptions used in the calculation of the weighted average<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>cost of capital are based on observable external market data.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Cash flows beyond the period of the strategic plans are<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>calculated using a long-term growth rate which does not exceed<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the long-term average growth rates for the countries in which<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the Group\u2019s stores operate.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>To support our net zero ambitions, the Group continues to<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>invest in \u2018greener\u2019 fixed assets which replace existing fixed<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>assets. The Group has not recognised any material impairment<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>or accelerated depreciation to existing fixed assets resulting<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>from this activity.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Current assets including trade receivables and inventories are<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>expected to be received and utilised respectively within a shor<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>timeframe, and therefore no climate-related risks have been<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>identified for these balances, whilst the Group is not currently<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>aware of adverse exposures from climate change requiring<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>provisions to be recognised.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group\u2019s internal three-year financial planning acts as the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>basis for the Viability Statement financial modelling and for<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>impairment reviews of non-current assets including goodwill.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>It includes climate-related costs and opportunities expected<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>within the internal financial planning time horizon.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Within the Viability Statement modelling, cash flow sensitivities<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>are performed, for which the most severe scenario estimates<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the impact of a demand or supply shock preventing the Group<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>from realising a large part of its sales during the peak trading<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>period. The shock, as described in the Viability Statement on<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>pages 59 to 60, would go significantly beyond the expected<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>short-term impact from a remote climate-driven extreme<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>weather event, such as severe flooding and the resulting<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>damage to one or more of the group\u2019s distribution centres.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The financial modelling of climate change scenarios performed<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>by an external party, as described in the TCFD disclosure on<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>pages 27 to 35, identified significant increases in carbon taxes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>as potentially having the largest adverse impact on the Group\u2019s<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>discounted cashflows, at 1-5%. Given that this is below the 10%<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>reduction in cash flows performed for impairment sensitivity<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>analysis above, combined with the most significant potential<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>impact of the carbon tax increase being beyond the Group\u2019s<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>three-year financial planning period, it is not judged to be a key<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>driver in determining the outcome of this exercise, nor that of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the Viability Statement.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Therefore, the Group has concluded that climate change<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>risk does not represent a critical accounting judgement or key<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>source of estimation uncertainty for the current year financial<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>statements. This classification will be reassessed in future<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>reporting periods as we continue to review the impacts,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>risks and opportunities presented by climate change and the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Group\u2019s commitments to address the challenges presented.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Income taxes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>in which it operates and there are many transactions for which<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the ultimate tax determination is open to differing interpretations<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>may therefore be required in determining the liability for income<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>taxes in each of these territories. Where it is anticipated that<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>additional taxes are probable, the Group recognises liabilities<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>for the estimate of any potential exposure. These judgements<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>are continually reassessed, and where the final outcome of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>these matters is different from the initially recorded amount,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>These adjustments in respect of prior years are recorded in<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the income statement, or directly in other comprehensive<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>income as appropriate, and are disclosed in the notes to<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the accounts. Refer to notes 10 and 26.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Judgement has continued to be required in determining the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>outcome of the European Commission\u2019s state aid investigation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>into the Group Financing Exemption section of the UK controlled<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>foreign company rules. In January 2021, the Group received a<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>charging notice from HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) for \u00a357m,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>which was paid in February 2021, with a further \u00a37m interest paid<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>in April 2021.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The UK Government and the Group, along with other UK-based<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>multinational groups, appealed the European Commission<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>decision to the European Courts. On 8 June 2022, the General<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Court of the European Union dismissed several of those appeals,<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>including the UK Government\u2019s. This decision has been appealed<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>to the European Court of Justice.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The final impact on the Group remains uncertain but based<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>upon advice taken, the Group considers that the amount paid<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of \u00a364m, which is included in non-current assets, will ultimately<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>be recovered. Further details are provided in note 35.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Consideration of climate-related matters<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>In preparing these financial statements, the Group has<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>considered the elevation of climate change from an \u2018emerging<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>risk\u2019 to a \u2018principal risk\u2019 and the potential impacts of climate<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>change on these financials. As set out on pages 51 to 58 of the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Strategic Report, the elevation from an emerging risk to a principal risk is predominantly driven by operational and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>reputational risk to the group, not by the increase in financial<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>risk in the short term. The expectation of limited financial<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>impacts is supported by the modelling work described in the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>TCFD disclosures on pages 27 to 35, the financial impacts<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of which are smaller than the results of the Group\u2019s impairment<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>sensitivity analysis on operating cash flows, see above.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The potential impacts of climate change on the financials have<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>been considered in the following areas:<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span>Carrying value and remaining useful economic lives of<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>property, plant and equipment;<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span>Carrying value of inventories and valuations of other assets<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>and of provisions;<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span>Viability statement assessment of the Group over the next<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>three years;

The projections reflect the expected benefits from certain strategic<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>initiatives, including an increased offer, an improved digital journey and improved operational efficiency. As required under IFRS, cash<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>flows related to uncommitted future restructurings and enhancement capital expenditure are excluded from the projections for<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>impairment testing purposes. For further details, refer to the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 61.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Key drivers in the strategic plans are sales growth, margin and operating profit percentages. Sales projections take into consideration<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>both external factors such as market expectations, and internal factors such as execution on our strategy. They assume sales<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>increases in each country that are driven by an enlarged offer, an improved digital journey and local trading initiatives, supported<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>by structural changes in the growth of the home improvement market. Assumed gross margin percentages benefit from increased<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>sales of the Group\u2019s higher margin own exclusive brands (OEB), vendor negotiations and operational leverage from increased sales<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>on logistics and distribution costs. Assumed operating profit percentages reflect better utilisation of fixed costs as well as cost<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>savings through operational efficiencies, including a more efficient organisation and leveraging our goods-not-for-resale spend.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Cash flows beyond the period of the strategic plans are calculated using a growth rate which does not exceed the long-term average<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>growth rate for the countries in which the Group\u2019s CGUs operate.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Board has reviewed a sensitivity analysis and does not consider that a reasonably possible change in the assumptions used in the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>value-in-use calculations would cause the carrying amounts of the UK, France and Poland CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The pre-tax discount rates are derived from the Group\u2019s weighted average cost of capital, taking into account the cost of equity and<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>debt, to which specific market-related premium adjustments are made for each country in which the CGU operates.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The risk

The Trustee Board consists of ten Trustee Directors, made up of five </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs912\">employer-appointed Directors, one independent Director and four member-nominated Directors.

The Trustee Board regularly reviews such risks and mitigating controls, with a risk register being </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs917\">formally approved on an annual basis.

Following this valuation and in accordance with the scheme\u2019s Statement of Funding </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs91d\">Principles, the Trustee and Kingfisher have agreed to cease annual employer contributions during the period from August 2022 </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs91e\">to July 2025. This agreement has been reached with reference to a funding objective that targets a longer-term, low risk funding </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs91f\">position in excess of the minimum statutory funding requirements. This longer-term objective is based on the principle of the scheme </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs920\">reaching a point where it can provide benefits to members with a high level of security, thereby limiting its reliance on the employer </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs921\">for future support.

These investments followed Group contributions of the same amounts into the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>scheme. In accordance with IAS 19, \u2018Employee benefits\u2019, the investments held by the scheme in Kingfisher SLP do not represent plan<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>assets for the purposes of the Group\u2019s consolidated financial statements.

The Group retains control over these properties, including the flexibility to substitute<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>alternative properties. The Trustee has a first charge over the properties in the event that Kingfisher plc becomes insolvent.

While the Group has complied with the requirements of UK tax law in force at the time, in April 2019<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the European Commission concluded that aspects of the UK controlled foreign company regime partially constitute illegal state aid.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>In January 2021, the Group received a charging notice from HM Revenue &amp; Customs for \u00a357m, which was paid in February 2021, with<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>a further \u00a37m interest paid in April 2021.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The UK Government and the Group, along with other UK-based multinational groups, appealed the European Commission decision to<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>the European Courts. On 8 June 2022, the General Court of the European Union dismissed several of those appeals, including the UK<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Government\u2019s. This decision has been appealed to the European Court of Justice.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The final impact on the Group remains uncertain but, based upon advice taken, the Group continues to consider that the amount paid<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>of \u00a364m, which is included in non-current assets, will ultimately be recovered.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Whilst the procedures that must be followed to resolve these types of tax issues make it likely that it will be some years before the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>eventual outcome is known, the Group does not currently expect the outcome of these contingent liabilities to have a material effect<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>on the Group\u2019s financial position.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>36 <span class=\"_ _33\"> </span>Related party transactions<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>During the year, the Group carried out a number of transactions with related parties in the normal course of business and on an arm\u2019s<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>length basis.

   "value": "Use of non-GAAP measures In the reporting of financial information, the Group uses  certain measures that are not required under IFRS, the generally  accepted accounting principles (\u2018GAAP\u2019) under which the Group  reports. Kingfisher believes that retail profit, adjusted pre-tax  profit, adjusted effective tax rate, and adjusted earnings per  share provide additional useful information on performance and  trends to shareholders. These and other non-GAAP measures  (also known as \u2018Alternative Performance Measures\u2019), such as net  debt, are used by Kingfisher for internal performance analysis  and incentive compensation arrangements for employees. The terms \u2018retail profit\u2019, \u2018adjusting items\u2019, \u2018adjusted\u2019, \u2018adjusted  effective tax rate\u2019, \u2018net cashflow\u2019 and \u2018net debt\u2019 are not defined  terms under IFRS and may therefore not be comparable with  similarly titled measures reported by other companies. They are  not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP measures. Retail profit is defined as continuing operating profit before  central costs, the Group\u2019s share of interest and tax of joint  ventures and associates and adjusting items. Central costs  principally comprise the costs of the Group\u2019s head office  before adjusting items. Adjusting items, which are presented separately within their  relevant income statement category, include items which by  virtue of their size and/or nature, do not reflect the Group\u2019s  ongoing trading performance. Adjusting items may include,  but are not limited to:  \u2014 non-trading items included in operating profit such  as profits and losses on the disposal, closure, exit or  impairment of subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and  investments which do not form part of the Group\u2019s ongoing  trading activities;  \u2014 the costs of significant restructuring and incremental  acquisition integration costs;  \u2014 profits and losses on the disposal/exit of properties,  impairments of goodwill and significant impairments  (or impairment reversals) of other non-current assets;  \u2014 prior year tax items (including the impact of changes in tax  rates on deferred tax), significant one-off tax settlements  and provision charges/releases and the tax effects of other  adjusting items;  \u2014 financing fair value remeasurements i.e. changes in the fair  value of financing derivatives, excluding interest accruals,  offset by fair value adjustments to the carrying amount  of borrowings and other hedged items under fair value  (or non-designated) hedge relationships. Financing  derivatives are those that relate to hedged items of  a financing nature. The term \u2018adjusted\u2019 refers to the relevant measure being  reported for continuing operations excluding adjusting items. The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated as continuing  income tax expense excluding prior year tax items (including  the impact of changes in tax rates on deferred tax), significant  one-off tax settlements and provision charges/releases and the  tax effects of other adjusting items, divided by continuing profit  before taxation excluding adjusting items. Prior year tax items  represent income statement tax relating to underlying items  originally arising in prior years, including the impact of changes in  tax rates on deferred tax. The exclusion of items relating to prior  years, and those not in the ordinary course of business, helps  provide a better indication of the Group\u2019s ongoing rate of tax. Net debt comprises lease liabilities, borrowings and financing  derivatives (excluding accrued interest) less cash and cash  equivalents and short-term deposits, including such balances  classified as held for sale. Refer to the Financial Review for definitions of all of the Group\u2019s  Alternative Performance Measures, including further information  on why they are used and details of where reconciliations to  statutory measures can be found where applicable.

(ii)  Transactions and balances Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated  into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on  the date of the transaction or, for practical reasons, at average  monthly rates where exchange rates do not fluctuate significantly. 2  Principal accounting policies continued Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign  currencies are translated into Sterling at the rates of exchange  at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences on monetary  items are taken to the income statement. Exceptions to this  are where the monetary items form part of the net investment  in a foreign operation or are designated and effective net  investment hedges. Such exchange differences are initially  deferred in equity. (iii)  Group companies The balance sheets of overseas subsidiaries are expressed  in Sterling at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date.  Profits and losses of overseas subsidiaries are expressed in  Sterling at average exchange rates for the period. Exchange  differences arising on the retranslation of foreign operations,  including joint ventures and associates, are recognised in a  separate component of equity.

   "value": "b.  Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial  statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, joint ventures  and associates. (i) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over  which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when  the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from  its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect  those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries acquired are recorded under the acquisition  method of accounting and their results included from the date  of acquisition. The results of subsidiaries which have been disposed are  included up to the effective date of disposal. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary  is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred  and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration  transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability  resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement.  Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable  assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed  in a business combination are measured initially at their fair  values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition  basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the  acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest\u2019s  proportionate share of the acquiree\u2019s net assets. Subsequent  to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests  is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the  non-controlling interests\u2019 share of subsequent changes  in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to  non-controlling interests even if this results in the  non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount  of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the  acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interests  in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets  acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value  of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a  bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in  the income statement. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains  on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on  consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the  transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset  transferred. Accounting policies of acquired subsidiaries have  been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with  the policies adopted by the Group. (ii)  Joint ventures and associates Joint ventures are entities over which the Group has joint  control. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of  control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions  about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent  of the parties sharing control. The equity method is used  to account for the Group\u2019s investments in joint ventures. Associates are entities over which the Group has the ability  to exercise significant influence but not control or joint control,  generally accompanied by a shareholding of between 20% and  50% of the voting rights. The equity method is used to account  for the Group\u2019s investments in associates. Under the equity method, investments are initially recognised  at cost. The Group\u2019s share of post-acquisition profits or losses  is recognised in the income statement within operating profit,  and its share of post-acquisition movements in other  comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive  income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are  adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When  the Group\u2019s share of losses equals or exceeds its interest,  including any other long-term receivables, the Group does not  recognise any further losses, unless it has incurred obligations  or made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associate. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its  joint ventures and associates are eliminated to the extent of  the Group\u2019s interest. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless  the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset  transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures and associates  have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency  with the policies adopted by the Group. The equity method of accounting is discontinued from the date  an investment ceases to be a joint venture or associate, that is  the date on which the Group ceases to have joint control or  significant influence over the investee or on the date it is  classified as held for sale. In March 2022, the three-year cumulative inflation in Turkey  exceeded 100% and as a result, hyperinflationary accounting  was applied for the year ended 31 January 2023 in respect of  the group\u2019s joint venture in Turkey. The group\u2019s consolidated financial statements include the  equity accounted results and financial position of its Turkish joint  venture restated to the current purchasing power at the end of  the period, with hyperinflationary gains and losses in respect of  monetary items being reported in operating profit. Note, IAS 29 does not require the restatement of prior year  comparative figures in the consolidated financial statements.  For 2022/23, the application of IAS 29 has resulted in a \u00a39m  increase in the Group\u2019s investment in the joint venture, a \u00a34m  charge to the consolidated income statement and a \u00a313m  credit to Other Comprehensive Income.

   "value": "m.  Employee benefits (i)  Post-employment benefits The Group operates various defined benefit and defined  contribution pension schemes for its employees, some of  which are required by local legislation. A defined benefit  scheme is a pension scheme which defines an amount of  pension benefit which an employee will receive on retirement.  A defined contribution scheme is a pension scheme under which  the Group usually pays fixed contributions into a separate entity.  In all cases other than some of the legally required schemes,  a separate fund is being accumulated to meet the accruing  liabilities. The assets of each of these funds are either held  under trusts or managed by insurance companies and are  entirely separate from the Group\u2019s assets. The asset or liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect  of defined benefit pension schemes is the fair value of scheme  assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation  at the balance sheet date. The defined benefit obligation is  calculated annually by independent actuaries using the  projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined  benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated  future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality  corporate bonds which are denominated in the currency in  which the benefits will be paid and which have terms to maturity  approximating to the terms of the related pension liability. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience  adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are credited  or charged to the statement of comprehensive income as  they arise. For defined contribution schemes, the Group has no further  payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The  contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense  when they are due. (ii)  Share-based compensation The Group operates several equity-settled, share-based  compensation schemes. The fair value of the employee  services received in exchange for the grant of options or  deferred shares is recognised as an expense and is calculated  using Black-Scholes and stochastic models. The total amount  to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by  reference to the fair value of the options or deferred shares  granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting  conditions.

   "value": "i.  Leased assets The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease  at inception of the contract. Typically, lease contracts relate  to properties such as stores and distribution centres, and  equipment leases such as mechanical handling equipment  and vehicles. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset  and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease  arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term  leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less)  and leases of low value assets. The liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease  payments not yet paid at the commencement date, discounted  at an appropriate discount rate. Where the implicit rate in the  lease is not readily determinable, an incremental borrowing rate  is calculated and applied. The calculation methodology is based  upon applying a financing spread to a risk-free rate, with the  resulting rate including the effect of the creditworthiness of  the operating company in which the lease is contracted, as  well as the underlying term, currency and start date of the  lease agreement. Lease payments used in the measurement of the lease  liability principally comprise fixed lease payments (subject to  indexation/rent reviews) less any incentives. The lease liability  is subsequently measured using an effective interest method  whereby the carrying amount of the lease liability is measured  on an amortised cost basis, and the interest expense is  allocated over the lease term. The lease term comprises  the non-cancellable lease term, in addition to optional periods  when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to  extend (or not to terminate) a lease. The Group remeasures the lease liability and makes a  corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset  whenever an event occurs that changes the term or payment  profile of a lease, such as the renewal of an existing lease,  the exercise of lease term options, market rent reviews and  indexation. A lease liability which is denominated in a currency  that is not the functional currency of the relevant Group entity  (e.g. a Euro-denominated lease in Castorama Poland) is  translated into that entity\u2019s functional currency with foreign  exchange gains and losses recorded in the income statement,  unless the lease liability is able to be designated as a net  investment hedge with foreign exchange gains and losses  recorded in other comprehensive income. The right-of-use assets are initially measured at the amount equal  to the lease liability, adjusted by any upfront lease payments or  incentives and any initial direct costs incurred. Subsequently,  the assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation  and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on  a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. Lessor accounting Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as finance  or operating leases. Whenever the terms of the lease transfer  substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee,  the contract is classified as a finance lease. All other leases are  classified as operating leases. When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for  the head lease and the sub-lease as two separate contracts.  The sub-lease is classified as a finance or operating lease by  reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a  straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recognised  as receivables at the amount of the Group\u2019s net investment in  the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting  periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on  the Group\u2019s net investment outstanding in respect of the leases. ",

The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions  and there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax  determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of  business. For uncertain tax positions, on the basis that tax  authorities have full knowledge of the relevant information it is  determined whether it is probable that, in aggregate, an outflow  of economic resources will occur following investigation. The  potential impact of the relevant tax authority\u2019s examination  of the uncertain tax positions is measured to make the best  estimate of the amount of the tax benefit that may be lost, for  which liabilities are then recorded. Where the final outcome of  these matters is different from the amounts which were initially  recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and  deferred tax liabilities in the period in which such determination  is made. These adjustments in respect of prior years are  recorded in the income statement, or directly in equity,  as appropriate. Taxable profit differs from profit before taxation as reported in  the income statement because it excludes items of income or  expense which are taxable or deductible in other years or  which are never taxable or deductible. Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable  on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and  liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is  accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable  temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to  the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available  against which deductible temporary differences or unused tax  losses can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised  if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition  of goodwill in a business combination. Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises  from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination)  of other assets and liabilities in a transaction which affects  neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred  tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences  arising on investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and  associates, except where the Group is able to control the  reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the  temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each  balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer  probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow  all or part of the asset to be recovered. Current and deferred tax are calculated using tax rates which  have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance  sheet date and are expected to apply in the period when the  liability is settled or the asset is realised. Current and deferred tax are charged or credited to the income  statement, except when they relate to items charged or credited  to other comprehensive income or directly to equity, in which  case the current or deferred tax is also recognised in other  comprehensive income or directly in equity. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset against  each other when they relate to income taxes levied by the same  tax jurisdiction and when the Group intends to settle its current  tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Operating levies, such as certain revenue, property and  payroll-based taxes, are not treated as income tax and are  included within operating profit. The timing of recognition of  a liability to pay an operating levy is determined by the event  identified under the relevant legislation that triggers the  obligation to pay the levy. ",

   "value": "n. Taxation The income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently  payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on  taxable profit for the year. The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions  and there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax  determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of  business. For uncertain tax positions, on the basis that tax  authorities have full knowledge of the relevant information it is  determined whether it is probable that, in aggregate, an outflow  of economic resources will occur following investigation. The  potential impact of the relevant tax authority\u2019s examination  of the uncertain tax positions is measured to make the best  estimate of the amount of the tax benefit that may be lost, for  which liabilities are then recorded.

   "value": "p.  Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the  Group\u2019s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to  the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial  assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the  cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Group has  substantially transferred the risks and rewards of ownership.  Financial liabilities (or a part of a financial liability) are  derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is  discharged or cancelled or expires or are substantially modified. Financial assets and liabilities are offset only when the Group  has a currently enforceable legal right to set-off the respective  recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis,  or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (i)  Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, uncleared  credit card receipts, deposits held on call with banks and other  short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities  of three months or less. For cashflow statement reporting  purposes, the Group considers bank overdrafts as part of  cash and cash equivalents because they are repayable on  demand and form part of the Group\u2019s cash management. (ii) Borrowings Interest bearing borrowings are recorded at fair value (which  is typically equivalent to the proceeds received) net of direct  issue costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost.  Where borrowings are in designated and effective fair value  hedge relationships, adjustments are made to their carrying  amounts to reflect the hedged risks. Finance charges, including  premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct  issue costs, are amortised to the income statement using  the effective interest method. (iii)  Trade receivables Trade receivables are initially recognised at their transaction  price and are subsequently measured at amortised cost less  any allowance for expected credit losses. To measure the  expected credit losses, trade receivables are grouped based  on the days past due. Trade receivables are written off when  there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. (iv)  Trade payables Trade payables are initially recognised at fair value and are  subsequently measured at amortised cost. (v)  Derivatives and hedge accounting Derivatives are initially recorded at fair value on the date a  derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently  carried at fair value. Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other  host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their  risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of host  contracts, and the host contracts are not carried at fair value with  unrealised gains or losses reported in the income statement. Where hedge accounting is not applied, or to the extent to which  it is not effective, changes in the fair value of derivatives are  recognised in the income statement as they arise. Changes in  the fair value of derivatives transacted as hedges of operating  items and financing items are recognised in operating profit and  net finance costs respectively. The accounting treatment of derivatives and other financial  instruments classified as hedges depends on their designation,  which occurs at the start of the hedge relationship. The Group  designates certain financial instruments as:  \u2014 a hedge of the fair value of an asset or liability or  unrecognised firm commitment (\u2018fair value hedge\u2019);  \u2014 a hedge of a highly probable forecast transaction or  firm commitment if foreign currency risk is hedged  (\u2018cash flow hedge\u2019); or  \u2014 a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation  (\u2018net investment hedge\u2019). Fair value hedges For an effective hedge of an exposure to changes in fair value,  the hedged item is adjusted for changes in fair value attributable  to the risk being hedged with the corresponding entry being  recorded in the income statement. Gains or losses from  remeasuring the corresponding hedging instrument are  recognised in the same line of the income statement. Cash flow hedges Changes in the effective portion of the fair value of  derivatives that are designated as hedges of future cash  flows are recognised directly in other comprehensive income,  with any ineffective portion being recognised immediately in  the income statement where relevant. If the cash flow hedge  of a firm commitment or forecast transaction results in the  recognition of a non-financial asset or liability, then, at the time  it is recognised, the associated gains or losses on the derivative  that had previously been deferred in equity are included in the  initial measurement of the non-financial asset or liability. For all  other hedges, amounts deferred in equity are recognised in the  income statement in the same period in which the hedged item  affects net profit or loss. Net investment hedges Where the Group hedges net investments in foreign  operations through foreign currency borrowings or lease  liabilities, the gains or losses on retranslation are recognised in  other comprehensive income. If the Group uses derivatives as  the hedging instrument, the effective portion of the hedge is  recognised in other comprehensive income, with any ineffective  portion being recognised immediately in the income statement.

The significant increase in discount rates, combined with  revised financial projections, has resulted in the recognition of \u00a3139m of net store asset impairment charges in the year. These have  been recorded principally in the UK and France. Current year adjusting items include a \u00a33m credit arising due to savings on costs relating to legacy store closure programmes in  France as compared with the original restructuring provisions recognised as adjusting items. An impairment charge of \u00a316m has been recorded relating to the remaining goodwill in Romania, principally driven by the significant  increase in discount rates and revised financial projections. A \u00a34m liability that was held in relation to warranties as part of the Castorama Russia disposal in 2020 has been released in the year  following the expiry of the warranty claims period. A profit of \u00a31m has been recorded on the exit of one property in the UK. Prior year and other adjusting tax items relate principally to deferred tax credits recorded in respect of the impairments noted above  and a release of prior year provisions for uncertain tax positions, which reflect a reassessment of expected outcomes, agreed  positions with tax authorities and items that have time-expired.

The differences are explained below: \u00a3 millions 2022/23 2021/22 Profit before taxation 611 1,007 Profit multiplied by the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK of 19% (2021/22: 19%) (116) (191) Net expense not deductible for tax purposes (18) (8) Temporary differences: Losses not recognised (6) (3) Foreign tax rate differences (6) (21) Adjustments in respect of prior years 4 34 Adjustments in respect of changes in tax rates 2 25 Income tax expense (140) (164) The adjusted effective tax rate on profit before adjusting items is 22% (2021/22: 22%). The effective tax rate calculation is set out in the Financial Review on page 41. The overall tax rate for the year is 23% (2021/22: 16%). This predominately reflects the blend of tax rates and profits in the Group\u2019s various jurisdictions, the applicable tax treatment of adjusting items and losses made by companies which have not been recognised for deferred tax. This has been partially offset by a release of prior year provisions which reflect a reassessment of expected outcomes, agreed positions with tax authorities and items that have time expired. Net expense not deductible for tax purposes does not include any significant values that have been netted off. In addition to the amounts charged to the income statement, tax of \u00a3110m has been credited directly to equity (2021/22: \u00a321m charge) of which a \u00a33m credit (2021/22: \u00a34m credit) is included in current tax and a \u00a3107m credit (2021/22: \u00a325m charge) is included in deferred tax. This principally relates to post-employment benefits. During the year, a payment of \u20ac40m (\u00a334m) was made to the French tax authorities relating to a historic tax liability. This amount was fully provided for at the prior year end. Changes in tax rates The UK Government announced on 3 March 2021 the intention to increase the corporation tax rate from 19% to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023, which was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021. This increase in rate had the effect of reducing the net deferred tax liability as reported by \u00a325m and was reflected in the prior year financial statements. French legislation has progressively reduced the applicable corporate tax rate in France for large companies to 25.83% by 2022/23, which is reflected in these financial statements (2021/22: 28.41%). There were no significant changes to tax rates announced in the year relating to the other overseas territories in which the Group operates. ",

The groups of CGUs for which the carrying amount of goodwill is deemed significant are the UK, France and Poland. The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are set out below. 13  Goodwill continued Assumptions The cash flow projections are based on approved strategic plans covering a three-year period. These are based on both past  performance and expectations for future market development. The projections reflect the expected benefits from certain strategic  initiatives, including an increased offer, an improved digital journey and improved operational efficiency. As required under IFRS, cash  flows related to uncommitted future restructurings and enhancement capital expenditure are excluded from the projections for  impairment testing purposes. For further details, refer to the Strategic Report on pages 1 to 61. Key drivers in the strategic plans are sales growth, margin and operating profit percentages. Sales projections take into consideration  both external factors such as market expectations, and internal factors such as execution on our strategy. They assume sales  increases in each country that are driven by an enlarged offer, an improved digital journey and local trading initiatives, supported  by structural changes in the growth of the home improvement market. Assumed gross margin percentages benefit from increased  sales of the Group\u2019s higher margin own exclusive brands (OEB), vendor negotiations and operational leverage from increased sales  on logistics and distribution costs. Assumed operating profit percentages reflect better utilisation of fixed costs as well as cost  savings through operational efficiencies, including a more efficient organisation and leveraging our goods-not-for-resale spend. Cash flows beyond the period of the strategic plans are calculated using a growth rate which does not exceed the long-term average  growth rate for the countries in which the Group\u2019s CGUs operate. The Board has reviewed a sensitivity analysis and does not consider that a reasonably possible change in the assumptions used in the  value-in-use calculations would cause the carrying amounts of the UK, France and Poland CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts.

Current year impairment charges principally relate to store property and equipment assets in the UK and France, resulting from increased discount rates and revised financial projections. The net store impairment charges of \u00a395m have been recorded as adjusting items. Total capitalised borrowing costs included within property, plant and equipment, net of depreciation, is \u00a316m (2021/22: \u00a316m). The Group does not revalue properties within its financial statements. A formal valuation of the portfolio was undertaken by external professional valuers in October 2022, with the valuations then updated to 31 January 2023. Based on this exercise the value of property is \u00a32.8bn (2021/22: \u00a32.7bn) on a sale and leaseback basis with Kingfisher in occupancy. The key assumption used in calculating this is the estimated yields. Property, plant and equipment market valuations are considered to have been determined by level 3 inputs as defined by the fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13, \u2018Fair value measurement\u2019. A vacant possession valuation basis is used to approximate the fair value less costs to sell when reviewing for impairment. Fixtures, fittings and equipment includes items such as store racking, computers and electronic equipment, motor cars and commercial vehicles. ",

These fair value measurements are all made using observable market rates of interest, foreign exchange and credit risk. 24  Derivatives continued All the derivatives held by the Group at fair value are considered to have fair values determined by level 2 inputs as defined by the  fair value hierarchy of IFRS 13, \u2018Fair value measurement\u2019, representing significant observable inputs other than quoted prices in active  markets for identical assets or liabilities. There are no non-recurring fair value measurements nor have there been any transfers of  assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy. At 31 January 2023, net financing derivative assets included in net debt amount to \u00a32m (2021/22: \u00a33m liability). Cash flow hedges Forward foreign exchange contracts hedge currency exposures of forecast inventory purchases. At 31 January 2023 the Sterling  equivalent amount of such contracts is \u00a31,276m (2021/22: \u00a31,236m). These are located in the derivative asset and derivative liability  lines in the consolidated balance sheet with carrying amounts of \u00a316m asset and \u00a352m liability. The associated fair value gains and  losses will be transferred to inventories when the purchases occur during the next 18 months. The amount recognised in other  comprehensive income during the year is a gain of \u00a358m (2021/22: \u00a359m gain). Gains of \u00a3117m (2021/22: \u00a316m loss) have been  transferred to inventories for contracts which matured during the year. During the year, gains of \u00a35m (2021/22: \u00a3nil) have been  transferred to the income statement due to ineffectiveness arising from differences in timing and amount of forecast transactions  relating to foreign currency inventory purchases. The weighted average hedged rates for derivatives outstanding at  31 January 2023 for our material currencies are EUR/USD 1.07 and GBP/USD 1.22. Hedge effectiveness is assessed at the inception of the hedge relationship and on an ongoing basis to ensure that an economic  relationship exists between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. The Group enters into hedge relationships where the critical  terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item. The Group performs a qualitative and, where  necessary, a quantitative assessment of effectiveness. For foreign currency inventory purchases, ineffectiveness may arise if the timing or amount of the forecast transaction changes  from what was originally estimated or if there are changes in the credit risk of the Group or the derivative counterparty. Foreign  currency basis spread of the derivative has been excluded from the hedge designation. The non-designated element is immediately  recognised in the income statement. The amount is immaterial in both years. Non-designated hedges The Group has entered into certain derivatives to provide a hedge against fluctuations in the income statement arising from balance  sheet positions. At 31 January 2023, the Sterling equivalent amount of such contracts is \u00a3481m (2021/22: \u00a3852m). These have not  been accounted for as hedges, since the fair value movements of the derivatives in the income statement offset the retranslation  of the balance sheet positions. These include short-term foreign exchange contracts. The Group has reviewed all significant contracts for embedded derivatives and none of these contracts has any embedded derivatives  which are not closely related to the host contract and therefore the Group is not required to account for these separately. The Group enters into netting agreements with counterparties to manage the credit and settlement risks associated with  over-the-counter derivatives. These netting agreements and similar arrangements generally enable the Group and its counterparties  to settle cash flows on a net basis and set-off liabilities against available assets in the event that either party is unable to fulfil its  contractual obligations.

The gains and losses on retranslation of the hedging instruments are presented in the translation reserve within other reserves to offset gains and losses on the hedged balance sheet exposure. The nominal values of these lease liabilities is \u00a3197m (2021/22: \u00a3166m). The amount recognised in the translation reserve is a loss of \u00a33m (2021/22: \u00a31m loss). There is no ineffectiveness for 2022/23. The cumulative total amount recognised in the translation reserve in relation to net investment hedges is a loss of \u00a3112m (2021/22: \u00a3109m). ",

   "value": "25  Financial risk management Kingfisher\u2019s treasury function has primary responsibility for managing certain financial risks to which the Group is exposed. The Board reviews the levels of exposure regularly and approves treasury policies covering the use of financial instruments required to manage these risks. Kingfisher\u2019s treasury function is not run as a profit centre and does not enter into any transactions for speculative purposes. In the normal course of business, the Group uses financial instruments including derivatives. The main types of financial instruments used are fixed term debt, bank loans and deposits, money market funds, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. Interest rate risk Borrowings arranged at floating rates of interest expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, whereas those arranged at fixed rates of interest expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group manages its interest rate risk by entering into certain interest rate derivative contracts which modify the interest rate payable on the Group\u2019s underlying debt instruments. Currency risk The Group\u2019s principal currency exposures are to the Euro, US Dollar, Polish Zloty and Romanian Leu. The Euro, Polish Zloty and  Romanian Leu exposures are operational and arise through the ownership of retail businesses in France, Spain, Portugal, the  Republic of Ireland, Poland and Romania. In particular, the Group generates a substantial part of its profit from the Eurozone and, as such, is exposed to the economic  uncertainty of its member states. The Group continues to monitor potential exposures and risks and consider effective risk  management solutions. It is the Group\u2019s policy not to hedge the translation of overseas earnings into Sterling. In addition, the Group has significant  transactional exposure arising on the purchase of inventories denominated in US Dollars, which it hedges using forward foreign  exchange contracts. Under Group policies, the Group\u2019s operating companies are required to hedge committed inventory  purchases and a proportion of forecast inventory purchases arising in the next 18 months. This is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group also has exposure to certain leases denominated in currencies which are different from the functional (reporting)  currencies of the lessee. To reduce the Group\u2019s exposure to this, most of the affected lease liabilities have been designated as  net investment hedges of Group assets held in the same currency. Kingfisher\u2019s policy is to manage the interest rate and currency profile of its debt and cash using derivative contracts. The effect of  these contracts on the Group\u2019s net debt is as follows: \u00a3 millions 2022/23 Sterling Euro US Dollar Other TotalFixed Floating Fixed Floating Fixed Floating Fixed Floating At 31 January 2023 Net cash/(debt) before financing  derivatives and lease liabilities \u2013 9 (2) 105 \u2013 28 \u2013 28 168 Financing derivatives \u2013 (425) \u2013 39 \u2013 326 \u2013 62 2 Lease liabilities (1,821) \u2013 (582) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (41) \u2013 (2,444) Net (debt)/cash (1,821) (416) (584) 144 \u2013 354 (41) 90 (2,274) \u00a3 millions 2021/22 Sterling Euro US Dollar Other TotalFixed Floating Fixed Floating Fixed Floating Fixed Floating At 31 January 2022 Net cash/(debt) before financing  derivatives and lease liabilities \u2013 142 (2) 179 \u2013 429 \u2013 59 807 Financing derivatives \u2013 (539) \u2013 372 \u2013 136 \u2013 28 (3) Lease liabilities (1,792) \u2013 (548) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (36) \u2013 (2,376) Net (debt)/cash (1,792) (397) (550) 551 \u2013 565 (36) 87 (1,572) 25  Financial risk management continued Financial instruments principally affected by interest rate and currency risks, being the significant market risks impacting Kingfisher,  are borrowings, deposits and derivatives. The following analysis illustrates the sensitivity of net finance costs (reflecting the impact  on profit) and derivative cash flow hedges (reflecting the impact on other comprehensive income) to changes in interest rates and  foreign exchange rates. \u00a3 millions 2022/23 2021/22 Net finance  costs  income/(costs) Net finance  costs  income/(costs) Effect of 1% rise in interest rates on net finance costs Sterling (4) (4) Euro 1 6 US Dollar 4 6 Other 1 1 Due to the Group\u2019s hedging arrangements and offsetting foreign currency assets and liabilities, there is no significant impact on profit  from the retranslation of financial instruments. \u00a3 millions 2022/23 2021/22 Derivative cash  flow hedges  increase Derivative cash  flow hedges  increase Effect of 10% appreciation in foreign exchange rates on derivative cash flow hedges US Dollar against Sterling 50 59 US Dollar against Euro 36 36 US Dollar against other 20 16 The impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash flow hedges results from retranslation of forward purchases of US Dollars  used to hedge forecast US Dollar purchases of inventories. The associated fair value gains and losses are deferred in equity until the  purchases occur. See note 24 for further details. The sensitivity analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on the carrying amount of trade and other payables  and receivables, due to the low associated sensitivity, and are before the effect of tax. It has been prepared on the basis that the  Group\u2019s debt, hedging activities, hedge accounting designations, and foreign currency proportion of debt and derivative contracts  remain constant, reflecting the positions at 31 January 2023 and 31 January 2022 respectively. As a consequence, the analysis relates  to the position at those dates and is not necessarily representative of the years then ended. In preparing the sensitivity analysis it is  assumed that all hedges are fully effective. The effects shown above would be reversed in the event of an equal and opposite change in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Liquidity risk The Group regularly reviews the level of cash and debt facilities required to fund its activities. This involves preparing a prudent cash flow forecast for the medium term, determining the level of debt facilities required to fund the business, planning for repayment of debt at its maturity and identifying an appropriate amount of headroom to provide a reserve against unexpected outflows and/or unexpected impacts to cash inflows. At 31 January 2023, the Group had an undrawn revolving credit facility of \u00a3550m due to expire in May 2025. The following table analyses the Group\u2019s financial liabilities and derivatives into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows (including interest) and as such may differ from the amounts disclosed on the balance sheet. \u00a3 millions 2022/23 On demand Less than 1 year 1-2 years 2-3 years 3-4 years 4-5 years More than 5 years Total At 31 January 2023 Bank overdrafts (16) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (16) Trade and other payables 1 \u2013 (1,846) (4) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (1,850) Bank loans and fixed term debt \u2013 (5) (105) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (110) Lease liabilities \u2013 (456) (439) (399) (353) (300) (1,241) (3,188) Derivative financial liabilities: Derivative contracts \u2013 receipts \u2013 996 100 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 1,096 Derivative contracts \u2013 payments \u2013 (1,043) (107) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (1,150) Derivative financial assets: Derivative contracts \u2013 receipts \u2013 658 3 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 661 Derivative contracts \u2013 payments \u2013 (643) (3) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (646) \u00a3 millions 2021/22 (restated)2 On demand Less than 1 year 1-2 years 2-3 years 3-4 years 4-5 years More than 5 years Total At 31 January 2022 Bank overdrafts (14) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (14) Trade and other payables 1, 2 \u2013 (1,977) (10) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (1,987) Bank loans \u2013 (1) (1) (1) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (3) Lease liabilities \u2013 (443) (423) (382) (339) (295) (1,203) (3,085) Derivative financial liabilities: Derivative contracts \u2013 receipts \u2013 954 39 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 993 Derivative contracts \u2013 payments \u2013 (965) (40) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (1,005) Derivative financial assets: Derivative contracts \u2013 receipts \u2013 1,606 34 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 1,640 Derivative contracts \u2013 payments \u2013 (1,573) (34) \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 (1,607) 1.

Prior year amounts have been restated to exclude \u00a3253m of payroll creditors and accruals which were previously recorded within Trade and other payables due in less than 1 year. 25  Financial risk management continued Credit risk The Group manages credit risk from investing activities in accordance with treasury policy. The Group deposits surplus cash with a  number of banks with strong long-term credit ratings (BBB and above) and with money market funds with AAA credit ratings offering  same-day liquidity. An exposure limit for each counterparty is agreed by the Board covering the full value of deposits and the fair  value of derivative assets. Credit risk is also managed by spreading investments and entering into derivative contracts across  several counterparties. As of 31 January 2023 the highest total cash investment with a single counterparty was \u00a37m (2021/22: \u00a385m). The Group applies the low credit risk simplification under IFRS 9 for expected credit losses relating to cash at bank, short-term  deposits and money market funds. The resulting expected credit losses are not significant. The Group\u2019s exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of trade and other receivables, cash at bank, short- term deposits and the fair value of derivative assets. Trade and other receivables mainly relate to trade receivables and rebates  which comprise low individual balances with short maturity spread across a large number of unrelated customers and suppliers,  resulting in low credit risk levels. They do not have a significant financing component and therefore the Group measures  expected credit losses using lifetime expected losses. The estimated lifetime expected losses are based on historical loss rates adjusted where necessary for expected changes in  economic conditions. At 31 January 2023, trade and other receivables that are past due amount to \u00a347m (2021/22: \u00a330m), of which \u00a37m (2021/22: \u00a33m) are  over 120 days past due.

A deferred tax asset of \u00a31m has been recognised in respect of such losses (2021/22: \u00a31m). No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of the remaining \u00a3214m (2021/22: \u00a3217m) due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. Included in this amount there are tax losses arising in Romania of \u00a3141m (2021/22: \u00a3139m) which can only be carried forward for a maximum of seven years. Of these, \u00a36m will expire in the next twelve months, \u00a394m in the next two to five years, and \u00a341m in the next six to seven years. Other unrecognised losses may be carried forward indefinitely. At the balance sheet date, the Group also has unused capital tax losses of \u00a310m (2021/22: \u00a313m) available for offset against future capital gains. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in the year in respect of such losses (2021/22: \u00a3nil). All of these losses may be carried forward indefinitely. A deferred tax liability of \u00a31m (2021/22: \u00a31m) has been recognised in the period, reflecting the withholding tax anticipated to arise in light of a planned repatriation of certain earnings that were generated in the current year. Except for this liability, all other unremitted earnings of overseas subsidiaries and joint ventures are continually reinvested by the Group. Therefore as no tax is expected to be payable on these earnings in the foreseeable future, no deferred tax liabilities are recorded in relation to them. Additional earnings which could be remitted on which there would be tax to pay total \u00a3235m (2021/22: \u00a3208m). ",

   "value": "28 <span class=\"_ _33\"> </span>Post-employment benefits<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group operates a variety of post-employment benefit arrangements covering both funded and unfunded defined benefit schemes and defined contribution schemes. The most significant defined benefit and defined contribution schemes are in the UK. The principal overseas defined benefit schemes are in France, where they are mainly retirement indemnity in nature.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Defined contribution schemes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Costs for the Group\u2019s defined contribution pension schemes, at rates specified in the individual schemes\u2019 rules, are as follows:<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>\u00a3 millions <span class=\"_ _27c\"> </span><span class=\"ff46\">2022/23<span class=\"_ _53\"> </span></span>2021/22<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Charge to operating profit<span class=\"_ _2bb\"> </span><span class=\"ff46\">47<span class=\"_ _85\"> </span></span>43<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>From July 2012, an enhanced defined contribution pension scheme was offered to all UK employees. Eligible UK employees have been automatically enrolled into the scheme since 31 March 2013.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Defined benefit schemes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group\u2019s principal defined benefit arrangement is its funded, final salary pension scheme in the UK. This scheme was closed to new entrants from April 2004 and was closed to future benefit accrual from July 2012.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The scheme operates under trust law and is managed and administered by the Trustee on behalf of members in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed and Rules and relevant legislation. The Trustee Board consists of ten Trustee Directors, made up of five employer-appointed Directors, one independent Director and four member-nominated Directors. The Trustee Board delegates day-to-day administration of the scheme to the Group pensions department of Kingfisher plc.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The main risk to the Group is that additional contributions are required if investment returns and demographic experience are worse than expected. The scheme therefore exposes the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, currency risk, inflation risk, interest rate risk and market (investment) risk. The Trustee Board regularly reviews such risks and mitigating controls, with a risk register being formally approved on an annual basis. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the Group and the Trustee\u2019s investment strategy includes a planned medium-term de-risking of assets, switching from return-seeking to liability-matching assets. Other de-risking activities have included the scheme acquiring an interest in a property partnership, as set out further below, and entering into bulk annuities.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>A full actuarial valuation of the scheme is carried out every three years by an independent actuary for the Trustee and the last full valuation was carried out as at 31 March 2022. Following this valuation and in accordance with the scheme\u2019s Statement of Funding Principles, the Trustee and Kingfisher have agreed to cease annual employer contributions during the period from August 2022 to July 2025. This agreement has been reached with reference to a funding objective that targets a longer-term, low risk funding position in excess of the minimum statutory funding requirements. This longer-term objective is based on the principle of the scheme reaching a point where it can provide benefits to members with a high level of security, thereby limiting its reliance on the employer for future support. The Company monitors the scheme funding level on a regular basis and will reassess with the scheme Trustee the appropriate level of contributions at future valuations.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Trust Deed provides Kingfisher with an unconditional right to a refund of surplus assets assuming the full settlement of plan liabilities in the event of a plan wind-up. Furthermore, in the ordinary course of business the Trustee has no rights to unilaterally wind up, or otherwise augment the benefits due to members of, the scheme. Based on these rights, any net surplus in the UK scheme is recognised in full.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span><div class=\"t m0 hc ff46 fs9 fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs928\">28 <span class=\"_ _33\"> </span>Post-employment benefits continued<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 h17 ff46 fsf fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs929\">UK scheme interest in property partnership<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span></div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs92a\">In 2010/11, the Group established a partnership, Kingfisher Scottish Limited Partnership (\u2018Kingfisher SLP\u2019), as part of an arrangement<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> </div><div class=\"t m0 hf ff47 fsb fc2 sc0 ls0 ws0 gs92b\">with the UK scheme Trustee to address an element of the scheme deficit and provide greater security to the Trustee.

   "value": "Defined benefit schemes<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Group\u2019s principal defined benefit arrangement is its funded, final salary pension scheme in the UK. This scheme was closed to new entrants from April 2004 and was closed to future benefit accrual from July 2012.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The scheme operates under trust law and is managed and administered by the Trustee on behalf of members in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed and Rules and relevant legislation. The Trustee Board consists of ten Trustee Directors, made up of five employer-appointed Directors, one independent Director and four member-nominated Directors. The Trustee Board delegates day-to-day administration of the scheme to the Group pensions department of Kingfisher plc.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The main risk to the Group is that additional contributions are required if investment returns and demographic experience are worse than expected. The scheme therefore exposes the Group to actuarial risks, such as longevity risk, currency risk, inflation risk, interest rate risk and market (investment) risk. The Trustee Board regularly reviews such risks and mitigating controls, with a risk register being formally approved on an annual basis. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the Group and the Trustee\u2019s investment strategy includes a planned medium-term de-risking of assets, switching from return-seeking to liability-matching assets. Other de-risking activities have included the scheme acquiring an interest in a property partnership, as set out further below, and entering into bulk annuities.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>A full actuarial valuation of the scheme is carried out every three years by an independent actuary for the Trustee and the last full valuation was carried out as at 31 March 2022. Following this valuation and in accordance with the scheme\u2019s Statement of Funding Principles, the Trustee and Kingfisher have agreed to cease annual employer contributions during the period from August 2022 to July 2025. This agreement has been reached with reference to a funding objective that targets a longer-term, low risk funding position in excess of the minimum statutory funding requirements. This longer-term objective is based on the principle of the scheme reaching a point where it can provide benefits to members with a high level of security, thereby limiting its reliance on the employer for future support. The Company monitors the scheme funding level on a regular basis and will reassess with the scheme Trustee the appropriate level of contributions at future valuations.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>The Trust Deed provides Kingfisher with an unconditional right to a refund of surplus assets assuming the full settlement of plan liabilities in the event of a plan wind-up. Furthermore, in the ordinary course of business the Trustee has no rights to unilaterally wind up, or otherwise augment the benefits due to members of, the scheme. Based on these rights, any net surplus in the UK scheme is recognised in full.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>28 <span class=\"_ _33\"> </span>Post-employment benefits continued<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>UK scheme interest in property partnership<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>In 2010/11, the Group established a partnership, Kingfisher Scottish Limited Partnership (\u2018Kingfisher SLP\u2019), as part of an arrangement<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> with the UK scheme Trustee to address an element of the scheme deficit and provide greater security to the Trustee. The<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> partnership interests are held by the Group and by the scheme, the latter resulting from investments of \u00a378m and \u00a3106m made by<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> the Trustee in January and June 2011 respectively. These investments followed Group contributions of the same amounts into the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> scheme. In accordance with IAS 19, \u2018Employee benefits\u2019, the investments held by the scheme in Kingfisher SLP do not represent plan<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> assets for the purposes of the Group\u2019s consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the reported pension position does not reflect<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> these investments.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>UK property assets with market values of \u00a383m and \u00a3119m were transferred, in January 2011 and June 2011 respectively, into the<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> partnership and leased back to B&amp;Q Limited. The Group retains control over these properties, including the flexibility to substitute<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span> alternative properties. The Trustee has a first charge over the properties in the event that Kingfisher plc becomes insolvent.

The assumptions for life expectancy of UK scheme members are as follows:<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Years<span class=\"_ _2cf\"> </span><span class=\"ff4c\">2022/23<span class=\"_ _53\"> </span></span>2021/22<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Age to which current pensioners are expected to live (60 now) <span class=\"_ _1d\"></span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span><span class=\"fs10\">Male<span class=\"_ _2d0\"> </span><span class=\"ff4c fs7\">86.2<span class=\"_ _76\"> </span><span class=\"ff4b\">86.4</span></span></span> <span class=\"_ _1d\"></span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span><span class=\"fs10\">Female <span class=\"_ _23d\"> </span><span class=\"ff4c fs7\">88.7<span class=\"_ _7b\"> </span><span class=\"ff4b\">87.3<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span></span></span></span>Age to which future pensioners are expected to live (60 in 15 years\u2019 time) <span class=\"_ _1d\"></span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span><span class=\"fs10\">Male<span class=\"_ _212\"> </span><span class=\"ff4c fs7\">87.5<span class=\"_ _76\"> </span><span class=\"ff4b\">87.5</span></span></span> <span class=\"_ _1d\"></span>\u2014<span class=\"_ _1e\"> </span><span class=\"fs10\">Female<span class=\"_ _299\"> </span><span class=\"ff4c fs7\">90.8<span class=\"_ _93\"> </span><span class=\"ff4b\">90.2<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span></span></span></span>The following sensitivity analysis for the UK scheme shows the estimated impact on the obligation resulting from changes to key actuarial assumptions, whilst holding all other assumptions constant.<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Assumption<span class=\"_ _2d1\"> </span>Change in assumption<span class=\"_ _162\"> </span>Impact on defined benefit obligation<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span>Discount rate<span class=\"_ _2d2\"> </span><span class=\"fs7\">Increase/decrease by 1.0%<span class=\"_ _2d3\"> </span>Decrease/increase by \u00a3320m </span>Price inflation<span class=\"_ _2c2\"> </span><span class=\"fs7\">Increase/decrease by 0.5%<span class=\"_ _133\"> </span>Increase/decrease by \u00a3134m </span>Rate of pension increases<span class=\"_ _2d4\"> </span><span class=\"fs7\">Increase/decrease by 0.5%<span class=\"_ _133\"> </span>Increase/decrease by \u00a3127m<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span></span>Mortality<span class=\"_ _175\"> </span><span class=\"fs7\">Increase/decrease in life expectancy by one year<span class=\"_ _2ae\"> </span>Increase/decrease by \u00a374m<span class=\"_ _322\"> </span></span>In consideration of the recent volatility in discount rates, note that a 2.0% increase/decrease in the discount rate assumption would result in a decrease/increase in the defined benefit obligation of approximately \u00a3770m.

Expected life is disclosed based on the UK schemes. For the Kingfisher Incentive Share Plan scheme in the UK, the expiry date is 7 years from the date of grant. For the Performance Share Plan, Transformation Incentive award and Alignment Share award the expiry date is 10 years from the date of grant. Expiry of the overseas Alignment Share award is 3 years from the date of grant. 2.  Expected volatility was determined for each individual award (or relevant components of an award), by calculating the historical volatility of the Group\u2019s share price (plus reinvested dividends) immediately prior to the grant of the award, over the same period as the vesting period of each award, adjusted by expectations of future volatility. 3.  As these awards are made under an approved SAYE scheme, option holders cannot be compensated for dividends foregone. As such the historical dividend yield is used, calculated as dividends announced in the 12 months prior to grant as a percentage of the share price on the date of grant. 4.  Risk free rate was determined for each individual award (or relevant components of an award). ",
